cheese-cube posted:Right now there's ~25 dinguses protesting in the middle of Murray St Mall in Perth. They're wearing Guy Fawkes masks, standing in a square back-to-back, some are holding signs which say TRUTH and others are holding laptops which are playing some kind of video but of course you can't see it in the glare of the sun. None of them are talking or interacting with people. Basically the demonstration I've ever seen as I have no fuckin clue what their message is. Anyone have an idea? My guess is a uni student political society that saw V For Vendetta and thought it was cool and wanted to cosplay.

Libs are getting smashed in Gosford. For some reason the NSWEC is doing a 2PP between the Libs and Greens when the independent is running second in both North Shore and Manly. Eh guys I don't think that is how it is meant to work.

Wait a few hours until it becomes clear then let rip. Or, why the hell are we not tabulating votes into a computer under the scrutineers watch so doing preferences is easy?

By the end of the night the notion is that you'll have an answer of who won the whole election and by roughly how many seats, while specifics can shake out over time. Part of this entails sticking to an initial 2PP unless it becomes grossly clear that there's an upset (like what happened in that one SA seat that NXT won). It's a system that struggles on a seat-by-seat basis when things don't shake out quite as easily, but they actually have a couple weeks to count the votes in full for the concrete numbers. That first night's count is just to give everyone a pretty general idea of where it's falling. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Apr 8, 2017 |

For three by-elections you'd think accuracy was more important than expediency.

I'm pretty sure when he stepped down from Labour leadership it was due to his diagnosed illness, but possibly pressered as just depression.

Yes, Daisy is wearing a top with her own name printed on it. It is because she doesn't know her own name so needs to see it written on all sorts of things to remind her. It's a real condition look it up.

I'm still chuckling at the fact she needs to put her own name on tops. None of this is going to top that. Putting your own name on your clothes is the new punk rock because it breaks the stranger danger rules and breaking the rules is as punk as it gets. As for the Caleb stuff being fake. He's thinking it at least, he's putting that pic in the fap folder.

The only thing more extreme and out there is sewing your name onto all your socks and into the waistband of all your underwear.
