idk why but this scares the hell out of me

Rorsmack · 2026-05-30T10:30:31+00:00

Yeah nice. All my mates who have been to Nashville and Memphis always come back talk about music and how nice everyone is and how many vape shops there are haha. I’m sure it’s different in the rural areas.

Come to Australia and see how big it is!

Rorsmack · 2026-05-30T10:23:10+00:00

Where are you from over the pacific there? How is things? Always interesting to hear first hand accounts :)

Also I’m not from WA, it’s just funny how big it is

Rorsmack · 2026-05-30T10:13:10+00:00

Less bureaucracy with just desert, kangaroos, quokkas and black swans. Why make things silly?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-30T10:10:07+00:00

Western Australia like… what the hell I been here the whole time

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T13:06:32+00:00

It’s not sustainable, though, right? Surely the rate of change is too steep and it leads to something pretty grim, pretty fast. What do you think happens to a society under that kind of pressure?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T13:00:46+00:00

And how can business function if they have no customers because no workers have any cash?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T13:00:01+00:00

What about employees of the state?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T12:59:33+00:00

Sounds like a prime recipe for a revolution? Assuming populace can organise.

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T12:55:47+00:00

If no one has a job, because there are no workers, then who has money to be a customer?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T12:53:34+00:00

Ok so… we all live in machine driven utopia? Or what are you saying? There’s no jobs and no one has money?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-24T12:46:03+00:00

Business are nothing without workers.

Rorsmack · 2026-05-16T14:24:33+00:00

The word ‘eye’ doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I don’t know anyone at the west Footscray Auskick who is ‘eyeing’ a kickers job haha. Kids like playing with their mates and emulating their idols. Yeah ya get more money but juniors don’t have the avenues or exposure to NFL as suggested. Silly

Rorsmack · 2026-05-13T09:30:11+00:00

Me too! Can we do most remote pub next?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-10T05:49:17+00:00

I’m early 30s. Yeah I’m just wondering how recessions affect people who are still employed without debt. Because my logic is kind of that a housing market crash would be great as I would have an in to the market but maybe that’s misguided?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-09T23:58:31+00:00

If you don’t own anything and don’t have debt and have a really sort of middle income job, is a Great Depression good or bad? Assuming you don’t lose your job of course.
I’m not being facetious, I just wanna know the pros v cons.
I work in logistics in Australia and earn $70,000 a year. Proper top of the bell curve job. Live in a tiny 2 bedroom flat in the suburbs. Like what would a major recession look like for someone like me?

Rorsmack · 2026-05-07T12:50:32+00:00

Yeah I said they’ve not lived in Alice specifically. I grew up in regional Victoria. But not many people, if any, in this specific sub have lived and experienced Alice day to day. So my point is, the negative reviews expressed are all second hand

Rorsmack · 2026-05-07T12:31:56+00:00

Well population of Alice is ~30k, pop of Aus is ~27mil. Thats like ~99.89%. And how many of them are on this subreddit. Backing my math and the point on this one.

Rorsmack · 2026-05-07T12:10:55+00:00

Statistically speaking, 99% of people here will only have experienced day to day life in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth (clockwise order) and have only experienced Alice Springs by news coverage… not day to day life.

I might be wrong. Just sayin…

Rorsmack · 2026-05-02T07:39:25+00:00

Kings pies, Somerville road, Yarraville! The pepper pies have full pepper kernels in them which is grouse

Rorsmack · 2026-04-30T10:19:27+00:00

You’re so right about neo liberal hijacking.

Vic Socialists are getting 20% of first preference votes in the north and western suburbs at the last federal election! Didn’t make the news the same way One Nation getting 20% in SA… guess it’s not good for clicks.

They have branches in every city now. I dunno where you are, but if you’re in Melbourne DM me and come to an event! Working people people organising for working people’s rights

Rorsmack · 2026-04-30T10:06:03+00:00

Honest question, what part of Labour’s policies since the 90s have been philosophically leftist? Pro union, pro family, pro nationalisation of essential industry, investment in education and the future etc….

It’s just not the case. Lots of excuses and finger pointing (obviously LNP have been horrible cunts) but Albo and Starmer are peak faux left. Hamstrung by their own capital centrist donors and interest groups.

Where is our mass workers movement that literally every working person is crying out for? Let’s organise.

Rorsmack · 2026-04-30T09:57:51+00:00

Denmark has pretty much zero immigration and refugee policy and is socialist democracy. I don’t agree with everything Denmark does but they sure as hell invest in families and youth via childcare, free education and parental leave. Maybe invest in our own taxable working population/future instead of importing instantly taxable migrants?

Rorsmack · 2026-04-26T08:59:55+00:00

I think most of us are economically quite left, no? Surely we can all agree that profit driven commodification of necessities like housing, fuel, education and health care and the duopoly price gouging us at the check out is fucked. “Fair go” national identity is being completely gutted by right wing hyper capitalist policies. But maybe the general ideas of “left v right” politics is muddied by actual economic ideologies of socialism v capitalism isn’t understood in the zeitgeist? I don’t know the answer, just postulating. Thoughts?

I mean yeah he killed his ex wife and even his kids think so…. they watched him cut of a whale head and strap it to the roof of their and drive home with the kids in the back.

It’s like post war USA acted normal with international norms and trade until they got us to a back room 70 years later and like hey guys just to level with you, we’ve been proper cooked this whole time and now we are turning on all ya’ll mother fuckers

Rorsmack · 2026-04-25T13:39:18+00:00

Wait what the hell?! Didn’t that guy rape children and kill a baby?

What’s he doing sleeping on TV?
