True, but isn’t this just late payment? It’s still absolutely abhorrent and I’d be fucking furious, I’m just saying a lot of people aren’t in a position to just leave. Getting paid a week late is better than losing your pay for 2-4 weeks while you look for another job.

Lol what?

He’s talking about a literal map, not creating a street view system etc. At least that’s how I understood it.

I’m guessing you’re from the US, are you legitimately worried about parking in front of private buildings for minutes? What kind of bizarre dystopian shit is that?

Are you worried the occupiers will shoot you or the police would arrest you? I genuinely don’t know.

Love this attitude. The harsh reality is, not everyone is a kid working at maccas and they have families to feed and bills to pay.

DV is a serious and well known issue. These CEOs should’ve seen it coming.

I mean if school shootings are acceptable and there’s the chance for many many victims, America should quite happily accept CEO murders to continue.

Why would someone be mad you mapped a town?

This place is so backwards.

Let’s look the past the fact you’re a moron, attempting to make a point on behalf of your brother’s in christ, the gays.

And let’s dive in.

Are there homophobic and misogynistic westerners who like slaves? Absolutely.

Now have a think how many of them also like Muslims and the middle east and want to go to a Muslim country with no alcohol that judges them?

Sshhhhhhh child, no more talking.

But for people who those are features, they are very likely to be Muslim or at the least Arabic and therefore, probably somewhat similar to their home.

I’m saying for a westerner, to think you can go the and have a great time safely, you’re deluded.

For some, I would agree. But I’d also say that’s an insane over generalisation and these kind of comments are the same shit. People with no serious education on a topic, spewing ‘stats’ and making sweeping statements.

It’s fucking Dubai… Why would you want to go there?

A monument to man’s arrogance, literal slaves, rampant misogyny, homophobia Yada Yada. Terrifying laws based on ultra conservative religions. Routinely one of the hottest places in the world and extremely expensive.

Just fucking why?

This viewpoint is so stupid.

The cashier is paid to take orders, whether they take 1 long obnoxious order or 3 small orders, it’s the same shit.

People are so swept up in ‘kindness and support’ (internet circlejerking), they think that the fact you inconvenienced some 17 year old, representing a massive corporation, as a fuck you to the company that employs them, you’ve committed some moral sin against your fellow man.

That is true, again, very specific area, I’ve never seen one in near 4 decades.

For sure, I understand and agree with you. It’s the same everywhere, most animals, even those that can easily kill you, want nothing to do with you.

I was just saying, the notion that Australia is some crazy dangerous land infested with animals trying to kill you is just nonsense.

Random story, I went to the US about 10 years ago and was in LA, driving around the mountains, just enjoying the area. I came up around a bend and saw a baby mountain lion running across the road and up a hill. I was so fucking excited, I hit the brakes, pulled over, got out of the car, took about 4-5 steps towards where it ran off and suddenly had the thought ‘fuck… Mum will be very close’. Got back in my car and left.

Anyway, I drove through about 2000 miles of the US, that was the only ‘dangerous’ animal encounter.

Crocodiles are very large, but again, they are mostly in a pretty unpopulated region and again, they do not chase and attack, you just don’t go swimming.

Sharks are not Australian. For many years I’ve also had Americans and Japanese alike saying ‘oh Australia has so many sharks!’. It’s the ocean, there are sharks everywhere.

It is all about familiarity, but with a snake it’s literally ‘don’t touch it’. With a bear, you have to know which bear it is, best defence, carry a weapon etc. Not comparable.

Depends what you use it for.

I joined Facebook when it first came out, when it was still only for Uni students, used it for many years and stopped probably about 8-10 years ago now. Fuck, how long has it been around for?

Anyway, I’ve recently rediscovered Facebook as I bought an old muscle car and I’ve been enjoying the groups and marketplace for parts.

Anyway, just a thought from an old Facebook user.

Australian animals.

Americans are the absolute worst at it and it’s just so stupid. Yes we have poisonous snakes and spiders, so does America.

We have more of them than America, yes.

You know what we don’t have? Large predators. You can go walking in the bush in Australia and you might see one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. You know what you do? You don’t fuck with it and continue on with your business.

You’re walking in America and oh, you’ve just stumbled across one of the multiple species of bears, coyotes, wolves, cougars etc. Animals that may chase you down and maul you. It’s not even a competition.

And you, as an American, might say ‘oh but you pretty much never see them’. Yeah same with dangerous snakes etc in Australia.

I don’t think so. They’ve gone on about it a lot and supposedly could have the ability but I don’t think they’ve ever done a successful launch or detonation of a nuclear weapon.

I hope he’s eating something good.

Yeah but that’s like saying the US build nuclear reactors.

You and your buddies sure don’t.

I see you’re not familiar with the term ‘home invasion’.
