I don’t think sweeping statements about homework being helpful/unhelpful is useful. I think everyone here is pro-homework just from the fact that there’s constant encouragement to read theory to become better leftists. There’s many examples where homework is useful and many examples where its borderline abusive. I guess I’m a homework centrist.

I feel like that’s probably the worst part of it, that the body can go from being perfectly fine to being unable to handle something when nothing else in your life changed to provoke it

Yeah its not that uncommon to see people diagnosed with an intolerance well into adulthood. I have a relative who developed/found out they had a gluten intolerance in their 60s. You’re already cutting it out of your diet and it sounds like its working so its not that urgent to get a scope, but I feel like having that confirmation of what’s going on can help with knowing exactly what you can have/can’t have in your diet

I agree, once you get through the story its hard to go back

Fuckin Torys. Its not urgent or anything, but a scope can diagnose/rule out lactose or gluten intolerance, and rule out other things. If there’s a way to get on a waiting list or something that won’t cost money, I think its worth it.

Have you had a scope done?

I am leaning towards voting yes on this but this is not going to be a significant change for anything in Australia. The Indigenous/First Nations people I know have decided they will vote no because they find it too insulting. This isn’t addressing the problems Indigenous people face and is going to be used as a political tool to further legitimise the colonial government we have. The people chosen for the Voice to Parliament body are likely not to represent the needs of the Indigenous people. On the other hand, this might be the first time we might get to see Indigenous people voicing their opinions with a national audience. For example, it could be used to talk about Treaty or the disgusting shit we do to the environment.

Most people are not well informed, so they are voting on this based on the advertised idea that this is a big step towards Indigenous representation in parliament. So, with 40% of the population born overseas and having experienced being a minority in this country, you’d think this would be a slam dunk win for the yes vote, yet its struggling. I feel like this says a lot about this country.

During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

A German Nazi? No way

They can’t. Every single one of these libs keep saying they have sources but at most will link fucking wikipedia then say that anyone who disagrees just isn’t discussing things in “good faith” or whatever bullshit

seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives

Says person who does nothing to oppose conservatives

Did you know it wasn’t Russia that killed tens of millions of Russians? It was actually me

Lmao what a pathetic response

He has hundreds of millions to billions of dollars and is still upset its not enough and blames Jews for this :brainworms:

Rugby union is the one that copies boarding school shit, rugby league is more of a poorer people’s sport in Aus. Also, most of the players in this boycott are of Islander or Maori descent. In Australia a large portion of homophobic/anti LGBTQIA+ people are immigrants from strict religious backgrounds. As @KiaKaha said, for Pacific Islanders this is a remnant of them being colonised. But it is so ingrained now that there are several evangelical christian churches owned and run by people of Islander background where they echo everything the white evangelical christians in USA talk about.
