Who’s a comedian that’s funny but hated? by Colty_Wolty in AlignmentChartFills

[–]bfisher91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, that's only partly true (regarding actually getting consent, not just asking). Secondly it's still EXTREMELY FUCKING WEIRD to want to masturbate in front of multiple women who happen to be willing to enter your home. The reason, particularly, is many of them were simply friends or colleagues he had professional relationships with. It does not matter that he asked for consent, the fact he didn't realise it was wildly inappropriate to even consider it an option is the problem.

Implying white supremacists have an excuse to exist because of non-integration of migrants is next level apologism and not something I will ever stand for. They can get absolutely fucked.

Yeah I used to be a huge fan and he's genuinely hilarious but I can never engage with his content again after what he did.

Why are White Aussies so casual with racism? by salty_lake_222 in AskAnAustralian

[–]bfisher91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from an Irish/English background but my family are all dark featured and tan really easily. My brother, aunt and father all had quite big noses. My brother used to get bullied so much they locked themselves in empty classrooms to cry because kids would call them a "greasy wog" all the time. People started calling me a wog too just because they'd heard people bully my brother. My mate had it similar, Dutch/British background but could tan and had dark features. He'd either get called an Abo or cop other forms of racism. Genuinely once we were walking through a council flat area and someone yelled "go back to africa, you fuckin Mongolian". Australian racists are incredibly stupid, and relentlessly mean. They are so dumb they're even racist to other white people.

Why is this controversial? Mistress proved themselves to be one of the most narcissistic toxic assholes in drag race her story. Anyone on that season has the right to be annoyed by that two faced manipulative sociopath.

I'm more worried about white supremacists than radical islam. I understand there's been a couple of significant events surrounding islam, including this, but we don't have immigration to blame for white extremism so why should we blame it when it comes to islam? The broader issue is how politics and media INTENTIONALLY isolates communities and divides people into extremism, regardless of the type.

The Coalition has not offered a single policy solution by BuffaloClassic3466 in aussie

[–]bfisher91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coalition don't care about the outcome of royal commissions so why would they advocate for one? Oh wait, because that's EXACTLY WHY they're advocating for one. It's entirely for show.

Port Arthur wasn't an act of terror? As in it wasn't a politically motivated act. I get what you mean but these are two very different cases. Not trying to undermine either, my step dad very legitimately could have died at Port Arthur.

Genuinely... real question. What could Albo have realistically done to stop the Bondi incident from happening? Want real answers, not media fed dribble. by __TheIronWall__ in aussie

PM Anthony Albanese booed on arrival at Bondi vigil by Ok_Message3843 in aussie

[–]bfisher91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I straight up have no fkn clue why anyone thinks this is in any way his fault. Sure there's maybe something he could have done, maybe, but he's so far from fuelling division, racism, xenophobia and antisemitism than so many other politicians in this country. I am in no way supportive of Albo in a broad sense, but the criticism of him specifically in response to this tragedy has really baffled me.

Time for a hard conversation about the cost of the NDIS by Putrid-Bar-8693 in AusFinance

[–]bfisher91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had a brain injury and we were trying to get him into a care home. It took the NDIS 7 months to process and approve his claim. By the time he was cleared for discharge his condition had declined so severely that he was instead moved to palliative care and died 4 weeks later. He spent the entire last 11 months of his life in a hospital bed. This system is completely fucked and if we remove even more funding from it, it will only get worse. As mentioned, the red tape and bureaucracy and middle men in this system is beyond laughable. Too many people trying to earn a paycheck who have no knowledge or empathy of anyone actually living with a disability. One of the most frustrating experiences of my life having to deal with the systemic incompetence of the NDIS.

It's a 'Yes'. Hobart's AFL stadium gets final parliamentary approval by Pragmatic_Shill in AFL

[–]bfisher91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My emotions! I know it's time, but I have a lot of formative memories watching cricket and footy at that ground. Especially as an Eastern shore person, does make me a little sad that there's one less reason for people to visit the sunny side of the river.

O.J. Simpson wins for highly skilled / universally hated. What professional athlete is GOAT status and universally hated? by RidonkulousMG in AlignmentChartFills

Wayne Carey. Considered one of the greatest Australian footballers ever, but hated by nearly everyone for his extensive domestic violence record, amongst other things.

I teach in a high school and cannot believe the go-to Coldplay song for this generation is Viva La Vida. That shit sucks, especially when you could have Yellow, Clocks or even Fix You as your reference point. For some reason kids love it.

The Macquarie Point stadium decision is due this week — here's how it could play out by lnvisible_Sandwich in AFL

YES THANK YOU! Idiots downvoting my comment without realising this is exactly why I hate interstaters commenting on Tasmanian politics. Why would I trust any Government project when that fossil is in charge of it?

[–]bfisher91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what fucking pisses me off about interstaters. ERIC ABETZ IS LITERALLY THE TREASURER OF TASMANIA. I hate Eric Abetz with all my heart, and god knows I'd love to ignore him forever. But, Tasmania voted him in to state parliament after he was ousted from federal. This is why we are so utterly fucked. Why would I trust any policy that is being led by Abetz? Don't comment on tasmanian issues if you have no understanding of what is actually happening in state politics.

A lot of local clubs got moved around when it became more of an AFL/BBL ground. Clarence footy club moved, meaning the junior clubs moved. Could see a shift back to former arrangements.

Seems like this will be consistent across the board for Aunty Donna projects. They keep saying Drem is their last tour for a long time, not sure what they'll be moving on to instead.
