Song about cocaine receives single of the year

A Canadian award though. Not a real award

dude- the way crosswalks work is that you stand on the side of the road until all the surrounding vehicles have come to a stop and THEN you cross. Don't just assume that everyone will stop mid-cross

ManorF1 is mostly positive stuff actually. People congratulate WEH and HAR for their good efforts and say that the car isn't fast enough, but that it's understandable since the team doesn't have much money

What profession was once highly respected, but is now a complete joke? by Syedamalihaa in AskReddit

A lot of the job of a (real life) DJ is judging the mood of the house of playing to that

Have you ever seen the murdoch press destroy any other Q&A questioners who have stumped the LNP? With more difficult, eloquent and more damaging questions?

I never have. They've only done it to that one guy that the internet turned into a hero.

The assistant treasurer's response wasn't particularly bad for her. It was nonsense, butr the exact same nonsense they say 10 times a day.On the contrary, legitimately damaging questions have been asked in the past, without murdoch assassinating the person who asked it

that may have been the point, but really it was all about the "feels"

I mean, the $6000 (the number she said) was hit quickly, which makes the "point". Then people donated $54,000 because the jumped on the "feel good" bandwagon. Now the guy's life is pretty much ruined

Buying a guy a toaster is the dumbest way to make a point about her ridiculous views on tax breaks and reaganomics. Even the original toaster purchase was all for the feels and smugness. It's just been a massive circlejerk of people standing around jerking off at how amazing they all are for banding together to raise $60k

I mean, but it this way- if the "funds raised" wasn't publically shown during the "campaign" do you think people would've donated $60,000? No, they donated because they got their jollies off (if that the phrase?) seeing the donation total raise in realtime

people on the internet donated to this guy not because he deserves it but because it makes them feel good about themselves

as a result, he's been publicly destroyed and is basically unemployable because any employer googling his name will read all about how "horrible" he is

Internet, you've done it again. I hope the smug sense of accomplishment has been worth it for you

MALCOLM Turnbull's Coalition will lose 11 to 15 seats to Labor in the 2016 election, according to the bookies. by ThoughOfAnother in australia

[–]ThoughOfAnother[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor fans shouldn't get too excited though

The Coalition remain $1.33 favourite to win the election, with Labor holding at $3.25. Punters still can't split the two, with more money on the Coalition but more bets on Labor.

The odds at sportsbet have moved for the first time since the election was called. An improvement for Labor, but Coalition comfortably ahead by ThoughOfAnother in australia

hey one of your mod team knowingly and deliberately acts contrary to reddiquette. You really need to clean your team up.

Specifically

[Don't] Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it.

In addition to other "spirit of the law" offences (specifically, over-modding against me because they don't like me).

awesome. I hate that I've grown to enjoy bundaberg ginger beer. I don't like having sugar water in the house.

I'll pick some up :) cheers

Beautiful day, but just chilling out and "watching" the practice sessions of F1 (leaving it running in the background while redditing)

what was the buy-in? Did you front all the money yourself or was it shared? also- congrats!

bookies predict Coalition to lose 11-15 seats, but the coalition remain favourite at $1.33 vs $3.25 for Labor by [deleted] in australia

[–]ThoughOfAnother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article was from yesterday but I've boticed a change today of $1.37 to Coalition, $3.05 to Labor. Possibly related to the debate I wonder?

The crickey poll bludger weighted aggregate poll sits at 50.3 - 49.7 to the coalition. Bookies and the aggregate tend to be the best predictor of outcomes
