  • I have no idea. They're all nonsense words on there. However, you can have too much oxygen, but I'm guessing that's not what he's on about.

  • This is a dude that was too embarrassing even for the Liberal Party in Australia.

    In 2009, the Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend Adams from the party for six months for conduct deemed likely to "embarrass or cause damage to" the party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten. Mason was filming a report on Adams' absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, "I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you." However, Adams claims he resigned from the party before he could be suspended. Adams resigned from Australian politics in 2012.

    This bit is comedy gold.

    In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.

    I'm still not sure if it's all just an act, like a right-wing-nutjob version of Nathan Feilder. He's kinda fascinating, honestly, in a trainwreck kind of way.

  • I didn't say it was logical. That's how the mods interpreted it when I made a similar joking reference to punching some nazis that got me permanently banned.

    Prior to that, they also gave me a temporary ban for 'misogyny' when I described a woman physically assaulting a much larger man who, in self defence, shoved her away from him causing her to fall on her arse, as 'a win for gender equality'. :)

  • Patrick H Willems, particularly his 'Star Wars Christmas Special', is the reason I signed up to Nebula. He's decidedly non-political.

  • Ah yes. "Inciting violence" is apparently the worst possible thing you can say on reddit, regardless of context.

  • Even the ones with digital watches.

  • Is it though? I can't be arsed to look it up right now, but I can't imagine they're just being given all that taxpayer money without there being reams of paperwork dictating how they spend it. And if they are, then that's pretty corrupt as well.

    Who am I kidding? Of course I can imagine that with the way things are being run over there these days.

  • But it is corruption, especially if there are no consequences for it.

  • I wasn't brave enough to scan the QR code. The owner is a bloke in his eighties by the look of him. Wisdom doesn't always come with age, apparently.

  • Same here. I could do the cross-eyed 3D pretty easily, but never the wall-eyed ones, until now.

  • The Vogons will be along shortly to clear out the rest for a hyperspace expressway.

  • Catchy.

    Like the plague.
