the 2020 trivial drivel thread

Never mind, they just cancelled it because of weather.

Maggot! There's a rocket launching! Hurry so you can see.

One of these days I will get down there and feel the raw power that just has to come from one heading to space.

[Duchess]

I don't know why I immediately thought of you when I saw the rocket on the launchpad but I did and it made me think of your telescope too.

[Maggot]

Yesterday around 8pm my son was using the bathroom sink and the handle broke off and water was gushing out like a 3 stooges skit. Of course the shut off was not working so I had to shut it off at the main after the other shutoff didn't shut it down all the way. What a mess. Today I have to replace it.

That Elon Musk is weird. I don't know if I would trust him with such an important project. He has issues.

Aussie!  I'm happy to see you!  

[Duchess]

I neglected to comment on Elon. Agreed, he is weird. 

Didn't he just name his baby symbols or some such shit?

Thank you so much Duch, I am happy to be hanging out here. I think of Mock a lot when I am not here. My life has gotten really intense with the declinof my Mum. I have greedy relatives just sitting like vultures waiting. Horrible freeloaders.eh what an idiot, he might be good at Math but big deal, so what, who cares? When he wanted to open up his factory with an active deadly virus on the loose I just thought, you didn't study biology smartarse did you?

He should be leading he charge as a high profile person as doing the right thing, but his ego forbids it. I studied Epidemiology when doing my Masters and the lecturers were mega smart. It was a really hard subject. I passed the subject but it wasn't like the other subjects where I was getting Distinction and High Distinction. 

I wouldn't trust his spaceships either. Even Richard Branson had tragedy with his program.

[BigMark]

Branson has even survived a shipwreck. In 1974, he went with his first wife, Kristen Tomassi, to Cozumel, to try and patch up a marriage that had suffered from numerous affairs on both sides. The area has some of the world’s best marlin fishing, and one day they and another couple decided to hire a deep-sea boat. Two miles out, a severe storm began to pound the boat; after a frightening hour or so, the wind and rain subsided, but Branson and his wife concluded that they were in the storm’s eye. Convinced that the boat could not withstand another attack, they urged the others to try to swim with them to safety. Nobody was willing to join them. “We stripped off to our underwear and the fisherman gave us a plank of wood from the bottom of the boat,” Branson recalled. Somehow, despite ten-foot waves, the couple fought their way to shore. Neither the boat nor its occupants were ever seen again.

Branson asked for help for Virgin Airlines here in Australia because of CV19 but the govt was like oh hell no. We help Oz businesses but not others. The thing is with these companies crying poor, their owners own the whole world they have money they just dont want to pitch in and help. Murdoch is a good example.

Lachlan Murdoch now owns the actual Beverly Hillbillies house. I would rather like in a shack than step on my fellow humans or hurt anyone to live in a mansion. So yeh, enjoy your big house CUNT.

[BigMark]

No you dinnit!

It's rare, I only use the world COCK too when I'm really upset, and then Duch turns up saying Aussie said COCK.

I am actually I like to think polite and well spoken, I have been watching heaps of Gore Vidal on youtube, I want to be able to speak like him. He is so well spoken. I love love love him. And of course he was gay.

People need to stop talking about defunding the police. It's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard but it ranks up there.

[Carsman]

It the police were defunded, when they dial 911, who they gonna call/get, Ghost Busters!

That would invite lawlessness. You cant just sack people, you have to re edcuate them and the working environment has to have zero tolerance to racial inequity in the workforce and there must be accountability and discipline where necessary.

Sadistic, murderous thug, Chauvin had eighteen complaints against him.

It was partially due to the police union that he never had to answer for basically all of them!

You know I'm a LEO supporter, but this kinda shit needs to stop.

Not everyone who carries a badge is righteous and fit for duty.

All cops aren't racist.

And every person of color is a not victim of "systemic racism".

[aussiefriend]

Wow Tiki you are freaking me out there. I wonder what John McCain makes of all of this. He was a good guy.

I agree with all of that but I don't think the answer is defunding. They need more training and there should be way more accountability.

[aussiefriend]

No you can't defund, that is so backward and if anything, there needs to be re-education and workplace safety because these guys do put their lives on the line. There needs to be accountability when things go wrong, but they have to be protected and safe, because you guys have gun laws over there that other countries don't have, that is a component in this situation which is the pretty bad for a western country.

[Duchess]

I can't remember where we were talking about the old guy in Buffalo, the activist that the cops pushed and he began bleeding from his ear, anyway, he has a fractured scull and is unable to walk.
