And then they start on about “What about long trips?”, and I’ve known them for over 20 years, and the only travel they’ve ever done is from the airport.
This is also why they buy those massive 4WDs as city and suburban people. It’s for the imaginary off road camping trip they are definitely going to go on…one day. Could just buy a normal car and hire the 4WD, but no - they plan their entire life around the one thing that will never actually happen.
This article and a lot of the response online is taking it way too seriously. The hosts asked him who his favourite Luigi in recent American history was and Key immediately cracked up before Day had even answered. Everyone knew where it was going, it was an obvious setup for some dark humour and not a serious question about serious political views. Like maybe he actually believes that, maybe he doesn’t, but if that’s what you’re concerned about then you completely missed the point here.
Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus
I fucking hate his “single mum in public housing” story so much. He’s 63 and prime minister, it ceased being relevant decades ago. Having a poor parent is also very different to being poor as an adult, as anyone who has been in both situations knows. Constantly bringing up it up to try to appear empathetic to the poor adults of today just makes him look clueless, especially when he continuously fails to back it up with anything of substance. The only people who think it holds any weight are middle-class Labor diehards who don’t have any lived experience of this and therefore believe the childhood sob story makes him some kind of perfect centre-left politician.
Labor have no viable opposition
In an ordinary world, yes, but things are rapidly spinning out of control and very far from ordinary. These are exactly the types of conditions grievance merchants love and it will only make Labor less risk-averse than they already are.
I don’t know why he does it either, because he is actually capable of speaking like a normal human as evidenced by some of the pre-election podcast type stuff he did. He can come across as relatable and even funny, yet for whatever reason he or his media handlers have decided a better strategy would be for Australia to think he’s a knob.
END OF AN ERA AND THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Well I guess it was as I expected but it was also a lot shorter.
It’s already scary and weird so why anyone thought it would help for the prime minister to address the nation I do not know
That’s a pretty funny line lol
It’s definitely sounding like we’re ending up there sooner rather than later. They are likely very hesitant to announce any kind of restrictions because many Australians are still sensitive over COVID and it creates another wedge issue for the Coalition and One Nation. I have zero faith in either of those political groups, particularly with the Liberals now being led by Angus Taylor, to actually do the right thing by the nation and support the government in its efforts managing the crisis.
He is expected to urge Australians to save fuel for areas and industries that “most need it”.
I suppose you have to try but I’m not really sure this does much. Most people will claim their use case is justified, and even if deep down they know it isn’t they’ll still come up with some whataboutism to defend it. Australians do not have the existing cultural mindset required to stop driving everywhere and for everything overnight.
Are you using a VPN or have extensions or a DNS filter?
Have you had a look at this? Might be too investor-focused for you, but just thought I’d throw it out there.
This is the exact wording I copy/pasted from the law.
A provider of such a platform must take reasonable steps to prevent children who have not reached a minimum age from having accounts.
I’m sure big tech companies will argue that they are taking “reasonable steps”. If you leave your wording vague then it will be exploited or ignored. This was all incredibly predictable.
When will we see some movement on this issue? The debate has been stuck at the same point for years with no indication that the US plans to deliver the submarines and no willingness from our government to back out. Like am I going to be reading the exact same talking points in a decade from now or will something finally change by then?
Since this is a piracy community, you should know that the best websites for anything don’t adhere to these types of laws. I’m always surprised by the number of people who don’t bother to look beyond the mainstream options (wikis exist for a reason) and either cave to whatever is being enforced or desperately look for ways to circumvent it. You don’t have to play that game at all.
Half.
Semaphore? I went a long time ago, it was very cool!
