Having bought 2 in my lifetime so far my approach has always been to say bugger all to the agent. I owe them nothing. If I have questions I ask, if they ask me questions I give them the most limited information possible, obviously being polite. I always kept my cards close to my chest until it was time to lift the auction paddle.

Say very little; it's none of their business. Dress how you normally would.

I'm no expert on the technology but God I love our battery powered lawn mower. Our lawn, front and back is mostly temporally embarrassed grass (weeds) but keeping it down is critical in Australian snake season. Plan is to get rid of most of it and do the native plants and minimal grass thing.

In the meantime, no fumes, no refueling, the dog isn't scared of the noise, and it works a treat. The batteries and how to recycle them in the future is certainly something to worry about, but in the meantime it's vastly superior to our old stinky, do a rotator cuff turning it on, 2 stroke option.

It's really obvious when they're having a go at cisgender white women about makeup or certain clothes or haircuts or body types. You always see the same comments explaining to women that they ackshually prefer 'natural looks' or less revealing clothing or long hair or 'something to hold on to'.

It's all through a lens of 'why do you make choices about yourself that don't improve your appeal to me, someone who wants to fuck you'.

That there are women that completely reject all those notions or don't seek their opinions (women who are trans, women who aren't hetero, women who reject traditional feminine looks, women who excel in their careers or physical sports) simply doesn't compute with these people's view of what women are.

The more malicious parts of that mindset lead to that push you're talking about. We as women are still just something that needs to validate its existence. Any deviation from that is viewed as something that should never have existed at all.

This is clearly AI. I hate you.

Careful with the idea that you're a young country with limited history. Your indigenous peoples may view the matter (rightfully) quite differently.

In Australia we actually changed the lyrics to our national anthem a few years back. It did say "...we are young and free". Which is a bit of a 'fuck you' to the people who have lived on and cared for the land for upwards of 50,000 years. So it's now "we are one and free".

I'm not chastising you, just prompting you to think about things differently.

Thank you for projecting your experience as an individual man, on the experience of all women re what society expects of them.

Fucking Bravo.

Omg so insightful. Can you do literally all bands and artists, and like, explain, like how they're not good and how people who enjoy them are l, like, you know, wrong? And how your, like totally not subjective, music choice surpasses theirs???

That'd be great. You being an ex musician and all. So unique. So niche. Such an untold story. We've got so much to learn.

You were meant to be disgusted. That's the point.

To you. Not everything is for the male gaze. I wouldn't do it myself, and I don't think it's attractive on most women. But people aren't walking around trying to please me. Or you.

If you find yourself writing the words 'round them up' about human beings, that's the time to step away from the keyboard and go think about how you got where you are and why.

Not an old houuse (2015 build), not sure if we have coins but I'll check..

No vents in reach and certainly no radiators, no screws.. No metal furniture... No screws... The sink didn't work... No fireplace.

I'm not in Coober Pedy but may as well be it seems!

'inherent value'?

Don't be gross
