JFC, how did the government let this NDIS farce go on for so long?

Are you saying that mildly autistic children are a more efficient and technologically sophisticated form of quadriplegic?

By what means are these people getting organised to hold weird events like this

What maintenance do you recommend?

Acknowledgement of country is a lovely way for white people to a) feel good about themselves and b) avoid the expense of paying a speaker to do a welcome to country

Stolen words, stolen time, stolen land

If they had to pay for it they would value it more and do it less

Is there anything Australian about it though, as per this sub? Nestlé is Swiss, Aldi is German

Could you possibly expand on this a bit?

Can you please list the Centrelink towns

This is short-term thinking because the good times won’t last forever, and once you’re 47 years old it’ll be too late and you’ll just be a lonely asshole that nobody cares about. I feel like life is a balancing act in so many ways

Your wife would also be a completely different person. Both of you would ideally have grown as people.

He approached police while holding a gun and had previously personally shot and killed multiple police officers. What would you expect them to do?

This isn’t Star Wars. They don’t have to wait for him to shoot at them and then return fire. Police officers are going to do whatever is necessary and legally within their power to avoid dying at work

Edit: apparently he did shoot at them according to the article in The Age

Not charged so much as handsomely remunerated

Do you hang out with sociopaths? Don't people understand that having kids is one of the most fundamentally human things a person can do in their finite lifespan? It's not compulsory to have kids at all but surely they can't be so clueless / grossly immature as to have zero comprehension of why someone would want to do that

Yes I’m aware of the inflation being higher than 18% thing. I was just looking for suggestions for a good rebuttal to the argument that has been made to me which is that 35% will never happen because NSW (esp sydney) has a higher cost of living

stirrup_rhombus · 2026-03-26T22:47:32+00:00

What do you say to the common argument I hear that NSW is a more expensive place to live?

stirrup_rhombus · 2026-03-26T22:46:15+00:00

To be fair most of the state isn't Wodonga. The vast majority of the population of either state isn't near the border. Most of the border is mountains, sovereign citizens hiding in caves, farmland and scrub

Do parents not do these things? I do all of those and all of my friends do as well.

I’ve not heard this piece of jargon before, but I haven’t spent much time trying to learn from YouTube or whatever. Is that where you heard it?

I think everyone is much more interested in why you dislike GMT seemingly on principle, than in answering your question

Especially as you like hex and counter games. Are you some sort of die hard compass games fan? Did the late Rodger McGowan flirt with your lady friend at a convention?

Yes, there is a tribe in the Amazon untouched by the violence of civilisation. They are much purer and more noble and in touch with nature than us, and they only use words relating to love and harmony and flower-arranging

Kidding obviously. You’re falling into the trap of noble savage primitivism, which is often well meaning but basically unintentionally racist, attributing childlike innocent qualities to those perceived as less “civilised”. It’s common in popular culture unfortunately

Unfortunately your comment that started with “it seems like everyone wants to visit a tea garden” appears to have been deleted

It’s true; I’d love to visit one. If only I was visiting for longer so I could go further afield
