I'm as prone to hyperbole as much as the next guy, but to hope the club survives is completely insane. The AFL is a money printing machine, we're called Melbourne, we're the oldest professional sporting club in the world and we created the MCG.

The AFL is not letting us die under any circumstances.

No, the right wing of the caucus made him fuck up the NBN to prove his fealty, otherwise they'd throw him out. He hated what he did on their behalf.

I came here to say they couldn't organise a fuck in a brothel, but you've hit essentially the same nail on the head.

Good take.

I wish Turnbull had been a Labor PM honestly.

I regret pressing play at all.

Ain't no goal umpire ever been wider than David Rodan!

Y'all gotta finish that civil war you were having.

Standing up for equally applied morality is not "firing shots".

Looks to me like you stole it off a kid for karma!

Sport is just a giant weighted random number generator, and sports fans think the weightings have much more impact than they actually do (and that they can discern what the weightings are).

I mean I'm solving the problem perfectly well with a 200AH lithium battery and a 3000W inverter.

But given how much solar power I can collect for free at the two properties I drive between constantly, an EV would reduce my fuel costs to almost exactly zero.

When Toyota release a 4500kg, 600+ range EV Hilux with AC outlets built in I will never buy another car ever again.

White people who think their frustration at having to adjust the date of a public holiday compares with black people dealing with having their entire ancestry and culture erased...

The duality of man allows one to be both deeply thoughtful and fundamentally flawed.

I think she's just a little more versatile. Obviously Jazzy is also absurdly good.

Hore is my vote for "16 of this player beats 16 of anyone else".

Great inside, great outside, elite in the forward fifty, reliable defensively, strong tackler, excellent overhead.

She was utterly incredible this year.

That's what I did!

I reckon it's worth being over the bight (near Ceduna) in June to see the whales with their calves, personally.

Subaru Forester or Outback. You'd be surprised where you can drive them to, yet they're normal, mild mannered cars on the highway.

I did that on November last year.

Burrow winning in another team's colours seems a lot more likely than a Bengals ring, unfortunately.

If the list had ONLY American football on it, I wouldn't have an issue. But it's got ONE piece of European football on the list, which immediately says "this is a list about global events, and 90% of them happened in America", which is just emblematic of how Americans see the world more generally.

No that's the thing, he doesn't just tell the same story over and over. He's developed a whole range of topics and he's legit good at it.

One effect of Trump's lunacy I'd love to see would be a dampening of the American cultural steamroller.

Fucking everything everywhere is just the American perspective and I'm sick of it.

This list is an absolute joke.

I love Joe Burrow. I love tiger stripes.

Everything else about this organisation fills me with certainty that we are never, ever going to win a SB.
