These figures could have been much worse, with more than 8,800 rescues performed by lifeguards and volunteer surf lifesavers in the past year.

Studies have consistently reported a greater prevalence of MTF than FTM, the odds are in favour of the ladies in all directions

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

A greater prevalence of what?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Transition.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but gender transitioning doesnt save people from depression like they say it does, my evidence is the various detransitioners that regret it

Never said I hated or was scared of trans people, I dont know what you are talking about. A phobia is an extreme hatred or fear of something, i.e: long words, or even certain inanimate objects, fear of heights is another one. Calling me a “transphobe” is inaccurate because I barely fit within the lines of the definition of that terminology.

Majority of people who saved someone from drowning are men, too. Men are overrepresented in most statistics.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

My strategy has been to stay out of the water.

I am allegedly yet to drown.

Hold me Fosters. Whatchdiss!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fosters: it's Australian for "pissweak beer we serve to Yanks".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It is “making love on a surfboard” beer.

Imagine how much worse it could get if they drank something with alcohol in it.

Is XXXX still big in Queensland?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Gold is. Bitter is much harder to get today than it was 20 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Great Northern. It's basically XXXX but about 20 times worse, tastes terrible, and sells like crazy. I don't understand.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My mate drinks it. It's the cheap white bread of beer. Nothing more or less.

Perfect description

Romeo found Juliette looking really sick, instead of skulling Cyanide, should’ve got a slab of Vic!

(Apologies to the Oxo Cubans and anyone who actually likes the taste of beer).
