Yeah, it’s just so sad that it’s believable some people genuinely hold that view

No, women having choice over whether they have sex is the problem. They are naturally less sex-reliant than males and it is only through parties restricting those choices that you see a spike after they leave office. /s

It’s performative, the biggest ‘carbon capture’ facility made so far, didn’t even come close to offsetting its own carbon footprint.
- Comment on The actual nonsense being posted r/conservative Reddit 4 weeks ago:
Even they picture of Trump in the screenshot looks shopped. They even gaslight themselves
- Comment on Australian police beat an opposition politician so badly that she might lose an eye -- simply for being at an anti-genocide protest. 2 months ago:
Morally it doesn’t make a difference, but it does make a difference fascism wise (slightly)
- Comment on U16 Social Media Ban - Senate 1hr debate before the vote, some time tonight on the livestream 8 months ago:
But that’s the problem, this bill does absolutely nothing to rectify that. They could try and hold the companies to account (good luck with Elon on Trumps team), or even better, they could snap back to reality and actually look at educating kids how to navigate and use these online spaces.
Do you think that kids at 16, suddenly getting access with no prior experience or knowledge of how the systems work will be better?
- We have existing regulation about media and who can watch it, we shortly update this and apply it as well as we can to be technologies.
- Children should be taught how to verify information and utilise online spaces healthily, like it or not, these spaces will be around in some form.
- Parents should be taught how to work with their children and should be held accountable, same as if i let my 13 yr old go to an R rated movie.
There are much worse places than instagram and tiktok, that won’t be following any government recommendations. This bill does nothing but enhance the surveillance state, as everyone will be required to verify their identity, what the government is really doing is fighting online anonymity, but please just think of those poor little kids.
I agree with all your criticism of social media, I hate it (this is the only platform I am on) but if they pass this bill, social media will still be round, fucking up the world, just the same.
- Comment on NBN Co to accelerate higher speed tiers and launch multi-gigabit speeds in September 2025 9 months ago:
They already lowered the wholesale prices earlier in the year to try and promote users to higher tiers and the helcos were all “passing these savings on to the end user could be bad, so we’ll have to think about it” and then everyone went back to being price gouged
- Comment on Companies are finding new ways to monetize personal data, too often without proper notice or consent. ICYMI, three current examples that you may want to act on to opt out: PayPal, LinkedIn and 23andMe 10 months ago:
The whole board (except CEO) resigned last month because they couldn’t agree in a buyout option

Especially do it for 23andMe because they’re going out of business and will just be doing it to increase the sale price
