There’s a tv show about it called Deep Water. It on Netflix. I’ve not seen the whole thing, but only as it was a little too close to home having grown up around the area in the 80s, & a lot to process.

This is important and I'm happy it's getting attention

It wasn't just Sydney. It was everywhere. People would do this on weekends for fun

"Bracket" covers both in English, to the extent that [ ] are even called "square brackets" and { } are called "curly brackets" (sometimes "braces").

I've now semantically satiated the word "bracket" and it all looks like gibberish. Had to double check!

This is the classical example of how English' possessive S is transitioning from a word case to an enclitic, which is a small word that is not fully independant, but isn't just a part of another word: that you use it at the end of phrases (the Queen of England's funeral)

It's insane. They're just men, that's the fucked up part. People just killing other normal people. Acting as if it's normal. Then others behind them also acting as if it's normal.

There is nothing different from me or another dude just because a chick gets me hard and a dude gets him hard. There's nothing different from me or another dude just because his wife gets him hard, but not me.

Because it's totally fuckin normal to be attracted to things that others aren't and vice versa. An unattractive woman is just as attractive to me as any man.

Yet if that were somehow different and I felt exactly all the same things, but for men instead, how the fuck should I deserve to die for that? IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME. I would be the same person and what would be different is the people I choose.

What a crazy fucking stupid backwards puritanical dip shit fuckin world.

They technically work here but the information seems integral. They're overused in a lot of writing. They are most effective when adding information that isn't easily included by is necessary to understand the sentence. I'm not the only one to say this and there are a couple examples floating around.

Some have free trials with 1-10Gb, and for watching a video it doesn’t matter.

Our first police force (The Rum Corps, as they controlled the rum trade which was used as currency in the colony) was made up of some of the better behaved convicts.

And little has changed lol

Good call. In weird phrasing cases, I usually just break it into smaller sentences. "Scott Morrison is the ex-prime minister. His father was..."

Imagine that... a bunch of murders committed on a penal colony, whowouldathunk? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But in seriousness, that's scary shit.

Edit: You guys can't take a joke.
