BlitzkriegOfColour posted:Aboriginal memes is back as this https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-unicorn-page/183348585209281 but still posting things like "Flubba Wubba Unga" in order to bypass the facebook moderation team, since they're no doubt completely unaware of how offensive that is. The new review process is loving rubbish. Just let me write to you and tell you what's up, you fuckstains. Your waaaaaaay late on that one. About 5-6 months ago that one turned up as "aboriginal memes" and a bunch of perth musicians and music fans and general facebook riffraff flooded it with unicorns, furry-porn, horse porn and the like to just drown it under a sea of horrifying poo poo. The guy changed the name to "unicorn page" and its been abandoned ever since. If you ever hear a reference to "perth unicorn army" its basically a loose collection of left wing trolls associated with the perth band scene who do fun things like turn up en-masse to young liberal functions to ruin their day. The theory is , if they turn up on facebook pages wanting to start trouble online, we turn up at their functions to start trouble IRL. Well thats the theory. In reality  and we only crashed one of their events.edit: Also on the page , in a strange twist , idiot racist bizarely got some of the lingo correct 'Flubba wubba unna". Flubba wubba is just bizaro 4chan talk. "unna" is actually Nyungah for "hey!" duck monster fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Aug 20, 2014 |

So yesterday News Corp pissed off a whole bunch of people by showing a graphic photo on the front page of the New York Post, it's just moments prior to James Foley's beheading - they've now done essentially the exact same thing with the Terrorgraph, Hun & the Courier Mail.

I'm not really surprised; this is coming from a company which thinks that it's perfectly acceptable to put on the front page a young boy holding a severed head.

Also, I suggest we go "cupping" for the next Adelaide meetup http://www.australiaplus.com/international/2014-08-19/taking-coffee-tasting-to-a-new-level/1347611 quote:Australia is historically a tea-drinking nation, but in 2012 coffee became the number one hot drink consumed by all age groups in the country.

Obeid book to be pulped after defaming Chris Brown, noted Rihanna beater. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-21/obeid-book-pulled-from-shelves-over-defamation-allegations/5685608 (Or was it the other Chris Brown? Really whats happened is the book has named and identified the wrong Chris Brown as an Obeid associate and is suing for defamation. It will probably succeed and the book will be reissued with corrections and apologies.)

It does not surprise me that bozos are highly represented

Much like the world of fine art, the world of fine wine has some hosed up problems with the way they value wine, and yeah a lot of the 'studies' where experts can't tell a 500 dollar bottle from a ten dollar one are specifically designed (by the industry) to highlight these discrepancies in pricing vs quality and help correct them. And millions of people enjoy this fake hobby at a very fun and non pretentious level but you just get all that spite and rage out on the internet so you dont accidentally mow down a cyclist irl

The ADF has a crazy poo poo culture. Any recruit is beaten down until they tow the line on good and bad and right and wrong. It's all us and them and mere civilians who "don't get it". It's hosed beyond all belief. A good friend of mine has finally escaped it (despite their every attempt to sabotage her ability to leave) and in the 6 months since leaving has gone from staunch "only the liberal party forever" to "voting greens next election" just from being away from the toxic loving culture of it. The ADF is hosed, most members of the ADF are hosed, not because they're bad people necessarily, but because of the loving indoctrinating loving ADF. gently caress the ADF. It desperately needs a huge overhaul and Australia really needs to take better care of the people it's trained to be murderers and then dumped into the streets once their murderin' years are over. Speaking of hosed culture. Tony Abbott in response to Muslim groups who boycotted his summit due to his stupid loving statements about "team Australia" and implications that Muslims are foreigners, rather than apologise, has called their actions "foolish". Hey Tony, if you piss someone off by opening your big dumb mouth, don't then do it again. Building bridges with the Muslim community there man.

If it helps drag it back to d&d, that wine collection of tones is actually really tasteful and not nearly worth the beat up that wine snob gave it, which makes me think it's some kind of weird reverse hatchet job to try and make tony look accessible or whatever

Full timer was an officer, the reservist joined other ranks but is now an NCO. I guess I'll go full disclosure and say I'm currently in the application process for reserves engineering corps officer. That being said, I really doubt I could do full time. The recent exposure of all the poo poo that goes on at ADFA massively put me off the officer corps but reservists for the most part stay the gently caress away. I also have a choice on whether I go on deployment, which means if I get asked to go Iraq or Afghanistan 2.0 I can just say no.
