- Comment on It’s 978 days since Peta Murphy called for a ban on betting ads. What happened to Labor’s pledge to respect parliament? | Josh Butler 1 week ago:
Isnt that what this whole ban kids from social media was all about. Pushed by the gambling industry so they can keep pushing ads?
- Comment on Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps? 2 weeks ago:
But don’t be drinking distilled water or it will pull all the nutrients out of your body. Like iron etc.
- Comment on Dress smartly even when sleeping 2 weeks ago:
My shower clothes would dry. Its not like they’d be wet for eternity.
- Comment on As soon as people could read, ages ago when they had fuck all to do they sat down and wrote (books, letters) for fun. Now, when people have fuck all to do they write internets for fun. NO CHANGE! 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. However if you were weaving silk, you were making bank.

Before the mechanical loom. The whole world was basically creating thread and weaving full time. It would take just as long to hand make a sail for a viking ship as it would to make the whole rest of the ship.
- Comment on Forget your astral sign, which Muppet do you want to be? 5 weeks ago:
Oscar. Because he owns his own house.
- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 1 month ago:
Ive got the brick. Not the brick hammer. And it’s really quite fun to have. I’d whip it out on public transport or a plane faster than my steamdeck just because it’s less bulky. I mostly play pico-8 games on it.
- Comment on Any suggestions for a good intro into first nations history in Australia? 1 month ago:
‘Rabbit-proof fence’ is a great movie. And this doco on YouTube is wild www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lJUCMKYUUw

- Comment on You can break apart and share this 10K power bank like a KitKat bar 2 months ago:
Would be cool to have 2 that can bundle together for getting them on an airplane. So carrying 1 each. But I don’t like cumbersome on airplanes.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 2 months ago:
Ah my bad, I mean ‘get it’ as in ‘understand it’ not as ‘recieve it’.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 2 months ago:
It was a message, makes sense to speak the language of the people you are talking to. If God just 4d time tesseracted instead people wouldn’t get it.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 2 months ago:
He didn’t HAVE to do anything to be fair. Biblically it was a gift of love (as messed up as that is).And yeah perhaps there was another way, but that’s the way he chose. If he slaughtered a pig, you’d probably be like why didn’t he offer his own son? Doesn’t really have anything to do with omnipotence. Sacrifice was common in those days with goats etc. So it matches the culture of the day. Also kind of mirrors and reflects on the Abraham story too.
Also biblically God, Jesus and the holy spirit are technically one. Not really sure how that changes anything but is interesting to think about.
Here’s the biblical text if youre interested John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
I’m just some guy and dont have all the answers or am looking to battle about it. But I’m happy to chat if we keep it chill. Why is God’s omnipotence important to you?
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 2 months ago:
Ads are actually pretty incredible. If no one knows your brand, all it takes is money to tell em. It’s like a short cut compared to having a good product and word of mouth.
Its essentially like a cold call, but you know the audience is at least generally interested in your topic because of targeting. All that data that is being taken and sold from you, is being sold to avertizers.
Pay Google for getting on search on Google and youtube.
Pay meta to get ads on Insta and Facebook.
If you spend $500 to sell a $3000 product, it’s a no brainer. Ita basically printing money when it works. So yeah, companies are paying when the results match. But also when they are testing the waters to see if its worth it to them.

- Comment on Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking 3 months ago:
That pip on the top of a baseball cap is dangerous under a helmet. Its essentially saying, ‘hey coordinate all the shock right here’ like a little pin hammer. Get yourself a cycling cap for under the helmet. Way more comphy too.
But yeah id go with the hook it to your belt loop. Maybe with a carabiner so you dont stress the snapback

If were all bots, what are the humans doing? Living in a utopia and only interfacing in person?
- Comment on Hold up! 5 months ago:
Maybe just ‘i am efficient’. Splitting it into 3 words one of which is fish ads confusion and additional processing to the receiving brain which is not efficient.

- Comment on Hackers Threaten to Submit Artists' Data to AI Models If Art Site Doesn't Pay Up 6 months ago:
if the ai models are happy using stolen data, whos to say they havent already scraped the site themselves.
if your data is on the net, its already being swiped i think.
i wouldnt pay it if i were them. as if they arent gonna sell the data anyway for a lil extra cash, morals mean nothing to thieves.

you guys are getting paid?
- Comment on Australia’s government trial of age‑assurance tech to keep under‑16s off social media says social media age checks can be done, despite errors and privacy risks 6 months ago:
so much fluff in their findings. makes me think, they didnt research shit. this is gonna be terribly implemented.
their attempt wont be the end of the free web. but people will leave because they dont want their data breached by yet another bad actor. its just making the web more dangerous instead of safer.
no one has the tech and security to handle this. its waaaay too early. the breaches are going to substantial and continuous.
good luck Australia. stay safe.
