Always nervous before surgery, but it has always been fine so far.

Took about 2 mins.

For a nightmare difficulty, spot the decorator crab in this photo

I am sneezing just looking at it.

Great picture though

I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.

A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn’t capable of leaving Tom.

“No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”

I know you’re right about this

Although its a meme, its based on truth: Touch grass.

Go for a walk somewhere green, burn off some of the adrenaline your anxiety is producing.

So do I have this right:

EFTPOS is free to merchants and customers

VISA charges a fee for their services

Merchants pass the VISA fee on to their customers

VISA wants the fee removed by law

Merchants will be forced to raise prices to compensate

Customers using EFTPOS will end up paying part of the VISA fee ?

If you look at all the traits animals and plants have, there are correlations and patterns unrelated to the environment, consistent only with a pattern of descent with modification.

For example, all the animals that produce milk also have fur, while all the animals with beaks and hollow bones also have feathers.

These groups of correlated organisms are found regardless of their environment, so penguins have all the bird traits even though they live in the ocean, seals have all the mammal traits even though they live in the ocean.

This pattern only has one consistent explanation: life on earth is a result of descent with modification: evolution.

Probably a good idea to let him know how you are being treated.

My partner and I deal with toxic family by cutting them out of our lives. Only got time for kind people.

Is there anywhere I can see the original post? I feel like there is a fair point to be made that a vegan diet for cats could be possible.

I support the removal of misinformation, but surely that is a fair point to make.

Makes me wonder if they are making contingencies for a Trump victory.

The US government could force Google to reveal if people are accessing abortions or contraception, or participating in protests.

Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.

Same here, like reddit as it used to be.
