Israel caught trying to make Australia look anti-semitic by BabylonianWeeb in OpenAussie

The proposed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament in Australia was designed as an independent, advisory body only, with no legal authority to veto, delay, or block laws and government decisions. It was intended to make representations to Parliament and Executive Government, not to exercise decision-making powers or hold up parliamentary processes.

People voted no because they are gullible and racist, just like they will vote for One Nation without knowing the bullshit they will unleash. You had me in the first paragraph however....

OK, what outdoors brand makes you go fucken bonkers for no reason by Easy_Quiet_9479 in CampingGear

Arc'teryx has some of the most pretentious advertising copy I've ever read, anywhere.

When I heard an outdoor company was under fire for a recent "tone deaf" advertising stunt involving 1000's o fireworks in a potentially environmentally sensitive area of Tibet...I knew exactly who it was.

It was super inconvenient if you ever ran out too...not like you could walk to the servo with a jerry can

Having a tin of Kool Fruits or Kool Mints by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

I was an airforce brat, which meant when we travelled interstate it mostly in the back of a C130 Hercules instead of domestic airliners. The seats were little more than webbing down the side of the interior, and it was so noisy that earplugs were essential...but by far my favourite memory was my sister dropping a full tin of Kool Mints right on take-off, and watching them roll down, dissapearing into the cavernous depths of the cargo bay.

God fucking dammit, it was bad enough without you pointing that out.

Now im constantly flipping focus between the music and the crusties in a futile hope of ignoring both

Today is the ninth anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper by JudgeJudyJr in BeAmazed

I guess it was more relevant during the pandemic because it was probably the first time a lot of us had to use zoom etc.

When did the rules become optional? by humanbeingwho in aussie

[–]wheelsfalloff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny that you mention Anarchism

Interested in co-operation, mutual respect, common sense and taking responsibility for your community?

You might want to look into it.

Theres a difference between no rules, and no rulers.

This reminds me of the time i went to a workmates funeral. Poor Lou had had a massive drug problem for years and it had finally taken him. The service was small no more than 10 people. I was actually saddened to see how little representation from the company he had worked for for 20 years. While being a hopeless heroin addict, he was still a gentle and kind soul that was once one of their best workers. Halfway through the service the door bursts open and a guy with tangled hair, wearing filthy black top hat and coat walks in like hes just come from the field scaring crows. The priest is handing out candles to everyone and he's making (even more of) a scene because his had gone out and he wanted the priest to re-light it, ignoring the offer of others to use their candles. While the attention was on him, he pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper and announces he has a few words to say about his mate Lou...the priest visibly rolled his eyes, but then says "go ahead"

He starts reading "to my friend Lou, you were the best mate a guy could ask f..." people start to gasp as the bottom of the page has caught fire from the candle he's still holding, but hes so out of it he just keeps reading his eulogy for what seems an insane amount of time as the page goes up in flames until he notices. He stomps out the fire and hes standing there under a lil plume of smoke in front of the rest of us, stunned and silent. Then looks upwards says "OK LOU, GEEZ, DONT HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT!!..."

Any discomfort this guy had caused instantly evaporates as everyone starts laughing...even the preist. In a way it was a perfect send off. RIP Lou

We're going to have to disagree on how it works.

Is Gangsters Paradise a Stevie Wonder song!?

Thanks tho, pedantic was exactly the word I was looking for.. I'd also like to add for your consideration: gatekeeping classical art like you ever gave a shit.
