Ah that’s interesting. No fucking idea why I have downvotes on that lol. Damn people are sensitive as shit. They’re called parentheses in English, which is all i was saying. Not mad at u, but downvoting my comment literally makes no fucking sense lol.

Edit: “Parentheses are the curved brackets "( )". They are also called round brackets, curved brackets, oval brackets, or, colloquially, parens.”

So, parentheses is STILL correct in non-American English, it’s a more specific way of saying curved brackets.

That’s really interesting! I took a linguistics course in college and it was fascinating learning stuff like that.

Haha yeah I getcha but that person was using parentheses, not either form of brackets. Although, maybe parentheses are called brackets in other places or something?

Imagine clutching your pearls over privacy while being too cheap to actually pay the companies that provide VPNs and protect internet privacy. You entitled brat.

That's gotta be enough to be banned from all of reddit. I'm sure we'll be seeing this guy on the news for a hate crime in no time.

Spent a few years in and around Bondi during this time and never even knew about this. We were aware of some groups coming from innerwest that came to Bondi to fight and cause trouble but nothing about gay bashings or murder.

Remember reading somewhere that the cops involved were from kings cross

Not even murder can keep people away from Bondi Beach. It's probably the most popular beach in Australia.
