South Australia: Special Victims Unit 

The capital city of South Australia, previously known as Adelaide has been officially designated a progress free zone because of the huge numbers of hysterical conservatives who bend over vomiting with rage and indignation whenever a new idea is presented.

Taking the stance that 'this new idea means that they think my old idea is bad'; the people of SA:SVU take such ideas, suggestions, and pleas for some sort of progress as a personal affront to their character - something which they shouldn't do, firstly because it's not how to have an adult conversation, and secondly because they have no character to speak of.

While many cities have their fair share of whinging, tiresome old shits; Adelaide has, because of decades of 'bright flight'; been left with a much higher percentage of shits than other major Australian cities.

SA:SVU is now a toxic hell hole for anyone with more than half a brain cell. Investors go where the talent is, and they're not going to Adelaide, the renewal project is a joke, and the festivals such as Fringe only serve to advertise what you can get in other cities all year round; but can only get in Adelaide for one month a year.

Those not ranting hysterically are making excuses for Adelaide; that a city with a population of 1.2 million doesn't need more business, entertainment, big name artist performance, good governance, or opportunities for young people to do well in their life.
Me: Hey, this bar has got half as many people in it as last year - how about we do something different to bring more punters in?

Special Victim: Well, I don't know why you've made that suggestion; you obviously hate the place. I go there, I suppose you hate me too. Gees, why can't you just accept the place for what it is ant stop being so negative?

Me: I see we're playing South Australia: Special Victims Unit again.

walmart victims 

There are several kinds of walmart victims:
1.) A small town business that is devastated when walmart comes to town. When walmart comes to town, the small family-owned stores are often driven out of business.
2.) Workers that lose their jobs when walmart's pro-china policies force companies to move factories to China to keep costs down. The money grubbing scum now running walmart have a "low prices at any cost" policy that costs America 1000s of jobs every year.

Sam Walton (walmart founder) would be horrified by this pro-china bullshit! Walton used to brag about his pro-America business policies and the jobs they created! My how times have changed!
3.) People who manage to keep their jobs are often forced to accept lower wages with the threat of their company moving to China.
4.) Taxpayers everywhere that have to pay more in state taxes to cover the taxes walmart avoids (see walmart tax)
5.) CD, DVD and even books that are censored for sale at walmart (see walmartized)
Many American workers become walmart victims when their employers are pressured (threatened) by Walmart to move operations to China to "cut costs."

The huge buying power of the walmart empire has the power to ruin a business if it doesn't comply with their demands and their victims are powerless to fight it!

The Victims 

The official fanclub of the US rock band "The Killers". Fans that know every single song including demos, album tracks, b sides and christmas songs, not just Mr Brightside or Human.

Will usually reject Hot Fuss as the best album and say Sam's Town is instead. Don't just love them because of Brandon Flowers. Usually found on The Victims site, in Twitter communities or gigs. Usually noticiable by the official Victims shirt. Probably the most devoted group of fans...
You know of The Victims?

No who are they?

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
