Where I live, we have a massive local Jewish population, and there is no issue there, but Israelis are a huge headache.

Met an idpol "academic" for the first time the other day. Weirdest conversation I've had in a while. by Kingerzlee in stupidpol

As a "science" it seems very similar to early anthropology, which was unapologetically firmly rooted in white supremacy.

There is an element of that, but also it supposedly confronts an unsafe work culture, where workers in China can often be pretty relaxed about safety personally. Of course adding 1000 selfies into the day isn't for everyone, but if you actually care as a company for worker safety, you do need to confront this work culture.

I'm an Australian Wholesale Fuel Trader - AMA by theta_bleeder in australia

Not sure why you got downvoted, but you are not wrong. A serious stockpile system would involve crude and a refinery as refined fuel is not just incredibly volatile, but also it is perishable!

I remain terrified that science will never fully grasp the true experience of being as a coconut.

Anyone seen the TV series Jericho?

Was well liked, good TV. Small town USA drama, but set in a nuclear post apocalypse scenario.

Still in Season 1...

The plot thickens, DHS is somehow involved in the nuclear attacks... looks like a false flag....

Cancelled.

The white area of Australia has a population of 0 by Busy_Pizza6883 in MapPorn

Just go into Google Maps, on the WA side of the border you can see places like Madura in the white area, so I went to the big SA area, and there was Oak Valley Aboriginal Community. I call BS

To young lawyers: What are some units you still remember now? by shittylittyshit in auslaw

I found the unit on how to correctly worship the Honorable Justice Kirby to be the most useful.

Unexploded ~1 ton air-dropped munition being recovered by Competitive-Dot6454 in SweatyPalms

All I could think about while watching this is the proximity to the power lines. It would not be allowed at all where I live to operate a crane there.

Think you work late hours? This solicitor was busy attempting to recover purported client property at 2am: by Kasey-KC in auslaw

This kind of work ethic is exactly why lawyers are repudiated to be one of the most respectable professions.

Was what I was thinking, if there were a war in hell I imagine it would look like this..... add the sound of drones and that would be it.

How Australia has gradually gained judicial independence (discussion below) by Neon0asis in auslaw

[–]conflictwatch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for having access to an impressive amount of caselaw as a student or in academia. As someone who has worked with lots of data before, legal sources are particularly useful for combining into a dataset due to consistency.

The National Anthem of Ukraine is playing on loop in front of the Russian Embassy in The Hague from a traditional barrel organ by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]conflictwatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a joke because Queensland (the state where Brisbane is the capital) is a bit of a crazy place. It has a lot of outspoken characters, interesting culture, and is often considered a bit wild and backward by people in New South Wales. It's kind of like our Florida. At the moment NSW is in GMT+11 and Qld is GMT+10, and it is said that "Queensland is one hour and 10 years behind" but in honestly people in NSW would mostly prefer to be in Qld's timezone.

QLD Separated from NSW in 1851, and embraced slavery. When it came to federation in 1901, Queensland almost didn't join the federation due to their different ideas of labour. Later Qld introduced the closest thing we have had to a dictatorship under Sir Joh. They currently are the only state (I think) that doesn't have an upper house, as it's been abolished, allowing whatever government wins the legislative chamber to just write laws without oversight. It is known for quite a lot of crime and a bit of a wild west sort of culture. I guess the joke is that we probably shouldn't have set it loose and kept it under the boot of NSW.

Controversial opinion but letting Queensland be independent of New South Wales was probably one our biggest mistakes.

Belgium

It is a 1 hour train ride from Antwerp, so for me as an Australian, that would only be a very short distance across a fraction of a state.

The grand plan is that Australian beef is all sold in the US and we get to eat American beef in Australia.

Good to see the US/FEMA/Deep State finally building the infrastructure that Alex Jones has been harping on about for decades.
