- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
It’s not about ethics, it never was. It’s about CONTROL.

I found that one hard to advance.
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 6 months ago:
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.

As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.

I came here looking to see if my point had already been made. Thanks!
- Comment on The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns 1 year ago:
Regrettably, politican parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.
“Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register”

Well actshually… Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.
