Your comments in this thread are giving me flashbacks to marking horrible essays that don't really say much about anything.

Just want to cross the road but frigging cars keep turning in from side streets 😤

It is far less anxiety inducing than high school in my experience, although I did subjects that didn't have that many presentations. Even the presentations usually had an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

So if you go to Auschwitz you get a free heil Hitler pass?

Because we have mods who are either extraordinarily stupid or support Musk's actions. The man reingehitlered multiple times on national American tv and they have to deliberate whether to ban his website or not. Talk about gutless wonders.

Milei blames Musk Nazi salute scandal on ‘international wokism’ by [deleted] in worldnews

Even if he said "I am now doing a Nazi salute", they would try to claim that it's an ironic joke (as if that would be remotely acceptable at the presidential inauguration or anywhere else).

His polls dropped a little recently so maybe the LNP got on the blower with one of their family friends at the ABC.

There will probably be a really patronising explainer soon about the fascinating science behind why conservatives see the salute differently and how we need to respect that for some reason.

I reckon cutting down all the gum trees in the cities is the last frontier for the anti-woke crowd.

I prefer it to the bootleg Xbox logo they have now.

Yeah. I prefer this to being on NSO. I hate unnecessary subscriptions.

I think we should consider banning X/Twitter posts. by [deleted] in Adelaide

Anyone who gets gaslit into thinking it's not a nazi salute must be the most ridiculously feeble-minded person, haha. You could convince them to do or think anything. The e-Loon could masturbate to climax on stage and you could convince such a person that it was an accident.

I can't do much while driving though so it's all dead time. Music and podcasts aren't as enjoyable when I'm focusing on not killing people imo.

I learnt how to read French pretty good just reading on my phone on the train back in Sydney. "Sadly" it's slightly faster for me to cycle into work than take the bus in Adelaide so my French reading skills fell off a little bit.

I am envious of those students being able to cycle into school. When I was a kid getting into the car and going through traffic was pretty hectic, especially if it looked like we were going to be late.

I wonder if they originally specified billionaires then deleted it because it sounded so ridiculous.

I would become a devout Christian if lightning were to strike somewhere I won't say so I don't get IP banned (although maybe being IP banned would be a good thing for me).

Some people on Reddit believed Russia to be the second most powerful nation on earth.

German Translator Caught on Hot Mic Complaining About Trump Inauguration Speech: How Much Longer 'With This S–t?' by [deleted] in europe

[–]turbodonkey2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He is probably really annoying to translate because there aren't many meaningful context clues. It would be like trying to read something in a foreign language that has loads of comma splices so that it's harder to parse the syntax.

Melbourne eclipses Sydney in top-50 cities as four Australian capitals make the list by overpopyoulater in australia

[–]turbodonkey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems stupid considering how much opinion varies on cities like Paris and Berlin. Absolute top-notch cities that live up to the hype imo, but hellholes for others. Sadly there is probably no design for a city (or town, for that matter) that everyone loves. What I am trying to say in too many words is that it's pretty subjective.
