It reminds me of all those "I used to be a hardcore liberal but now I'm conservative" or "I used to be atheist but now I'm Christian" things where the conversion stories are always the most unconvincing made-up horseshit.

That reminds me, I was just recently listening to the fplus episode about fetish self-hypnosis where a gay guy was super convinced he hypnotized himself straight and to prove it he said how much he loves "curvy pussies"

I'll still never not laugh when Newt Gingrich said he converted to Catholicism because he heard Benedict XVI speak and was moved, and not because he was trying to marry his third wife who was Catholic.

There was deffo an article about Australian Coast Guard ptsd as a result of finding tons of corpses in the water

What happens is a naval vessel gets a distress call from a refugee boat while patrolling in international waters. They radio back to HQ and get ordered to turn around and return to Australian waters.

Then, after the distress calls finally stop, they are allowed to return to the area. Any bodies they find died at sea in international waters and are therefore not Australia's responsibility.

There have been reports from the seamen of lines of bodies stretching for miles.

A bunch of us in the AusPol thread spent the longest loving time trying to find what is happening to the bodies being pulled out of the sea, but it's a black hole.

There is no official way to find out as the government refuses to comment on "on water" matters, both major parties are guilty as hell over this, and naval personnel are ordered not to say anything.

This is of course separate to the new law the government put in place making it punishable for up to two years in jail if you report on the abuses going on in the detention camps.


So, yeah, in contravention of centuries of naval tradition, RAN vessels ignore distress calls and wait for the people on board to drown because the current party in power's promise of "no refugee boats will make it to Australia" is more important that the lives of an unknown (and potentially forever unknowable) number of people looking to escape persecution and find a better life.

Not just naval tradition, I'm pretty sure they're violating the law of the sea, but lol at anyone holding them accountable unless it happens to someone rich or white

Even if they're taking the piss they're still highlighting anti-unionization hypocrisy in a so-called liberal institution. Of course this is not actually hypocrisy but it is insofar as what people represent or understand American liberalism as standing for (in reality this has never been the case).

It's very confusing to see a British-ism like "taking the piss" followed right after with the American use of the word "liberal"

The attempts at trying to make me feel sorry for rich people never stops being hilarious and then eventually leads to me overflowing with rage.

Oh no, the "single parent" who makes more in "investment income" than 99% of single parents in reality have in total income to get by is getting a tax increase. How can I ever sleep at night after reading that?

Maybe alimony is the "investment income".

Seriously, at 5% return of this was tax free income she would have $700K in assets. Assuming these are are dividends that would mean a rough 35% tax rate and gently caress you I'm not doing the math. She has at least $800K in investments that are kicking off the $35k.
