10·un anno faWe don’t know how many of those were in operational condition though.
You’re actually making a solid point there, the fact this dude’s daughter is trying to set him up with a friend, and the friend thinks this is an idea worth considering, is quite bizarre.
Not necessarily wrong, just bizarre.
Op learned something that day.
A nuclear safety officer and a chemical engineer are both quite high paying jobs, it’s not that far fetched even today that someone could support a family with that job.
If Al Bundy owns his business, it’s also not very far fetched that a retail store could support a family.
Oh wow, you’re really passionate about not liking camping.
I wouldn’t even register these as different hair styles.
It’s a similar story with cars, unless you’re driving an exotic of some type, only other car people care.

There are many different ones, but the most common one, Ka Mate, is usually performed by sports teams before a game, and is meant to be intimidating.
They were historically performed by a tribe’s mightiest warriors when other chiefs came to visit, as one example. They’re often a war dance, a show of power.
The audience is supposed to be intimidated

33·un anno faYou seem to have a very simplistic view of the world, and don’t seem to be willing to take other points of view on board, so I don’t see much point engaging with you any further.

212·un anno faThe bill was never going to pass, the other two parties in the coalition had made it very clear they would support the bill to its first reading and no further, and only agreed to support it that far because they couldn’t have formed a government otherwise.
This didn’t really change anything.

639·un anno faThey did this right before Parliament was set to vote, and managed to disrupt and delay said vote.
So yes, it was pretty bad.
Both her art style and her takes are bottom of the barrel, and despite that, her supporters are fucking rabid, and will throw every insult they can think of at you.
