Hey, third big-rear end villain. Just because Loki and Ultron weren't cosmic-scale, doesn't mean they aren't big asses. Also that's not including the ones without the 'Avengers' name; didn't the Guardians fight a planet?

And this is even further off the point, but I want to voice that Thanos hosed basically every single-superhero movie in the franchise from contributing villains to future crossover movies. Loki was a Thor villain, and Ultron was an Iron Man villain (in story origin and flavor of character, not in from-movies-origin), but with the Guardians providing Thanos we leapfrogged the scale most of the movies are playing on. So Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, they can't provide an Avengers villain because it'll be an enormous step down from Thanos (Doctor Strange probably could, but I'm the only person that liked that movie).

if i ever meet you i'm just going to stare at you silently until you get uncomfortable and walk away

i read many comics and am disgusted primarily by myself, reflected in others

we've finally managed to convince the coalition that yes, as an object, the great barrier reef is worth a lot of money in actual real-world dollars. so if they invest money into the reef in the short term, in the long term they will make an actual real-world quantifiable profit on that investment. but of course money doesn't grow on trees, it has to come from somewhere. so they balance it out by stripping funding from biodiversity, a product that they haven't yet been completely sold on. nobody has managed to show them on a powerpoint presentation with brightly coloured graphs and words whizzing across the screen why it is necessary for australia to have nineteen different species of wallaby. more importantly, nobody has told them that, if we still have nineteen species of wallabies in 2050 (as opposed to what we will have, which is like three), they will each get one million dollars. in this scenario the fact that the coalition are sexually fixated on business and can't understand anything not cased in the vocabulary of the dollar is a secondary problem. the main problem here is that nobody will ever be able to explain to them why biodiversity is necessary because they are all outrageously stupid little men

i'm doing a diploma at tafe atm and it's great. before this i did a bachelor's and a few lower-level certs so i'm used to being the solitary wild-eyed mature age student who lurks in the back corner and harasses the teacher with stupid loving poo poo nobody cares about, but diploma-level tafe is fifteen to twenty wild-eyed mature age students and the teachers are actual professionals in their field who know a ridiculous amount of poo poo and if any of you are doing or contemplating a mature age uni degree i implore you to drop out and do a tafe diploma instead, you learn more and it's way more entertaining

no studies have been done on this afaik, but i did a degree in one of the worst industries for unpaid internships (graphic design) and my anecdotal evidence is that my male friends all managed to graduate from internships to paid work either with the same company or another company that poached them within six months of starting. my female friends (including me) did the same sort of work, worth the same amount of money, for the same companies, usually multiple times (i did two unpaid internships totalling over a year of work, i know women who are onto their fourth.) how many of us got work paying above minimum wage for all this free effort? not one. not a single one

also one of my friends asked for paid work after a six-month internship and was told she wasn't suited for the job because it involved having to talk business with big men and she was too much of a "little asian doll" to do that

I got knocked back for a job at a Civic Video while I was at uni, because 'the owners want a dude--what if the place gets held up??!' never mind I had the experience they were looking for (apparently servo work is pretty similar to video store work) and had training in how to deal with a loving robbery

i can't even get a job as a disability support worker because all the places around here have decided to use their ndis money to branch into clients that were too difficult to handle before (which i guess is a good thing) and they're only hiring men, my dainty female self is apparently too week and delicate to stand up to an autistic six-year-old throwing a tantrum

On the ABC news last night they had an article on about rising housing cost effecting people on social security.

So did they use a young person as their case study? Or a single mother with children? No, some baby boomer who used to run a business complaining about not affording rent in her inner city suburb.

unfortunately that's the abc's target market now, they hate anyone under 50

You're safe as long as it isn't a heron. Fuckers will make a mess of your pots and pans.

they're also very difficult to rescue/rehabilitate because they go straight for the eyes. ever see them stab a minnow straight out of the water with that dagger beak? yes.

one of the sweet old ladies in wildlife rescue keeps a welding mask in her car just in case she has to save a heron. i love them

river cottage australia is mostly slow-paced kindly crap, but there's one incredible episode where the hipster protagonist and his boyfriend, a buff doe-eyed butcher, baker and salami coinesseur, kill and dismember a goat on-screen and then sacrifice its flayed corpse in a churchyard in the presence of thirty-odd rural pensioners and dismayed schoolchildren

meanwhile the abc's coverage is both-sides bullshit

the abc is loving poison. i think i hate it more than 9 at the moment - at least 9 never claims not to be poo poo, while the abc is still pretending to be a left-wing bastion of culture and democracy even though it's been completely hollowed out and turned into a puppet for the conservative agenda
