Yeah well no-one comes to Australia for the culture, which is just a second rate derivative of British culture, it's mainly for economic reasons or for education if neither then for nature like beaches and shit. There is no such thing as an 'Australiaboo' unless they're weird nationalists

>>307112
I prefer Brisbane to Sydney and Melbourne but the culture is lacking if you don't have a clique.

>AUKUS is a disaster for Australia
It means that any conflict with China involves us being able to perform assisted, undetectable retaliatory strikes, making any step toward conflict less desirable for China. The US wants to scrap the deal because they want to build their own ships now and don't want to spend the time and money to invest in expanding their shipbuilding.

>Albanese’s immigrant voters
Labor is the only elected party that attempted to restrict immigration. Liberals and Greens united to vote against it.

>>308753
except why would China want to attack Australia of all places?

>>308758
To enforce whatever maritime borders they want. They've been doing it for the past 20 years and are only speeding up in their progress because no one can call them on it. Without the ability to perform retaliatory strikes, the calculus of escalating to an armed conflict of any scale is a simple one; they can hit us, and we can't do anything about it. Once we have that ability, then any escalation has to be worth having their strategic assets destroyed. The CCP would gladly trade the lives of a few sailors caught in the initial volley before we're missile spammed into oblivion for the $3.6 billion our fishing industry is worth each year. They probably wouldn't make the same decision if doing so would guarantee the loss of their sub pens, shipyards and island airbases.

It's a stupid hat.

>>307948
Next time, before you do something stupid like this, just think to yourself: "What would Andrea Dworkin do?".

tell him to stop watching porn

My go to is coke zero because coke is usually on sale. I do like pepsi zero more.
I also like coke zero cherry.

>"diet" anything
Tbh, you're better off drinking regular soda than anything with artificial sweeteners. Soda is not something you should be drinking all the time anyway, it should be a once in a while treat.

What about sucralose?

>>308656
Years ago I learnt that it's something like this
>Aspartame
>doesn't make you hungry/crave good but it's pretty poisonous
>Sucralose
>is pretty safe but will make you feel hungrier because of the way it tricks the brain
I personally stick to sucralose and tough it out, like, I recognize that that hunger isn't real and continue focusing on whatever I was doing, much better than whatever the fuck aspartame has going on

>>308676
So is Sucralose better than Sugar?

>>272906
Can I just eat it without any dollars?

>>272906
I already do it without getting paid

I'd do it for free, honestly.

>>272906
I'd eat it with bread but otherwise nah, it's too calorie dense and the texture is blah

Would you?

EARTH IS THE SUPERIOR PLANET

>>307687
Earth is the best. That's why I choose to live on it.

Venus obviously, but really I like Neptune because its blue and seems like a massive ocean ball even if it's uninhibitable, otherwise I'd choose Europa but that's a moon.

>>308662
Yeah, I would like to live there one day.

>>307516
I like Jupiter the best

if they are able to pull this off I will be surprised. they have to rewrite everything starting from scratch and based on the leaks they were running on code from over a decade ago. I doubt anyone on the team now even knows how to do it. If they’re cutting corners just to get back up faster, they’re retarded, because they’re just going to immediately get hacked again

>>307030

hope the hackers removed it tbdesu

Americans don't care if the USA is a police state, but Americans lose their minds if North Korea has tyranny.

>>307044
Did they?

>>308652
This isn't relevant to the thread

Yes and yes.

>>308524
Not necessarily. I had people I'd see every day when going to college, or to my japanese/french classes, and even though we regularly had nice talks, shared life stuff from time to time, worked on projects together, and sometimes even go eat out all together, it was that sort of superficial and kinda awkward niceness that immediately ends when the lesson/outing is over. Like yeah, I got along nicely but we never clicked as friends or ever talked outside of said setting, and once it was done it was done, as if we had never met at all.

no, it sounds like these people have never really been friends to begin with.

>>308551
It's a necessary evil, that hopefully something comes of it but majority of the time it will be as you described, I think that is an aspect of romantic relationships, to have a friend that you're around 24/7, I think that is why there is alot of unhappy couples, is that they don't have the friendship foundation just the romantic aspect or worse, the one of convenience. Ultimately the passion will fade.

>>308522
Real friendship is very rare, possibly only once in a lifetime, if ever. Most "friends" are really just acquaintances that you see frequently.

I forgive no one, not even the supposedly innocent. Everyone is my enemy.

Abusing children (physically or verbally)

Mostly because I will lose my last bit of sanity if I have to face the fact some family members may actually be bad people.

forgiveness…guilt…legal punishment…

these are all just concepts to subjugate and colonize you.

yall are just a bunch of 60 year old christians in the body of 20 to 40 year old christians…

if someone does something to you that you didn't want then that person does not believe in consent. it is simple as that. there are different levels of how non-consensual it was, murder, rape, entrapment, pranks, theft, stalking, whatever. the person doesn't care if you want it and the person believes the end justifies the means and probably when they see violence going on they think that's sexy and their bodyparts get all lubricated or engorged or tingly and you bunch of victims need to understand that this doesn't work.

when you are into consent and the people around you aren't because for example they have a job where they just treat people like objects, then there is never going to be peace with that person. it will never work out.

stop wasting your precious young lives with all these rapists you dummies. get them away from you, you are their fuel.

FYI: It is spelled "scot-free", coming from the old english word sceot for a type of tax.

I can forgive any criminal of any crime, so long as I'm not the victim.

are you happy with your situation? what do you do to socialize?

i'm not really in the same type of boat as you but i haven't held a single friendship for a while now, about seven years. i just want you to it's going to be ok eventually for the both of us, and we'll have lots and lots of friends. please don't feel worried about this situation you are in

imagine having friends in the big 25 omegaskull

Since high school, I don't think I've had someone whom I would call a friend.

>>307682
Take up teaching while you look for more engineering focused jawbssss

At the moment… very unemployed. I had a shit customer service job but quit a few months ago cause of severe anxiety, now I'm struggling through having no income! Maybe one day when I get more help for my condition, until then I'm lost, hoping to one day find my passion

>>307935
Ma'am the questions was "What's your job like?"

>>308555
sounds pretty comfy ngl

One of the reasons the US is collapsing now is that Americans think that decay will be stopped by becoming Fascists and Communists. Americans think the US will be improved by expanding wars, increasing the debt, and adding more tyranny when the reason the USA is crashing is because the US has wars, is in debt, and has a police state.

Americans say that they love freedom, but then they turn around and say they need the government to give them free Obamacare, build a wall, protect the US from Yemen, wiretap their phones, arrest people for feeding the homeless, stop farmers from plowing fields, force people to get rid of dogs, ban vaping, and torture suspects.

Every country has the government it deserves.
