Overseas News 🦘

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
  4. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  5. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

WTF?

Wouldn't this put added stress on personnel? To see if they measure up?

Also sounds like he wants soldier bodies to be like machines.

Or is it about some sexuality bias?

The proposal sounds obscene to me.

Twenty years ago in 2006 there weren’t twenty school shootings in the US, nor in the year before nor after

I was being hyperbolic as that’s not the point, I’m simply not interested in discussing America or its problems anymore, I have discussed their issues enough, I don’t understand why you can’t seem to understand this

I understand you don’t like it when people disagree with you and sadly there isn’t enough posts here for us to not run into each other

tbh I’m on the verge of moving to lemmy.world anyway so if you have to block me to maintain your internal peace and calm then do it, it’s been good, I have no problems
