Booo!!
Unable to access our zone of aussie, we were all distraught beyond description and unable to feed or bathe ourselves ๐
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ I submit ones that I find funny, and this one I did. My favorite (Australian-themed) satire of the year is still this one because I enjoy how absurd it was, but that was another one that was less popular (albeit less controversial in the voting).
I don't hate it, and the previous one was certainly pretty dated.
Nearly half the posts are satirical
Yeah but that's mostly because right now most of what I'm submitting here is satire and since submission traffic is pretty low, what one poster does significantly affects the feed ๐
it would be immediately clear that this isnโt serious
I thought this about https://aussie.zone/post/18141052 but nonetheless there's a comment checking if it's satire (even with the tag in the title, no less lol)
But still, I think itโs bad practice for posts in a serious Community to be serious posts, or if theyโre not, to be labelled as such.
Did you make a typo?
Deletions on Mbin are currently broken orz: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/1743
P.s. After reading this counterpoint piece and thinking about it for a few days, I'm gonna try not doing the self-imposed satire labeling on this instance and see how it goes ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing it
Had an okay ending at least!
I assume you're asking as someone from outside of Australia?
Anyway, answering only from personal / anecdotal experience:
Are people openly talking about the genocide in Gaza or is it considered some taboo topic?
Seems fine among the politics-is-okay crowd. Not sure about the don't-care-about-politics crowd, but it makes national news often enough that I doubt it's unusually "taboo" compared to other subjects that tend to be politically or emotionally charged.
Do people get fired for saying genocide is wrong or the the people in Gaza have a right to live?
Are people getting dissapeared for expressing solidarity with Palestinians like they are in the USA?
Not that I'm aware of, in general. I know some student protests were cracked down on earlier this year but we weren't deploying snipers on campuses at least.
They're pretty nice to eat and healthy too, but there's a convenience fee for them :<
I find that it makes it hard to justify having them super often because then the math looks really bad comparing to just buying beans (etc) in bulk and doing some DIY flavo(u)ring (plus figuring out storage).

It's a huge upgrade to just "randomly" give out, which makes me really curious about several behind-the-scenes decisions about why now, why such a big upgrade, why it's restricted to certain configurations, etc.
Average TF2 enjoyer
