OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Good. Wollongong should totally go skyrise and do no more sprawling out of the existing urban line.

There’s literally nowhere to sprawl in Wollongong CBD, hasn’t been for about 50 or 60 years.

However, we all have to negotiate our own path to when the the day of our demise comes. Affordable care, living with relos, dodgy aged care? Life shows no mercy.

Ancient American Indians would put the elderly who were unable to contribute to the tribal conditions on an iceberg - Load them up with mushies/pyotes and send them on a spiritual journey to meet the gods. As the iceberg melted they basicaly were taken by the spirit world.

This guy on twitter pokes fun at the yanks from time to time. Funny thing is that they think he's the actor from Star Wars and Taken.

Let me tell you. If I'm in the position where someone else is wiping my arse then it's time to call it a day.

Are you Boss Baby?!?!?

Albo has given hope for all failed MPs

Huh...? Relevency to the post you quote responded to was...

Huh...? Relevency to the post you quote responded to was...

Albo is a failed career politician who became PM it gives anyone hope..

If it makes you any better and not grrrrr you be attacking my ideology.. Scomo 2 was also a failed MP who became PM.

So for Taylor there is hope! (Probably not but hey you need dreams)

It's a bit like saying that "he was a failed banker, but became CEO of Westpac", but you do you.

I told my linguistics professor I struggle with pragmatics.
She said, “Can you give me an example?”
I said, “Yes.”

So you can't and are trying really hard to twist it..

It’s a classic framing tactic:
My beliefs = values, common sense, normality.
Your beliefs = ideology, extremism, contamination.

It's really junk psychology used to slur people. Do better.

You probably should...

Wasn't much of a career failure if he became PM... you're not making a lot of sense.

If it makes you any better and not grrrrr you be attacking my ideology.. Scomo 2 was also a failed MP who became PM.

Again, regardless of ideology I don't know where the claim about failed MP comes from there either - Scomo achieved the (his?) dream of being PM too. Sure, unlike Albo, Scomo failed at being PM - but he wasn't a failed Mp before that.

So for Taylor there is hope! (Probably not but hey you need dreams)

Now Taylor is a bit of a failure as an MP... but he's ended up the highest he can be - given the LNP were routed so badly they'll be in opposition for an eternity.
