My opinion is that men who think men are being attacked for their masculinity are misogynists who think that because they speak nicely to their wife/mother/daughter they are nice guys and all the toxic stuff the tolerate and/or do is just boys being boys.

We need to start sending these cunts back to the Stone Age. Queensland could be first but they seem to be blinded by the fight against a racist bogey man that doesn’t exist “youth crime”
- Comment on New car buyers driven to white or grey, with bright colours rarer than ever, data shows 3 months ago:
I use to have a yellow car. I think the less accidents is because drivers of yellow cars have to be more vigilant. The number of people who would just pull out in front of me when driving the yellow car as opposed to the other car I had, which was white, was ridiculous.

- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 7 months ago:
It’s a chicken and egg situation. However if the media were more concerned with journalism than audience metrics. I think the bullshit might have less standing in the eyes of the public.
- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 7 months ago:
The worst thing about this ‘plan’ is the media treating it like it’s an actual real thing that will actually happen if the LNP get in power.

Well technically a bigfin squid has never met a human, but you know those 4-8 metre long arms are just made for hugging so if they ever did meet one that lucky human is in for one big squish.

A bit shit? Mate I had many long painful arguments about the quality of God Emperor back in the day on Usenet, alt.something.something.dune, The lengths people went to defend it made me realise it’s not just a bit shit, it’s a lot shit, but maybe, deliberately so.
- Comment on The later books are really something 10 months ago:
Become a worm, to do what your father was too scared to. Rule as a tyrant for a thousand years to fundamentally shake shit up and keep shit shook up. Die. Shit comes back as if nothing ever happened.
