I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.
Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.
There’s also Nationalispoliticus
I thought of it as a great band name…
To be honest I don’t follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you’re right, speculation doesn’t help anyone.
Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is “it was just a joke!” is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you should just use it at random and it’s acceptable. As with even words like “queer” you should know whether they’re OK with using the term to refer to someone rather than just assume they’re OK with it.
I was surprised about “wog” too. I’m a Melburnian and reading some of the comments here just made me realise it could just be a Melbourne thing. A lot of my friends refer to themselves by that term and want us to use it too as a sign of closeness/affection.
I’d never heard Paki in Australia before either.
Really it’s all about intent and intonation. Given what we call close friends and sworn enemies alike ;)
Australia is the most expensive place in the world for cigarettes so… The latter. But they won’t ban it because it makes the govt. so much money.
I live right near the MCG and a decent number of people still drive in. I’m not sure why though since the city council makes a fortune by doing the rounds 2 hours in to a game and ticketing everyone without a parking permit (which is a lot of people) and the number of vehicle break-ins is pretty high too.
I can’t believe I actually read the full transcript, but the interactions between Hunter and Matt Gaetz are hilarious
21 Mr. Lowell. Will the record show that we’re all laughing?
22 The Witness. I mean, are you kidding me? No. I don’t – again –
23 Mr. Gaetz. So do you –
24 The Witness. I’m sorry, Mr. Gaetz, I’ll take you seriously. And it’s hard to do –
Being the petty person I can be at times, someone on ye olde reddit posted a list of people who “died from the vaccine” and listed… 23 names I think it was? I looked up all the information I could on all 23 and concluded 2 of them I couldn’t definitively say what their cause of death was, but not a single one pointed to the vaccine (and a not-insignificant number wouldn’t have even had access to the vaccine in their country at the time they supposedly died from it.)
I know it didn’t change their mind because hand wave reasons
I’ve done a bunch of transcoding of things to x265 in the past (as I’m sure everyone is aware transcoding isn’t GREAT but cuts down on storage costs). With that said I’ve now moved to AV1. I don’t use GPU encoders at all as I found the quality to be pretty terrible. I just use a custom written ZSH script to go through and check the current format (it also converts audio to OPUS too)
A bunch of friends and I have been playing Sniper Elite 5. It’s a mixed bag of varied experience. Some are terrible but just enjoy the shit talking (I’m one of those) and others just kick the crap out of the rest of us. But it’s a fun bonding experience too since you can have up to 4 teams against each other and just need to make sure there’s a fairly even balance.
Haha I got it on sale a JB. I should make a digital backup of it actually. Can’t believe I haven’t done it yet…
Any time!
Psychosis is a literal break from reality. I suspect when the police showed up she was no longer psychotic and realised what was happening and couldn’t deal with what had happened. She knew she did it but couldn’t understand how or why but knew she did it by physical evidence, she now knows she did it but the integration of her psychotic state and actions to her non-psychotic state would be crushing, hence the suicidal actions she had.
Like a lot of things it’s a differential analysis, meaning it’s down to narrowing things down but there is also blood tests, chemical tests etc. It’s fairly accurate but relies on anecdotal evidence such as past historyt etc.
Many years ago I worked in ‘criminal psych’ but this isn’t just “Oh I think this is why it happened.” The article is light on but it seems she has never shown any psychological/psychiatric issues. This is a difficult one for me since I’ve seen people with substance-induced (or drug-induced) psychosis.
Psychosis is crippling, and she will be experiencing guilt and there’s probably an onset of a psychotic disorder. People saying she ‘got off light’, while she’s lucid she knows what she did and will be struggling for life with this.
There’s a few ways to do it, but analysis is normally done via PRISM along with other things.
“PRISM is a semi-structured diagnostic interview designed to deal with the problems of psychiatric diagnosis when subjects/patients drink heavily or use drugs”
I thought 000 goes through whatever network is available wherever you are as opposed to just your network provider?
Honestly, I’d like to double mine (to about $400-500k AUD pa) and only work 40% meaning I’d be on about 175-ish… and it’d be fine. Sadly I can’t see it happening any time soon.
Edit: I know I’m doing well, but I find work super draining and would love to work part-time.
I’m a senior manager at a pretty big company.
That’s something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.
Can people please not be cunts? (I’m an Aussie…)
Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there’s leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let’s take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that’s something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don’t deserve shame, or ridicule.
