Yes, hello?
Call me when someone is getting “slammed”.
Against Biden, sure. Trump’s scared of seeming less intelligent than a black woman on a public stage. He’ll find excuses to never debate Harris.
The Rest of the World: Wait, wut?
On display? I finally found them in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the leopard”.
Vagina couch is full of vaginas.
Counterpoint: faith and religion have caused more wars, misery, and death than any other single source in human history. We’ve had literally thousands of years of being led by religious leaders, maybe it’s time to try something different. The world needs LESS faith.
Their religion has been telling them they’re the “chosen ones” for thousands of years. Entitlement and victimhood are second nature.
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.
As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.

I’ll remind you that Hamas recruits children.> I’d argue that Israel does Hamas’ recruiting, by murdering their parents.

My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.

Your implication is that our gun culture is getting more like the US, which thankfully isn’t the case. Yes, I was surprised and dismayed by the stats, but as I stated above, less people in Australia own guns now than in '96, which is great news.
Did you read the article, or are just cherrypicking a headline that suits your agenda? The article states that we have more guns in the hands of fewer shooters. Not great, but at least we’re keeping guns out of the wrong hands. Australia licences guns appropriately, so hunters, farmers and hobbyists can still access the firearms that they need to. Your headline isn’t the mic drop you think it is.
Oh, the guns aren’t lethal. IT’S OK EVERYONE, THE GUNS ARE SAFE! SOME FUCKWIT TOLD ME SO ONLINE, WE WERE ALL WRONG!
Duh! This has always been the plan, it’s now just ramping up.
