yeah by taking about the well understood and very common phenomenon of bystander effect I'm not trying to suggest that people shouldn't try to help each other, just offering an explanation as to why it happens less often than we might like.

Avshalom posted:It feels unfair to put the onus for stopping assaults on ordinary guys, but the police can't be everywhere (talking about non-corrupt non-evil police of course) and there's not really anybody else to take responsibility for it. Someone has to do it. As a white person I feel obligated to stand up to racist abusers on behalf of non-white people, and unfortunately non-abusive men sometimes have to stand up to abusive men on behalf of women (or other men, or children, or whoever it is that they're abusing), for the simple reason that they're less likely to kill us than whoever it is that they're abusing. To be honest, I've always seen police in these situations to be more reactionary in that by the time they've arrived, it's all over. Also someone has to call them first. Mith's brother (of whom I'm of the opinion is a legend) actually tried to break up a fight between 4 white guys who were beating on an Indian man. He got the crap beat out of him, but he's proud of what he did and would do it again.

my brother-in-law (classified as quadriplegic after a bull-riding accident, although he's partially recovered) once interrupted a domestic assault outside his house by rolling down the driveway, parking his chair on the dudes foot and punching him when he bent down. also a bloody legend.

Dante18907 posted:Permanent full time AFAIK. Contract might say otherwise. You need to get yourself squared away. 1) Get your contract 2) Get your payslips, minimum three months worth, I'm a big fan of overkill though so six months if you can. 3) Ring your super and get your details like account number and find out if there have been any employer contributions. Take a note of the person you speak to's name and get their contact number. 4) Check that your employer has the correct super details, that they have made deposits. You might need to get them to cross check with the super fund. I've had work say yup we've paid, super saying nup got nothing and they'd hosed up the coding in their internal payment system. Bottom line is you need to get your pay paperwork, super paperwork and talk to ACTU, fairwork and your super

Do you think all rapes / assaults are a flurry of activity and yelling? I didn't say anything about what I think I might do (though you never know until the situation is on you).

Cartoon posted:http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-20/nigel-scullion-defends-government-plan-to-buy-indigenous-jobs/6333684 If companies aren't hiring indigenous staff despite them being overqualified enough to "wallpaper their lounge room with certificates" then surely they should be investigated for discrimination rather than handed $10,000 tax payer dollars that would be better spent on early childhood education, health services or literally anything else for indigenous communities. Taking money out of other indigenous services to pay companies to not be racist is loving stupid.

This is just like the "direct action" climate policy. Stop paying companies not to do things and start legislating for gently caress's sake. You're the government, act like it.
