Eh, I'm sure some people just want to make sushi for others, and that is it. /discovery, you get sushi now!

Is this one of those conversations Japa doesn't want to see? Because seriously, you don't mess with the Japa.

Na, our government would never do that! They would rather privatize the tax department, ensuring the wealthy never have to pay...

I know, it sounds crazy, but it is actually happening.

Fuck... God save anybody who didn't get out, because I wouldn't want to have to. Also unhappy to hear about that wind report, any new sentiment from fire fighters? Good, bad, horrible?

Today in: Max Whites war on the war on refugees.
Australia says sorry for illegally breaching Indonesians boarders, but don't worry, it wasn't the governments fault! Apparently the crew was just incompetent! You know, the same crew we have been reassured over and over are highly trained professionals and can be trusted to act in an ethical way even when witnesses say otherwise? Yea, those guys.
In the mean time, it has been confirmed that the Australian Navy has procured twelve large, solid hull life boats. Leaks suggest these boats are going to be supplied to crew of peoples smuggler vessels whose boats are unseaworthy so we can safely escort them to Indonesia, an highly illegal act under Indonesian law. No Australia, you are the people smugglers.

In the meantime, four refugees have attempted suicide while others resort to self harm, Morrison continues to refuse to comment on the basis that it will shit all over his reputation we don't need to know.

Want to hear Bryan Fischer talk about transgendered people and science? Of course you do.

Demons have to submit to a command that is uttered in the name of Jesus!

So that is how that bastard James Maxwell did it!

A friend of mine is in serious trouble. Apparently her mothers boyfriend, who they were both living with, is somewhat of a bastard. She didn't want to state outright, but I get the strong impression she suffered some form of sexual abuse, but either way it is very clear several forms of abuse happened. This boyfriend and her mother had some sort of argument and he kicked them both out, so now they are living in a womans shelter.
She told me about this today during my break when she came into work to tell our manager that she wouldn't be able to come in for a while. She is actually from Malaysia and apparently came here when something similar happened with her biological father. I spent a good half hour trying to convince her to go talk to the police, but she doesn't seem to think they will help. Can't blame her, coming from Malaysia I can see why she would have that impression of law enforcement, but over here there is a lot in her favor right now that she should be using right now...

I'm too fucking sober for this.

See, that's the knife edge.

Nobody should force them NOT to vote, they should CHOOSE not to vote, having determined themselves unsuitable to vote impartially.

But that's the rub-- incompetent people are notoriously bad at determining competency.

So you accept that politicians have the right to vote when they feel needed, and the right to not like homosexuality, but choosing to vote on a law that relates to homosexuality is incompetence.
Remember that politicians are public servants, they are there to work for you. You are their employer. When an employee shows incompetence, being unhappy with that isn't being intolerant, it is an assessment. As such, people aren't committing the logical fallacy of being intolerant of intolerance, they are giving a poor performance review.
