I often ask myself why I seem to know more about Donald Trump or Gaza than I do about my own backyard. The lack of local newspapers. It…

Unfortunately many people in positions of power have defined the 'best' rather loosely. Perhaps there should simply be a cutoff and once…

I think we do, because leaving it up decent people to date has been quite the failure. Diversity hiring doesn't mean someone gets picked…

Yes but that doesn't happen until the people doing the hiring are diverse and the resumes are blinded to name and gender. Otherwise it's…

Failing to plan is planning to fail. If you've not planned for that eventuality then you shouldn't be in business. It's not like women…

I don't think as a rule that teachers, doctors, psychologists and allied health staff have a collective agenda to secretly change who…

OP without a clear plan with what to do for your retirement I would keep on for another couple of years. The money will be a nice bonus,…

So the best country to live in is the one that wins in this domain? Really?

I think you might have missed the part where they said there needs to be agreement between the parents and child, and if that cannot be…

Yes. They are highly discriminatory. Against women. It sounds to me like your definition of success rests solely in dollar value. By tying…

Actually both. And if you've not baked leave *of any kind* into your policies and budget then what are you doing? People get sick, they…

Women have always worked. There was a brief time post-war in which the women had to quit their jobs to support those returning from war but…

I think you'll find that developing countries are the opposite - they typically have corrupt governing bodies due to their own versions of…

This attitude is how companies became so unbalanced. Many times the person deciding who the best candidate is, picks the person that is…

It's called a poisoned chalice position. They'd have to be paying a LOT of money for any woman to want to seriously take that on, or they'd…

Did you just out yourself as a really shit Dad who'd never take time off work to look after their kids...?

Are you chronically online sir, as someone with kids in school, that is absolutely not the case at all. There are kids at their school…

No, what is discriminatory is a workforce that is obviously skewed toward one gender. Trying to balance that out is the opposite of…

It's not flatpacked is why, it's already assembled.

It's been $399 for ages along with the console table (which has good reviews). Also unlike half that website, it's solid birchwood.

A coffee table I've had my eye on has been discounted by 90%. Great if you need a cheap one.

People don't strike because they have to work more than 40 hours per week. They strike because they have to work more than 40 hours per…

...and you're *proud* of this?

Wait hold up - you think surgeons aren't a net positive to society? Australian doctors aren't on anywhere near the same wages as say the…

Okay what if you're a nurse though, and wages haven't risen commensurate with cost of living, you can't afford to live anywhere near close…

Once you realise that you cannot do a damn thing about other drivers behaviour on the road it changes your mindset a bit and it's just…

Ugh I didn't realise it was listed. Some rich kid with an axe to grind will probably buy it.

The geeks and nerds are all on Bluesky and Mastodon now, those sites are wildly weird.

This. But I'm hanging out for the followup post where the OP tells the husband about The Men and all of his footage. I really hope OP does…

You're not wrong. If I were the husband I would definitely want to know if the guy next door had cameras trained on the driveway, that my…
