35 Fascinating Things About Australia That Shocked Visitors

Yeah Liberal is the conservative party, Labour is the (slightly) left. Greens are much more left. We also have a ton of other parties. Most of whom don't get any seats or maybe scrape in one or two between them. One of the bigger parties that seems to be struggling is the National Party. I remember them being more of a thing when I was a kid, but now they're more of a sidekick to the Liberals. Honestly, Liberal and Labour feel like the same party to me. Their policies flip flop based on who is in power and proposing stuff. Something that's a great idea because they proposed it last election is suddenly the worst thing ever this election because the other party is supporting it. *UGH*

50 Bits Of Information From The ‘Unusual Facts’ FB Page That May Raise Eyebrows

I think it's enough to cut down on meat consumption, there are so many tasty options that don't require meat, we maybe consume more than we need to but our taste buds will rebel if we try to cut it out altogether. I just try for meat free days or 2 out of 3 main meals being meat free, I don't think I could stick to much more than that, at least right now, maybe I'm getting there slowly.

While I’m sure it won’t deter anyone from eating it, I do like the idea of reminding people where their meat comes from and then maybe wanting better treatment for those animals.

Just how f*****g lonely it is. You are expected at all times to be a simultaneous combination of guardian, emotional caregiver, leader, and provider, on TOP of being relatively successful and 100% independent. And you have to ALWAYS be these things, 100% of the time. It's emotionally exhausting. I know that readers may see this and list any number of the various advantages our unfair society affords men, and I won't argue that they aren't there. But I will state that I feel, and probably many other men would agree with this, that society doesn't really care about the emotional, mental, or social health of men. Chris Rock famously said that only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally; men are loved under the condition of what they can provide. I agree with that statement. It's incredibly dehumanizing and dispiriting to constantly be told what society expects from you and wants you to be, as if all you are is a paycheck to support a family or a fearless leader who exudes strength and never falters.
