• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Coalition’s campaign has now become synonymous with fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The Coalition’s campaign has been reduced to moaning ‘if you just remembered you hate Labor, then this would all be fine’

  And, unfortunately, it works! Some people couldn’t care if the Liberal party campaigned on becoming a tributary to the USA because they won’t even consider whatever fresh horrors the ALP and Greens and planning (as brought to you by the Murdoch Media™). Even when LNP was in power and doing whatever they felt like, it was still Labour and the Greens fault when anything went wrong.

  Yep, you got it.

  Imo this is the best way to address renewable storage. This plus energy retailers following a model like Amber Electric that could legitimately lead to a ‘virtual energy storage’ situation where every property can produce, store and supply energy.

  Considering how a similar move is playing out in the US I hope voters here find this idea very unappealing.

  That got me too. Like, what?! Is corpo social media so sensitive that people can’t mention a scientific name for something now? Soon when joining Facebook it’ll give users a handy infographic of allowed words.

  It’s weird, Australian schools didn’t teach them either… does the rest of the world exist, perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Green energy is somehow both way too expensive and dangerously cheap.

  That can literally be said by the same individuals in adjacent sentences depending on the narrative they’re spinning at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 'prenup' talk nearly cost Nick his relationship - but more people are wanting one⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently trying to get a divorce and settlement from my ex. She had an extramarital relationship and left me for that person. Fast forward 12 months and I receive a letter from her lawyer with a “generous offer” where I pay my ex $280,000 on top of $60,000 that she already received when we separated. Now, to be clear, that is everything I own. I would have to sell my house, my vehicles and part with almost all of my savings with exception of my superannuation and give her all of that money. Not a bad payout since she barely worked throughout those years and contributed little to the relationship.

  So I built a rebuttal, complete with documentation, and lawyered up. Since then my ex has stopped participating in the conversation which only leaves me the option of taking it to court, which could cost upwards of $70,000. So I might still lose a lot but not as much.

  If you had asked me at the start of our relationship, 10 years ago, whether something like this would happen I’d say there’s no way. The truth is you never know how someone might change over the years and whether they’ll still be the same person you fell in love with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woolworths says it will 'do more' to celebrate Australia Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From memory they reduced the amount of Australia Day paraphernalia because of poor sales, supply and demand. The right started having fits because Woolies was “going woke” even though it’s capitalism doing what it does and the bigots were too busy buying their car window Australian flags off eBay.

  So hypocrites getting mad at an admittedly shitty grocery store because it looks like it was developing a sense of guilt when in reality the same mad mob wasn’t buying enough to justify stocking the Made in China Aussie day disposable shit anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …legislation that would force women seeking an abortion after 27 weeks and six days – an extremely rare occurrence – to be induced, to deliver the child alive.

  Emphasis mine.

  That’s 10 weeks early. I’m far from an expert but that’s extremely premature, right? Like, that baby is going to be in a very precarious place for a significant amount of time, yeah?

  Again, I’m far from an expert but that seems horrible for literally everyone involved, especially the child! Possibly leading to lifelong health and developmental issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New car buyers driven to white or grey, with bright colours rarer than ever, data shows⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One reason why I was aiming for a white car for my most recent purchase didn’t even get a mention; heat.

  My family has always primarily owned coloured cars, dark blue and maroon, but I went from owning a black car to a white one and the cabin temp difference on a 30+°C day was staggering with the white car being much more tolerable.
