You really haven’t given us much to go on here.

Were you in a relationship? For how long?

Also, what sort of age group are we talking here? Your options and perspectives are likely to be different if you are in your teens vs 20s vs 30s, etc.

Pure strategy favourite: Terra Mystica, as long as you are happy with a fairly rules-dense game.

Pure chance favourite: Snakes and Ladders

20 years on my partner and I still quote The End of the World occasionally.

So a whoosh from me it was.

I’m guessing that English is not your first language? To talk shit about someone means to say negative things about them, it doesn’t necessarily mean using any swear words.

That or you were joking, and I just whooshed myself.

Chaining someone to a job sounds more like indenture than strong labour laws.

Actually strong labour laws let employees choose to work for a different employer, while requiring the employer to have a valid reason to dismiss the employee.

Have those workers tried being friends with rich people?

I also lost quite a bit of respect for Penny Wong when she wasn’t willing to condemn this at the outset: Israel’s order to cut food and water from Gaza difficult to judge from afar, says Foreign Minister Penny Wong

Though to be fair, Dutton was never going to be a better option.

A lawnmower fight at a shopping centre would be… different.

Since that’s Charlie Chaplin doing a mocking parody of Hitler, what do you want to stop? People making fun of Nazis?

I’ve heard that it’s so addictive that people who stop using it will die from withdrawal in a matter of days.

But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.

This made slightly less sense before I remembered that manga is supposed to be read right to left.

Or speaking in cant?

“Trust me bro.”

It’s just a tiny little fella!

I’d forgotten about this series. I’ve got some catching up to do.

I doubt they would need to enact truth in political advertising laws for that. Dutton and his colleagues have shown a willingness to flex defamation laws when people say things that make them feel sad. They are also privileged enough to be among the few who have the financial means to pursue those kinds of actions.

My guess is you’d end up with a bunch of strategically expensive defamation actions that are intended to tie up those sort of advertisements until after the election.

Now, if it was something that would stop the Greens or teals from building more support? Watch that fly through Parliament with bipartisan approval.

Nope, I have no doubt they happen. I’m disputing that a old comedy film is useful evidence of them.
