- Comment on What's causing the Greek yoghurt shortage in Australian supermarkets? 6 days ago:
Ffs and I just assumed that here in WA was due to the rail line wash out.
Unflavoured Greek yogurt has been my breakfast staple for like 20 years.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 1 week ago:
Yep this is classic rage bait media.
- Comment on Victorian government faces backlash from small businesses over right to work-from-home laws 1 week ago:
No way is it reasonable to WFH by yourself with a child under the age of 5. You would either be not providing enough attention to the child or work.
- Comment on Why some Australians are spending $35,000 a year on food delivery apps 2 weeks ago:
Wild to me.
I’ll stick to my poached chicken and salad.
- Comment on Blaring sirens on smartphones to warn Australians of major disasters under emergency alerts overhaul 2 weeks ago:
If my phone is in do not disturb then that should be my choice.
Anyway I’ll calm my tits.
Graphene OS will likely still let me turn off this bullshit.
- Comment on Blaring sirens on smartphones to warn Australians of major disasters under emergency alerts overhaul 2 weeks ago:
Users will not to be opt out.
Who’s fucking phone is it exactly? Did the government buy it for me? No?
Then get fucked. On principal alone.
- Comment on Are you on track to retire comfortably? Australia's new super benchmark released 2 weeks ago:
Is your trade very physical? I did 3 years of residential construction when I was 18-21. There was no way I could have maintained that lifestyle long term. Was enough to inspire me to go study so I could get a desk job. I am 41 now and happy with my choice.
- Comment on Are you on track to retire comfortably? Australia's new super benchmark released 2 weeks ago:
10 years ahead of that guide as if that means anything.
I doubt millennials are going to get to retire.
- Comment on Three-quarters of Australia’s new cars use more fuel than advertised lab rating, testing shows 2 weeks ago:
It was a Prius being driven as fast as it could go for 10 laps around the Top gear test track. Being followed at the same speed by an E9x M3.
Entertaining yes. Scientific… Hrm
- Comment on Carmakers face possible heavy fines in Australia for failing to meet climate targets 3 weeks ago:
No mention of how diesel utes / 4wds / SUVs are still free to ass fuck the air we breathe with impunity under this genius legislation.
Why is the guardian of all places forgetting the swindle albo pulled on this.
- Comment on Health star rating to become mandatory on all packaged food in Australia 3 weeks ago:
I think for most stuff in supermarkets it would fit just fine. They would just have to compromise on space dedicated to branding, and that is part of the point.
Much like cigarettes, sugar laden, processed, food like products deserve to be in plain packaging too.
- Comment on Health star rating to become mandatory on all packaged food in Australia 3 weeks ago:
Fuck star rating systems. Every single one have in this country has been corrupted by letting industry contribute to the rules.
I would rather see a minimum font size for the ingredients list and nutritional info panels. The ingredients list can also list percentages and country of origin for each too. Also no other text font on the packaging may be larger than the ingredients list.
- Comment on Genetically modified purple tomatoes get green light to be sold in Australia 4 weeks ago:
Supermarkets have already perfected the art of selling perfect looking tomatoes with absolutely zero taste.
Home grown or nothing.
- Comment on My petty gripe: a large flat white is an oxymoron – a bastardisation of the drink Australia gave the world 1 month ago:
I’m surprised there isn’t a widely adopted abbreviation yet.
LMTU?
- Comment on My petty gripe: a large flat white is an oxymoron – a bastardisation of the drink Australia gave the world 1 month ago:
No comment
- Comment on Meta says it shut down nearly 550K accounts in Australia to comply with its under-16 social media ban, including 330,639 Instagram and 173,497 Facebook accounts 1 month ago:
And they deleted the data right?
Right?
Narrator: they did not.
- Comment on Six charged after police allegedly find man and teen travelling with loaded guns in Sydney taxi 2 months ago:
I have an inkling that there will be rumblings in the future from within govt here about outlawing things like Graphene OS and signal.
- Comment on Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price. What can be done? 2 months ago:
You would hope they have more empathy than the ones who remove the R from their sticker.
- Comment on Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price. What can be done? 2 months ago:
Currently I think it’s the other way around. Before you are allowed to own one you sign a contract saying you will at every opportunity drive millimetres from the bumper of the car in front.
- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Was Pushed By Ad Agency Focused On Gambling Ads It Didn’t Want Banned 2 months ago:
It just goes to show how out of touch politicians are.
As a parent of two primary schoolers. (Yeah yeah cliché qualifier) Things I’m more concerned about than social media:
- Them never being able to buy a fucking house or afford any kind of living standard because apparently property market must go brrr. Everything they do is about propping up established home owners ensuring profits for the banks.
- Corruption and lobbying
- Doing fuck all about climate change and environmental destruction. Stop.fucking.clearing.vegetation.
- Alcohol and gambling adds
- Air quality / emissions from transport. Fuck Albo’s watered down vehicle emissions rules that are going to encourage more diesel SUV use. Diesel is next in line after pdfiles and religion for things I don’t want near kids.
- Comment on Honest Government Ad | Social Media Ban 2 months ago:
Mostly because I fear the kids might get unfavourable treatment.
Our school principal reminds me of south park’s PC principal.
- Comment on Honest Government Ad | Social Media Ban 2 months ago:
For my youngest I use pipepipe on an android tablet.
No ads.
No feed / recommendations.
Just the channels I subscribe to.
The final straw with stock android apps was years ago with my eldest when it showed an add for women’s g strings in the middle of a fucking educational video about cats.
- Comment on Honest Government Ad | Social Media Ban 2 months ago:
Resisting the urge to send this video as a reply to the boot licking email my kids school sent to the parents regarding this bullshit.
- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 3 months ago:
Talk to molly about your mangina !
- Comment on National study finds where you live influences your body weight | News at Curtin 3 months ago:
It’ll be down to the golden triangle being north of the river. And maybe midland and armadale being south.
- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 3 months ago:
It’s funny how the mainstream media has focused only on listing the big social media giants as being the targets.
I’ve also had a message from another not so mainstream hookup app that the proof of age is coming and to prepared to comply. How remains to be seen.
I must say I really like the idea of ordering a drink at a bar with the user name.
- Comment on Australia | Teenagers sue over social media ban for ‘violating their right to communicate’ 3 months ago:
Are you aware of Labor’s 2009 plan to censor the entire Australian internet? It didn’t succeed back then thankfully.
There is no way that they will stop at just the big social media platforms.
This is about control and further removal of being anonymous.
It’s not even a liberal vs labor thing. They both have a history of bipartisan support for this type of bullshit. See: metadata retention, assistance and access, identify and disrupt laws.
- Comment on These charts show the effect of migration on Australia's housing story 3 months ago:
If anyone thinks that conservatives are going to lower migration in the slightest, let alone slash it then you might be interested in a bridge for sale.
Conservatives answer to the business council and real estate lobbyists. Both of which love high immigration. Only need to see the liberal party’s record on immigration since John Howard.
Conservatives also love our housing market just the way it is.
