Wait, is that Scary German Guy? Who is that?
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

If I have to explain one more time that the Second Amendment isn't a fucking thing in Australia, I'm going to shoot someone. Ironically.

Who are you having to explain this to?

@derp Stupid Australians. My colleagues, students, et cetera.

The power is still out, with no ETA on restoration.
Look, fuckers, we are still in the zone of the super sekrit DuPont weather satellite you will never convince me doesn’t exist at this juncture because we have nothing but a magical sparkly frost coating on the landscape here and thar despite a blizzard pounding down on us yesterday. We were just outside without winter coats on to seek food. Power? Never on this half of the block.
P.S. I think my neighbor across the road is John McClane. Mid-ice blizzard, in 40-50mph winds, he was chainsawing his downed trees in half to get them out of the road. (No, this is not what took down the power lines.)
ETA: well, “maybe by 11pm Monday”. You GTFO with that.
Oh fucking well.

@tinuviel Yeah, I do see a good bit of that online. Miranda rights, first and second amendments... probably comes from watching too much American TV.
And hey, rate we're going, the role of "cultural hegemon of the Anglosphere" just might be looking for applicants. Wanna see if third time's the charm?

That sucks!
We lost our power yesterday but it was only out for about 5 hours. Thank God for laptops with long battery life, cell phones and charger packs!

@insomniac7809 We also get a fair few mentions of the fifth amendment. As in "I plead the fifth"... that isn't a thing here. Sure, you can't be compelled to testify against yourself, but we don't call it that. Stop being American.

Whereas here in the US I hear stuff like 'I wish I lived in Australia, they only pay <#> per gallon for gas'
Okay first of all there's this thing called an exchange rate. Second of all, they go by liters...
We just need to swap all of these people, apparently.
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

Please, no. Trump is spending all this time on illegal immigration when what he should be concentrating on is encouraging illegal emigration.

I've actually heard this a lot from people who obviously have no idea just how difficult it is to immigrate to Australia.

Right?
Or the "they get everything free in Australia! And everything is cheaper!" and all about how they're going to immigrate.And then a few weeks later you stop hearing about it. I generally assume that's around when they actually read up on immigration.

@auspice You must sacrifice your first born child and pay three pigs, one goat, seven cows, sixteen pure wool fleeces, and a turnip. Then you can begin the application process.

And love waaaaay expensive video games.

Our apartment complex has a playground. There are parks in town.
Take your children to one of them. Please.
The playing right outside my front door on a day I feel like shit is grating on me. Especially when it turns into screaming and wailing that is indicative of either an argument or one of them being hurt and a parental figure is nowhere to be found.

It’s a good thing I love to cook, because on my lazy nights when I make breakfast dinner, with feeding 3 growing teens and a preschooler tonight we went through:
*A gallon of milk
*8 eggs plus 1/2 cup milk, scrambled
*A bag of grapes, and a large carton each of strawberries and blueberries
*A double batch of pancakes
*1.5 lbs of bacon
*5# of potatoes hashedThis took less than 45 minutes to consume, even with lively conversation.
Maybe once the older three areto college/trade school/entry level jobs in 3 years I can get work as a cook for farmhands.

Jesus Christ, who are you cooking for, the Gronkowskis?
