  A symptom of believing they are better than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is prostitution, but so what? What is inappropriate about two adults undertaking an agreed transaction for sexual needs that would otherwise go unfulfilled? A disabled person already has so many limitations in life, any opportunity to expand those limits should be supported in my view. As a taxpayer, I support my money being used for these services for disabled community members.

  I agree also

  You think it’s really deleted in the back end? Adorable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000".⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same could be said of someone who earns a low income relative to a billionaire (e.g. $80-120k) depending on the country they reside in. Money doesn’t buy happiness folks, life experiences do 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you want to be better? What is the problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony is the use of technology to ask the question. Your level of tech use and engagement is a personal choice. You can minimise or stop anytime. Most choose to minimise, I’d suspect because some innovations are quite useful.

  Also, in an existence where the only constant is change, where every moment and conscious perspective is uniquely different and where novel complexity only increases, it would be wise to cultivate patience and a neutral perspective on change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are billions of people on earth who don’t have access to a computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With Google providing 80% of Mozilla’s finding, I think we can all see whats going to happen next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s amazing how much impact the privatisation of land development has, there are missed opportunities across the environmental and sustainablity fronts.

  Maybe ceramics were considered more sustainable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chad scraper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Scraping’ is the process of anonymously and programmatically collecting data from a webpage(s), often without the website’s permission and only limited to the content made publicly available. This is I contrast to using an API provided by the database owner which is limited by tokens, access volume, available end points etc.

  You would go mad otherwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t AI generated better than content sourced from real life? It could actually drive a reduction in child sexual abuse instances due to offenders leveraging alternative sources.
