Thanks for the correction, I lumped in other parties with independents.

Y'all have first past the post / winner takes all, don't you? There was a vote recently and "labor" won from what I'm reading?

We have a (ranked choice voting) preferential vote system. You number your choices (1-8 for house of rep and 1-6 or 1-12 for senate). If the absolute majority isn’t obtained on first count the preferences are distributed until a majority is gained and that majority forms government.

Labor, coalition, independents, etc. what kinds of parties are these?

Centre-left (progressive), centre-right (conservative) and varied respectively. Independents can be anything from legalise cannabis through Kitkat Palmers (billionaire) wannabe Trump party [wrong, I lumped alt parties in with independents]. Ranked choice allows for support of smaller parties but still picking one of the main two if it comes down to a close call.

I thought Albanese was a "cunt" yet his party seems to have won again? What's going on?

Im not a fan of Albanese due to him largely coasting on important issues; like housing but Im not aware of the broader population thinking he was a cunt. After Morison (deeply moronic conservative who was last PM) he got the job and at least was professional.

Problem is Dutton, the opposition leader just had that bad a platform. Marking yet another attempt for the coalition attempting to bring US/Trump bullshit over here, being a cop who’d disobey an international court warrant, nuclear power saga and in general just being super scarce on details for his plans as PM.

Even if I’m centre left inclined, the coalitions performance this cycle still somewhat disappointed me. A weak coalition means it’s more likely for a complacent Labor party.

Classic US. All that’s missing is a “mission accomplished” banner.

Also, can he not make a role for presidential makeup artist? Like damn, why even bother with a fake tan/bronzer/whatever if you can’t even bother to do it properly or all the way to your hairline. I was going to say “maybe don’t raise your pink hand beside your orange face” but that’s the least of his problems.

“How’s your pilot… to shred you say?”

Ok, fine. The carpet burns may have been harder to ignore than I initially implied.

I think pissing in the sink consistently is pretty gross. Unless you’re cleaning/disinfecting it thoroughly after and let’s be honest, if someone’s too lazy to walk to a toilet to piss; they ain’t doing that. It’s likely the idea of someone being a “sink pisser” is the bigger thing here, so finding out that your partner is one (a slob) is probably what led to the reaction.

Bringing up what you think about a partners reaction to something can happen later. Saying “it isn’t hurting anyone” is marginalising her feelings instead of understanding what lead to it and is unhealthy/unhelpful imo. It’s a cop out. I could scoot my bare arse across the carpet in lieu of toilet paper and say it isn’t hurting anyone (ignoring carpet burn). Wouldn’t make it not gross as fuck. That’s not to say she’s chosen the most effective method for voicing her issue but that’s an aside.

not sure what even to say in that moment

I’d suggest he start with apologising for pissing somewhere that is not the designated piss zone, aka a toilet and go from there.

Yeah it’s a bummer her cams don’t have audio so we can be sure. Surely she’s not getting done for attempt murder in the US of all places.

Have your main account set to filter out NSFW to avoid that content. Also, there is absolutely no shortage of that content on reddit lmao. At least when I was there anyway.

Responding “its not hurting anyone…” when your wife has this sort of reaction.

wife’s contact named “mrs”

Yikes.

“you cunt”

Confirmed Aussie and degen.

There is a language filter available

Holy shit you’re awesome. I must have missed this due to never using the site. Thanks!

The police should have definitely made more effort to identify themselves but they did a couple times before she racked the pistol. I don’t know why they would have opened on her for it since they clearly identified her as the resident of the property and not one of the suspects. That said I get going out with a gun if you see dudes peering over your fence but when they all start pointing guns at you and yelling at you to get down would you not at least go inside? I couldn’t really hear her due to the heli so maybe she couldn’t hear them.

Fair but also referring to Barcelona diving. Forgive my hyperbolic comment though I appreciate the post.
