I'm guessing that English is not your first language? To talk shit about someone means to say negative things about them, it doesn't necessarily mean using any swear words.

Chaining someone to a job sounds more like indenture than strong labour laws.

But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.

This made slightly less sense before I remembered that manga is supposed to be read right to left.

 

As long as I'm enjoying myself it's not a bad thing, right?

 

Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

 
 

Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it's to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it's got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal questions and getting terrible hot takes and badly Googled answers in reply.
