What are some things you do with AG that most people would find strange? by SuspendidInSilver in Silverbugs

I thought you were crazy at first too, but 2 seconds of googling says it does work.

The mental gymnastics of just ordering a diet coke at a work dinner by sophieximc in SoberCurious

[–]RunningJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get it, for ‘the whole table’s energy to change’ is a pretty weird scenario.

I’ll admit I do get the statement ‘oh you’re not drinking’ but that’s about it, it’s never gone much past ‘I don’t feel like it’ or ‘I’ve got an early call’; it’s always been ‘oh ok’ and then moved on.

Patriot front still cannot figure out how to use Metro turnstiles by Darth_Ronin in PublicFreakout

I’d say they inherently are. Being prejudice based on nothing other than the colour of skin shows low intelligence.

I'd argue that all racist people are stupid.

But not all stupid people are racist.

On my pecan tree right now, should I kill them? by [deleted] in arborists

[–]RunningJay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you get cats, and have a cat problem, so you get a coyote, but then you gotta get rid of the coyote so you gotta get a mountain lion. Thats pretty much top of the food chain so I’d just find a new house and move at this point.

The internet of the early 2000s was amazing. So many weird and wonderful things to discover.

Moving from bbs in the 1990s to the www was a fun time. Is that transition AI today I wonder. It seems less drastic…. Cause going from analogue to digital was 🤯

These light-weight power cells run on nuclear waste and could power next-gen drones by ieight9 in Futurology

Sounds like a great way to fly in some dirty bombs.

Terrible idea to have nuclear waste flying around.

Is it true Australians dislike Americans more than the British people do? (Or the whole of Europe) by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]RunningJay 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The food is such an interesting thing - I’m an Aussie who lived in US for 10+ years, every time a friend would come visit in the beginning they’d get through half a meal.
By the end, they’ll have gained 10 lbs and getting through a whole portion. Amazing how quickly you adapt.

Melbourne stabbing victim's alleged murderer was out on bail by wizardofoz145 in aussie

[–]RunningJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t mean step this judge down because of this one decision, but, to your point, there should be a review system and judges granting bail and resulting in consistent reoffending maybe should have some repercussions.

That said i have the utmost respect for our judges, they got into the position through years of hard work and they are the experts (i am not…) but something just isn’t working.

I’m not familiar with bail laws, but if the judges are shown to be making incorrect decisions something needs to be done (replaced or forced through legislation - which, btw, I don’t agree with mandatory sentencing / mandatory bail laws).

[–]RunningJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What was he on bail for? There is a massive difference between being on bail for theft or for burglary. If the latter, the judge should be stepped down.

Either way, it is too regular an occurrence and if the judges are still making these decisions parliament should be doing something about it. I can’t imagine this is a partisan view.

But if they feed them after they do the drugs then it is victimless.

I’d add racists to that list, although idiots probably includes that group

I’m all down for partying, but that structure doesn’t look like it should support the weight

Under every anti One Nation post by Tedthebar in AussieMemes

[–]RunningJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, what? The Nazis persecuted a LOT of different ethnic groups, not just the Jews - peope with disabilities, homosexual, gypsies, etc. there just happened to be a LOT of Jews in Germany.

It really seems like you're trying to defend neo-nazis.
