People getting brake and break mixed up annoys me, but I get it. If this is you, your car has brakes and you take a break from work after breaking your arm.

Almost certainly not. It’s common in some communities for people to write their own image transcriptions.

Spot on!

Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

This time it isn’t (I think)

Australian white ibises. They’re kinda like the Australian equivalent to a raccoon in the US; they eat rubbish and their roosts stink because they tend to congregate in a single tree and then shit everywhere. But they are quite unique looking birds: long beaks, black heads and white plumage. So the tourists find them quite interesting and the locals call them bin chickens.

I’m always kinda impressed when people can fill silence with a lot of words without actually managing to say anything.

Wait wait wait what? This sounds interesting. Please elaborate

They have their pros and cons. I wore a uniform to a public school (Australia) and it definitely meant that I had one less thing to worry about every day: being judged by what I wore. As an adolescent that meant a lot, and getting the freedom to wear whatever as an adult has meant that:

1. I got to learn what’s appropriate before I got that freedom and

2. I had the maturity to not care what others thought about how I dressed.

Can’t remember what the article was, but it was a local one for an area I don’t live in (I think it was a Canadian one). Anyway, ate the onion in a large discord server I had just joined. I was mostly just trying to become part of the community. Nobody corrected me for a couple of hours until some smug bastard said something along the lines of “…at least I know it’s a satiric publication.”

Development approval, required by a council before you build something

Fun fact: you don’t need a DA for these*, so they are a hell of a lot cheaper to install. *Subject to jurisdiction

I know a guy like this. He’s a great guy, very competent, gives up his time for his community. Drives his Audi like a cunt though.

Blue. I wouldn’t change much about my life rn, but an extra 10mil would be awesome.

Now there’s a kind of open relationship I can get behind!

Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic

Lemmy is like Reddit, but with an even greater concentration of Linux and FOSS nerds, so the likelihood is extremely low.

Hey, I’ve heard this one before!

It’s rare and valuable and necessary, that’s why we should only be allowed one.

The Yes campaign did a shit job of publicising it though. I’ve consistently heard that people were told to educate themselves which is generally a bad way of getting someone to agree with you when the opposition is all to happy to fill in the gaps with disinformation. The fact that we are still telling people why the wording was vague should be enough to tell you that the Yes campaign failed.
