That’s just… I don’t even know what to say. Disgusting and abhorrent come close to how I feel about that.

I’m half German myself (born and raised in Melbourne), and my family is so disgusted and disappointed that Nazis have made such a rapid and thorough return. This could have and should have been prevented, and yet here we are.

Make Australia Day the first Monday of February, like Cup Day is the first Tuesday of November.

I just don’t understand why we don’t change it. Not everyone is offended or hurt by the 26/01, but isn’t enough that some are offended and hurt?

The first Monday of February would ensure we still get a public holiday in summer and it isn’t on a day that deeply hurts a portion of our citizens. It doesn’t have to be on a specific date when something specific happened in the history of this nation. We aren’t deeply patriotic.

I personally am of the belief that some citizens of this country like it on the 26/01 precisely because it hurts some of our citizens. Which is disgusting and unaustralian to the highest degree.

For anyone who wants this list without reading the article :)

I get it, I do. But this is only going to be used by Dutton and his ilk to further divide us at this upcoming election. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Dear DT and Baku,

I want to apologise for the abusive language I directed at Baku. I was inappropriate, and I regret the hurt I caused. I am sorry for contributing to your decision to delete your account, Baku.

To the DT, I apologise for disrupting the thread and creating unnecessary drama. I failed to maintain the respectful and civil atmosphere of this community, and I understand how my actions may have disappointed the group.

I have learned from this mistake and will be more mindful in the future.

StudSpud the Starchy

I’d love to go to a marine park!

I went to Busselton pier a couple of years ago, and the concrete pillar aquarium is magnificent. A must-see if in Busselton.

If we don’t have fake internet points, then how will we know what to think? Won’t somebody think of the points‽ 😭

Agreed 100% no notes

As a jobseeker (I am studying but do not qualify for austudy), this is foul. How come IT issues with mutual obligations don’t immediately ping against the payment and prevent cancellations?

They treat us like scum, with no regard to our individual financial situations. We’re labelled as “dole bludgers” and written off by the vast majority as saps on society. Then this happens and we can’t pay rent, pay our bills, pay our school fees (whether our own or our kids), buy food or pet food, pay for public transport or petrol or rego. Yet we aren’t given consideration or understanding from the public, just that we should “suck it up” and “just get a job”.

I feel great empathy for those affected by this, and am saddened by the lack of regard for our wellbeing. I look forward to what the reviews find and suggested outcomes reccomended by them. Though I am not so naive to believe this will change anyone’s perception of our place in society.

Replace playing video games with doomscolling, and I’m 6/8 as well 😂

I sent you a dm with the screenshots for your assessment.

Never said diverse viewpoints have to be removed, just that calling Seagoon defensive is out of line considering the context, which you seem to just gloss over in favour of being antagonistic towards her. She’s not being defensive, she’s giving context ffs.

Have your opinion, didn’t say you can’t, but that perhaps you are being downvoted because you obviously lack the nuance and empathy that a day like today calls for.

Edit: loving how you gloss over this part funny that

“Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.”

Have some empathy? You’re 17, not 7. You can stop and think about the DTers in here who have stated they have family in the US, and are scared about a Fascist Dictator and his Tech Whore ruling the most powerful country on Earth for (at least) the next four years. Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.

Can you just stop for a second and fucking think about the people here? This place isn’t just your echo chamber, it’s for everyone. And considering you haven’t stated you have friends or family there that you’re scared for, maybe just wait until tomorrow to shit on US citizens ey?

Aww so glad for Geoffrey! Such a strong boi!! 💪🏼

Enjoy! Today has been too hot and sad, go enjoy yourself and the cool breeze! ☺️💜

Bruh.

How is it controversial when the thread is sitting at 89%? Isn’t that more positive than controversial?

5 hours of restless, nightmarish sleep.

💀

My brain is screaming at me

Oh my god shut up

I’m out of NRTs
So I’m going cold turkey
Pray for me 😭

Edit: thank you all for your advice and support! Truly. But I cannot buy NRTs or anything until Friday, we have less than $100 and I would prefer to keep that for cat food/human food.

Apologies for complaining. I’m always complaining.

Such a lazy bitch, she leaves that up to her maids ofc
