    Its a mindset thing, it really ticks me off that I see this type of image on social media and at my own job all the time like its a either/or thing. Admittedly this one isnt as infuriating as most but still…

    When they have a BBQ breakfast at my work. Between 60 people they spend $300 on bacon, eggs and sausages. It costs them $5 a head once a month and theres always 2 or 3 people spouting off about raises but these idiots arent in the union, they just complain about being given a free breakfast and do nothing to actually generate momentum towards better wages and conditions.

    If my union came back from wage negotiations with $5 per month I would immediately quit the union and start looking for a new job. $5 a month is an INSULT of a raise, but a free lunch is still a free lunch. Take the free lunch, thank the boss for organising it and still fight for better conditions. This was given to you, you didnt have to fight for it so be grateful, but still fight for what you deserve.






  • I used to like the Chrysler 300, then I saw the kind of people who buy them.

    Edit: Not a racial thing. Im Australia they became popular with people who really arent tough but want people to think they are… white guys who think because they smoke weed that they are essentially Pablo Escobar. Guys who have a motorbike licence and a 500cc commuter bike but 9 Sons of Anarchy hoodies. Guys who have a “Only god can judge me” tattoo but also some minor convictions from a local court magistrate who it turns out can judge them.


  • Im a huge advocate for fitness and diet for people who are having trouble with mental health. Because it gives you something you can nerd out on, control, research and if it sticks its a huge net positive for your life.

    Figuring out your macros, setting yourself a step goal, designing a functional diet, doing some basic weight training even with just bodyweight exercises.

    It also has the advantage of quite often leaving you tired at the end of the day. I can recommend some resources if you like.







  • I used to be a street racer type jackass 20 years ago and I was religious about this. Never kept so much as a paperclip in the car. When I was heading out to be a dickhead.

    I know 3 people who the police charged with “Possession of burglary tools” for having mechanics gloves and basic tools in the car because they didnt actually catch us racing so couldnt do anything.
