Today I learned that being pissed and carrying on is actually an "alcohol disorder" and a mental health condition.




Waverley Local Court in Sydney’s east heard on Thursday that Mr X would look to deal with the domestic violence-related charges on mental health grounds.  The court previously heard Mr X had an alcohol disorder, which was a factor in some of his alleged offending.
Mr X's lawyer said he would look to deal with the matters under mental health provisions, which could see the charges dismissed on the basis Mr Slater gets ongoing treatment.

It all comes down to, if you are in one of the 'correct' and accepted social tribes.

Because if you are, vie hav vays of ensuing that you 'get a pass', and avoid all real accountability, for your 'unintentional', and forgivable, social 'faux pas'.

We forgive you.





Another example of moral equivocation on display, after wrongdoing, by two 'correct' ['unimpeachable'] persons,
each one hailing from a 'protected', 'virtuous tribe'.

Just lucky neither of them, were Christian Porter, eh !!!

Are you really that naive?
lawyers will put spin on anything to defend their client. If you are relying on defense lawyers to learn language you really should get out more

Hey !!   It was     this ISLAMIC woman     who assaulted the LGBTIQXYZ-er.

And it was     this ISLAMIC woman     who was subsequently heard to threaten to kill all the 'faggots' [LGBTIQXYZ-ers],
because 'they' were LGBTIQXYZ-ers.

It was not Yadda.



Yadda is not guilty.

Yadda did not [and never has] assaulted the LGBTIQXYZ-er.

Yadda did not [and never has] threatened to kill all the 'faggots' [LGBTIQXYZ-ers].



It was that   ISLAMIC woman    who was accused

Hey barnacle.

Got any other observations that you would like to share with us ?

Princeton University's black academics' demands

Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup and its hiring practices. It is the problem that faculty of color are routinely called upon to remedy by making ourselves visible; by persuading our white colleagues to overcome bias in hiring, admission, and recruitment efforts; and by serving as mentors and support networks for junior faculty and students seeking to thrive in an environment where they are not prioritized. Indifference to the effects of racism on this campus has allowed legitimate demands for institutional support and redress in the face of micro-aggression and outright racist incidents to go long unmet.

At this moment of massive global uprising in the name of racial justice, we the faculty—Black, Latinx, Asian, and members of all communities of color along with our white colleagues—call upon the University to take immediate concrete and material steps to openly and publicly acknowledge the way that anti-Black racism, and racism of any stripe, continue to thrive on its campus. We call upon the administration to block the mechanisms that have allowed systemic racism to work, visibly and invisibly, in Princeton’s operations. We call upon the University to amplify its commitment to Black people and all people of color on this campus as central to its mission, and to become, for the first time in its history, an anti-racist institution.

We urge you to acknowledge and give priority to the following demands:

2.  Form an internal committee of faculty and students of color to whom the University, in carrying out this work, remains accountable.

15.  Remove questions about misdemeanors and felony convictions from admissions applications, and all applications to work and/or study at Princeton. In recognition that mass incarceration and predatory policing not only menace the safety of all people of color at the University and their families but also hinder our community's progress towards racial justice, heed the Princeton Faculty Call to Action to Divest from Private Prison and Detention Corporations.

16. Don't ever mention black crime, family breakdown, welfare dependency.

War connects nations and peoples in new  ways—either as allies, enemies, or refugees and asylum seekers. The result is a new exchange of words and worldviews.

Some expressions or words that have been idling in a language spring to life in war. Take the Gulf War and Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, who in 1990 described the conflict as the “mother of all battles.” The expression was a calque, or direct translation, from the Arabic umm al-ma‘ārik, and it had barely been used in English since the 1930s. Now there are countless new adaptations—mother of all sanctions (against Russia), mother of all deadlines (Christmas), mother of all recessions (1992) and so on.

The word mud, now a slang term for heroin, entered English in the First Opium War as slang for “opium.” It was a calque from Chinese, in which smoking opium was expressed as yān tu, or “smoke soil.”

As Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, we saw BBC footage of Ukrainian grandmothers making Molotov cocktails. The original Molotov cocktail was Finnish slang for the makeshift hand grenades thrown at Soviet tanks when they entered Finland in 1939. Appropriating the pseudonym of the Soviet minister for foreign affairs Vyacheslav Molotov (molot means “hammer” in Russian), the cocktails were named in response to “Molotov’s breadbaskets”—containers carrying bombs used by the Soviets against Finland.

When the First World War ended, soldiers brought new language home with them: cheerio (which first appears in a letter from Rupert Brooke in 1914); salvage (as soldiers helped themselves to items left behind by fleeing civilians); civvies, non-uniform clothes; to tick off (first recorded in a letter from Wilfred Owen); scupper and rehab. The Second World War brought lurgy and VIP. Vietnam gave us clusterfcuk, the nasties, the enemy, and klicks for kilometre. Time will reveal the full extent of the impact of the war in Ukraine on the English language.

Words
On the ABC nowadays every broadcast is from some Gadigal Land or Cammeragay Land or some other unknown Aboriginal name for wherever there are ABC studios.


Also, in every media outlet, any Aborigine is identified a 'proud [their tribe's name here] man/woman'.  What if everyone else started saying what tribe or region their great grandparents came from? 'Proud Dorset man, proud Shopshire Lad, proud Aarhus, Randers & Skanderborg man, proud Vaud woman' etc.

Attitude/sentiment
The other thing that hit my ears yesterday was the gushing about how fascinating Europeans would have found things Australian. It was about Josephine Bonaparte's private garden at Château de Malmaison. I never hear about Aborigines finding European things like the printing press or the automobile 'fascinating'. You never hear about Aborigines eagerly taking up any of the new things Europeans brought. Europeans are gushingly fascinated and amazed by Aboriginal ways but Aborigines can't be fagged about any of the new things Europeans have brought. All just white fella devilry. The language is always about Aborigines improving Europeans and never, on pain of death, can anything be said the other way around. You never hear, 'thank god the European put an end to the practice of x and brought y, z and w to make life better'. It is an utter taboo. i

That sound menacing....

https://youtu.be/9OB72GZOS4c

Fun and Funny appeared in the lexicon in circa 1750, Of course they would have been in use before that. But one is a noun and the other an adjective. They do not pertain to the same thing as the first is about pleasure and the second is about something which is humourous. Pleasure does not necessarily cause laughter.
Now we hear Americans using Fun as an adjective. "That was so "fun." No matter how many times I hear it, it sounds clumsy to me. Where I would say "that was so much fun," it remains a noun.

And then we hear of one thing being "funner" than another, but I think this is chosen because it sounds funny.

he Australian Broadcasting Commission’s wokerati want me to use Aboriginal words in my everyday discourse. They’d like me to say at dinner parties that I grew up in Boorloo (formerly called “Perth”), moved to the press gallery in Ngunnawal Country (“Canberra”) and finally settled down in Naarm (formerly “Melbourne”) out near ‘Mirring-gnay-bir-nong’, (“Maribyrnong”) which translates as ‘I can hear a ringtail possum’.

As the ABC puts it in their 2019-22 Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), it wants Aboriginal languages and cultures normalised to become a part of my daily life, creating openings “to start conversations and to embrace and form personal connections with Australia’s ancient cultures.” (p6).

The ABC’s inescapable avalanche of Aboriginal words and acknowledgements and tributes is, it says, just

the first stage of a longer journey … The overarching project of fostering a richer and more inclusive national conversation that the ABC is committing to will take many years and will continue beyond the end of this Elevate RAP and into the next. It is one small contribution to the broader journey to reconciliation. (p6).

A key goal is indoctrinating small kids to kow-tow to the Aboriginal Industry. For example, ABC Kids launched 27 episodes of Little Yarns where tots learn a word of two while absorbing the ABC’s version of Aboriginality – “family, nature, culture and belonging.”[1] Play School took up the pledge with “Specials…including the landmark episode, Acknowledgement of Country, celebrating Aboriginal culture and language.”[2]

ABC classroom materials combine the usual Disneyfied version of Aboriginal culture with wallows in victimhood and massacres.
....


The language push, incidentally, seems to involve yet another revenue stream for the Aboriginal Industry. The ABC’s dousing of words onto their airwaves is always preceded by “rights and release forms enabling Indigenous communities to retain the copyright and ownership of their cultural knowledge and languages.”

I had some tatted drug/alcohol scum get violent with me, claiming his 'mental health' disorders were an excuse to do so.

I responded, before nearly removing both his eyeballs from his sockets - that I'm not in the Medical Industry, so I don't have to give a rats about his mental health excuses..
He sincerely apologised in order to keep his eyesight and thanked me for it, as I walked away.

See. A bit of 'discipline' and physical stimulation goes a long way with the mentally challenged.

"Should of"/"could of".  Plain wrong, but they arise because we tend to
pronounce the phrases as should’ve and could’ve, so the phonetic effect
has overtaken the correct form.  Shoulda, coulda…

“I got it for free” is a pet hate.  You got it “free” not “for free.”  You don’t
get something cheap and say you got it “for cheap” do you?

“I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less” has to be the worst.
Opposite meaning of what they’re trying to say.  Duh.

“Reach out to” when the correct word is “ask.” For example: “I will reach
out to Bruce and let you know if that timing is convenient.”   Reach out?
Is Bruce stuck in quicksand? Is he teetering on the edge of a cliff?  Can’t
we just ask him?

When you pronounce the "h" in ‘house’, ‘herd’ and 'horse' but not ’herbs'.
Explain yourselves, America!

What kind of word is “gotten”?   It makes me shudder.  It's ugly.

Another annoying Americanism is “a million and a half” when it is clearly
one and a half million!  A million and a half is 1,000,000.5, where one and
a half million is 1,500,000.

"In back of".  Another Americanism which means "behind".  Like their English.

"Outside of the hotel".  Nope.  Just "outside the hotel".

"When on a plane run by an American airline and they say ‘the plane will
be taking off momentarily.’  As an Aussie that means for a brief period of
time,  IE: only for a moment.

Why do Americans say "Excuse me" if they mishear something?  Did they
fart maybe?  What happened to "Pardon me" I didn't hear you?

Which brings us on to "like" as in: She was like, ‘I’m so over you’ and he
was like, ‘I don't care’.  Horrible.  Truly.

Cambridge Dictionary Changes The Definition Of 'Definition'

CAMBRIDGE — In an effort to get ahead of the ever-changing definitions of commonly used words due to evolving societal norms, the Cambridge Dictionary has announced that it has changed the definition of the word "definition."

"Whereas in the past, the term ‘definition' would, in fact, provide a very clear understanding of the actual meaning of a word, we can simply no longer inflexibly define what a definition is," said Cambridge University Professor Reginald Binghamton-Wallace in a statement regarding the landmark change. "Defining ‘definition' would potentially limit words to having actual meaning, which is no longer possible today."

The announcement was met with a mixture of confusion and uncertainty regarding the impact this would have across both academia and the general public. "So we're not even allowed to have definitions of words because the word ‘definition' isn't defined the same anymore?" asked Nashville singer-songwriter Kenny Carter when asked for comment. "What does anything mean anymore? Does anything mean anything? Or does nothing mean anything? Who am I? What is existence?"

Key decision makers at Cambridge University Press reportedly made the change in a bid to compete with the progressiveness of other popular dictionaries from Miriam-Webster and Oxford University. "We can't allow ourselves to be out-progressed," Professor Binghamton-Wallace said. "This is definitely a contest."

At publishing time, the dictionary makers were also believed to be engaged in discussions regarding adopting a new "Choose Your Own Definition" feature to potentially incorporate into its future editions, although it was at that point unclear what a "definition" was.

Oh no! It's the Great Reset in 'definition'. :o :o :o

I don't think it would stand up in court.

It's a satire piece and you've all fallen for it.

For a mad woman with scattered underwear one has to flag a joke as a joke otherwise she will feel cheated about not being told it is a joke.

I didn't need to be told Frank, obviously. Your audience did.

And you just sat back and watched them, no doubt immensely pleased with yourself.

But if you ever cited your sources you wouldn't get yourself into these situations now would you.

Only an idiot would not see it for the obvious spoof it is - dictionary redefines the definition of definition.

But for woke idiots like yoh, EVERYTHING must be trigger warned, fact checked, approved, verified and authorised. Because you cannot think for yourselves unauthorised. You are authority, credential, approval mad.

And if you are not told that a pisstake is a pisstake, you would take it seriously because you live in a joke world in which nothing is too outlandishly stupid any more. 

Again, i didn't need to be told. Obviously.

Your audience did.

Why don't you cite your sources, Frank? Is it because you're ashamed of them, you're straight up plagiarising,  or because you never learned how at the University of Baloney?

I suspect all factors contribute.

It is VERY telling that you could easily accept that a dictionary redefined the meaning of 'definition' since you have eagerly accepted every other redefinition of ordinary words. No progressive absurdity is too far to your mind. You cannot see the satire when it comes to such progressive absurdities because to your mind there must be no limit set to them - that would be oppressive, conservative.



Nation's Progressives Give Thanks That They Have So Much To Be Angry About This Year
U.S. - In honor of Thanksgiving week, the nation's progressives have begun to give thanks that they have so much to be angry and offended about this year.

"Thank you, unspecified deity who may or may not exist, for giving us so much stuff to be outraged about," said Staci Walder, 42, of Portland, as she prepared her vegan, kale-wrapped turkey. "I'm truly humbled that you've blessed me with the Trump presidency, the patriarchy, the laws of economics, and biological facts to rage against."

"Every year, it's important to pause and recognize how much we have to be angry about."

"A lot of people struggle with gratitude, but I'm deeply thankful that the universe has given us a veritable cornucopia of things to be mad about," agreed Mary Wallace, 27, of New York. "I know that I come from a place of privilege, and when I think about those poor people who have absolutely nothing to be mad about, I utter a prayer of thanks to goddess."

Many progressives partake in an annual tradition of writing down all the things they're thankful to be mad about:

White people
Pronouns
Personal responsibility
Satire that does not affirm their viewpoint
Billionaires
Old tweets
32-ounce sodas
Plastic straws
People who hold a steady job
Appropriating other cultures
Excluding other cultures
Bush
Obama
Trump
Babies
Kanye West
America

"If we'd all just remember to count our outrages, we'd have a much worse attitude all the time," Wallace said as she looked over her own list of offensive things that dare to exist. "We should live our lives as though it's Outrage Thanksgiving every day."
