These figures could have been much worse, with more than 8,800 rescues performed by lifeguards and volunteer surf lifesavers in the past year.

Studies have consistently reported a greater prevalence of MTF than FTM, the odds are in favour of the ladies in all directions

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

A greater prevalence of what?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

Transition.

Yes, but gender transitioning doesnt save people from depression like they say it does, my evidence is the various detransitioners that regret it

Never said I hated or was scared of trans people, I dont know what you are talking about. A phobia is an extreme hatred or fear of something, i.e: long words, or even certain inanimate objects, fear of heights is another one. Calling me a “transphobe” is inaccurate because I barely fit within the lines of the definition of that terminology.

Majority of people who saved someone from drowning are men, too. Men are overrepresented in most statistics.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

My strategy has been to stay out of the water.

I am allegedly yet to drown.

Fosters: it's Australian for "pissweak beer we serve to Yanks".

It is “making love on a surfboard” beer.

Imagine how much worse it could get if they drank something with alcohol in it.

Is XXXX still big in Queensland?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Gold is. Bitter is much harder to get today than it was 20 years ago.

Romeo found Juliette looking really sick, instead of skulling Cyanide, should’ve got a slab of Vic!

(Apologies to the Oxo Cubans and anyone who actually likes the taste of beer).
