While no city has solved the problem of manspreading

There it is. Another woman who doesn’t understand there are physiological reasons men sit the way they do, yes for comfort.

Being uncomfortable is not a requirement for using public transport.

Yea Im not surprised by Pocock after his first term, he has been very impressive and gained lots of positive media and respect from the public.

You better tell the reserve bank and most economists that rates don’t impact inflation, it would be some rather ground breaking news.

In the current economic climate that would probably just kickstart inflation all over again.

I’m hoping for a gradual decrease to 2-2.5%

I made note of the pharmacies that ran that propaganda with signs with scare tactics on them and refuse to use any of them.

You can basically get the cheapest plan around and try to use whatever benefits it does provide.

I went with a non-profit.

I’m on a similar income and live in the highest cost of living part of the country, so I have to ask, how is it you’re unable to buy?

I bought my house this year and granted it took a while saving up but with our income this high the mortgage barely registers. Early days but we’re on track to pay off the home in under 10 years.

Guards should not be able to deny water.

If an inmate is being wasteful then water could be supplied another way but there is no circumstance where denying water is just.

The cell logs sound exactly like the kind of lazy cunts I expect to be working as a guard.

This is probably a much better source of info, but from what I can see length isn’t a consideration.

For some reason I thought it was 7.5cm but length isn’t mentioned here at all. Still having a valid reason means the majority of knives are fine, exceptions being something like a stilleto knife which has no valid use in peace time.

You aren’t allowed to carry a knife above a certain length without a valid reason.

I’ve carried much larger knives without any issue because I had a valid reason. Even a machete is fine if you’re actually using it for its intended purpose.

To be honest it REALLY sounds like you support the law

I am leaning towards not sterlising minors being a good thing because it is a life altering decision that Im not convinced a minor can make.

If you can’t be trusted to responsibly consume alcohol how can you be trusted to choose to be sterilised?

if you cared about factual reporting you would have also released the policy memo

I don’t follow US politics closely enough to be aware of the memo but I did read about the actual policy that was passed. As for banning puberty blockers, that isn’t what was passed by 81 Democrats.

I'm in a country with universal healthcare and laws play very little role in the practice of medicine.

Name the country and I will disprove your claim. Healthcare is always political, from the structure (public vs private) to what care is legal.

It's pretty intellectually dishonest to frame doctors as mad scientist lobotomists barely restrained by a set of laws

It is even more dishonest to ignore history, the people who suffered and the progress that was made largely through changes to laws. Sometimes as a result of activism or protest.

you've got a lot of backwards conservative/incel beliefs

That’s amusing, Im married with children, vote left and support Unions

"tax dollars not spent to directly benefit YOU are a waste"

Wrong. Government spending that doesn’t benefit society as a whole is wasteful. There are never enough funds to sort every problem out and the particular topic you’re referring to here was a change by a centre left government that I support.

But you don't care that laws aren't what's doing the protecting in those situations.

Go open a history book. That’s exactly what the laws are doing. You talk like someone with zero understanding of how governments work, or the history that has shaped governments and the systems they govern.

Huh, I actually read that claim in a journal, TIL
