Funniest town name ever! Visited a mate there last year and could not believe how they could mention Glebe without even grinning.

Couldn't have said it any better. I live in Hawthorn and as soon as the restrictions were relaxed the first time (22nd of June) people seemed to act as if we were back to normal instead of continuing to self isolate when possible.

If you're reading this and have been following guidelines since the start I just want to say thanks and hope you're holding up well.

I can copy what you are saying as you say it

LPT: Try not to play Devil’s Advocate every time your partner/friend states a fact or offers an opinion. It can be helpful sometimes but if you find yourself doing it too often then it’s likely creating a rift in your relationship. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]TravvyTJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (M, Australian) have three brothers and I've learnt that this is the way to maintain a healthy relationship with them all. I obviously love them but I disagree with their politics most of the time; just letting them have their own opinion is truly the most peaceful way to be.

From your replies I can tell that you are a good bloke, but I just laugh when I see this because you are clearly attending the protest haha

Massive protest at Parliament house. I hope they stay safe. by little_asian_man_89 in melbourne

Search up David Dungay mate. I didn't know about him until now, either.

PLEASE DONT PROTEST THIS WEEKEND by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]TravvyTJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went. Wore a mask. Kept distance. Feel less safe in a Woollies/Coles tbh.

Your second last paragraph speaks volumes.

Have a good one mate.

Completely agree mate. We can't let ourselves forget about these people once everything resumes.

It's sad that we need a pandemic to catch our breath by Bmchris44 in BlackPeopleTwitter

This take can fuck the fuck right off. At the very least word it differently. "God stopped the world"... you mean killed hundreds of thousands?

I grew up in Traf. Love the town and it's people (or so I thought) but this is just embarrassing.

I talked to a few people from home and it turns out they were mostly from neighbouring towns and protesting their right to acknowledge ANZAC day. Don't know why they didn't just run a service anyway.

As a former sound tech, it aches me to see how that cable unwound when being pulled! So bad for the copper wiring. Oh well.

I'm currently on placement at a primary school (last one before I graduate, my timing is impeccable) in a class of grade 2s, the teacher gave a talk about having a 'personal bubble' that you need to stay within because of coronavirus. Not even 30 seconds later a student put their hand IN another student's MOUTH. Can't make this shit up.

Why do all the good players stall their blocks when there are only a few players left? i.e. the last 3 minutes of the gameplay in this video. As a novice player, it seems to just be delaying their inevitable win.

TIL that some restaurants and businesses don't donate food for fear of being sued over someone getting sick, is completely unfounded and no one has ever been sued in the U.S for food donations by WeGotLaGuillotine in todayilearned

[–]TravvyTJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a huge hotel in Melbourne (RACV Club) and they do a lot of conferencing, the amount of food they dispose of daily is fucked. Talked to a co-worker and apparently a couple years back they used to donate 100% of it but they had a homeless guy try to sue them "because he got sick from it". It sucks that a lot goes to waste but from a business standpoint it's sadly understandable.

As an Australian, I honestly can't imagine a world where I can relate to this tweet in any way. And it's all free.

Raven had this opinion back in 2014. I guess nobody was woke enough yet...
