They’ve gotta know if you’re fuckable.

Ahhh, the good ol’ cut off your nose to spite your face. Instead of finding another product to fit their niche use case, they throw all the toys out of the bath tub and have a cry.

Police are investigating after officers were hit with snowballs while responding to a snowball fight? Well this has got to be the shortest investigation in history surely. The answer is right there in the first sentence!

Furthermore, why on earth are police “responding to a snowball fight”? Who called the police? Why even bother calling OR responding? It’s a snowball fight! Have these dickheads never heard of “fun”?

Trump wouldn’t say “fuck Iran” after he finds out how old Iran is…

Lushsux is Melbourne based, unless they’ve gone to Sydney recently…

In a similar vain, I enjoy rewatching Chernobyl and thinking “what if this happened in the USA instead?” I just can’t imagine the government and people mobilising that quickly. Everything would have to wait for tender responses, companies would price-gouge for their efforts, people wouldn’t take “you will do it because it needs to be done” as an answer. The catastrophe would be way worse and clean up would have taken longer.

Apart from politics, which is always pretty up and down, my two biggest concerns for the world are

1. Nobody seems to know how to build things any more. Watching companies fumble around trying to build almost anything that has the same usable life as something built 60 years ago, with fewer materials and almost no computers, is infuriating.

2. The environment is in a MUCH worse state. I was born in the 80s and I can say anyone my age or older who tells you climate change is a myth is either lying or never went outside. I remember seeing large flocks of birds overhead several times at dusk. Now there’s almost nothing. Insect- and bird-life have largely collapsed, forests look sad and unhealthy, we are getting hot days earlier in the year and rainfall is nowhere near as consistent as it used to be. Do humans move farmland to places where rain now falls? Nope, they pump the rivers dry and make even more problems downstream. The situation is unsustainable and, with so many global leaders in the pockets of oil and gas companies, it is going to get a lot worse.

That said, I would say general quality of life, especially through medical advances has made a lot of people’s lives better.
