Shit 2 weeks at work and I'm OK? It's my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have

But I'm not doing great generally. I'm feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I'm flagging.

This is a very lengthy examination of the primaries. It doesn't really conclude anything except that the process in 2016 wasn't as transparent as it usually was and it might be reasonable to think it might have been rigged.

To be honest I don't follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you're right, speculation doesn't help anyone.

Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is "it was just a joke!" is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you should just use it at random and it's acceptable. As with even words like "queer" you should know whether they're OK with using the term to refer to someone rather than just assume they're OK with it.

I was surprised about "wog" too. I'm a Melburnian and reading some of the comments here just made me realise it could just be a Melbourne thing. A lot of my friends refer to themselves by that term and want us to use it too as a sign of closeness/affection.

I'd never heard Paki in Australia before either.

Really it's all about intent and intonation. Given what we call close friends and sworn enemies alike ;)

Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out

John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )

This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original

Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...
