You could bring some artificial turf, a picket fence, some pink flamingos, go with the normcore 50s look like that guy did a few years back.

Think museum curator, not book warehouse owner. They have to make complex decisions involving knowledge about knowledge.

Trust fund kid.

Toilet paper with Trump’s face on it.

That’s how lots of Australians come here. My best friend is originally from Michigan, he came here in high school, and recently gave up his US citizenship because we can all see what’s going to happen.

And mandatory voting, and preferential voting, an independent electoral commission…

Albo is a centrist wanker, thanks very much. Very much like a Democrat before Reagan.

Friend of mine once lived in a rental house that had black mold with his wife and kid. The landlord had done precisely jack shit for those three years. They kept getting lung conditions and stuff, and my friend tried to clean it himself, but it always came back.

Then one day his wife had a series of strokes during a particularly intense bout of the chronic lung shit they all got when the weather was wet.

She’s blind now. Suffered brain damage. Different personality, loss of cognitive ability, an irate shell of her former self. This woman who once had a 200 grand job in the Commonwealth public service. The marriage did not survive.

My friend is now looking after his kid mostly as a single dad in a smaller but mold-free apartment in a cheaper suburb.

The Canberra rental market is insane, and that landlord deserves arson.

Lila exists only in your own head.

However, so do you.

Mask you wear that inflates you slightly like a balloon when you sleep so you don’t suffer from periods of not breathing during the night.

Sleep apnoea is the name of the condition it treats.

It is quite nice to treat it. It may reduce the amount of days you wake up and feel like you never slept.

Sleep apnoea also increases risk of heart attack and stroke.

Lots of things are poisonous before we process them, including many things we’ve been eating almost since the discovery of fire.

There have been a bunch of great answers already, but I’m not seeing one important factor: soy farmers. Soy is one of the cheapest sources of protein, and there’s a lot of it grown, so the soy lobby is always trying to push new uses for it.

Yep. Jars of fibre! It’s a horrifying corporate grift, but it’s also great for chronic fatigue perverts like me who cannot spend much energy on cooking most of the time. It does help.

Shut the fuck up. Go to SE Asia and tell them nobody ate oil from crushed up seeds 150 years ago. Goddamn.

Not fascists. Fascists need expansionist military conquest for the regime to survive. When authoritarian communism goes bad, it’s able to survive by The Revolution. The Revolution justifies any act, no matter how brutal and misguided.

Fascism justifies itself through conquest and extermination of “lesser peoples”, like the Slavs or the Palestinians.

Well, that’s some blatant racism. Fascinating that Lemmy is a refuge for that. Political opponents of China, clean up your yard!

Yep, and they lost.

Yeah. It’s just common sense and good judgement. Which, strangely, is somewhat lacking in the majority of criminals who get caught.

Haha, fuck yeah, but also nah, it’s all a bit of biff mate, better to throw hands than lock up a bastard. Unfortunately the leaders do both.

No, you get next month. Check the cork board.
