- Comment on Victoria to ban state school logos on shorts, pants, skirts and socks from next year 6 days ago:
Shop keepers, the old tram conductors, older dropout kids. All would treat you different if you were in a school uniform.
This may be depending on area but in Melbourne CBD, inner suburbs and bayside was like that whenever I was in uniform.

- Comment on What host names do you use? 4 weeks ago:
First non negative integer so easy for computer to display.
I only really use zero in networking names to correspond with an IPv4 address that ends with dot zero.
I think it’s just what you’re used to. Like counting bottom to top in teleco versus counting top to bottom in IT.

- Comment on Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t watched nor read anything else about this so I don’t have a full understanding of the meeting. Having said that, I don’t what anyone would expect a world leader to do. He either fights off an invasion without help or sells his nation off. This is a lose lose situation. The USA is losing its image of a country that supports cooperation to an economic invader picking on someone while their down.
- Comment on Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’ 5 weeks ago:
He’s not entirely wrong but it’s not specific to the USA and it was more about individual European nations not getting screwed by larger nations. Using Trump logic, the union of states that makes up the United States of America is there just to screw over everyone else.

- Comment on No one feels safe in Zionist Australia 1 month ago:
I’ve heard people at costco call other people Jews, Nazis, cunts, tightasses, assholes, pricks. I feel there should be more security in that place.
- Comment on No one feels safe in Zionist Australia 1 month ago:
I think social media is blowing this out of proportion and making it sound bigger than it is.
I work in northern Melbourne which has a huge middle eastern community (and big emphasis on community), that for the most part just lives their lives without bringing middle eastern trouble here.
The pro gaza protests last year on occasion saw people go a bit far but no different to union rallies. I think people are nastier at costco or boxing day sales.

I go for the $1.99 hot dog when I’m working nearby. For nappies their standard price is normally cheaper but big w has sales for buggies that are better so i just load up.

- Comment on Australia (Act) Day (annual repost) 2 months ago:
I like wattle day as a national holiday. I also like 9 July as Australian day, when the Queen said we could be our own nation instead of a collection of British controlled colonies. The most Australian thing to do is have more than one day off work to respect our nation by getting sunburnt and picking flowers. Real Aussies just want another day off.

Like trt and baku, I’m happy with how az ticks along. Lodion does a stellar job and he updates us with his actions. Let’s see how the social media ban pans out as Baku said. The social media ban could make the site untenable as a volunteer outfit and require some deep pockets or large amounts of effort from more than just nath and lodion.

A month after they got their pay deal through. Seems rough after they were threatening to strike only a couple of months ago. They police commissioner is probably trying to score some brownie points with the Minns government.
