Meh, can't say I care to be honest. If you're going to ban horse racing you need to ban pretty much everything else that involves people riding animals. Horses die giving kids rides and so on. I only really care if it's deliberate suffering.
And im okay with that, i dont see why our entertainment should be valued higher than an animal's walfare. I dont circuses and i dont like any sports involving animals because they are never treated right.
The animal welfare part is shit, yeah. But the worst thing about a day like today is the glorification of gambling culture, a culture which wrecks families financially and is mostly responsible for the animal abuse as well.
yeah i agree with that as well. all those gambling companies are making a lot of money off of the pain and suffering of thousands of people and dodge taxes like a mother fucker.
I must have secretly done some meth without knowing about it, because the skin on my top lip is constantly peeling off and it just won’t fucking stop. Lip balm is fucking useless too
Its like a microwave turnover, crispy pastry skin, savoury filling. Like a pizza pocket except with puff pastry.
Jesus, how much were you paid to write that post lmao
3 US dollars, which is about 135 Australian dollarydoos.
i can confirm that i am sponsored to make posts but will not disclose for what amount.
what i can say is if you want to be able to own noobs and get a chicken dinner you need monster energy.
So last night my mum's dog ran into something as got a huge gash on her side that needed about 15 stitches. Mum's on holiday so I took her to the vet this morning. Got the bill, $900. I was thinking how glad mum will be paying for it and not me when I saw I was being charged GST for it.
Really? Talk about scummy. It makes me wonder how many poorer families make the decision to put down their pets instead of treating them because of that. Like what was the government thinking when they chose to not make veterinary services GST exempt?
Most vets where I live are the worst and its completely due to the money-hungry practices they use to prey on misinformed people.
My parents dog got an infected toe by running into something and they wanted $1250 to do xrays and blood tests and check ups. They flat out refused to give us antibiotics without that.
Went to the next vet and got the antibiotics for $60 and the dog is now perfectly fine.
Got burnt once before by vets exaggerating illness and wont again.
fucking dickhead revhead across the road is working on his ute blasting bass heavy music and the bass is rattling through every fucking house on the street. shut the fuck up cunt.
Fuckwits honestly. One of my neighbours blasts shitty Australian rap music every weekend. I can have all my doors and windows shut and yet still hear it. The absolute lack of consideration for people other than themselves is just baffling
I hear post malone real loud and when I dont I hear them having sex (windows wide open, whole neighbourhood hears them). Sounds like an whale getting harpooned.
I swear to god i hear people trying to race on my street and/or playing loud music either once a week or every other week.
Fucken amaysim sold their nbn to southern phone. Ive gone from the best internet provider ive ever had to the absolute worst. They cut my net off and said their disruptions in the area, why is my house the only one affected then cunts
Lets' enjoy the cyclone season.
Great night for my first day at my new delivery job, had to deliver through worlds end while the sun refused to go down
yeah? whereabouts and what kind of role?
for my two cents it's the entire point of advertising to get people involved in your product, whether they're customers are competitors or new customers. hard to deny that mass advertising has a cultural effect either, and just as tooheys pushes beer as a cultural norm, sportsbet wants it to be normal for every true blue aussie to bet on their kids footy game
bruh i make pokies machines. been to crown plenty and know the gist of it.
tbh i like the ones that can be a bit fascescious, corporate-speak gives me the shits and it's stupid to act like you're not just chasing bigger and bigger numbers in an industry with such a massive profit margin
i'm not talking about gambling at casinos, i'm talking about the sports bet and similar ads.
I just recently moved from retail department manager at bigw to TABcorp on a casual role and it's been startling on the cultural differences.
In retail I'd be working my ass off 9-10 hours a day minimum with like no breaks and now I'm sitting at a desk watching races doing sweet fuck all for some pretty mint pay. Literally doing less than half the hours I was doing at Bigw and still getting paid the same.
Any reduction of gambling ads in Australian media is a good thing. Absolute waste of money.
Fucks me off how such a huge volume of these ads are being shoved down my throat.
I wanna move to literally any other city than Perth eventually. Theres fuckall going on here and being so far away from everyone else is starting to depress me.
I was thinking Brisbane since I know the most people from there, but I dunno for sure. Melbourne is *apparently* the most livable city, but I doubt the validity of that claim.
Theres also the issue of jobs, since anything I can get on the short term anywhere esle is guaranteed to be a massive downgrade from what I'm doing now, so moving anywhere else may not be all to practical for me.
Brisbane is very chill. Lots of bogans though.
If you move here avoid Ipswich, Kallangur, Deception Bay, Logan and Sunnybank. Absolute shit holes.
nah come live the swich mate we have 2 carl's jrs
Come to Canberra, it's kinda expensive but it's nice to live in. Plus you can get a job with the government pretty easily that pays fuckloads if you have any sort of degree or profession , usually has pretty good job security too. There's no traffic and usually enough going on you won't be bored. It's smaller than melb/syd, and Perth. If you end up hating it just at least you'll probably be better off financially.
Driving to toowoomba, then to kentucky and then straight to fucken wagga on saturday for xmas. Love me some cross country road trip across the beautiful aussie east coast in the great summer heat.
