IKR. This was the obvious answer 24 hours ago but here we are discussing wear patterns and contrast.

Why is no one else talking about this.

There’s no debate. It’s at the top of the stairs.

I’m in my mid 40’s.

It’s not particularly uncommon for people in regional Australia to own their own house with no mortgage by my age.

It’s pretty tough to find a family home that costs less than 10x average wage.

So, as a kind of line in the sand I’d say maybe a third of 45 year olds living in regional Australia could “survive” for 10 years with no income.

Are the protestors with signs saying they support palestinian action intending to state that they support the group or that they support action generally?

Either way they’ve manufactured this issue to protest anti-terrorism laws right?

Not sure if would die on this hill.

The consensus throughout this post is that its the brand of TP.

OP had a problem about cleaning, asked a question, received an answer, and know knows the solution which will enable them to clean their toilet.

You’re here trying to shame someone for asking a question about cleaning.

I’ve never seen this.

Fuck off.

I knew this would be here.

Q: “How do I clean my bathroom?”

A: “I clean my bathroom you dirty pleb”

The bum gun does take some practice.

You pretty much shuffle forward a little, position the BG behind the disaffected area, at an obtuse angle to your sphincter, ease on, I mean really ease on the gas until you can confirm that all splash is going down into the bowl, finally you can really pucker up and hit it.

The thing is… you still need some TP to dry off after.

I don’t really know anything about the situation you cited.

For any community hosted by a corporation like reddit, the answer has to be pretty much: no discussion of self harm in the first person will be tolerated.

For communities hosted in the fediverse it’s more complex. If I were an admin, I wouldn’t allow a community to discuss self harm in the first person on my instance for a variety of reasons but most of them boil down to: Mods just don’t have the skills, experience, and resources to discern between what is an appropriate or inappropriate discussion or comment.

While a safe place for this type of discussion could potentially be therapeutic in some way, the potential for harm is just too high.

In fairness Australia has a low population density, and is not so mountainous, and we have very little snow et cetera.

That said I guess we do have hazards like kangaroos, and a larger road network to maintain (per capita).

Also depending on. When these stats are from they might pre-date the influx of shitty over-sized little-mans American cars. Thats sure to increase the rates of fatalities.

Thats true, but i think this guy is kinda next level.

I’m not a psychologist but I suspect there’s something amiss here.

Like a lot of these people if he steps back from his loyalty to Trump, he’s kind of admitting that he’s partially responsible for what’s happened.

Clinging to this shaky narrative of how this is actually a good thing allows him to offload the guilt.

I think this might be “delusional” in the clinical sense.

Over time the belief becomes more entrenched. Something like muscle memory but a thought pattern. It will then become the basis for even nuttier thoughts.

It’s sad for him, it’s sadder for her, it’s even sadder for their kids who might me next. It’s just shit all the way down.

I was gonna say. Things might be different if I was in poverty and in central America, but for the rest of us the US just seems like a real awful place to be.

I disagree.

Perhaps that were true a decade ago.

At this point though I don’t think supporting the republicans is really defensible.

As in, anyone who is not racist would not support this.

You’re not a wallet. You’re an automaton producing value for capitalists.

They dribble a little money into your wallet each fortnight so you can buy subscriptions and delivered take away.

IKR. Those assholes that want to give everyone free healthcare and free childcare and free food. Fuck those cunts. Let’s do whatever we can to piss them off it will be hilarious.

Haah.

Everyone with half a brain knew that after Brexit Britain would spend the next 50 years trying to cut down on red tape and trade restrictions, effectively re-joining without re-joining.

Yeah.

I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.

I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.

However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.

Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.

I dont think anyone cares about money anymore.

They can see the problems arising from climate change on the horizon and they’re creating a ruling class and a subservient class.

If you’re part of the ruling class you dont need money.

I dont think that’s it.

It’s an overwhelming case of “got mine”.

Like sanders said, being a GOP member just means staying in line.
