I could explain further
Fascinating how you suddenly backtrack on this when actually being asked to explain further lol
- Comment on The Only Raygun Video You Will Ever Need To Watch [from an Australian breaker inside the competitive scene] 11 hours ago:
Like you literally said that you don’t understand my argument
Yes, that is what I just said. You had an opportunity just now to explain it, instead you typed up four sentences that achieved nothing other than to (I assume) make you feel like you’d “won” the argument.
- Comment on The Only Raygun Video You Will Ever Need To Watch [from an Australian breaker inside the competitive scene] 11 hours ago:
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to argue here. “Clickbate” is not a word.
- Comment on The Only Raygun Video You Will Ever Need To Watch [from an Australian breaker inside the competitive scene] 15 hours ago:
It’s always spelled that way. The word is clickbait, there is no such thing as “clickbate” and it’s nowhere near common enough of a misspelling to be considered an eggcorn.
- Comment on The Only Raygun Video You Will Ever Need To Watch [from an Australian breaker inside the competitive scene] 16 hours ago:
The word is “clickbait”, by the way.
- Comment on ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine 2 days ago:
I’m pretty sure Gillard’s was purely about domestic polling and had nothing to do with the US. There’s a TV series called ‘The Killing Season’ that interviewed a lot of the people involved. Thanks for the effort you put into explaining the two.
- Comment on ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine 2 days ago:
It doesn’t really matter if they’ll let her or not. She has zero power and is irrelevant, she can’t even control her own party. They are at best two election cycles away from reelection and there’s no way she’ll last till then. Even if she did, Trump will likely be dead or out of office and the Republican Party will be too busy with infighting to worry about Australian politics.
- Comment on ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine 2 days ago:
I doubt anyone in the US knows who Ley is or cares if she writes a letter to them. This is much more about her own political survival than Albanese’s
- Comment on ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine 2 days ago:
is a not-so-subtle plea to get America to coup Albanese like Rudd and Whitlam.
How would the US “coup” Albanese? I don’t see the connection to Rudd or Whitlam.
- Comment on Australians are in more pain – and our new data shows it’s not just due to ageing 2 days ago:
So, what are some of these factors?
Evidence suggests people have become more likely to report that they have pain.
But there is also a growing prevalence of chronic conditions in Australia, which are strongly linked to pain. Obesity rates have also increased, and we know obesity can increase physical pain, for example by putting more stress on joints.
- Comment on Australians are in more pain – and our new data shows it’s not just due to ageing 3 days ago:
The fact that people with a normal/healthy weight are a 1/3 minority in this country will never not be shocking to me. It doesn’t really feel like that when I’m outside but maybe that’s because I live in a major city or have become desensitised to it.
- Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for? 4 days ago:
Much longer than I should, although they are shorter in summer. Ignoring those short, extra showers after exercise or before going out, usually I just shower once in the morning. When I was younger I got into the habit of short showers due to the drought and water restrictions, but it has crept back up in adult life.

The person who replied to you had no idea what they were talking about. You were correct the first time.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Clearly you didn’t read the article either, because the journalist asking the questions is Jonathan Karl who works for the US ABC. You are talking about a completely separate incident and entirely different questions, and you would have known this if only you’d bothered to read the article or watch the embedded video.
- Comment on Why Keating’s greatest speeches still matter after the Voice failed 1 week ago:
You correctly point out some big numbers involved in current support for indigenous focussed programmes
Spending without proper consultation of Indigenous stakeholders is wasted money, and it’s not Indigenous Australians upon whom it reflects poorly. Every time right wingers bring up the spending it’s a massive own goal.on their part.
- Comment on Kim Beazley defends Australian War Memorial decision to exclude Ben Roberts-Smith book from prize 1 week ago:
It’s a bit wild they still have to call him an “alleged” war criminal, even after all the Ls he’s taken in court.
- Comment on Australians soon facing age checks when viewing adult websites 1 week ago:
The eSafety Commissioner was established under a Coalition government and age verification had bipartisan support at the most recent federal election.

- Comment on Too soon? 2 weeks ago:
Why didn’t he just edit out his death, like he did with all the debates he lost? Is he stupid?

Meanwhile my main memory is doing the macarena in the pool with floaties lol
- Comment on Myki v Opal: could Melbourne’s public transport ticketing system soon give Sydney’s a run for its money? 2 weeks ago:
It’s always amusing when Melbourne and/or Sydney are technologically backwards compared to smaller cities around Australia.
- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if my experience is unusual in Adelaide too. I’m not aware of many public primary schools that had their own swimming pools here back then. My primary school still doesn’t have one despite being much larger now, probably because it’s only a couple of hundred metres back from the beach. Their swimming “curriculum” still seems to be entirely comprised of annual lessons at the same swimming pool they sent us to when I was there.
- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 weeks ago:
When/how are they testing swimming ability? The article makes it sound like some sort of national standardised test, but I don’t recall ever being tested on this stuff in school.
In fact, school really didn’t play much of a part at all in my learning to swim. We never had “swim carnivals” until high school, and even then I was only required to attend and compete once.
Most of my swimming ability comes from private lessons at local pools and VACSWIM in the summer holidays, as well as lots of recreational swimming from growing up by the beach. Makes me wonder whether part of the problem here is that young families have been priced out of many coastal suburbs and are now moving further inland to find cheaper housing, increasing their reliance on school swimming lessons and private swim centres.
- Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like you want an ABS spreadsheet, not a news article.
- Comment on Who is telling the truth? 2 weeks ago:
Your question is irrelevant.
Dodging it again, I see.
They weren’t organised by neo-nazi.
This has already been debunked multiple times in this thread (or the others). Repeating your lie won’t make it true.
You guys need to stop pretending it does, all you’re doing is trying to convince yourself and again - turning everyday people against you.
Only one person is “against us” here. Learn to take an L champ.
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 2 weeks ago:
Definitely, although my understanding is that even places like student accommodation and aged care homes contribute to that figure.
- Comment on Record payout for victims of 'illegal and immoral' Australian welfare scheme 3 weeks ago:
In total, the redress scheme amounts to about $2.4bn. This includes $1.76bn in debts that were wiped and and money given back to victims who paid false debts.
Thursday’s announcement of an extra $475m in compensation is in addition to the $112m awarded in 2020, meaning a total of $587m.
Sounds like most of the money was illegal unpaid debt, so to call it taxpayer’s money is not really accurate. No one else should have had a claim to that money in the first place.
