Yes Definitely Tax gas…

But, the rest of this sounds like crap

I’ve never been to a public hospital that wasn’t free. I went to the GP twice in the past 2 weeks… Free. When I was hit by a car… FREE. Even Flying doctors from my understanding are free, and we now have urgent care clinics too to free up hospital resources (and, pharmacists can do vaccinations, to further free up resources).

We have cheap drugs, and its so cheap, that Trump was trying to strong-arm Australia into raising their prices. And, a lot of free vaccinations

Public schools are also free (although, I went Private)

We have one of the best health care systems on the planet, and its actually admired by a lot of countries (just like our gun laws). Dental is the only thing not free

The whole “we’ve had enough” tagline sounds like something Pauline or Nationals would scream honestly (and, I suspect most Aussies have had enough of them). We’re actually doing better than those guys want people to believe.

But, yes, other than that, I want Gas to be taxed, and then use the money for electrification for full long term energy independence thats clean.

It’s one seat.

They completely lost SA. The only thing that has changed in 30 years is that Pauline has started pretending she’s a successful politician

We have preferential voting and most people will still put her close to last

Most of us hate Trump and Gina. Just because its hair is orange instead of its face doesn’t mean we’ll be fooled

ON supporters just tend to be vocal idiots

A good thought experiment is the covid vaccine. Based on social media, you’d think we were all worried about it. However, if you then click on their profile, it’s almost always a car, truck, guns or horse… And those seem to be the communities causing 99% of the noise. Even if we assume some people lied about the vaccine, it’s still likely 9/10 people with it

It’s a religion. Why would they be closing their doors at all?

There are going to be a lot of people who go quiet in a few months when the rental market doesn’t suddenly destroy itself, and they realise they can’t simply double rent 😂

Thank god.

We don’t need monuments to convicted criminals and suspected pedophiles here.

No doubt there will be a follow-up by Trump saying our property market is f**ked or something

Or something they know they they can’t respond to adequately. Which, is almost everything

I used to sell them.

The reality is, Apple Succeeded by lying about their stability, people thought they couldn’t get viruses, and people wiling to overlook their f***-ups.

Here in Australia, a week before Boot camp was released, i actually showed a national sales manager how we got Windows running on a Mac mini, and told him how it would be a great transition technology. He basically tried to make me look like an idiot in front of customers in our showroom.

A week later, boot camp was released. The same guy returned, and was repeating all the same arguments I made a week ago, and was proud of them, acting like Apple’s was brilliant. I got no apology. I should have called him out at the time, burnt my bridges and demanded an apology.

The things Microsoft and Google did are honestly less bad than honestly. Apple blatantly lied about a lot of things, stood on stage and pretended like they had full rights to multitouch, and they had invented it.

In fact, Microsoft bailed out Apple in 1997, and the moment they started recovering, they treated Microsoft like crap

Better off going elsewhere for Linux.

Linux will always be a second class citizen for Apple.

Not in my household. In some cultures the concept of 0 doesn’t even exist

This guy is definitely in the Epstein files… probably a supplier…

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Yep… Here in Australia, they call them all “Raj”.

Not all of them, but, at least on Facebook, they seem to make us look bad internationally

They should have polled how many people think Trump is a pedo… That number better be 100%

Sailfish is also a great option too

The “problem” are already having a hissy fit and pretending they work hard, and they’re going to ramp up rent bigly.

It’s a good reform. And it encourages building new houses too

I hate trackpads in general.

Their first gen of touchpad however was the worst I ever saw

It was on the last PowerBook pro (I think)

And it was just yet another example of bad hardware apple released, but few people talk about, and Steve was in charge when it happened

This is particularly an issue here in Australia.

Our most vocal racist community is our Truckie community. They blame everyone for everything except themselves. They even argue that normal drivers shouldn’t pull over for sleep and that it’s killing Truckies (less spots for them to stop). It’s always about them…

And they always love to emphasise how important and irresplacable they are, despite the fact it’s one of Australia’s lowest skilled jobs.

When fuel prices went up, many of them were demanding they strike and block all the roads because many signed bad/risky contracts they didn’t want to blame themselves for

Not all of them, but the problem is so bad a newspaper even recently published how toxic they were

Or is it similar to covid, where Trump simply stopped counting properly? And nobody bothers reporting anymore because Trump will release them anyway

That’s unfortunately pretty standard.

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned. I’ve literally reported people inciting violence towards others. However, it seems permitted by community standards these days

I’ve been trying (like everyone else) for steam controller.

My sidewinder was awesome. Actually forgot all about it
