It takes a lot to make Australia look like less of a prison, but holy fuck has post-Brexit Britain managed to do just that.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 6 months ago:
Living in Australia means piracy is essentially legal - individuals can only be taken to court for the cost of one physical copy of the pirated media, so companies don't even bother as long as you aren't distributing. The more things in this area get worse, the more justified I feel in filling up my 10TB HDD.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
Early 30's here. I was at a small gathering my best mate put together about a year ago, and his 19 year old nephew was there. He expressed his interest in anime and we got chatting. While showing me some newer anime-related TikTok stuff (I have no social media myself and haven't really kept up with modern anime), I heard some fucking awesome 'aggressive trap' stuff and asked him who the artist was. It was Lil' Darkie and I was immediately hooked. I went down a rabbit hole searching his best stuff as well as other similar artists, and now have a huge playlist of great music I'd have never discovered on my own.
imo music discovery is a pretty organic process for most people. It's cultural and spreads via word of mouth. Chatting with younger people may be the best way to go, but understand that the youth rightfully don't want us in their spaces lmao

Oh, this is going to age like fucking milk. You belong to the shareholders now, mate. They'll MAKE you change how you do things, and you'll love it.

Aunts. We're just a lot more posh over here in Adelaide.

Depends on the Ford. imo Ford Australia's final two Falcon models were unkillable, and contained an engine everyone's now wanting to get their hands on due to its bulletproof construction and potential for huge, cheap power.
Source; I've owned an FG Falcon from new which now has over 450,000km on it and never once had any issues (also thousands of taxi drivers over 15 years can't be wrong.)

Trolling has never been easier. Back in the day, you'd get found out fairly quickly, but now? Everyone has such strong opinions and is so perpetually-riled up to the point of taking every opinion at face value and arguing back with such passion that it's almost irresistible to fuck with people these days.

Probably the two downvotes it has haha

I'll happily just stick with Kodi. I download all the media I watch to a massive HDD anyway, as I live in Australia, and our internet infrastructure is beyond useless. No accounts, no invasive 'social' features, just my media library and no streaming required.
Enshittification strikes again.
- Comment on Government rushes to patch up laws for stripping terrorists of citizenship 11 months ago:
but what’s the limitations on who gets classified as a terrorist.
Exactly my issue with this. I don't trust the corrupt Australian government to objectively apply this law. This country is sleepsprinting into authoritarianism one small cut at a time. I may be in my very early-30's, but I'm making active plans to get out of here before things get worse. Australia has never felt more suffocating and restrictive.

"These aren't windows, they're just sophisticated high resolution 3D monitors. NASA has had this tech for decades, they've just never let the secret out. You're not seeing the Earth, you're seeing a video. Why can't we go see it with our own eyes outside? Exactly. Seems very convenient we're being asked to wear suits with image projection helmets."
You will never win with people this fucking stupid.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
Audibly encouraging fights among males literally ties into the theory. The hypothesis is that female moaning attracts nearby males, the males want to procreate, but only one male's genetics are going to actually form a child, and it is in the species' best interests for that child to contain the DNA of the most-likely-to-survive and procreate male. It doesn't matter whether the guys all form an orderly queue to some daily gangbang (which was absolutely NOT the case), or start fighting amongst themselves to be the only one with a chance (which includes the possibility that another had ejaculated inside her prior to this) - the purpose of her vocalizing was to encourage males in the area to compete, especially if she's already in the middle of the act. There's enough merit here to suggest further study into the area, especially given that neither of our theories are proven.
You seem to be fixated on an argument I've not made, and I may not have worded it clearly enough. I'm not suggesting that primitive human females started moaning in an attempt to initiate a gangbang because cave-dwelling women were insatiable whores or wherever. I'm suggesting that those vocalizations were a method to incite breeding competition between males in the area, and that this lead to natural selection.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
Except there is clearly a potential link that deserves further study to come to a conclusion? There's more credibility backing this being a possible origin than there is to the argument "stupid horny male scientists like thinking about caveman gangbangs. Social construct, guys."
I'd like to hear an actual counter theory that isn't hiding behind identity politics or an emotional response. I've already stated that this hypothesis isn't concrete fact, but you're being willfully ignorant if you don't believe there's any merit to it.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
OP asked a question, I (and a few others) posted a possible answer. The pushback against this theory in particular seems to stem not from a place of reason, but from a place of emotion. I'd love to see genuine refutation to this theory, because it certainly isn't concrete fact, but when the only thing I see is "lol stupid horny men and their fantasies" and "where are the WOMEN on this scientific study?" you'll have to excuse me if I don't think they're worth entertaining as good faith rebuttals.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
Get a load of all the people calling bullshit on my comment lmao. I'm amazed at all these 15 year olds refusing to believe the female sexual experience is anything other than some social construct that mEn forced upon the western world.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
I didn't just make this up, it's a legitimate hypothesis. Someone else posted a wiki link to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_copulatory_vocalizations)
Not everything is some patriarchal social conditioning conspiracy, dude.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
I don't know how I know the answer to this, and I'll try to keep it brief, but here goes:
This goes wayyyyyyy back into our past as human beings. Women largely vocalize more than men during sex as a way to signal to other males in the area that sex is happening and that they should join in. It's encouragement for the male, but it goes deeper (heh) than that - the human penis is quite large as far as body to dick ratio for animals goes, and there are two reasons for that; the head is designed to 'scoop' competing males' semen out with each thrust in preparation for replacing it with the dick-haver's own, while the longer shaft allows deeper penetration in order to scoop as much as possible.
So basically, when a woman moans loudly, it's signifying she's ready to go, and that the strongest male in a group will be the one to eventually impregnate her. It's literally a survival of the fittest mechanism.
Now obviously that isn't the reason for it these days, as we're all aware that our intelligence as a species makes sex a vastly more complex thing than it is for other animals at this point in our evolutionary path, but that's what researchers believe is the origin of sexy female noises.

Authoritarian bullshit like this can fuck off. This is the exact thinking that has lead to total government overreach, particularly the EU's chat control legislation and an overall push to destroy online encryption and the right to digital privacy. The world does not need this kind of destructive, oppressive thinking. We're too controlled as citizens as it is, and something has to give.
