This, but they also covered one sign with a male one that was too small. Hence this new gender which I shall dub Smallmen. They are to regular Men as Smallbeer is to real Beer.

They... I... what?
I mean seriously, do they think that the solution to being perceived as creepy man-children is to act more like creepy man-children?
I think it was just a practical reaction that they needed more bathrooms and half of them literally weren't in use.
If you want one word to cover why the LNP got a serving, that word is "inaction". The Morrison govt never once got on the front foot for any major issue unless they could conjure up some vague connection to their National Security safety blanket. Take any other major issue and they either shrugged their shoulders or had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do something.
If you want a second word it's "incompetence" because they always rushed and half arsed their policies once they were shivvied into actually taking action.
The third word would be "corruption".
Yes, the LNP should move further to the right... Pffffffft. I mean, I have no problem with it because it would mean a long time in opposition for them. It was their 'Fiscal Conservative/Social Liberal' supporters that abandoned them in droves and has basically gutted their Moderate faction.
As for PHON and UAP... leaning hard into conspiracy theories and sooking about "muh freedumbs" didn't help. Also, they mostly fish in the same pond so all they do is take votes from each other.
I am not making a thread about this, but the democrat thanks to a projected Roe v Wade overturn has a shot at winning the 2022 midterms.
Also back to the Australia victory.
This is literally the fourth Labor win ever and since World War 2. How are you guys not thrilled.

Unless I’m misreading what you’re trying to say, I’m confident we’ve had more than four Labor governments since 1945.
Not 'ever', and not exactly true. Chifley won in 46 but that was a continuation of the wartime ALP govt, so line call on if it counts or not.
As for 'thrilled'... meh... hard to be thrilled about a bunch of neo-libs winning power. Crumbs off the table *is* better than nothing but they're still just fucking crumbs.
Depends on what your metric is: electoral wins, PMs or blocks of time as govt (for the last one it is 4 post-49)
Picking between ScoMo and Albo is like picking between Trump and Biden
Yes, there is a right answer. But it's not necessarily a good answer
Which is still a good bit of comedy at their expense.
Bonus points: Some 400+ of the "active duty deaths" last year among police were of COVID, from police who didn't vaccinate or mask up.
I don't think most normal people mark their calendars a year in advance for when this one guy died. And hey why can't you honor police in the same week he died? It's police that arrested, prosecuted and convicted his killer.
It doesn't count when it's one of their own doing the murder and we have to twist their arms to get any kind of accountability.
Amy Klobuchar let Chauvin go for his previous murder under very similar circumstances. She is the ONE person who could have stop Floyd from dying. It was her 'respect of police' that caused Chauvin to be in prison. Because all 'respect for police' means to people like Amy is 'immunity for crimes'.
The courts prosecute and convict, not the police. You’re thinking of 2000AD Judges where it’s all rolled into one.
Well we are talking about America.
A dude flat out murdered a guy while his buddies watched on camera and it took burning a police station down to get cops to do anything about it. So no, I'm not giving cops props for arresting the guy
It's all one thing, the court has to prosecute but the police have to arrest the guy and they need a warrant to do that in most cases, so on, it doesn't have to be Dredd. This is actually part of why cops get let off too much in a lot of situations, cause they work closely with the prosecutors and form rapport so they're biased against finding fault with their colleagues.
I mean, as long as police consist of people some % of them will be criminals too just by the numbers, we still need police to catch those too. Now the arm twisting argument I get but still if you didn't have them the guy would still have walked free so while not ideal it's preferable to the alternative.
I can't speak for everyone, but speaking for myself, the reasons I didn't go screaming into the streets include:
-I don't have that many problems with the LNP. Terrible as they are on climate change, they did a good job of seeing us through Covid.
-Actions, not words. Labor needs to deliver.
-The last time Labor was in power was under Rudd, then Gillard, then Rudd again, then we had a decade of LNP rule with similar 'coups,' from Abbott, to Turnbull, to ScoMo (I even had to check Wikipedia to remind myself of that order, that's how bad it got). I know that can't solely be blamed on Labor, but, well, there was reason why Canberra was called the "coup capital of the world" for awhile, and it was a series of 'coups' that started under Labor.
-I'm mixed on Albo. Shorten had a clear vision when he ran for PM, Albo...well, his victory speech was pretty good, but I'm pretty tepid on him. Granted, I usually vote for the party more than the leader, so to speak, but even so...
-The Greens made perfect the enemy of good and didn't give their support for an emissions trading scheme. That the greens and teals have a presence is good, on paper, but they need to actually be able to work with Labor.
This really hits the nail on the head on how idiotic the whole system was.
Let's play devil's advocate and say you applied it to Overwatch. Fine, okay, it's stupid, but I can live with stupid. How, on the other hand, are you going to apply it to settings like Warcraft? The problem with having the tool applied to Blizzard is that Blizzard has almost exclusively operated in sci-fi and fantasy. Overwatch is cartoony, soft sci-fi, arguably superhero fiction, and yet it's the most 'realistic' (in terms of proximity to Earth) setting they've ever done. Yes, a setting with a talking gorilla is still closer to reality than The Lost Vikings. 0_0
