  • 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.






  • Often antiperspirants create a cycle of dependency. They kill off some of the benign bacteria and favour the ones that produce strong body odour, so if you stop using them you stink.

    I grew up in a region where no-one used antiperspirant or deodorant. Nobody smelt bad. People have a smell, but its not strong.

    When I moved to the city and smelt post-basketball teenage BO, it was so bad.

    I dont use antipersperant. I have asked many people if I smell, all agree I dont.
