I'm an older Gex X guy, so ignore me but im just like wtf even is this ?
Taking all of this at face value, I would suggest being more honest though, saves this pain longer term. I have never asked a woman how much dick she has taken, why is that even a question ? And who cares ? That said, I am not in the know but I expect like a Chef etc, a decent amount of experience makes you better.
As to guys giving you money and then sending dick pics... so what ?
Well, yes.. They have been for decades, it's why we're in this mess, fuck voters :)

The second coral bleaching event in as many years is a major threat to the reef, and a wildcard for the major parties battling to win the Leichardt electorate.

Not sure what the thing is with the federal LNP seat? Qld just voted in a majority LNP state Government and kicked the few Greens that were in parliament, safe to say they don't really give a care about the reef, to be fair that's the same as most of Australia and much of the world.
Ironically the new QLD LNP government has been dealing non stop with climate change enhanced disasters since they came to power, Leopards literally eating voters faces I guess ?
The Great Barrier Reef is suffering its second bleaching event in as many years, with the marine park authority reporting corals in distress due to an underwater heatwave stretching 1300 kilometres from Townsville to Cooktown.
Mass coral bleaching has occurred on the Great Barrier Reef in 1998, 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024 and now 2025
Sobering to remember the first every recorded mass bleaching was only back in 1998, nothing before that, voters literately mak

Same here in Australia though, im an older, white Gen X cis guy. Boomers and Gen x have no issues with assuming I am the same sort of asshole they are; racist, super conservative, religious, anti the enviorment etc and will tell me with glee.
No, Lemmy is the software. How can software be "communist"? How does it own the means of production" ? Seems an odd question.
You can have instances that are run by folks that have a communist bent (thank goodess for that) or instances run by all sorts of folks and instances federate and talk to each other (and can be blocked) but that's a separate thing.
It's beyond bemusing these bellends say this with a straight face, it's Trump level shitfuckery. Nearly every Liberal Government is a minority.
So, just another reason to legalise them instead, available fron taxed, regulated and reputable apothecaries, like just about every expert says and treat addiction as a health issue. No need to spy on my dik pics.
Liberals in the US make up about 15% of the prepping scene and their numbers are growing. Their fears differ from their better-known rightwing counterparts ā as do their methods
Some of my classmates had activated their cameras. I scrolled through the little windows, noting the alarmed faces, downcast in cold laptop light. There were dozens of us on the call, including a geophysicist, an actor, a retired financial adviser and a civil engineer. We all looked worried, and rightly so. The issue formerly known as climate change was now a polycrisis called climate collapse. H1N1 was busily jumping from birds to cows to people. And with each passing day, as Donald Trump went about gleefully dismantling state capacity, the promise of a competent government response to the next hurricane, wildfire, flood, pandemic, drought, mudslide, heatwave, financial meltdown, hailstorm or other calamity receded further from view.
I still find it staggering and heart-rending that we blew this so badly,ā
I can only agree with that

āHow dare the US attack the UKās free speechā: Independent readers call out trade deal demands
Its alwys thus, freeze oeach for me not thee. It's just "right wing woke" (shortened to wank) for hate speech.
Indeed and the US had lumped in nations who they would have previously called friends and fucked them as well.
Short term lots of nations will feel some.pain, longher term of China plays it's cards right, the US continues it's slide into irrelevance.
As an Australian i hope we pivot to Europe and build stronger relationships there but we have a long tradition of our tongue being stuck firmly up the arsehole of the US.
Surely deporting anti-vaxxers to El Salvador would be a good thing ?

Hopefully they mock Australia as well and deservedly so, our rail system is laughable
Austraia and the UK have similar laws to allow border police to search your electronic devices. In Australia they can clone your phone and keep a copy for as long as they want.
What's bemusing to me is to read some local Aussie posters saying how fascist America has become, when Australia does the same and has for over a decade.
āShock to the systemā: farmers hit by Trumpās tariffs and cuts say they need another bailout | Trump administration | The Guardian
With extreme weather and Trumpās looming trade war, US farmers are reeling and resigned to needing more cash help
Farmers across the United States say they could face financial ruin ā unless there is a huge taxpayer-funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Donald Trumpās sweeping cuts and chaotic tariffs.
Need that sweet, sweet socalism. Last time Trump chipped in some few billion tax dollars to help out the "welfare queen" farmers, I assume they think he will again as they go cap in hand amd tug thier forelock to m'lord ?

pools and waterways are parched, leaving freshwater fish stranded and dead.
Luke Price, an ecologist for the regional landscape body Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu, says āweāre definitely seeing local extinctions of small populations of fish that usually sought refuge in those poolsā.
Wattles and eucalypts, particularly messmate stringybarks, have been dying throughout the Adelaide Hills, while along coastal dunes and clifftops, shrubs like coast daisy bush and coast beard-heath are suffering.
Dr Stefan Caddy-Retalic, an ecologist at the University of Adelaide, says many tree species were showing signs of deterioration and stress such as dead limbs, excessive leaf scorching or sprouting new shoots from the base due to the āratchetingā effects of lower rainfall, higher temperatures and development that encroached on tree roots.
As the cityās climate continued to shift from warm mediterranean to semi-arid due to global heating, a lot of the introduced trees people associated with Adelaide ā like jacarandas, plane trees and oaks ā and some natives, such as grey box, will continue to struggle, he says, with potentially devastating consequences for the animals that rely on them for food and habitat
Rising temperatures could cause a surge in mental health disorders with young Australians most at risk - ABC News
Young Australians are most at risk, according to new research by the University of Adelaide.
Lead author Professor Peng Bi said the impact of climate change on mental health was āonly going to get worseā without action.
āFrom mild distress to serious conditions like schizophrenia, rising temperatures are making things harder for millions,ā he said.
High temperatures, according to the report, contributed to an annual loss of 8,459 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) between 2003 and 2018.
A new study led by a team at the University of Adelaideās School of Public Health has found the burden of mental and behavioural disorders could increase by almost 50 per cent by 2050.

Australian Conservation Foundation says opposition has āfailed every single testā while Labor passes with 54% and Greens achieve 98%

One of Australiaās largest conservation organisations has awarded the federal Coalition just one out of 100 for its environment and climate change policies ā the lowest score it has given the Liberal and National parties in more than 20 years of compiling pre-election scorecards.
Labor scraped through with a pass ā on 54% ā while the Greens achieved 98%, according to the scorecard, which ranked the major parties and key independents on their policies for protecting nature, championing renewable energy, and rejecting nuclear and fossil fuels.
As a Greens voter, I am bemused they scored that high, must be a low bar, which is scary considering how low the two main parties ranked.

That aside, while I realise this is polotocal there is a cross over to the enviorment but then so is everything I guess?
Up to the mod if they think it should be deleted.
Climate risk makes suburbs 'uninsurable'.

Mallon warns some Australian neighbourhoods could become what he calls āclimate ghettosā.
āThere are certain areas where you will start to see a negative spiral,ā he says.
One of the major obstacles preventing reform is that no-one is willing to admit thereās a problem, according to Mallon.
Shocked, I'm, shocked... Well, not that shocked.
He says because banks and insurance companies have exposure in these sub-prime climate markets, itās not in their interests to raise the alarm.
Vote for the same people, get the same outcomes ?
We're on the eve of destruction....

Indeed civilisations collapse.
Regardless, we need to, as we can't continue as we are ignoring the laws of nature but I'd rather we did it in a managed and equitable way i.e.
Instead we seem to have defaulted to the oligarchs and us peasants as a way to organise our society and voters will enable that to continue at the next election.
Not quite sure why people choose that but here we are.

More than a month later, at the time of writing, they remain shut without a date of reopening and the council is encouraging pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders to āconsiderā using another bridge more than 2km away by bike.
What a dick move :(

Spokesperson acknowledges supply of flyers, T-shirts and corflutes to ādozens of community groupsā seeking to defeat partys candidates
The rightwing advocacy group Advance has acknowledged it is paying for election materials attacking the Greens to be used by third-party groups during the election campaign.
The Advance spokesperson said: āOur campaign against the Greens wonāt defeat teals because it was never meant to. We have been crystal clear for the past 18 months that our focus is on the Greens this election.ā
Advance has also focused on the anti-renewables movement, appearing at āenergy forumsā across the country and events held by groups set up to oppose the rollout of offshore wind and solar energy.
What a bunch of truly shitty people :(
Guardian Australia is highlighting the plight of our endangered native species during an election campaign that is ignoring broken environment laws and rapidly declining ecosystems
The scale of habitat destruction in Queensland and New South Wales ā states in which the koala is formally recognised as being at risk of extinction ā has continued despite political promises it would be protected.
About three-quarters of the lost forest is estimated to have been cleared for agriculture, to create cattle pasture and crop fields. The analysis found 13% was removed by the forestry industry and 5% for development of infrastructure, including mining. Just 4% was likely due to natural causes, such as bushfire and drought.
Nearly all of the forest destruction occurred on a small scale that did not require consideration under federal environment law.

Feral deer destroying Tasmanian wetlands restoration project, as conservationists call for help
It's an absolute waste of taxpayer dollars if the Tasmanian government is going to pour grants into these grassroots bush regeneration projects but fails to tackle the invasive species that are trashing, tramping and degrading the parks in the first place," she said.
Scale of environmental damage attributed to huge number of dogs globally as well as ālax or uninformed behaviour of dog ownersā
.Pet dogs have āextensive and multifariousā impact on environment, new research finds
An Australian review of existing studies has argued that āthe environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognisedā.
The carbon footprint of pets is also significant. A 2020 study found the dry pet food industry had an environmental footprint of around twice the land area of the UK, with greenhouse gas emissions ā 56 to 151 Mt CO2 ā equivalent to the 60th highest-emitting country.
Let alone in Austrailia the enormous death rate from koalas from dogs.
Some of the countryās most loved native species, including the koala and the hairy-nosed wombat, are on the brink. Is this their last chance at survival?
Most parliamentarians might be surprised to learn it, but Australians care about nature.
What, no they don't!
Late last year, the not-for-profit Biodiversity Council commissioned a survey
Ahhh well that's about the extent of the caring then, telling somone over the phone.
I find these articles disturbing for their lack of honesty and insight.
Carbon emisions, Urban sprawl and cars etc solutions? Significant chanhes in lifestyles that won't be tolerated. Voters show us all the time they dont care about nature
Organisers say 150,000 joined protest in Madrid urging the government to āend the housing racketā and to demand access to affordable housing
I find this remarkable (and wonderfully recreshing) , in Australia we seemingly want to buy expensive housing to get on the grift.
As John Howard said, he was never approached by anyone about making housing more affordable, as well as Plibersek as Housing Minister in the Rudd government,.wbere before that election saying first home owners gramts where a bad idea as all they did was raise house prices, gets elected to government and increases the first home owners grant as her first task.
