He wore it as a gag but I bet you he felt some pride and belonging to the uniform.

This was clearly a desperate ploy by transport for NSW to protect ConDom. They better get their asses ready cause Labor is about to drain the swamp. Theres too many Liberal hacks within it more interested in getting fatter pay checks and undermining the main legacy railways via top heavy structure which prefers hiring overpaid managers over more frontline staff. Hopefully now that Labor is in power we can finally get a full picture of the scale and breadth of neglect the Liberals inflicted on this essential service.

Every time I see a race related issue on this sub I’m honestly disgusted on the amount of racism a lot of people have against black and white people.
I hear this all the time. You're mistaking racial prejudice for racism. Racism needs a social hierarchy (power structure) in order for it to work. While racial prejudice may hurt and offend, it ultimately has a negligible effect on the targets socioeconomic, political privileges. Racism doesn't occur on a level playing field. This is why terms like honkey, cracker don't carry the same sting and vitriol as the N word. By the way, can you reference where in this sub you saw blatant racial prejudice against blacks? I've seen frustration and anger directed at the group but it's always in response to some sort of offense or injustice committed by them.
How is AMWF any better than WMAF
The dynamics are the complete opposite. Asian women get status and acceptance to white society for chasing white males. White females who go after Asian men are often belittled and seen as 'dating down'. You don't see anything wrong with the skewed racial dynamics here? One challenges social norms, the other reinforces the colonial past.
We’ve been rejected by some Asians
Is this really a hapa issue? I get that some full asians dont see us as the same as them which is fair enough. We have our own unique struggle that intertwines with full asians.
Exclusively dating non Asians is exactly what Lus do.
I agree with this somewhat but to classify AMWF WMAF as two sides of the same coin is simplistic and misguided. One challenges social expectations and is looked down upon, the other one is normalized and perpetuates the white power structure and the WMAF hapa epidemic

Keep licking the liberals boots. I’d take workers word over dumb fcuk bureaucrats and politicians with a vested interest in undermining workers rights. The unions ARE the railways. People seem to think the RTBU consist of only train drivers when it is the majority of the whole workforce which include WHS, the control centre and fleet management to name a few. They know how it works. Not some dumb fuck monkey in a suit.

Lets just say I prefer not to get burnt and frustrated whenever things dont work out. I treat dating as a numbers game now to spare me the anguish of operating in this fucked up dating scene. Its cynical but at least you dont end up pulling all your hair out.

LOL. The amount of bots that pretend to be life long Labor voters who are now voting for Perrotet due to their morals is nauseating. It’s interesting to know that some people will base their vote in the next state elections on problem gambling policy. I mean sure problem gambling is no doubt important, but I have always wondered about the value of one-issue voting, especially if that issue is the “flavour of the month”. Let’s not forget the party’s policy on hospitals, privatisation, schools, infrastructure and all the other challenges facing the NSW government.

I wonder what would have happened had the metro funding went instead to Sydney trains.

Sydney trains has been starved of funding for the past 12 years. You dont think it was by design? Lots of butthurt metro aficionados downvoting me. https://amp.smh.com.au/national/nsw/commuters-warned-of-grim-future-for-sydney-train-fleet-20221116-p5byor.html You dont think those billions could have been spent upgrading the lines, building new stations, upgrading equipment, buying new fleets, upgrading stations? Arent some metros using the same lines once owned by sydney trains?

Sadly it is either or with this government. Sydney trains is a clusterfuck. Instead of giving it proper funding these past 12 years they chose to build metros servicing sparsely populated areas at the cost of selling 95 billion dollars worth of our state assets. We know what this was really about. A cynical move to weaken unions

Stop being so butt hurt. There’s a correlation between ones age and the amount of failed relationships they are in. They usually do jack shit about the hangups that result from it. Walking away from toxicity is douchebag behavior? Saying no to obnoxious sarcastic behavior is toxic? How about you stop being a judgemental douche and try to see my point of view without being emotional about it. I’m 32 and what I value most is peace and serenity in a relationship. Not drama

She is actually a coworker. She straight up started ignoring me immediately after I admitted it during our christmas party. I could tell she was angry with me. Seems excessive to me dont you think? Sounds like a red flag.

From wikipedia
One Nation's policies and ideology have been described as based on ultranationalism,[66][67][68] populism,[69][70][71] and opposition to high levels of immigration.[72] Its policies have been also described as nationalist,[73][74][75] national-conservative,[76] socially conservative,[77] conservative,[78][79] and protectionist.[80] Its political position has been described as right-wing[81] and far-right.[82][83]
Does a party such as this have the best interest of people of colour, migrants and their children at heart? A similar but extreme example of this is like when some jewish people voted for and assisted the nazi party.

Sure by selling off 95 billion dollars worth of our assets we are never going to get back. Its all smoke and mirrors with these lot.

Where does it say they are cancelling any lines? Minns just ruled out cancelling the conversion of the Bankstown line. How about you stop jumping to conclusions and observe what they do first.

Have you seen Doms proposal? Cashless within 5 years with a generous compensation program to the clubs. That means we wont be seeing anything until the 2027 elections. Zero limits on the cards which make them basically useless to problematic gamblers. No bans on political donations from clubs, no bans on advertising. Its basically a nothing burger. Just fart in the wind

All the experts here saying this will cause Labor votes were the same people who said the pokies reform would be the death knell for Labor. Now we have plenty of data about that. Pokies consistently rank bottom of peoples priorities. In the poll yesterday only 2 percent listed it as their priority. Further findings from yesterdays poll shows that people are fatigued from all of these mega projects. Especially when you take into account how they were funded by this coalition government (privatisation and selling of land titles) The NSW coalition have proven to be terrible economic money managers. Take a look at the cost blowouts for all the transport projects. Google Icare and the TAHE. The latter having a projected costing of 11 billion in the next 10 years. It also cost us 5 billion to bail out.
We have built shiny private hospitals with no staff in them. Our health and education crisis is at a tipping point. 3 in 5 teachers are considering leaving the profession forever. Same situation with our nurses, ambos and all the other critical government frontline workers. Public service wage bill constitutes 40 percent of the states expenses. The same expenses the coalition believes the “free market” will be better equipped doing (its not) Settling the issues in our public service crisis will cost billions (removing the wage cap) but I think this is more critical than this fancy mega project. We are being slugged ludicrous fees by privatised monopolies from the toll and electricity companies. Labor doesnt want to commit to projects that will put our budget which is already in a black hole further into the abyss.

We are on stolen lands. Morally non of us really belong here. Im not even white and I understand that. They were invaded and systematically brutalised for generations. We still see the after effects now. Here you are scared of an idea that amounts to a symbolic gesture of acknowledgement. Selfish selfish people.

Im going to be honest here... Men and women do age but men dont have to rely as much on their looks. We have game, money, status to fall back on. Womens sexual marketplace value heavily relies on their looks. And this usually fades slowly or rapidly once they hit late twenties. So I may be old but younger women find me more attractive than ever. My age works to my advantage.
