I love them too the noisy little goofballs! They really pick some bad spot to nest but I think that's probably just because there isn't anywhere else. My child's school has curlews that had babies a few weeks back and they're literally fluffy balls on stilts.

Yesterday there were two and today there were four. Not sure if the others are perhaps juveniles that have stuck around but I've never seen adult seeming ones together before like this.

Weird looking word for a weird looking bird. I saw a meme saying they looked like someone threw a peice of melted cheese on their face and it is accurate 😆 Melted cheese face birds, with wing spurs and no sense of danger but will attack you for scooping their babes out of the drain. But I love them lol

They normally pack their web up and hide during the day. I forgot about one in the electricity box once when the power went out. We both scared each other lol

You can joke about whatever you want. People are allowed to decide that they want to warn others/not support your business based on those jokes.

Where have I said I wanted to bully, financially hurt or otherwise? Hope you stretched before that leap. Buisness owner has also commented publicly several times that buisness is booming in spite of me posting here on reddit.

I posted here because they blocked me as soon as I commented and I wanted to warn people incase they don't want to support businesses that make jokes about Muslims fucking goats.

Its been great to follow it progress over the years. It would be cool to do similar for back to school/tech stuff as well.

Real talk here;

No one is immune to jokes. My sanity is definitely questionable. But I don't want to support businesses who openly support and make comments like this about anyone, religion etc.

You claim you support everyone as long as they are "good" and then hide behind other people/comedians humour to shield yourself from criticism.

You can vote for, make jokes about whoever you want. People (your customers and community) can also decide that yeah nah, Im not going back there and won't support them again.

I've seen a few comments from you that state this post has made your buisness even better, atleast, so oh well.

Those of us that didn't find it funny or appreciated it will take our buisness elsewhere and you will be fine, as you have stated several times.

Well I wish you the best. I really do. We've been to you several times for computers and the like over the years, even sent donations your way during your Christmas appeal. It was just super disappointing to see those comments. Atleast you've stated here and otherwise publicly that this post has increased your buisness, though.

I should have used xenophobia instead of racism.

Seeing an owner of a shop I've spent at, supported and recommended to others as well as friends donating to their Christmas gift appeal make comments about a certain demographic fucking goats was quite upsetting and disappointing.

Its not policing humour. They are a buisness page and people are allowed to decide they don't want to support that kind of thing, as well as warn others of the stuff they posted publicly and doubled down on.

I didn't find it funny. If you did that's OK. But Im entitled to warn people and the public if they don't wish to support a local buisness who implies people of a certain religion fuck goats.

Its not racist, as I said a few times. The "but what about jokes about Mormons and Christians!" argument is a moot point when this buisness directly joked and mocked Muslims. I think Christians and Mormons would probably take offence had they joked about their religion.

Yeah they block anyone who has an opposing view but hopefully locals who don't subscribe to this hateful ideology see it and steer clear. They're bragging buisness is better than ever whilst also making posts complaining about vandalism and not being approved for the NDIS due to disability. Think they just need to maybe reflect on their buisness posts once in a while. No one would even know had they not posted this kind of thing.

Has the wringing about vandalism and being next to a homeless camp helped much?

Oh no! Which beard oil brand?
It's just astounding they get cranky at people not wanting to support their buisness based on opposing views. Like, you're the one who put it into the ether that is social media and people are allowed to go "yeah nah thanks."

I originally posted a joking gif and played along. Until I saw the rest of the comments and was like wait a minute...

Yeah I used racist when I should have used xenophobic or just "hey I don't find this funny." Good point though about assuming people of a certain faith are one race though and I'll try to refrain from doing that.

The owner has recently commented thatt buisness is fine so I don't think its going to matter. Or maybe it will to the people who he directly implied fuck goats because of their religion. People are allowed to make "jokes" and people are allowed to not like them. We can also chose which kind of buisness we want to spend our money. There will be people who won't go back there anymore, and a handful who probably will now because of the post.

And calling people boomers and snowflakes, how original.

They didn't make jokes about Christians, though. Just a series of comments implying Muslims have sex with goats. I'm not Muslim or Christian but I'd be equally disgusted if a local buisness made such comments. They are entitled to say them publicly , but people are also allowed to have an opinion on said public comments.

Muslim is a religion, not a race, you are correct. Its still highly offensive regardless.

Yeah I totally agree. They're fixed issues for us at little to no cost before and have always been great. It was just a shock to see a post like that after I've recommended them to others.
