  Have you ever been part of a truly diverse group of people who like to talk about their different cultures and backgrounds? It’s no place for xenophobes and bigots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I work with people from about 15 different countries and everyone asks everyone where they are from. I’m a white Australian and I have been asked where I am from numerous times. It is a perfectly fucking normal way of making conversation and plenty of people enjoy telling others about where they are from. This is really the woke bullshit tbat gives the left a bad name.

  So you’re supporting Mike Tyson the rapist.

  Make voluntary payments a tax deduction. If self education expenses are tax deductable then at least make some HECS payments deductable.

  Are ‘don’t walk on the grass’ signs speciesist? I feel like it’s unfair that the other animals are allowed and i’m not.

  Services do.exist, and it’s bold of Drag to assume these children aren’t already exposed to alcohol, cigarettes or other addictive drugs, this could even be happening in their home, along with violence and crime. It could even be part of abuse they experience at home.
  Abusive homes are inhumane, prison is inhumane, child separation is inhumane, forced rehab and therapy are inhumane. I’ve known a couple of car stealing 11 year olds and they just thought it was fun, they slso knew there would be no consequences, so why not?

  The instance structure conveniently groups people together and labels them. Stereotyping, bias and tribalism are the natural result.

  I use a firefox extension called uBlacklist. It blocks any site you hate from appearing in google search results. No more facebook, instagram, youtube, tiktok etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why limit immigration?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When i was a kid even poor people had a 3 bedroom house on a quarter acre block. I know someone who rents the balcony of a 2 bedroom flat and shares with 7 other people., all of them are migrants or international students. Oddly enough, i live in a house that was built in a backyard. A cheap, crappy new investment property made to capitalise on the housing crisis. We’ve had more than two dozen tradesmen visit in a couple of years so i wonder how that investment’s working out. This is not progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i will never understand scientific fraud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Power gives people the freedom to act as they choose, and they choose a lot of nastiness. Does it not make sense that unconstrained choices represent who a person truly is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a ‘just a job’ and to give you a different perspective: we are bored as fuck and many people survive by socialising. People make friends and start relationships there all the time. There’s a social club and other groups of friends that regularly see each other outside of work. It’s also shift work with regular overtime and weekend work so people can’t always easily socialise outside of their job.

  Personally, I think it was a mistake but I’m Australian and happy not to have American freedom of speech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good point⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’re too selfish and gutless to end the relationship. Slme people need monogamy and some need multiple partners, they should be honest aboit that and avoid having relationships with those who aren’t compatible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good point⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are monogamous and they are allowed to be in relationships that are satisfying and make them happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millionaire Investment Banker Jonathan Kaye caught punching, and breaking an unarmed woman's nose during Brooklyn Pride Festival⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inb4 “but it didn’t hurt, it’s just liquid”, that isn’t the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you?

  Kinda, yeah. It’s pretty funny when people throw milkshakes at politicians. Getting wet should not result in violence or police in my opinion, provided the liquid is harmless. It’s also somethimg that happens by accident very easily and people overreacting to that and getting violent is a bigger problem than a ruined shirt. Not that i throw liquid on people, i just think people need to calm down, it’s not an attempt on your life. I would certainly yell but throwing punches seems like an unnecessary escalation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millionaire Investment Banker Jonathan Kaye caught punching, and breaking an unarmed woman's nose during Brooklyn Pride Festival⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible you might be a violent type. I cannot imagine breaking someone’s nose over something that ‘obviously didn’t hurt’.
