Are you posting from MS Word or something? Those angled quotes are messed up.

Also they're called idiots.

That's the first complaint I've had but apparently it's an ios feature (that I just turned off.)

they are dickheads for sure, but loudly announcing to everyone around you that you definitely don't eat vegetarian meals and only eat manly things like bacon and steak is virtue signalling

how else would everyone around you know how tough and manly and meat eating you were if you didn't constantly let everyone know

Fine, "vice signalling", or whatever, but you're just overcomplicating the term "dickhead"

I thought vice signalling was when you smoke, drink or do drugs to excess and revel in it, and try to get other people into it

A bit late but: what’s the term for reverse virtue signaling? Like when someone mentions they’re a vegetarian and some rear end in a top hat says they’ll eat twice as many burgers to make up for it.

The African nation of Cameroon has lost one-third of its Commonwealth Games team while competing on the Gold Coast.

Earlier, it was revealed five athletes from the African nation had gone missing from the athletes village.

By Wednesday afternoon, Cameroon officials revealed eight out of the 24 athletes on their team had gone missing from their rooms in the games village.

Team Cameroon chef de mission Victor Agbor Nso said he was "sad to announce" the team members had gone missing, and confirmed the athletes - six men and two women - left in three waves.

The first three athletes "left in the night" of April 8, with two declared missing on April 9 and another three leaving their rooms on Tuesday night.

Dude, none of the major parties are going to give you any details, especially the ones in opposition, as this gives the government and media means of attacking them.

Of course.

Malcolm sent the airport rail funding letter to Dan Andrews at a quarter past midnight this morning (basically saying find 5 billion quickly or you won't get this train line) hours after it had gone up on the herald sun.

The fed government also spent $50m to do a study... which had the same results and same 4 route options as a study done by vicgov only a few years ago
