Considering them petitioning to leave Oregon, I feel like eastern Oregon would be very upset about this
It's not the multiple partners that are a problem in my opinion (You do you. Polyamory is not for me, but no hate), it's the many-to-one relationships. Even in cases where an immoral power dynamic doesn't exist, you're still setting up for societal shenanigans if it's consistently many women to men, or vice versa, which seems prudent to avoid.
That being said, monogamy in a legal sense has probably only persisted so long because involving more than 2 people would be a massive headache for the courts lol
Probably only works in countries where one "partner" has more rights than others.
The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering "not a moral issue" from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)
In most of the US, who you vote for literally doesn't matter, because your state will go to the candidate from whatever party has won your state for the last couple decades. Unless you live in the 8 or so states that could actually, realistically flip in a given election cycle, there's literally no point in voting for the lesser of two evils.
I am aware of this, last I checked there were number electorates where non-voters (as compared with 2020) and third-party voters could have swayed the outcome. My assertion that not voting for the lesser of two evils where possible to do so is dumb in general. I am aware that certain places it is pointless to vote for the democrats.
Especially with the hodge-podge nature of it not really bring a federal election, and instead being a bunch of state/territory elections with different rules for each (gross).
If you understand that [you're in a very safe seat], you can be free to actually vote your conscience and pick one of the third party candidates
I agree. Where I draw the line is in seats where it is possible to vote lesser of two evils.
Seems you understand tactical voting quite well! I have no issue with you.
I only have a problem with the drop-kicks that assert tactical voting is morally wrong, instead of necessary.
Godspeed on fixing your voting systems friend
Welcome to the reality of the broken US voting system bud
Your boss would be breaking the law in Australia, now explicitly under the new right to disconnect legislation, if they said anything about it.
(Though, could have probably been argued in the past also as unpaid overtime in the past)
If DFAT still don't update their travel advice after this...
In fairness, this one is practically reality haha
The actual number was $24.95 (AUD), an increase of 3.5%

Fair work commission still does work fairly well, despite the backsliding under 9 years of the LNP.
Though, due to cost of living, just keeping up with CPI is barely enough
And yeah, every time some right wing fuckwits are complaining about it
No you don't need to be gay to be queer, just the commenter reckons it would be better if pride month didn't share a month with mens mental health month.
I reckon the two don't step on each other's toes
Apparently 30 roses is $200 AUD ($126 USD).
Florists making a killing today.

The only numbers I will ever spell are one and zero, and only when using them as a pronoun, or for emphasis, respectively.
Is there ever a reason to not to use symbols when dealing with numbers? Why would "fourteen whatevers" ever be preferable to "14 whatevers". It's just so much easier to read numbers as symbols, not spelled out.
(Caveat, not including multipliers, like "273 billion").
