Doctor Oz is actually a doctor though, despite everything. Used to be one of the most respected cardiothoracic surgeons in the world. Then his tv show happened...

I see it all the time on aca and TT. Never on the main news shows, like I said, never in my 38yrs of being alive - and for the last 15yrs I've been watching the news between 5-7:30 unless I'm out. I seriously think you're conflating current affairs shows with the news. Current affairs shows are held to a different (read: lower) standards and ethics levels than that of the news. Not to say there isn't any bias or manipulation of the viewer, but they aren't doing it with music. That's aca and TTs domain.

I think your confusing a current affair/today tonight with actual news programs. I channel surf from 5-7:30pm and have never heard the main news programs of 7, 9, 10, SBS, nor the ABC editorialise like that in my 38yrs on this planet. At a stretch, they play clips of articles they've already covered at the end with the shows theme song over the top.

She'd skydived as a senior citizen many times before her latest jump, that one was just to go for the record.

Bernard is Irish...

No, the guardian is an independent rag.

I get that. And I have dabbled with making music. But I would never call myself a musician, producer, whatever. It's kinda corny given the source but, Fred Durst said it best for me when he said "music is key/it's the way we're set free/from all this world is throwing at me". I'm 38. Music has been central to my identity for 30yrs now.

Yeah, it's a proper thing. Supported by science and all that jazz. I love it. I've got tattoos to show my love for music (people always see em and ask "what instrument do you play?" They are always hella confused when I reply with "none"), it was nice finding out years after as to just why music is so important for me. It literally regulates my brain if I pick the right stuff.

The BPM on that femtanyl track is pretty high, high bpm music can help us ADHD patients. I find it soothing.

Wireless landline phones were a thing though. You still needed a base station plugged into the wall, but you could walk around the house etc.

I never said it wasn't valid. Just that the definition of whataboutism was comparing two things. Someone else called you out and you seem to think it was me. Imagine going through life being so sensitive. Must be exhausting.

You even admit it yourself: "Whataboutism can provide necessary context into whether or not a particular line of critique is relevant or fair (this is what I did)". I didn't say whether the whataboutism was fair or not, just that the definition was comparing two things. Which you've agreed with.

Whole lotta words just to say I'm right. Thanks for backing me up I guess...?

Comparing two acts is the textbook definition of whataboutism.

Fuck scummo. He was even worse than Abbott. At least he cared about some of us. Sure, they were all rich, white, Christian people, but he still cared about them. Scummo just cared about himself and no-one else. Also, it was kinda funny when Abbott ate his second unpeeled yellow onion on national tv. I mean, once is a mistake, twice is hilarious/concerning.

Lack of evidence and testimony is what I've heard.

Didn't think there could be a bad remix of NIN. Turns out I was wrong.

I'm Australian too, get a better/different instructor. You are driving a one tonne+ lethal weapon, essentially. Thinking this somehow gives you right to act like a cunt shouldn't be normalised. I'd tell him whilst I was ceasing my patronage of his services too. Cos I sure as shit didn't go through all you did when I used an instructor to get my p's.

CS2 literally came out the other day. It does happen, even if it is rarely.

You say that, but you'd drink a gallon of baileys if I put it in a shoe big enough, and you'd survive. Just trying to say, some people can take heroic doses of a substance and survive. Remember, the ld50 only kills 50% of the population.
