THE ITIS

Meaning: A general feeling of lethargy or sleepiness.

Origin: According to Mic, the phrase “The Itis” actually originates from the word “n***eritis”, which was used in the US to reinforce the stereotype that people of African descent were lazy and didn’t enjoy working.

Who was talking the other day about recreational fishers not thinking they do any damage?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-10/eight-platypuses-found-dead-in-fishing-trap-in-werribee-river/10221950

quote:

Eight dead platypuses have been found in a bait trap by a group of teenagers who were clearing rubbish from a river in Melbourne's west over the weekend.

....

"We had [another platypus trap death] with four or five in one net two years ago… but nothing like eight, no eight is just simply staggering."

Mr Forrester said he suspected the net may have been set up to catch yabbies in the public waterway.

"The yabbies might be the intention of the net fisher, but unwittingly of course, platypus come in chasing the yabbies and naturally once inside that small cone at the top of the net, the platypus can't get out.

Unfortunately they are experienced enough in underhandedly exploiting their connections to only put 'asking for advice' and 'call me' in writing, rather than the 'oi mate, sort this out for me' they surely said during the phone call.

That dipshit who vandalised Eurydice Dixon's memorial has been ordered to pay $20,000, serve an 18 month community corrections order, and perform 200 hours of community service, and had a conviction recorded. Good.

Does anyone know what he actually graffitied? All the articles just say "a symbol", with a picture of two tarps over whatever it was. An offensive symbol makes me think swastika, but he seemed more about being an anti-woman idiot than a nazi. I'm glad they aren't giving his views exposure but I can't help but be made curious by those two tarps.

It's very cool to me that so much of politics is now based on public polling, and also public polling is utterly meaningless because you can generate literally any answer you want by asking the right question because people cannot be trusted to govern themselves

I knew he was an idiot but assumed it would be a more coherent or political symbol. He managed to ruin both the memorial and the time honored tradition of drawing dicks on things. What a loser.

He said he did it to protest "man hating" in the media coverage of the murder and as a general MRA protest. So I guess it was political, if by "political" you mean "extremely stupid".

Per the Guardian his statement was:

quote:

“I’m an advocate for equal rights for both genders. Not all men are bad,” he told reporters.

“I did the political graffiti because the mainstream media and feminists turned the tragic murder of Eurydice Dixon into one giant political man-hating event.

“This mainstream media propaganda and man-hating upset me so much that I thought I had to make a statement for men’s rights.”

This is one of the things that poo poo me the most about what he did.

Sure, if you want to be an anti-feminist, and protest at how the meanie weenie feminists are hurting and holding back the poor straight white men of this world by daring to not be barefoot and pregnant and cooking you a sandwich, go ahead. But protest something that is actually feminist, or something that could concievably be considered "man hating" or whatever bullshit issue you have.

Don't smear the memorial for a dead woman. A murdered woman. A young woman whose murder evoked no politics whatsoever besides, "it is sad somebody died, and I hope we can find ways to stop people killing other people in the future." Which is a sentiment this fuckknuckle felt strongly enough against that he had to draw a giant overcompensating dick, to really stick it to those grieving feminazis.
