Respectfully, I am very confident you are misreading this situation. The thought patterns displayed in the original post are almost textbook typical of major depression and would be extremely atypical of someone who is a genuine emotional manipulator.

Other posts here have given genuine good advice, unfortunately I have to agree that while I am sure you are well meaning, you are being quite unhelpful here.

Apricots, upside down pears, Easter eggs, those teeny tiny sealed shot glasses of UHT milk you get in hotels, those big marbles we used to call Tom bowlers in primary school, eye balls, a large toy ant(assuming 6 holes in the holder rather than 12, otherwise 2 large toy ants)

The possibilities are endless!!!!

This is true, an egg won't last long unrefrigerated after its opened ;)

Yep, that'll fix the problem.....

One has to wonder, did the writers of this law want:

a. to limit the profile of fascists

Or

b. punish people protesting against fascists

🤔

I don't care what it costs. The idea that one person has the right to rule over others is offensive whether it is symbolic or not.

It's not a bad measure but I don't think it's the best, I'm currently working my way through Spirit Level and so I think some measure like the Gini coefficient would be important.

I think that median income, Gini coefficient, poverty rate and something like the human development index would give a decent overall picture. I don't think a single metric really does the job.

This group is interesting

Global Governance Forum

Especially their Second UN Charter .

Sensible people have been suggesting that investing in real estate needs to be less attractive for decades. F***ing Paul Keeting tried to end negative gearing in the 80s. Millionaires didn't like it to the degree that it might've swung a couple of marginal seats and it probably didn't help that Hawke had a few investment properties himself.

When the only people with political power would lose out from sensible policy then it doesn't happen.

Let's all agree to stop calling our system a democracy.

In much the same way that almost no one has perfect physical health, almost no one has perfect mental health.

You don't need to be a complete wreck to be able to benefit from paying attention to your mental wellness.

Eating well, regular exercise, mindfulness, forgiveness, good sleep practices are all worth practicing whether you feel unwell or not.

I'm a huge advocate of gardening. It gets you outdoors and active, gives a sense of achievement, you learn and improve over time, it's popular enough that you can get involved in a community, if you're growing veg it promotes healthy eating.

It should be mandatory.

I'm lucky to have been able to experiment a bit with this as my work is flexible and I'm in a pretty good bargaining position. I also do a fair bit of unpaid work out of hours.

Having either Friday or Monday I've found to be little different. Having alternating Fridays and Mondays is pretty awesome, 4 days on, 2 off, 4 on, 4 off.

There's a lot to be said for a mid week day off too. I'm looking at moving to a new employer and hoping to go negotiate a 3 day week, maybe Mon-Tues-Thur for example which will be heaven if I can pull it off.
