  If you’re making vows at a wedding ceremony that you feel you can just nope out on if shit hits the fan, why are you getting married? What is the point?

  I agree. The wedding shouldn’t change how you feel about the other person because you should already be 100% dedicated if you’re thinking of getting married

  And get married at 23, plan life of kids and whatever. Car accident a year later and she/he is a quadruped. What you’re describing isnt love, or devetion, it’s indentured servitude. If you truly love the other peraon you’d want them to leave.

  But it’s why I never plan on being married who the fucks knows what will happen tomorrow, let alone a decade down the road.

  Im 59, my parter (f 56) and I have had that discussion, she insists she’ll stay and take care of me if it happened and I said that will make me even more miserable and more depressed and I’d want her to leave.

  I cant even wrap my head around how selfish.amd self absorned you’d have to be to insists someone take care of you for decades of you were bedridden or even house bound etc

  These will never be used in anger in Australia, they will never be used for national defence. Anyone with supply lines long enough to land actual forces in Australia won’t have an issue with these, we also have zero militia and would be overwhelmed in weeks. Our best defence is hostile terrain, and vast land mass. When they find Dezi Freeman they should give him a job to train volunteer militia forces.

  We have near zero logistial base (munitions and the ability to move it) eg Ukraine would have lost long ago if not for its trains. We have roads you can’t move an Abrahams down and a wet season that makes much of the north of the nation impassable.

  Theres no looking to Ukraine, we’re at the arse end of the world, we don’t have a border you can amass forces at and walk across. The only countries with conventional resources and forces big enough to do anything significant are China and the US. We can do zero against either. The only other nation is perhaps Indonesia and they don’t have the logistics.

  I’d suggest rhe US is the greater danger but they’re already here with bases and we do as they tell us, so they have no need.

  These are perfomative, used for training in Aus and perhaps deployment overseas to support the US invading wherever it wants.

  I assume they assume the child would be put up for adoption or put in state care to also be raped at 11 when she comes of age.:(

  But to be fair conservatives really don’t give a ahit after they have been birthed, so who knows ?

  The whole things fucked up. I have to go take a shower now

  Some.years ago when he was first.elected , I had assumed the Green candidate was a shoo in, she had a PhD.in science amongst other things and was eloquent.

  Hastie shoots people and is a young earth creationist. Perfwct fir the Libs I guess?

  Never have I been so appaled at an electorate (well… Howard, Dutton etal … but still)

  I suspect he’ll be the LNP leader one day and PM He keeps getting. re- elected on a bigger and bigger majority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon asks out a friend⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While even GenX had its fair share of these, the one thing I have seen in younger generations is an explosive increase in “Beta Orbiters”.

  Same here, however for me that’s not a critique or criticism (I’m older Gen X) just an observation of a change in behaviour.

  Like the astonishing “rise” in trans people. Once again, not a critisism, just an observation.

  These young men need to learn how to shut metaphorical doors and ignore the women who have no interest in reciprocating and who will only string them along as “useful dancing monkeys”.

  But it’s not just an m/f thing. I see the same thing with grifter men doing the same thing. I assume it’s some sort of peer thing with the ability of social media allowing easier contact?

  That said it’s not a lot different to religion, so perhaps a thing in most humans ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea but thought I’d throw out that, as a 58yr old cis white guy I’ve never been lonely in my life, i have literally no idea what that’s like and don’t get involved in hypotheses about it all because I have nothing to bring to the debate. I do find human behaviour interesting (and mostly bizzare) though.

  The more time I spend with people the more I crave being alone but that’s a different thing.

  I now live on the edge of a tiny village in the middle of no where Australia and lived in a small cottage off grid in the bush for 10 years previously bit alos loved in an apartment in the sky in a largish city.

  One thing I noticed, I found the car free existence ina city bought me into contact with people all the time, even walking you’d see people people and say hello. Stop at a crossing and have a small conversation occasionally etc. i even said hello to women and was never called a pervert ;)

  Yeah know over the years I have gone from let the idiots be idiots

  The problem is they take over the world, they end up in the positions of power etc. How to contain that, short of derision I’m not sure and even derision often doesnt work, some wear their stupidity as a badge of achievement!

  It’s only because of their stupidity that they’re able to be so sure of themselves.” - Franz Kafka

  The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russell
