Did you verify that, or did you just copy paste a machine-generated comment?

afaik, 'cooker' has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:

From Wiktionary:

  1. (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.
  1. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
  2. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.

Reminder: no out-of-area ('absent') votes in this election.

Council elections may not the be most exciting I find them much more interesting, because while my vote is still statistically negligible, it's much more powerful than in a state or federal election. So less popular choices have a higher chance of competing.

Unfortunately* it feels like most of my local candidates have almost identical policies, so my second and third preferences might as well be a coin flip. At least I know who's going last.

but open to other rabbit holes

If you like satirical comedy or entertaining educational shows, there's a lot on Australian television (particularly shows from the national Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Also, for people who enjoyed The Office (at least, the UK version, I haven't seen the US variant), I recommend Utopia - it's far from a clone but has a lot of similar themes of workplace life mixed with poking fun at bureaucracy and government.

but I don't live in australia, or have a VPN to access ABC iView!

Visit the sidebar resources of !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, or even just YouTube will get you a lot of them.
