I didn't want to be the one to say it... But yeah, I've known some downright scary lesbian women.

Yeah, republicans would hate to be accused of discrimination.

OMG I've witnessed so many abusive lesbian relationships. Women can be straight up psychos too, and are often a lot more calculated about it.

I definitely see this a lot. Any time someone complains about the unaffordability of life you get a swarm of people prying into their personal details desperately trying to figure out how that person's situation is their own fault.

jumping up and down on their own dicks

Bravo sir.

Nobody's suggesting it wasn't. But a lot of us have lived our whole lives with the idea that racism was generally frowned upon by most and that it was naturally dying out. I don't think many of us could have predicted how readily it would come roaring back, along with god damn nazis, FFS.

Sounds like what you're looking for is socialism, friend. It's still a scary word to many, many people, but mostly because they don't really understand what it means. But more and more people every day are finally realizing that capitalism is fucking almost all of us and needs to be stopped. Keep talking and educating, others AND yourself. It's going to take a while (possibly longer than we have as a society) to turn this behemoth, but it will only happen once enough people are on board.

Never forget. Never forgive.

I always say, I've literally never seen anyone get upset over hearing merry christmas, but I've witnessed plenty of people lose their shit over hearing happy holidays.

Why the fuck would anyone trust them? They've never existed in our world. To them, an economic downturn is when their returns might face a small reduction. The concept of literally starving to death is outside their comprehension. They have no idea that when they fuck with the markets, people die. And if they did, they likely wouldn't care.

It's time to overthrow the entire capitalist system. Come on somebody, be a leader. I'm too old!

Or just take it? We could call it Australia's Greenland.

Haha, saw the headline and came to argue something along those lines. It's our only hope at this point.

We have a federal election next month, with candidates that have a lot of similarities with the US situation last November. It's going to be a good indicator of what kind of country Australians want.

Depending on the US for anything is bad policy these days. I'd love to see the entire rest of the world collectively exclude them from the global economy. But of course the oligarchs won't allow that.

It's a very pretty confirmation of how fucked I already knew I am.

What an amazing headline. Why would the oligarchs fix the water system when the sellers of bottled water will pay them not to?

If you're going to link an article that requires a subscription or login, you should at least provide a summary.

3 times as fast as 100? I don't know what you're expecting here. It's 83.3 metres per second, if that helps. Your friend must have a nice car, there's not many that can go that fast, and even fewer that can do it and still handle predictably.

Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process

Fuck that. You can't negotiate with an unhinged imbecile who changes his mind depending on who was the last person who spoke to him. Every world leader who bows down to trump just makes him worse.
