I thought everyone here was too old, cynical and ironic for a real meltdown to occur.

A mate of mine jaywalked dangerously while pissed, a car had to show down cos he was walking in its path. They were plainclothes cops and they jumped out and told him to get in the car. He wasn't looking at the car and didn't see them get out or twig that they were cops. He pulled away from them and they got extendable batons out and beat the absolute piss out of him. Bruises all over his face and body, swollen eyes etc. He got charged and had to go to court for fighting the cops but the judge let him off. Ethical standards interviewed me. One of the cops went on to bash several other people and his missus and was transferred away from Ballarat.

Mate was being a dickhead but you can't go around, unidentified, snatching and bashing people

Who gives a gently caress if any worker smokes weed or whatever on the weekend. gently caress off Wilkie.

Exactly. PEDs pose a fairness and competition integrity issue but recreational drugs are none of your boss's business

*Edit* I'm told the sponsors don't like the players doing recreational drugs

Cocaine isn't prohibited by WADA who test players on game day. AFL does the illicit drug testing, player's union shouldn't put up with it

The common depiction of atoms in the manner of solar systems is a simplification, electrons behave much more weirdly than perfect orbits on a common plane.

I heard that the way atomic level stuff is taught at the basic level is all wrong but it aids in understanding so they just keep using it.

No one listens to Boonta Vista or BigSoftTitty?

I listen to boonta vista, it's a chill, sometimes funny, easy listen

I have listened to Ben Jenkins and Michael Hing's podcast Free to a Good Home, but it's not very good

Micheal Hing is spectacularly unentertaining for me. I can't explain it, he just shits me no end.

Yeah I don't get his schtick. He seems like a genuine weirdo and he mines some comedy out of that but it's not my cup of tea

The crazy thing about Boonta Vista is the podcast alone earns 20k per month.

Wow, well, they seem to have hit on a combination of host chemistry, content and being funny enough that makes for wide appeal. Great idea to move away from politics and be more of an Uhh Yeah Dude type of thing

He definitely had a thing about "Cultural Marxism"

John Rabe is probably a much better choice imo. The right choice is that you don't have to like a nazi.

I was thinking of him, saved all those Chinese people. He wasn't a nazi politician or armed services though, he was a party member cos he was a business leader and you pretty much had to be a member to be in business. Still a nazi though so gently caress that guy

God this pisses me off. Crypto was a really dope idea that just immediately got subsumed by speculative capital and turned into a tech bubble like I know that happens to everything so I shouldn't be surprised.

It's an inherently libertarian and some would say, right wing idea

It's loving weird having the government turn up to a march saying "this must be stopped" and "we are raising awareness". Bro you're aware. Literally go inside to your desk and draft some leg.

I took it as an admission that they feel like they can't legislate blokes to stop beating and killing women.

There's lots they could do and other countries are doing but the whole raising awareness talk seems like they just want people to be nicer to one another

You can legislate all sorts of crazy poo poo. You can legislate that entire countries are banned from getting visas to see their Australian children. How hard can it be.

Yeah you can totally legislate a bunch of useful things.

The language of Albo and the current govt. make it seem like they are more interest in lip service.

*edit* some of the useful stuff they could legislate could end up changing the role of the cops and maybe they're scared off pissing them off

*Edit* Olympic swimmers bankrolled by her have also asked for it to be removed. She's the loving worst
