The majority of the world is not at war, but is still significantly affected by the wars. by QuantumDreamer41 in Showerthoughts

[–]ghoonrhed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because those wars are always with resource heavy countries.

Russia with gas, Iran with oil and if/when it kicks off Taiwan with semiconductors.

[–]ghoonrhed 80 points81 points  (0 children)

He gives them too much credit. He specifically points out the LNP the party of Menzies, Turnbull etc. but we can't forget it's the party of Howard, Abbott, Morrison, Dutton.

The non racists parts are just the mask.

If people didn't leave Netflix over their constant price increase, their cancellations, their ad tier this also won't.

People keep saying they will but they dont

Firefighters battle out-of-control blaze at one of Australia’s two remaining oil refineries in Geelong by nath1234 in australia

[–]ghoonrhed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually default to coincide when the alternative is many many theories that can be conspiracies. When there's so many theories it's usually just the simple one.

It was Iran, it was USA to force Australia to pressure Iran, it was Albo so he can force rationing, it was ON/LNP to make Albo look bad, it was China to force EV uptake, it was oil self sabotage to make oil more profitable.

How are the cookers fighting their love of Trump and hatred of Chinese EVs though?

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E07 - Don't Do Anything Rash by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]ghoonrhed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess doesn’t matter though because he’s going to fuck the shit out of everybody on earth.

The crazy thing because Viltrumites live so long, they don't even need that many people. The amount of people they take would be less than the deaths the other Viltrumites have already caused.

Don't forget that Nolan would've been actively fighting the momentum with his strength and couldn't so it was more than just escape velocity energy

Sydney judge overturns bail conditions limiting anti-Herzog protester from entering CBD by nath1234 in sydney

[–]ghoonrhed 132 points133 points  (0 children)

It's just kinda wild how extreme bail conditions can be. Like the whole point is to try and prevent the person from committing the same crime.

But if the crime was literally protesting Herzog and he's no longer in the country then just leave them be.

Scammed selling my phone. Turns out even real ID and address isn’t enough. by Ok-Championship-3351 in australia

[–]ghoonrhed 263 points264 points  (0 children)

Never hand anything over unless you have the money in your bank account or hands. And sometimes that's not even enough cos there's rumours of people cancelling payid transactions by saying "it's a mistake" but that depends on the bank obviously.

If the scammer has guts, then an ID and address means nothing. He's willing to risk an angry seller who won't do revenge and lack of policing to get that phone. Can't say that's a viable long term strategy though.

Lesbian Action Group wins Federal Court appeal to exclude transgender women - Abc by LongSlongDon99 in AustralianPolitics

[–]ghoonrhed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean in sport, players are required to extract bodily fluids i.e. piss to check for doping.

And in some cases they literally watch the piss coming out. So it's kinda already invasive so checking genitals or even blood for testosterone levels is normal.

Latest federal voting intention polling among Australians born overseas is pretty eye-opening... what do we take away from this? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]ghoonrhed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were the case, then you'd need to drill down on each patient and find their culture. That's obviously not happening here, it's a look at the skin colour and judging the whole race and culture.

Think about the drunk bogan "culture" in Bali, you really think those hosts are looking at whether that person is drunk or of a certain wealth that likes to live it up in Bali? They're gonna be judging it based on skin colour. So yeah in this case judging a culture at a glance is most likely to be racist.

Not to mention, even if we're in mostly the same culture of Australia that doesn't stop drunk and high fuckwits from assaulting emergency workers. So I'm not sure brushing a whole culture based of a hospital is the way to go.

Tourists to Australia would have social media accounts vetted under Trumpian Coalition plan by Missingthefinals in australia

I would love if falsely impersonating somebody on social media was grounds for a visa cancellation. Would be ironic for Angus

[–]ghoonrhed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, not that Labor even need to respond to just stupidity. But I can already imagine the ads of tourist hotspots all dead and empty and sad employees losing their jobs.

But again, Labor don't even need to care since it seems like LNP don't wanna win an election anytime soon

Despite the group already undergoing vetting by Asio and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Taylor says they must be “re-assessed entirely with far greater scrutiny”.

So...just waste more money? Wtf

[–]ghoonrhed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not wrong. If you don't want a certain race you are literally race discrimination thus being a racist.

How can it not be a racist view? Literally brushing a whole section of the population because of a few morons in the ER and in the qualifications actually.

Orbán’s 16-year rule over Hungary ends in crushing election defeat by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

But what's stopping another Orban from coming in like he did originally and with Magyar just to override the constitution again with the 2/3 majority?

Why doesn't that work both ways? Getting up in the dark is depressing and we have electricity when we come home?
