    They were talking about the Moon base being the base camp for a Mars mission.

    The Moon would be a useful leap-off point for further exploration - lower gravity/thinner atmosphere means it's much easier to launch from there, plus it's close enough to resupply.

    Woolworths is coming back to the highstreet, apparently. https://metro.co.uk/2020/10/27/woolw...year-13486187/

    Sure to be crap. It'll never live up to people's rose-tinted memories. Plus the pick'n'mix was extortionate.

    Woolworths is like Serie A being broadcast on terrestrial tv. Everyone says they love it, but no bugger will actually bother.

    I believe that Woolworths story has been confirmed to be a hoax.

    Because apparently we've hit that level of lockdown boredom.

    Nah we're fine, our climate is nice and moderate. There's Billions that absolutely are fucked, but they're all the poverty cases we already resent for trying to come over so it's nothing a bit of racism won't sort.

    I love that a post ending "it's nothing a bit of racism won't sort" was responded to seriously.

    I think you may be sending out the wrong image, Spikey.

    It's the logical end-point of how we already live our lives. If we were willing to give up the majority of our comforts for the benefit of people without them we already would be doing.

    Embrace climate change and the destruction it will cause. One needn't spill a tear for mother nature and planet Earth, they will adapt and do just fine. And without that, all you're left with is man unable to let go of his ego.

    I'll add some rhyming words to the above or break it up into a Rupi Kaur style structure before I publish it.

    Here's something I learnt. Third World to Yanks basically means countries not their mates and not Commie countries - It's a kinda political term for everyone else. To me it always countries that are bascially mega poor and have no food or Playstations.

    Eco-systems collapsing i.e. our food sources not being available will affect the rich as well as the poor. Unless you think stifling heat and extreme weather events are purely a poor problem.

    Third world in this respect would be countries that already endure famine, flooding, drought, forest fires. Even with money, I'm not sure how the likes of Australia are hoping to deal with it. The gaff is already on fire for 3 months of the year.

    Plus, as Keeks says, it's going to shaft eco systems. The seas are already emptying, reefs dying off and forests are pretty much all plantations now.

    Third World is a Cold War era term, the Second World being the communists and the First World (and their problems) being the West.

    It got replaced by the time I was at school with 'developing countries', not sure what the current terminology is. SOAS used to like 'the global south' in my degree but that's SOAS for you.

    I believe 'shithole countries' has made a comeback. All the food problems, temperatures, sea levels etc. can be got around with the sort of pissing about and lifestyle changes that people aren't currently willing to make. Australia, well. Stolen land. You shouldn't be there anyway.

    Nice one Perth.

    Basil Zempilas, who was elected to office earlier this month, told listeners of the breakfast show he co-hosts on 6PR it was "wrong" for someone to identify as a different gender to their physical anatomy.

    "If you've got a penis mate, you're a bloke," he said yesterday morning.

    "If you've got a vagina, you're a woman. Game over."

    Mr Zempilas then laughed off a suggestion by co-host Steve Mills that he would likely come into contact with transgender people in his role as Lord Mayor.

    Ironically this would have been avoided had they been a bit more prejudice themselves and said we're not putting someone who looks like that on the telly.

    That's some backtracking to go from a reasoned explanation of the tattoo that they've clearly asked the poor guy about to 'we are investigating'. Bowing to the maggots.

    I watched the first episode and it was alright other than Lee Mack. He seemed to have a voice over one liner for everything a contestant said.

    It was extremely irritating.

    What they haven't included in that article is the fact that one news outlet found his dad and he's still alive.

    That's not exactly clear, is there a picture of Goebbels on the back of his head or something?
