@bears0 @ClownWorld Do you believe most people who watch this also know this?

@Stetchman @ClownWorld Of course it’s staged. Duh

This is a universal hand signal people use to silently ask for help without alerting the person they’re with… remember this just in case

These stats aren't ironclad they provide useful population-level signals (e.g., millions affected annually, both genders experience it, underreporting is widespread), but variables like those above mean we can't treat any figure as precise or fully representative. The most balanced view comes from triangulating multiple sources (NISVS, crime victimization surveys, clinical studies, etc.) while acknowledging the gaps.

NEW: 'Bachelorette' star Taylor Frankie Paul says *she* is the victim after an alleged video was released showing her launching metal bar stools at her ex. Her statement says that "too many women" are "suffering in silence." "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security," a spokesperson for Paul said to People. "After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm." It is worth noting that her child was apparently caught in the crossfire during her fight with her ex. "There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives." "Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story." Wild.

@Mlu__N2 What you are witnessing is the birth of a Karen

No listening to anyone chewing or coughing..... I can take a nap and not feel guilty.

@JusoBuzz @ClownWorld Ok let's put some logic behind this then shall we. Now in order for this to be effective it would require a large social awareness campaign. Now guess what the perpetrators are now also aware of it rendering the whole scheme useless.

@Stetchman @ClownWorld Are you also complaining about other commercials about safety as "being staged"? Do you really not understand that people are getting abused by their partners and that advertising for a common signal might help in getting help? Only an abuser himself would likely not want that.

@JLrTk @7NewsSydney What do you mean they dont represent Muslims, this is the largest mosque in NSW. The worst of it is you dont see any of these leaders on tv or social media condemning the actions of these members.

@7NewsSydney Bro firstly they represent Palestinians not Muslims… 🤣 his responsible for the death of 1 billion people, just gives you an idea of the iq of these guys. They don’t represent Muslims, I’m Muslim albanese is welcome to my mosque any day

Wild scenes inside the Lakemba Mosque after a visit by the Prime Minister became chaotic and threatening. Anthony Albanese had to be hurried away after some in the crowd began hurling abuse as others tried to wrestle them away.

What would you do if you saw this?

The desire for a society driven by virtue, community, and mutual uplift rather than mere capital accumulation is a deeply noble goal. However using a punitive tax code as the mechanism to engineer that society fundamentally misunderstands human nature and how incentives work. Here is why that specific idea often fails to achieve its virtuous end: 1. You Can't Tax People into Virtue Taxation is an instrument of economics and law, not of moral persuasion. When you implement a 70% marginal tax rate, you aren't teaching a business owner to be less greedy; you are simply changing the math on their return on investment. As the video shows, the response isn't, "I will keep working hard so the state can use my money for good." The response is, "The juice is no longer worth the squeeze. I'm going fishing." 2. Virtue Requires Moral Agency Philosophers have long argued that for an act to be truly virtuous, it must be voluntary. If a billionaire voluntarily gives away 70% of their wealth to build hospitals or fund education, that is a virtuous act. If the government threatens them with prison if they don't hand over 70% of their wealth, they aren't being virtuous-they are just complying with the law. Forced redistribution removes the moral agency of the individual. 3. The Collateral Damage of Ignored Reality When policies are enacted based purely on how we wish people behaved rather than how they actually behave, the collateral damage usually falls on the working class. In the video's scenario, the millionaire owner goes to play golf-he will be fine. But the employees he furloughs because he capped his income are the ones who suffer. The attempt to punish the wealthy end up hurting the workers. 4. Misunderstanding What Drives Innovation While pure greed is destructive, the desire to improve one's own standing is a massive driver of human progress. The monetary gain is often just a metric of the value someone has provided to society. If we entirely remove the monetary incentive, we don't necessarily get a society of altruistic volunteers; history suggests we often get economic stagnation. Instead of trying to force human nature to change through punitive laws (which fails, as the video showed), achieving sustained abundance changes the environment, allowing human nature to naturally elevate itself. Here is why your theory makes a lot of sense from a psychological and economic standpoint: 1. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in Action Psychologist Abraham Maslow noted that human beings are driven by a hierarchy of needs. As long as people are stuck at the bottom—worrying about survival, security, housing, and paying bills—their primary motivation will be acquiring the resources (money) to secure those things. However, if sustained abundance guarantees those baseline needs, people naturally move to the top of the pyramid: self-actualization, creativity, problem-solving, and morality. You don't have to force people to be virtuous if they are no longer in "survival mode." 2. The Shift in How We Measure Status Human beings are inherently driven by status and the desire to be valued by their peers. In a world defined by scarcity, accumulating wealth is the primary way to signal status and success. But in a world of sustained abundance—where everyone has access to a high standard of living—hoarding money loses its social power. If everyone has enough, status will inevitably shift toward contribution. People will compete to be the best artist, the greatest inventor, the most generous philanthropist, or the most dedicated community leader. The "currency" of society would shift from capital to character. 3. The End of Zero-Sum Thinking Scarcity breeds a zero-sum mentality: "If you get a slice of the pie, my slice gets smaller." This naturally leads to greed, hoarding, and cutthroat competition. Sustained abundance changes the game to a positive-sum reality. When resources are plentiful (perhaps driven by AI, advanced robotics, and breakthroughs in cheap energy like fusion), the fear of "missing out" or "not having enough" evaporates. It becomes much easier to be guided by virtuous goals when helping someone else doesn't cost you your own security. 4. Evolution Over Revolution Attempting to tax society into virtue is a top-down, artificial revolution that clashes with reality. Sustained abundance, on the other hand, is a bottom-up evolution. It says: let's build an economic and technological engine so powerful and efficient that the basic struggle for survival becomes a thing of the past. Once that happens, the obsession with monetary gain will naturally wither away, not because it was banned, but because it became obsolete. It’s a profoundly optimistic view of the future. It relies on human ingenuity to solve the problem of scarcity, trusting that once we are freed from the grind of survival, our better angels will take over.

@9NewsMelb Keep entertaining the boomers they are the only ones left watching this tripe.

Commuters are being warned their bank cards can be charged from inside handbags and wallets, if they get too close to new ticketing gates. #9News

This video was posted on the official NDIS Instagram page of Borealis NDIS Services in Bankstown Sydney. This business is supposed to look after disabled kids

@SteveWoosnam @DrewPavlou

@DrewPavlou Cool and the problem is what exactly?

Diagnosis of fetal abnormality About half the small number (1%) of later gestation abortions (after 20 weeks) occur because of fetal abnormality. These diagnoses occur later in pregnancy, with the timing of tests and procedures that screen for and diagnose serious fetal abnormalities dictating the timing of a woman’s decision to abort. There is a range of screening tests in the first trimester. Some indicators then require further diagnostic tests but results may not be available until after 14 weeks gestation. If a decision is made to proceed to abortion it is usually then performed in the second trimester. The next screening test is a morphology scan at 19 – 20 weeks gestation. Until this point in the pregnancy, many serious abnormalities will not be detectable. If abnormalities are identified on this scan, further investigations are often required including second ultrasound, genetic testing, fetal MRI, and referral to other specialists. Some complex clinical conditions can take even more time before a confident clinical picture or the safest time for abortion is determined.

Who in their right mind would vote for that hysterical screeching banshee

@Theblackfemini3 Who in their right mind would listen to this self righteous Karen.

@equalasdust @AvidCommentator So he saves his business to hurt a few others businesses, complete sense

@AvidCommentator People stunned by this apparently don’t know that people operate heavy machinery for their livelihood

@r3tarddownunder @NatCookMP Look at the substance of what this woman is asking she is either stupid or just chasing views with some fake virtue. share.google/aimode/iVWu5UV…

If these retards think they are being “harassed” because a member of the public wants to ask them a question, they shouldn’t be allowed to run for office. Watch @NatCookMP ask for the police to be called 😆

@melaniedoak So are you saying there is no misuse of taxpayer funds on NDIS?

@financedystop I feel for this guys but if he got into medicine for the right he would see that this will mean affordable access to health services for everyone.

This doctor is stunned that 20 years of training can now be replicated by AI diagnosing these X-rays in seconds.

@alpsa If you believe this video which my 5 year old could have done is going to convince voters than you may as well hand over the keys now.
