  • Yeah. Biden said after “it’s hard to win a debate against a liar”.

    If you’ve ever argued with someone on Facebook, it’s the same. Because it doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll simply claim you are lying and it’s easy to make up bullshit. Coming up with facts, supporting them and recalling your policies is a lot harder.

    Whereas, Trump doesn’t need to worry about his policies. He just makes them up and throws in racism.

    Trump wanted everyone to know he is a racism piece of shit. If anything, that was his only policy . I’ve never seen someone be so racist

    What’s weird is that you hear Biden on different mics soon after, he sounded fine, so I think the mics may have needed adjusting too. But maybe the rules dictated both levels were the same or something

    And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.

    When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There’s a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I’ve done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson’s.

    The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people

    This was one of those toxic questions designed to cause people to argue. That’s really its ONLY purpose. It really only has 2 answers, and both can be interpreted as toxic.

    My 2 cents though, here in Australia, you’ll occasionally get a question about staying safe when hiking as women.

    You’ll have a huge majority of women saying its safe to hike in Australia, and then 1 or 2 women encouraging women to bring knives or weapons. The ones who claim this then get a huge negative response by both women and guys pointing out it makes things more dangerous for everyone and that nobody needs them.

    As a male guide also, I’ve actually found it difficult to find other guys to hike with, but it is incredibly trivial for me to find women to join me (in fact, doing one this upcoming weekend).

    So, interpret that as you will, but, honestly, the people who are incredibly invested in either of these answers, in my opinion, nobody would want to hike with regardless (bears, other women or men), so the answer doesn’t affect them.


  • Here in Melbourne Australia, honestly, VicPol are fairly good and give us all a lot of leeway (they genuinely seem to want to keep us safe).

    I know its not the same elsewhere though, but in general, the people here mainly complain about the police because

    1. The complainer is an asshole, or genuinely do a lot of dodgy stuff and deserve it. Generally Meth heads, or shitty disrespectful drivers
    2. The only other complaint I’ve seen is that they don’t solve someone’s problem (like recovering stolen bikes). But, that sometimes isn’t easy and can’t really blame VicPol



  • Really happy I’m kicking out my housemate.

    He’s not anti-vax, but he only got the COVID Vax because without it, he couldn’t do stuff.

    But then the guy kept going to concerts and such…And wouldn’t even tell me when he was sick (and still doesn’t, even when I complain). Since I run a hiking group (and we do a lot of alpine winter walks), its absolutely f**ked because if I get sick overnight on the top of mountains like bogong, i may have difficulty carrying a 20kg pack in freezing cold bad conditions

    I also don’t believe he actually does RAT tests when I asked and he was clearly sick. When he got a notification at a concert that he needed to test for COVID in early days, he didn’t…

    Once did a walk when I recovered from COVID, and turned out I had the flu (thanks to him). Despite being flat ground, by the end, I was struggling to go 500m without stopping for a few minutes

    With something like this, once he got the vax, it would literally be a case of “f*** everyone else”.

    Except it’s not.

    Here in Australia we have preferential voting which is much better, but Biden and Trump are not the same.

    Honestly, this is just the current strategy that right wingers seem to have switched to

    Trump is a total psychopath who only cares about himself. He’s a criminal. The fact they’re trying hard to indict Biden, have for months but have found nothing should be a strong indicator he’s not (his son might be, but that has nothing to do with Biden, since unlike Trump’s kids, he wasn’t part of government).

    Trump made it clear he would cause a insurrection months before it happened, and now he’s backed into a corner, what do you think will happen if he becomes president? He’s made it clear that he will act like a dictator

    Seriously, if you guys vote Trump, it will f*** everyone. They’re not the same

    I wonder how many adults here saw porn as a kid? If we’re being honest, probably the majority. Kids don’t find youporn unless they’re looking for it.

    There is a highly effective way of preventing kids accessing porn, by being a parent and watching them (ie, put the computer in a public area) and also installing porn blockers in parallel. That’s the solution.

    The problem with laws like this, is that they’re easy to abuse and they’re created by people who don’t understand technology either (so they’re happy to make tech less useful, or they’d even ban some of it entirely if they could be to level the playing field).

    It’s more important to keep kids away from unsolicited porn specifically and creeps, and that can be some simply by requiring a site warning and monitoring them online
