Careful with the idea that you’re a young country with limited history. Your indigenous peoples may view the matter (rightfully) quite differently.

In Australia we actually changed the lyrics to our national anthem a few years back. It did say “…we are young and free”. Which is a bit of a ‘fuck you’ to the people who have lived on and cared for the land for upwards of 50,000 years. So it’s now “we are one and free”.

I’m not chastising you, just prompting you to think about things differently.

What do you mean by poor? As in ‘shit’ or that they’d be cut off from resources/at the mercy of neighbouring trade etc?

-/genuine interest in what you mean, not snark

No, guns are for maiming and killing living things. I didn’t grow up in the bush or in a rural area, so there was no need to shoot anything.

Had my parents raised me around guns in suburbia then I would have categorised them as reckless fuckwits.

Because who in their right mind keeps guns anywhere near children? That’s absurd. To think that’s normal is institutionalised, cult-thought.

What country/region is this? If you don’t mind me asking

That’s so silly

No one expects the Spanish inquisition

If your shower routine is standing under water and just washing your stinky bits, chances are your body is still covered in sun screen. That stuff is designed to stay on in water. You need to properly wash yourself all over with soap/body wash and use a loofah. That will remove the sunscreen and also exfoliate dead skin.

It’s worth it

I read half the article (got the gist and yeah it’s very true and very funny) but bowed out because of the infestation of ads on that site.

I hate this internet

Play it, Sam. You piece of shit.

We’ll always have Paris, you piece of shit.

Get busy living, or get busy dying. You piece of shit

I honestly can’t stop laughing - why is this stupid idea so funny

Here you go:

You’re not stupid, just incorrectly informed. And smart enough to question that. That makes you waaaay smarter than the average person.

It’s really funny that you’ve chosen a male name for the only female character

I literally don’t understand the relationships in his comment. I simply can’t get my head around it

This is what I’m calling it from now on.

Just an FYI incase they weren’t typos but the word you’re after in the first and last paragraph is ‘loses’; the one in the second para is correct.

I’ve used very similar techniques on men in bars who don’t think no is a complete sentence.

I’m well past the age for shame. I will make a fool of myself if it means some twerp will think twice about harassing a woman who’s repeatedly turned them down

I’d never considered doing the same for scammers - great idea! I’m just overly polite and that makes me seem like a target I think.

It was a general use of the word cholesterol - no concept was defined

The way they’re referred to being interchangeable does not alter the fact that they’re different.

It’s worth knowing they’re different and checking with a recruiting manager which one they mean. I check because I know people do, incorrectly, think they’re the same thing.

It’s wise to have both on hand and up to date.
