I said eggs not butchering them for meat !!!
Explain yourself.

Maybe feed the scraps to chickens then eat their eggs? Seems cleaner and easier.
I would much rather that than eating someone else’s roats lamb from a month ago, even if it were “processed” (I guess you mean dehydrated ?)

- Comment on Up votes and down votes tend to move a site toward being an echo chamber. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but sorting by new is not a good experience either.
Letting the site choose what we see with an algorithm is also awful.
Not sure what the answer is.

“Don’t see how, Senator Malcom Roberts from (One Nation} said climate chahe doesn’t exist and they’re super popular in the polls.”
It’s disturbing how popular a person or party can get just by telling people what they want to hear.
- Comment on The longer I'm alive, the more I feel that people make things complicated to feel important. 4 weeks ago:
Yes. They also use buzzwords to cover up the fact they don’t know what they are talking about. They tell you the wrong information and then say “I never said that” later. Their mistakes are miscommunications, yours are sabotage. They cover themselves and throw someone else under the bus because most people are cowards. They will change their mind constantly but expect you to be dependable.
And we are meant to smile and accept it all.

You are a really good writer considering English is not your first language!
Have you considered writing as a job? It suits some people more than traditional office jobs do. Problem is how to make enough off it.

I have a story of when I “ran away” from home when I was 6 year old due to sibling violence… I mean honestly you can just search through my profile and find a lot of stuff.
Are those siblings with you today?
I will look for the story.

Why?

- Comment on 'It was agony': Grandparents injured in Sydney anti-Herzog protest 1 month ago:
Because they could.
The parallels to the past are striking! I have just been reading about Joh Belke-Peterson and it is eerie the way the past appears to be repeating:
1971 Springbok Tour & Secret Deals: In response to anti-apartheid protests, Bjelke-Petersen declared a month-long state of emergency, giving police extended powers. Evidence, including revelations in the book Three Crooked Kings, showed Bjelke-Petersen made a secret deal with the police union, promising officers they would not be penalized for any actions taken to suppress demonstrators.
- Comment on 'It was agony': Grandparents injured in Sydney anti-Herzog protest 1 month ago:
Worth highlighting I think:
"The protest also fell within a designated area declared a “major event” under state legislation, which gives police expanded powers to move protesters on and search people for the duration of Herzog’s visit. It extinguished the ability for anybody who alleges they were the victim of any tortious acts by police to sue the state. Lawrence added: “There will be no civil liability, because under the Major Events Act declaration, all civil liability is extinguished.”

“I was at the rally, it was peaceful and loving, and then the police decided we couldn’t leave but then they decided we couldn’t stay either and they just started assaulting people. I got pushed so hard my feet left the ground after I told them I was a member of parliament and then I got shoved so hard in my chin…”

- Comment on Through the heatwave haze, the hypocrisy of Australia’s fossil fuel policy shines bright | Adam Morton | The Guardian 1 month ago:
Did you know that in Australia 44% of adults (roughly 7.3 to 9 million people aged 15-74) do not possess the literacy skills necessary for everyday life and work.
Since the OECD’s Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) began in 2000, Australian 15-year-olds have shown a steady, significant decline in reading literacy.
Why is this? Do we blame larger class sizes, changes to the curriculum, teacher burnout or something else?
Because that many people not being able to read and write properly is an absolute fucking disgrace and makes me wonder what the point of school is these days. Was it shitified intentionally because the public were asking too many questions about the way this world operates?
Anyway if people can’t read you can hardly expect them to educate themselves about climate science. Instead they will just trust the opinions aired on the main-stream media. It’s easier.

So increased land taxes and unoccupied home taxes do work to stop prices rising quickly. Now take away negative gearing and CGT discounts and do all of this across the country!
