  1. I like to imagine there is a transcendental dimension that goes beyond the physical and that is the last infinite frontier and that plugging into it would zero individual consciousness. Or maybe not
  2. I think we should all put aside our differences and laugh at Stuttgart for selling or releasing all of these players too early Bernd Leno Serge Gnabry Timo Werner Antonio Rudiger Joshua Kimmich Thilo Kehrer Sebastian Rudy
  3. I don't approve of how what happened to a lot of Indigenous people is retroactively Australia's fault (Australia did do a lot of wrong but not before it existed) and no fault is given to the British. I've never seen anything but a condescending colonial attitude from the British government towards Australia in 119 years of existence, and it's reflected today in cultural attitudes. The Rudd government took responsibility for the Stolen Generation in 2008 and directly addressed that what happened was wrong and on behalf of those perpetuated those crimes apologised on national television. My favourite is post WW1 the British government expected Australia to pay interest on a 'debt' accrued from Australia joining Britain's war, strictly purchasing weapons from the British to aid the British war-economy, and dying for the British. The debt would have resulted in Australia's economy collapsing and caused a near civil war to erupt from tension between the NSW government and the federal government. I'd say 3% of the male population of Australia being a casualty in a foreign war is debt paid. Cannon fodder and a purse to pinch from, that is the British legacy.
  4. I'm not paying an offensive amount of money for a degree that is worthless in an economy that has people with Bachelor's working at retail.
  5. You know that is demonstrably false and that is all the Libs do and will ever do.
  6. I know nothing about Wollongong, I imagine it is just Toowoomba on the NSW coast.
  7. Every few months I look into schooling or learning but I don't understand how it works in the USA, it's too fucking expensive, and most of the people I work with already have degrees and they doing the same job as me. People with degrees or some set of skills only earn one or two more dollars than me. WTF?
  8. I take it that is where you live? I'm not opposed to live in a smaller town outside of a larger city, preferably in QLD though, north of Brisbane would be ideal. Illlawarra is too far south for me, but I'd definitely choose it over getting shot in Chicago and having to go through another fucking miserable winter with five hours of sunlight a day and I want to kill myself because it is -20'. More mines than the rest of Ausmineia.
  9. Of course, I just wanted to bellyache about it because apparently it is 'news' now. Also thanks Libs for ass-ramming me with negative-gearing and property price skyrocketing pretty much making it impossible for me to move back to my own home country because I can't afford to own and in some cases even rent a decent property to live. I don't wanna live in Sydney's suburban sprawl.
  10. Fuck me dead Scomo as a the leader of a superpower is a horrifying thought

  12. Honey, the USA was ruined long before I arrived
  13. CONGRATULATIONS AUSTRALIA YOU'VE OFFICIALLY ENTERED A RECESSION, THOUGH I'M SURE THAT THE GREAT ECONOMIC MANAGERS DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO PREVENT IT @Devil-Dick Willie @Harry @Toinho I leave the country for five fucking years and you cunts let them ruin it. I'm gonna have to make a three stop visit next time, I'm home to teach you blokes a lesson in painenomics
  14. Speaking of China, they are detaining Australian citizens. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-31/australian-detained-in-china-television-anchor-cheng-lei/12615362
  15. You know I feel bad for Marco van Ginkel, every time it looks like his career is getting back on track his knees explode. I get the feeling the only reason that Chelsea keep him around is out of some pity that they don't want to release a player that needs knee surgery.
  16. Mount will start over Havertz. Being Lampard's illegitimate son is why.
  17. One of my deepest shames of Australia, this isn’t new knowledge this has been a palpable outcome for my entire life. But of course it is better to piss in the wind then admit being wrong. I imagine two years of Campbell Newman introduced to decades worth of hate into the reef. A shame that QLD was strong armed by Bjelke-Petersen for two decades, I couldn’t imagine him being the premier today. If only strict regulations were implaced through the 60s to the 80s.

    Did you know Australia and the UK (and Australia) almost went to war in the 1930s? The British Government was pressuring the Australian Government to repay the 'debt' of the military supplies given to Australian to help in WW1. So the UK asks Australia to help with their war, gives them equipment to facilitate involvement, and then expects to be paid back for everything. The Prime Minister wasn't a powerful office at the time and had his hands full with the NSW Premier Jack Lang that outright refused to pay the 'debt' the UK, stating that it was illegal as it would reduce the Australian economy and people to 'slaves' of the UK. The PM was allied with the UK and had the (weakened) military on his books, but Jack Lang had the police on his books, leading to staunch confrontations that luckily never ended in violence. I cannot stress how close the country came to collapsing over this crisis, Lang's actions of moving state money into holding of a private bank (to prevent being funds being paid to the UK) were deemed illegal and his government was dissolved, but not without half of Sydney protesting the result.
