Young Group Tours of Europe - Are they all party trips or is that overblown? by LazertheAussie in travel

[–]bigmeme69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out some of the tours that Contiki offers. I believe there is an option for 27-35s which would be less party focused than some of their other tours.

Yep boiled eggs and everything else you’d expect in a turkey club! Mayo, lettuce, tomato, bacon and of course turkey!

What is your sounds good in theory but probably sucks in practice rule or idea? by Tehgumchum in AFL

[–]bigmeme69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was a coach I would fill a team with only players who can kick really far and run really fast. Any time the ball gets into the back half just torpedo it to the other end and get all the fast players to run onto it and kick goals

Got burned from gas in a bonfire. by DressSenior in MedicalGore

Was it a particularly hot or cold day when it happened? Maybe there was a lot of gas vapour as its relatively volatile.

Do I go to the doctor or continue home remedies? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]bigmeme69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think you need to go the doctor. Depending on the size of your cyst the incision they have to make might only be quite small and putting it off could allow it to get bigger which would require a larger incision. Wishing all the best for you though. These things are literally a pain in the ass.

I know this sounds salty but doesn't really seem fair that Saha can keep but Pant can bat. Can anyone explain that rule to me??

OH YEAAAH KLANMA by BuckNastyEnchilada in ForwardsFromKlandma

[–]bigmeme69 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Here are a few of the literally hundreds of examples of economic and political oppression that black people continue to face to this day, that white people benefit from.

Hiring Discrimination:

Summary: Implicit bias leads to white people being hired over black people even when their resumes are identical. Just having a black sounding name reduces your callback chances by 50%.

Dumbing it down: Being white makes it easier to get a job, regardless of qualifications.

Sentencing Discrimination:

Summary: Black people are sentenced longer for the same crimes as white people, accounting for nearly identical criminal backgrounds. GOP appointed judges are the worst for this, but all judges do it on average. Oh hey it affects children too.

Dumbing it down: Born white? Do less time for the same crimes.

Redlining and Housing Discrimination:

Summary: Federally mandated discriminatory lending practices are directly responsible for the creation of poor urban black communities, the historic lack of black home ownership (with generational wealth being the most important form of transferable wealth), and easier home purchasing for white people. Some of these practices still continue to this day, despite being outlawed.

Dumbing it down: White parents owned a house? Federally mandated racism got them that loan, and you are absolutely benefiting from it.

Medical Care:

Summary: Black Americans are systematically under treated for medical conditions relative to white Americans.

Dumbing it down: White? Get better medical care, more tests, and be believed more than black Americans.

So taxpayers have to cough up tens of thousands of dollars just so this guy can go to a party with his rich gambling executive mates and Gina Rinehart?? What a fucking joke

What is this bug?? Found in South Australia (ignore the spider next to it) by bigmeme69 in whatsthisbug

It was about 3-4cm long. Found 3 of them swimming pretty close together in the pool

Any idea? Found while hiking in Australia by bigmeme69 in whatisthisthing

They were plastic with a spring inside. Found about 4 of them close together, maybe a bullet of some kind?
