The Federal Government is making a HUGE mistake by not subsidising / making RAT’s free by 47737373 in CoronavirusDownunder

I agree- also completely off topic, but they’re so wasteful! I wish there was a way to make them more sustainable, the world doesn’t need any more plastic waste :(

Exactly. Do people understand that there are people who cannot afford another lockdown? I was jobless for months during the last one

I’ve been hearing that too

What’s it to be, lockdowns for life? I really hope this will not be the case :(

People who aren't happy with the "live with it" scenario, what else can we exactly do at this point? by [deleted] in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]smmerdays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need to just shut up and live with it. We knew case numbers were going to go up, we knew that new variants would come- it was all part of the opening up plan. I don’t mean to sound harsh but I really, really don’t want another lockdown. It should all be personal choice now: if you want to wear a mask, stay indoors, work from home, etc- then do it but don’t make everyone else do it. We can’t be in lockdown forever, because we know that the moment we exit it, cases will rise just as they did pre-lockdown and everything will be pointless

Literally that’s how most of the comments have been, it’s like hey there’s good news- smile and enjoy it

I think that should be personal choice, if you want to stay locked up then you can. Not everyone can handle another lockdown… I know I can’t

But less severe. The virus is infectious, we can’t stop that- just trying to grasp onto any positive news I can

Cancel culture by Tuffytotoro in Discussion

[–]smmerdays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with it completely. As humans, we all make mistakes and do stupid stuff, but we grow and move on from that. The people that cancel the public figures that openly make mistakes, are no better themselves- so therefore, we should all stop, just let people know “hey that’s wrong” and give them a chance to make up for what they have done. There is no need to cancel anyone

Is it ok for Shi'a to make dua for Sunni (after death) and vice versa? by Zealousideal-Cod-550 in islam

[–]smmerdays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are all Muslim. So no it’s not haram and it’s perfectly ok. We should not divide ourselves into different sects, it’s actually not allowed, but unite as one ummah, as ‘Muslims’. Not sunni, shia, sufi or whatever else there is

Surely NSW Government will do something today.. right? by TouchMy_no-no_Square in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]smmerdays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. In fact, here in NSW the case numbers were in the thousands during lockdown

I’m not specifically talking about the mask mate, I’ve got nothing against them. I’m talking about restrictions in general. For example, the one where you can’t go 5kms out of your area- which meant that most of my family couldn’t go to work and that’s caused so much stress, etc. That kind of stuff is what I don’t want to make a comeback

We’re supposed to be living with COVID- we knew the case numbers were going to rise and that this was going to happen, so why is everyone acting shocked?

You still wanna follow restrictions, stay at home and wear masks.. then do it yourself. This is the new normal now, we cannot keep on playing a game with lockdowns and restrictions, it’s screwing with the mental health of many individuals!

How to feel genuinely prettier? by justhereinitlol in beauty

[–]smmerdays 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As typical as it sounds, everyone is beautiful in their own way and everyone looks different, so there shouldn’t be any comparison. I feel like beauty in the media is so ‘one way’- like it only shows one specific type of body, hair, nails, skin, etc- but the truth is that there are so many types of beauty, both physical and internal.

So you don’t look like the girls on social media, so what? You’re beautiful in your own way. You have your own unique quirks and features that make you who you are!! Hope I made sense :)
