  I was thinking a social media app without Americans sounds wonderful.

  Small sample size. Hard to draw conclusions. Let’s end our disagreement here. All the best

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen denies twice setting wire traps on bike path despite alleged video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that putting people in prison often puts them on a worse path in life. But I think that is true for all crimes. What I disagree with is you trivialising this particular crime saying it’s unlikely to kill someone. That is not true. If you hit a wire at 30kph it’s very likely to kill you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen denies twice setting wire traps on bike path despite alleged video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sheer luck that nobody died. If they shot random people on 2 separate occasions, but nobody died, would you say no prison time, just make him replace the blood soaked clothes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen denies twice setting wire traps on bike path despite alleged video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also the message it sends to society about how much a cyclist’s life is valued. If this young man gets a slap on the wrist it’s essentially saying cyclist’s are fair game. It’s no big deal if you put their lives at risk. Is that really the message we want to be sending?

  Hope they throw away the key!

  The dildo of consequence 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Par for the course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think meta pays pretty well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Often the USA gets the spelling and meaning of words wrong. In restaurants in the USA entrees are main meals and not entrees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of misinformation comes out of the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feeble defence from ABC confirms abject failure to report Labor accurately⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like the media is owned by someone with strong biases who isn’t afraid to use his media conglomerate to push his agenda

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How come you can say someone’s partially deaf when deafness already covers people who can partially hear? Isn’t that redundant?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a link to a more reputable site? Gate communications is an American thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Deaf people can’t hear. That’s what it means to be deaf 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sex work is legal! Maybe not in your puritanical shithole, but in sane countries it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨american culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Geography is very broad. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨american culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How would you know if you never got into it? Sounds ignorant to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two Australians reportedly injured after New York taxi veers into pedestrians⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cars are unsafe at any speed! We need to get them off our roads!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sydney to Hobart tragedy: Two dead after being hit by sail boom⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a sailor so excuse my ignorance. But do they wear helmets? Is the boom padded?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sydney to Hobart tragedy: Two dead after being hit by sail boom⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tragic. Hope this leads to changes to make it safer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone murdered me, how long would it take (if ever) until they catch the murderer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While that conclusion is probably true, I don’t think you can conclude that from the data.

  Which government is this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police officer Kristian White found guilty of manslaughter after tasering 95yo Clare Nowland⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Police risk their lives every day and this is how we repay them? A blood thirsty woman who had nothing to lose was coming at him with a knife. She was old enough to know better than that!

  Cashapp doesn’t hold customer money. It has banking partners that hold customer funds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man fatally crushed on wind farm construction site in Victoria⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Very sad news. Live by the blade, die by the blade. I hope some good can come from this and they change their processes/behaviour accordingly.

  I am vegan. It’s great! Highly recommend it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Landlords have to pay for water connection to the property. It works out to around $700 per year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some are, some aren’t. I only have anecdotal data so I’m not sure of how prevalent this is at a national level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats! But the mortgage is just one part of the costs of ownership. Many people spend lots on rates, water, repairs, upgrades, etc.
