  You know what would be the biggest help for victims of domestic violence? Increasing JobSeeker (and in turn Parenting Payment), increase rent assistance, and have funds available for people fleeing domestic violence. The one thing that kept me from fleeing my ex was money, as abusive partners know controlling the money controls the victim #auspol #dv

  My ex-partner is weird as fuck sometimes. We have a rule, we need to meet each other's boy/girlfriends before the kids can hang out with them. A simple rule, just to get a read of the person, catch their vibe, and know whether we're comfortable with it. It's been in place for like 8 years now, and I've met one dude. Most I've never met, purely because she's like "fine, I just won't introduce them to the kids". Suddenly she's got a serious boyfriend, a...

  One of the biggest myths, that most countries still buy into, is the noble warrior. War is horrific, anyone who participates in it is not noble, and not a warrior. They are state sanctioned murderers, and that's not to diminish what soldiers do, it's just a reality, and it bears heavily on many soldier's mind. Dad almost threw himself off his apartment in Bangkok in the 2010's, 60-odd years after his combat. The horror of war makes no one a hero, no one noble....

  Only on an Aussie server: I unload my double barrel next to a squadmate, and he says over local voice chat "what the fuck is that, cunt?". And I immediately know he's so impressed he has to know what it is, and how to get it "double barrel, grenadier level 7". "Thanks cunt, I'll grind that next" I'm surprised so many Americans play on our servers, with our liberal use of that word #gaming

  This does make me reflect on my NVA grenadier loadout. It's basically what would be classed as hunting gear these days, and way more effective than the M16A1: double barrel and a Mosin-Nagant

  Adi Dassler was forced to be a Nazi. Adidas these days are Nazis by choice.

  The current reaction to fascists and Nazis by police and politicians are teaching every climate change or social justice protester where they went wrong. Wear black, be violent, especially against the police. You will literally get the law changed that way, as fascists have, and no other. Gluing your hands to roads or throwing paint on stuff will just get you terrorism charges. Actual terrorism, though, works

  Gotta love how "financial literacy" guides are all: Step 1: have money Step 2: don't spend it Step 3: plan ahead Literally three things poor people don't have/can't do

  The latest fight in "tut tutting kids" is "schools need a digital detox". Yeh, nah, my kids use computers at school, and at home, and are top students in the school. It's not the computers. It's not even school. Parents just don't engage with their kids, so why they hell would they engage at school?

  This is just getting ridiculous. There's an implied right to political communication in Australia. If you don't like it, you can move to Israel where there's no right to political communication. Why does "Free Palestine" frighten these Zionists so much? It's kinda weird they're never challenged on this. All I does is show this Antisemitism Royal Commission for the joke it is #auspol

  Wow, this is bad. Not only are the country of origin labels outright lies, they're importing this stuff from Xinjiang: Leggo's, Coles and Aldi selling Chinese tomatoes as 'Australian' and 'Italian' in products, forensic testing finds https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-27/australian-tomatoes-leggos-coles-aldi-chinese-tests-show/106940742 #auspol

  As an Aussie, it's frustrating seeing the amazement in what fires can do in Europe. Black Summer (2019/20) was horrific here, and all we got was clickbait, no real change

  Fucking horrific. This is what the right means when they "don't want queer shit in our face". It's not unexpected from Germany right now, leaning heavily into the far right, which, for most of the world, is a serious worry.

  "Labor Friends of Israel" showing who they are. After the conference acts today, all I can say is Labor is lost. Don't bother voting for them. They're pro-genocide.

  Oh god, Israel has no right to exist. There is no codified right to a country to exist. Don't like it? I'm sure there's other planets with more forgiving political climates for you to perpetrate this lie. Unfortunately they don't have physical climates conducive to life. Every time I hear "Israel has a right to exist" I think "Did Yugoslavia? What about Rhodesia? Maybe Nazi Germany? Or Prussia? Where does that line get drawn of "right to exist"?"...

  Hearing an American Democrat go on about how Israel is really good at missile defence, thus why they need to integrate their "defence" forces is hilarious. The best form of missile defence is to not have all your neighbours shooting missiles at you. Then, you need to intercept 99.999%. Israel barely breaks 90%. Missile defence is an oxymoron. You have missile deterrence, but that's it. Missiles will strike, and the more you get people to fire them at you, the more will definitel...

  If there's anything we can learn from the current AI slopfest it's that prescriptive learning, testing, and assignments, are useless now. The only way to assess students is what my father fought his career in the ILO to introduce: instructor lead learning with continual assessment. No tests, no assignments, just someone assisting your learning and assessing your progress as you go. Not to fail you, but to help you learn better
