Don’t join the fucking right wing SDA though, they are to blame for half the shit that’s going on currently. Join RAFFWU.

About time! Although now I’m left wondering how long until the Deck 2 comes arrives and whether I’d be better off waiting.

I’ve copped a few whales tails in my time but usually I just think “geez Shiela, pull yer pants up” and get on with my day. No need for a bloody hospital visit.
- Comment on Question about Australian towns 3 months ago:
monumentaustralia.org.au/search Incredibly detailed info on monuments all over the country. Lots of non-conflict-related ones.

Haha couldn’t resist the NZ joke.
- Comment on Question about Australian towns 3 months ago:
And the majority of small towns have a small memorial that you’d have to go hunting to find. Google searches will of course tend towards the bigger, more obvious ones.
I live in a country town. Our memorial is (literally) 1.2m tall, made of concrete and takes up less than 3m square. It has been there since the 80’s.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of fetishising the military. But the OP suggestion that they’re all massive monuments is patently absurd.
- Comment on Question about Australian towns 3 months ago:
Where the hell are you going with military statues that cost “more than the town” to build?! Outside of the big cities I can’t think of many places with more than a small (less than 1m) statue and a plaque. And I’ve lived in every state and territory except Tasmania and New Zealand.
- Comment on CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem 3 months ago:
You’re thinking of Intel vPro. I imagine some of the Crowdstrike
victimscustomers have this and a bunch of poor level 1 techs are slowly griding their way through every workstation on their networks. But yeah, OP is deluded and/or very inexperienced if they think this could have been mitigated on workstations through some magical “hygiene”. - Comment on Why is it a common insult for someone to say they slept with your mom? 4 months ago:
If this were the case then “I fucked your dad” would be just as common an insult, with all the same connotations.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 4 months ago:
Australia uses kilopascals rather than PSI. Our standard is 500kPa which works out at around 72 PSI.

So along with all those positives you listed, the big negative being it’s a death trap.

They are just being clear and accurate with their comms. No need to over think it.

I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by dorks who don’t realise you’re joking or by dorks who DO realise you’re joking and feel attacked. Either way, sad, silly down voters.

Yes Windows 11 is small enough that this one dude knows all there is to know about it. It is impossible this (former) core developer is wrong, lying or has an axe to grind.

Ahhh so the secret to using ChatGPT successfully is to tell it to give you good output?
Like “make sure the code actually works” and “don’t repeat yourself like a fucking idiot” and “don’t hallucinate false information”!
- Comment on UK starts early trials of World's first pothole preventing robot 8 months ago:
Bets on this actually reducing the cost of maintenance? I’d hazard a guess that it will cost more, fix less, and result in fewer local jobs. But the VC-backed overseas startup CEO will profit, so that’s something I suppose.

Outer suburbs. There, saved you a click.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 8 months ago:
Splitting hairs isn’t going to change anything. TikTok is absolutely 100% a social network. It uses more video and less written word but that’s about it. YouTube hasn’t died (and neither has Facebook for that matter) but it was very different in its earlier incarnations. It has become more social as time has gone on, in an effort to remain relevant. It has largely copied TikTok.
TikTok in turn will become a boring old platform used by Old People (millennials, Gen Z) and kids will (already are) on to something new.

The same was true of Facebook my not-so-socially-savvy friend. Kids will stop using it once they realise grandma is on there because it is no longer cool.

Look at that, it didn’t require a whole-ass article.

You might be shocked to learn that NBNCo was set up and designed to be “profit driven” too then?
- Comment on It’s true, Kelly Wilkinson was cop shopping. She was looking for a Queensland cop who cared | Lucy Clark 8 months ago:
Or possibly we should focus more on helping the victims and then once they’re properly sorted out we can start looking at how to further assist the perpetrators.
If situations like this, and more generally movements like metoo, have taught us anything it’s that men in positions of power can make it difficult or nigh on impossible for women to be heard. Let’s help them first.

I shouldn’t have used your specific circumstance as an example and I apologise for that. I have absolutely no idea what you’ve been through and shouldn’t ever have made assumptions or attempted to use it to try to make my point.
More women would definitely help. Cop culture is massively macho, male dominated, even if there are some women in some positions of power.
Someone who decides to hit their spouse or child is a piece of shit. Someone who hurts any other innocent person intentionally is a piece of shit. Drug dealers are pieces of shit. The list is endless.
If someone with a drug dependence hurts another person while intoxicated then that’s a criminal matter. Part of their sentence would undoubtedly be rehabilitation, as it should.
If someone hurts another person then that’s a criminal matter. Part of their sentence would undoubtedly be rehabilitation.
If someone hurts a spouse or child… etc.
I don’t think singling out one group of criminals for special treatment is the answer.
No one wakes up one day and decides to be an awful human, for sure. It takes time and practise, and people around them ignoring it or even enabling it.

What the reddit is this shit.
Firstly the article doesn’t say that.
Cops are mostly men and yeah they fucken do hate women. The stats back that up. So changing the “system” (ie the way police forces deal with abuse to get more women involved and in positions of power) is absolutely a brilliant idea. Cops also (statistically) hate their kids so it’s a double whammy.
Pieces of shit that beat their partners and children don’t get a pass because no one gave them a sympathetic pat on the hand and a cuppa. Very few people alive today believe it is acceptable to beat their spouse and kids. They do it because they can, and because they get away with it.
If the court appointed a psychologist to your father then the system DID help him. Too late, obviously, but that suggests to me the issue was with the (almost certainly male) cops not stepping in sooner to get the court involved.
I’m sorry you suffered abuse as a child and I hope your life has been safe and full of love since then.

On my iPhone it’s 5 taps, which seems excessive but whatever. It’s impossible to do when I’m driving, and also impossible from the Windows app (yes, really, the feature is not available - community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/…/5027612 )
- Comment on How Australian undercover police ‘fed’ an autistic 13-year-old’s fixation with Islamic State 9 months ago:
Surprised to see the article still using the term Asperger’s. Asperger was a nazi sympathiser and experimented on kids with autism and his name should be relegated to the toilet of history.
