Or get into an occupation or have an employer that bans you from ever doing it.
I will literally never do it, because of that reason.

Yes, let's knock down all the trees, and pave over all the farmland with 100kms of every capital city so that we can build houses for migrants who we don't need here.
Or, just stop importing people.

Cable tricep pushdowns, half assed with fuck all weight, practically air humping to get the weight down, the last rep looks exactly the same as the first (no intensity,) then they slam the stack down at the end for good measure (or even each rep if they're feeling spicy.) Then move on to the leg press to do like 1/6th reps while scrolling on their phone and then fuck off leaving all the plates on the machine. This is how most jeets work out. I think they have cargo cult brain and they believe the act of being in the gym is what brings results.

My impression is they're mostly at the gym to creep on women like how Drexel does.

It is quite a short period to deliberate, all things considered.
Personally I was on a jury that took weeks to hand down the verdict and that was after a several month long trial.
Much of the deliberations is, as the name implies, deliberative. You go step by step, analysing what the charge is, what the instruction is, and then going through the evidence for the charge. Just a guess, but I imagine it would take at least a few days to review the dates and locations, then CCTV footage, and so on, just to confirm the version of events of the prosecution, let alone the rest of it. Then the hours of arguing, hours of smoko breaks where you try and convince certain people or make strategies with allies on how best to argue your case to other jurors, etc.
Great and fun stuff, if you can get on a jury with a juicy/complex case and aren't someone who doesn't want to be there.

The chances of that are pretty slim though right? The two that I was called for were a domestic violence case and a guy who raped his daughter from 7 - 16.

Re all of these comments i wasn't specifically saying it was $5 a day but, previously my experience of Jury Duty was that the employer didn't pay you properly and or it fucked with the rock'N roll payment. Including those "job" centre appointments. Those cunts are worse then case managers for compo claims.
But you really have to sell how racist you are, simply saying something slightly spicy doesn't sell the image that you're a raging racist.
Today i saw no less then 3 thirdies driving like thirdies. A jeet bitch with her mutt spawn nearly merged on top of a motorcyclist going through a round about. It was rather amusing because the bloke on the bike pulled up at the lights put his bike into neutral and proceeded to kick the currymutt's door in. I gave him some encouraging cheers with the window down as i was next to her in the car. there was a nice big dent in her door.
Then pulling out of a side road heading down a street, there was some sort of swamp rat driving up the wrong side of the road directly at me. At least the stupid cunt wasn't speeding for once, i just pulled up and made her move to the correct side of the road. Sadly no cop was around to book the sea rat she probably drove a good 500m. And the last incident was the usual speeding and cutting people off to merge into a single lane.

Very slim, 80% of cases are dead to rights retard got caught red handed and wants to cause more harm to victims/thinks everyone else is retarded and the bloody knife in their hand actually won't convince a jury.
Another 10% is similar to above but with major procedural issues/points of law - less fun for a jury, more as an observer, unless you get a really good defense barrister.
The remaining 10% are those cases that are fun. The likelihood of getting that and not just being a rubber stamp to convict a drug driver/abuser/rapist where evidence is heard and a a verdict given the same day is far higher.

Bit of a politisperg, but I've been watching the government lose its collective mind over the Melbourne synagogue attack while completely ignoring the multiple cases of sexual predators in the daycare system. Just shows how even here with a 0.5% jewish population and no organisations like AIPAC the chosen people(TM) are still the top priority.

Eh, in this instance it's just a case of convenient timing for them. The daycare story and system is a serious issue that hits close to home for literally everyone with a heart (let alone a kid!). Jew spergery though is vitriolic insanity that consumes news cycles and allows them to push forward with bullshit legislation and actions. They're using the Synagogue attack for all it's worth to try and make people forget the 1000's of kids and toddlers forced to get STD tests because a pedo was able to be in the system for a decade.

The pretence it has nothing to do with people unhappy that Israel is committing genocide at the moment is insane. It's another one of those moments where you're not sure if the political class is treating the public as morons or they are putting you in your place.
Did any coverage of the restaurant fight in Melbourne mention it was a protest outside because a co-owner is involved with that bullshit US/Israeli food agency where palestians are lured to food and shot? I'm not entirely sure but I believe the violence was initiated by patrons/staff at the restaurant at protesters outside.
Any reason to believe to fire at a door of a synagog is not like all the previous anti-Semitic things that were people hired and paid online? Funny how they forget that and in NSW the Government was out raged they were asked to testify about that and the hoaxes and what they knew.
Once again, another issue in a western country where there literally isn't a viable democratic option to vote against.

Australia is quietly introducing 'unprecedented' age checks for search engines like Google
Australians will soon be subjected to mandatory age checks across the internet landscape, in what has been described as a huge and unprecedented change.
Search engines are next in line for the same controversial age-assurance technology behind the teen social media ban, and other parts of the internet are likely to follow suit.
At the end of June, Australia quietly introduced rules forcing companies such as Google and Microsoft to check the ages of logged-in users, in an effort to limit children's access to harmful content such as pornography.
But experts have warned the move could compromise Australians' privacy online and may not do much to protect young people.
"I have not seen anything like this anywhere else in the world," said Lisa Given, professor of Information Sciences from RMIT, who specialises in age-assurance technology.
"As people learn about the implications of this, we will likely see people stepping up and saying, 'Wait a minute, why wasn't I told that this was going to happen?'"
From December 27, Google — which dominates the Australian search market with a share of more than 90 per cent — and its rival, Microsoft, will have to use some form of age-assurance technology on users when they sign in, or face fines of almost $50 million per breach.
The search results for logged-in users under the age of 18 will be filtered for pornography, high-impact violence, material promoting eating disorders and a range of other content.
Despite the apparent magnitude of the shift, it has mostly gone unnoticed, in stark contrast to the political and media fanfare surrounding the teen social media ban, which will block under-16s from major platforms using similar technology.
As for why so few people have noticed, it may be because the changes took place away from the halls of parliament, in the relatively dry world of regulation.
They were contained in a new industry code — one of three registered by eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant in June.
All up, the regulator will register nine codes this year, governing the conduct of internet service companies in Australia.
The regulator's media release about the new codes made no mention of the new age-assurance requirements, although Ms Inman Grant briefly mentioned the matter in her recent address to the National Press Club.
"It's critical to ensure the layered safety approach … including on the app stores and at the device level — the physical gateways to the internet where kids sign up and first declare their ages."
Her comments hint at plans for age checks for even more sectors of the internet.
Experts are concerned that almost no-one seems to be aware of the shift.
"This one has kind of popped out, seemingly out of the blue," Professor Given said.
"It's not clear that there is a social licence for such important and nuanced changes," Digital Rights Watch chair Lizzie O'Shea said.
"We would argue that the public deserves more of a say in how to balance these important human rights issues."
Search engines will have a suite of options to choose from for checking the ages of their Australian users.
There are seven main methods listed in the new regulations:
Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) said given the potential privacy impact for millions of Australians, the new rules for search engines may not do enough to keep children safer online.
"One of the other concerns that we have is that there's no evidence as to the efficacy of the [age-assurance] technical controls," EFA chair John Pane said.
"Based on the separate age-assurance technology trial, some of those results have been pretty disheartening."
He also warned the new rules for search engines could be circumvented using virtual private networks (VPNs).
"If the ambition of the government is to prevent children from accessing pornography, they're forgetting straight away the skills of these young people," he said.
Beyond concerns about the accuracy of age-assurance technology and the VPN workaround, the new search engine rules will still allow users to access adult content simply by not logging in.
Logged-out users will instead experience a default safety setting, which will, at a minimum, blur out violent and pornographic images in search results, but likely allow them to avoid the most stringent filters, such as omitting links completely.
"This won't stop the teenager who wants to access pornography from accessing pornography … It won't stop the sharing of pornographic images," Mr Pane said.
"So really it is more performative than it is effective."
The codes are being co-designed by the tech industry and its representative body in Australia, the Digital Industry Group Inc (DIGI), which said the age checks for search engines were part of a bigger picture.
"No single measure is completely foolproof," said DIGI's policy director, Jennifer Duxbury.
Dr Duxbury said the approach was designed to "introduce layers of protection … to reduce exposure of minors to age-inappropriate and harmful content across the digital ecosystem."
Social media platforms and search engines will be the first parts of the internet to introduce age checks for Australians, but they are unlikely to be the last.
App stores, messaging services, porn sites and gambling companies are among a long list of players preparing for similar rules to come into effect.
Draft versions of the remaining six industry codes covering those services and many more contain obligations for age-checking.
The other codes are yet to be approved by the eSafety commissioner, but in the past the regulator has only rejected a proposed industry code because it was not tough enough, meaning the proposed age-assurance rules are very likely to make the final cut.
"We would anticipate these mechanisms being deployed very broadly," Mr Pane said.
"It looks like it's becoming inevitable."
Mr Pane and other digital rights advocates say online age checking may soon be the norm for Australians.
"It's the progression of the loss of our right to be anonymous online," he said.
"This is very much the new reality, and I think there are significant privacy concerns here."
The success of search engines, like social media companies, is built on their ability to create the most frictionless experience possible for their users.
Tech experts say it is possible those companies might simply opt to rely on the user data they have already collected in order to guess a person's age.
"Big tech players like Google have huge repositories of personal data," Mr Pane said.
"Even if they don't have [a user's] name, they know everything else about us from our browsing history and through advertising technologies.
"Google may be able to rely upon information that they hold to infer that you are over the age of 18.
"I think it's too soon to tell," he said.
Search engines have not announced which age-assurance methods they will offer their users.
Whatever their choice, Professor Given said many Australians would have no choice but to go along with it, because they relied on the many services connected to their account.
"They've got [their search engine] linked with their Gmail and bookmarks — there's a variety of things that they're doing in the Google ecosystem," she said.
"For someone who has an account, in order to access that type of functionality, they're going to have to prove their age.
"The internet is a core structure in our lives.
A spokesperson for Communications Minister Annika Wells said the government welcomed the eSafety commissioner's registration of three new industry codes to protect children from age-inappropriate content.
"This is a critical step in implementing the Online Safety Act to keep Australians, particularly young people, safer online, and ensures that industry steps up to the plate to protect their users from harm," the spokesperson said.
"This government has made no secret of its strong commitment to online safety for all Australians, while recognising the need to balance this imperative with protecting the privacy of users."
