Yes I did say something like that Grapps.
Women in Australian (Sahulian) Sport are the Alpha and that's why Female Sport in Australia is rising, while the (Beta) males here are 'fallin'. Afterall, the males only took up Sport here because it was just a good excuse for a piss-up.

...meanwhile in Oceania & Africa: the Males are the Alphas and the Females are the Beta's.

> Don't worry Australia, South American males are Beta's too and we all know those South American Soccer players are the most egotistical, corrupt and grubby excuse for professionals next to Australian men.  Grin

African/Oceanian Males in Sport = Alpha
Sahulian/South American Males in Sport = Beta's.

But hey, let's look further into The Pattern...
and we'll see that in Music in North America - the Females are emerging as the ALPHAS too!!! While the Males fall into Scandal, Rape charges, suicide, drugs/alcohol self destruction and more.

Elvis is not King. He was a fat flop pretender.
The True King of Music will rise in Europe, possibly out of that Cauldron of Germany that made Nick Cave the 'dark angel' that he became.  Wink
Funny how the World laughed at Eurovision - but now it's the most Dominant Music Format in the World.

My, my, the World turns another revolution and some get left behind.


That's because beta males here are joining womens sporting teams Grin

As for Oceania & Africa still being the Alpha males to the female betas ... why would that be?

Would it be because women have less rights & are more oppressed by patriarchal tribal groups?

Grin Grin Grin

Yes. But say in Oceania, Women are dominating Politics, not the Men, because Politics itself is a 'Beta' industry, unlike Sport.  Wink Take NZ's Prime Minister and then the All Blacks  Wink

Woolworths refuses to refund remorseful coronavirus customers who panic-bought toilet paper

https://www.9news.com.au/national/woolworths-toilet-paper-refunds-coronavirus-pa...

I expect Coles, Aldi, etc. to follow Woolworth's lead shortly.

I'd love to see one of the selfish hoarders trying to get a refund.

If they're feeling truly remorseful perhaps they could just give the rolls to one of the many pensioners who haven't been able to get any for the past 2 weeks?

Line-Ups at Public Toilets are getting longer than a toilet roll.

Gonna be a lot of buyers' remorse

especially when the credit card demands start hitting the letter boxes


which will probably lead to trying to offload on ebay



It has to be some cosmic kid's computer game

Why would they want to return them?

The damage has been done.

They may as well hang onto them & use them.

They won't need to buy any for a while.

It's not like they're perishables ... they won't go off.  Grin

The sort of people who would do such a stupid thing are undoubtedly poorly educated.

As a result, they're probably in low-paying jobs (or unemployed).

I'm guessing they need the money.

Yes, really.

I can't find any incidents of it occurring anywhere else before Australia.

Can you?

They were fearful

frightened

scared


primed by the whore media


it brought up the fears of their parents, grandparents

atavistic

hoard

survive


Now they're calmer

and they're out of money

To pay for the hoarding, they postponed paying for other things


Fear is useful and it does lead in many cases to survival

Let's not pay them out

they were obeying primitive instincts


If they're trying to get refunds for toilet paper (in full knowledge that it isn't perishable and that they'll need it a bit further down the track) it means they're in dire straits moneywise, which has now surpassed their fear of being without dunny paper

they're just people

cut them some slack

and you'll receive karmic star on the back of your hand

No dunny rolls in either of the two Woolies stores in the CBD today.

No aspirin, paracetamol, hand wash, or hand sanitiser either.

Pasta and rice shelves were about 70% empty.

People are idiots.

Rivervale IGA in Kooyong Road had about half a dozen toilet roll packs left when I was there about 4 hours ago.

Still don't need any so I didn't buy any.

Might have been the 9 rolls per pack ones, I didn't have a close look so I'm not sure.
