It's strange that a loooot of other countries have similar consumption of alcohol, but don't have the weird problem with macho culture or anywhere near the same rate of domestic violence as we do. But the US, UK, NZ, and AU all have these similar issues with pressures to be macho and aggressive. What is it about anglo men that makes them so angry? Loss of power through the slow dismantling of colonial and patriarchal power structures? (too slow IMO but that's just me) Whatever it is, alcohol isn't to blame. It does contribute, so it's the easiest scapegoat for politicians and the media to point to so they don't have to address the underlying toxic culture. Hopefully it does start to make people more accountable for their own actions while drunk, but lol that's not gonna happen.

BlitzkriegOfColour posted:See if you can get cable or nbn before signing up for ADSL, because those first two are extremely good and the last one is extremely, extremely poo poo. ehhhh cable in some areas can be really poo poo during peak times due to congestion/lots of households on cable TV. Also depends on how close you are to an exchange. We're really close to one on ADSL2+ and we get 24mbps.

Lid posted:well given the communication etc. vague descriptions it seems the case used was rather than the person being for example psychopathic they were autistic (lack of eye contact, difficulty conversing) so unless they have a much better case it seems that rather than start a slippery slope its origins come from the slippery slope The "good" part of the whole thing is the literacy and numeracy requirements. But yeah it seems depending on how their methodology for psych assessments, they might exclude someone on the wrong basis.

Albo would be better than Bubble-O-Bill, but he'd also be poo poo because his #1 favourite thing to do is attack the Greens instead of trying to work with them, because his seat is under threat
