- Comment on The rhetoric ramping up over ISIS brides has nothing to do with the women and children themselves 5 hours ago:
this, let then back, if they’ve committed a crime pit them on trial.
one was married at 14 ffs.
I’m all for keeping undesirables out, so next time Pauline, or Barnaby or Andrew Hastie or Angus Taylor leaves, don’t let them back in.

- Comment on Children in camp for IS-linked families speak about attempt to get to Australia 2 days ago:
indeed, fuck voters. One “aussie” wife was married at 14, if they were on Epstein Island they’d have been trafficked, in Syria, mastermind terrorists.
They’re Australian, bring them home, if they are guilty of a crime, charge them, if not apologise for taking lmao fucking long.
- Comment on Blaring sirens on smartphones to warn Australians of major disasters under emergency alerts overhaul 2 days ago:
This isn’t at the phone level though, presumably the Telco level , and broadcast to all phones connected to particular towers, may be that’s why there is no ability to opt out per se?
- Comment on Finally fixing capital gains tax is good – but linking it to another tax cut for Australia’s rich is bollocks | Greg Jericho 3 days ago:
Fixing is a big claim, tweaking at the edges might be more accurate…but the entire tax system is not fit for service, so there is tat.

ahh Australia, big on the talking then just build more roads and coal mines.

- Comment on Queensland Tesla registrations in free-fall, as Musk embraces far-right 4 days ago:
Maybe but I’ve not heard of a single person say they won’t buy a Tesla because of Musk’s antics. There may be a few but I’m going with minuscule, not a cliff dive.
Lot of nazi adjacent folks here in Australia, look at the rise and rise of ONP for example.

There was an article in the AFR with GHG opining there is a huge unmet demand for data centres.

Almost three-quarters of Goodman Group’s $14.4 billion workbook is now devoted to building data centres, as the ASX-listed property giant swings harder into the AI-driven demand for digital infrastructure.

- Comment on We thought Gen Z had started going to church in droves. But the truth is more complicated 6 days ago:
people are forced to live further away from their families and support networks due to the increased cost of living, and are seeking the only other sources of support and community available to them
Which makes no sense, as it costs money, time, mental energy to live away from your community. Hikikomori costs little

- Comment on Tony Burke says Australia has few options to block return of 34 women and children from Syrian camp 6 days ago:
Kind of disconcerting to me they block them.
These are Australian citizens ? If they aren’t there no issues, if they are, let them in. If they have committed a crime put them on trail. Not sure what the issue is.
That someone can arbitrarily decide whether or not an Australian citizen can enter the country is a bit shit.
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 2 weeks ago:
I honestly didn’t know what they were thinking with that commercial. Why would you proudly advertise that you’ve built a massive surveillance network
Presumably because most end users are in deep with the “if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about” crowd … and besides it can find a lost dog /s.
They brought these sorts of intrusive cameras in the first place so privacy was not top of mind, or even in 2nd or 3rd place.
- Comment on Bunnings wins fight to use AI facial recognition tech to combat store crime, opening door for other retailers 2 weeks ago:
Good, as long as they’re doing it as they have said, comparing a facial scan to a know cunt and discardibg it if it doesn’t match, less cunts the better
Tolerating the intolerant is intolerable.

- Comment on Tanning apps that offer ‘safe’ sun routines undermining efforts to tackle skin cancer 3 weeks ago:
In Australia, to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D you just need to be outside for a few minutes a day.
Tasmania enters the chat. As repeated on The Health Report some podcats ago, you can lie naked outdoors for hours in winter and not get anough sun exposure to impact D levels.
Australia is a big place

- Comment on Political parties receive more than $138m in ‘dark money’ before new donation rules begin 3 weeks ago:
Well, the previous Geeens housing spokesperson, Max , used to donate 1/2 his wage to a homeless chairty and rented. This was too egregious for Brisbanites, so they voted him oit at the last month election.
- Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’ 3 weeks ago:
That’s how the government eliminates the basic rights. Step by step. Starting with small things. Almost always with “defend children” slogans
I always wondered why they didn’t let kids have sex, smoke cigarettes, drive cars, drink alcohol forced them to go to school etc. /s
Its not like there isnt endless amounts of research showing social medias toxicity. Better to ban it outright but here we are.
