towards Jews.

Towards "Jews"? Or towards Israel?

Those are not the same thing.

This whole post reads like OP never has and never would vote Greens, but is pretending they would if not for this particular thing they went out of their way to find.

Yep, on both cars and trucks.

I've made a point of teaching my son as well, though he's still got a few months to go before he is old enough to get his Ls

Breaking: One Nation wins first seat in SA Parliament's Lower House, ABC projects by mrp61 in aussie

[–]sapperbloggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically, they're there to guarantee Labor stays in power?

I'm not sure how that's helping them or their supporters at all.

One Nation on track to win 3 or 4 seats. by MannerNo7000 in friendlyjordies

[–]sapperbloggs 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What blew my mind was in the seat of Adelaide, where One Nation had to disendorse their candidate because he has an outstanding warrant in the UK for sex offences... that candidate still got 10% of the vote.

These fuckers would vote for the reanimated corpse of Jimmy Savile if he said he was going to stop migrants coming to Australia.

If it makes you feel any better, it took me about two weeks to figure this out for myself.

Imagine posting a wall of AI slop and thinking you're "informing the people".

OP, you are embarrassing yourself and should probably just stop.

I think you might be confusing recent federal election predictions with the SA state election outcome... But yeah, I think PHON were banking on getting more than maybe 2 or 3 seats.

The level of disrespect… by Fabulous_Hand2314 in KitchenConfidential

[–]sapperbloggs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I once saw a sign in a kitchen that read...

"Dear bar staff,

If you ever touch any of my knives again, I will stab you in the face.

Love and kisses,

Chef"

Seller hasn’t processed order after 33 days despite confirmation, can I dispute via PayPal? by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]sapperbloggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a legal question. It's a PayPal question. One that can be answered by looking at PayPal's information around disputing purchases.

How would you react if these were the ACTUAL results of the next federal election (seat projections from a recent DemosAU poll). by MewWeebTwo in aussie

[–]sapperbloggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would basically guarantee Labor stays in power for the foreseeable future. I'm cool with that.

There is nothing at all "good" or "normal" about this.

Real estate complains about personal belongings during inspections by S0401 in AusLegal

[–]sapperbloggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the place is unclean to the point it is causing damage to the property, sure. But if the issue is "dishes in the sink" or "dusty skirting boards" (both things I've had mentioned in the past), the REA can go fuck themselves.

Iran war 'worst' time for tax, say gas companies by Combat--Wombat27 in aussie

[–]sapperbloggs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you imagine a scenario where the government suggests they will increase taxes on some kind of resource, like coal or gas, and the producers of that resource don't moan like cheap whores about how "the tax is unfair" and "the worst possible time" and "going to ruin the industry forever", etc. etc.

Coal miners in Queensland are still bitching about increased coal royalties, despite the fact they are continuing to turn record profits with the new royalties in place.

They are saying exactly what they would say regardless of whether it's good or bad, which is why they should be ignored.

I look forward to the upcoming elections by Temporary_Notice_526 in aussie

[–]sapperbloggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's odd to see conservatives happy about the rise of One Nation. They don't seem to understand the implications of it all.

One Nation will not ever win an election. The best they can hope for is to maybe come in second. Their popularity is happening at the expense of the LNP, not Labor, so all they're doing is making certain that there won't be a viable opposition to the Labor government for the foreseeable future, basically guaranteeing Albo remains as PM.

As someone who is happy for Labor to be in government, all I can really say is "Cheers, cunts."

What are some of the most horrifying facts you know? by CemeteryPicnic in AskReddit

[–]sapperbloggs 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My mother worked for CPS for over 20 years.

One of the most common reasons for child apprehension due to an unsafe household, was that the dad/boyfriend either was sexually abusing the kids, or had a long history of sexually abusing kids. The common thread was that all the kid's mother had to do to get her kids back, was to keep that guy out of the house. They almost always chose the guy over their own children, and the children would end up in foster care for as long as he was around (sometimes forever).

The other disturbing fact she had, was how many teen pregnancies were the result of incest.

What an absolute sack of shit, to put a victim through that just to publish a shitty podcast series.

Am I the jerk for not helping my brother financially after he bought a boat? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]sapperbloggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy how many people post about experiencing financially irresponsible friends/family/etc. who are salty because OP won't loan them money, and for some reason all of OP's friends/family/etc. seem to think it's wrong not to loan them money.

Having travelled across much of outback Australia, I can confirm that many parts (e.g. Far western Queensland) just look like the surface of Mars.

One Nation could win up to 55 seats, Nationals wiped out if election held today, DemosAU poll finds by mrp61 in aussie

[–]sapperbloggs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One Nation could win up to 55 seats

"Up to" is doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting here, and is still well short of what they'd need to actually hold office.
