Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

Pipepipe is still working, as long as you are not logged in, and obviously aren't trying to watch age verification gated content.

For how long though who knows.

"The economy" = rich people's yachts.

Grin and bear it?

No we let our politicians slowly put in place the conditions for fascism.

Metadata retention

Assistance and access bill

Identify and disrupt bill

Age verification bullshit

Anti protest laws.

Pretty soon you won't be able to disagree with libor / laborel here either.

I bet that the fascist tech laws will be used to silence and punish government critics.

I'd really hoped we for one to be put in the July school holidays.

Oh well can't complain about a extra one in November. The second half of the year up to Christmas was always lacking with just the one.

Thanks everyone for voting for the e-karen.

If anything when people make immigration in to a race issue it plays in to the hands of the business lobby / rent seekers / 1%. They are the ones who profit from mass immigration at the expense of the majority of working class people.

Making it a race issue allows the politicians to focus their media talking points on claiming "I'm not a racist" instead of what the reasonable opponents want to discuss. So we never get a sensible debate about what a sustainable population is, or what a sustainable amount of immigration is, or what effect mass immigration has had on housing demand.

I call them JUHBs. Jacked up hatchbacks.

All the interior space of a hatch back, but with worse handling and efficiency due to being pointlessly higher off the ground.

I'm happy with leaptel for gaming.

Ping to Sydney and Singapore is my main priority.

I left Aussie a year or so back due to random spikes in ping to NSW based servers.

Most offices I have seen have really upped their coffee game since the pandemic. Presumably to encourage everyone back in.

Gone are the days of freeze dried instant. Forget those horrid nestle pod machines.

Full automatic espresso machines are the standard now. Being drugged for productivity.

It wears off though. During 2020, I noticed a few acquaintances I knew from raving back in the day fell right down the rightwing misinformation hole.

That's a given. But are any of her children ready for that ? I guess once the control of the billions is in their hands they will do their best to follow in her steps.

As someone who is for setting sensible limits on immigration for environmental and economic reasons I also wish they would fuck off.

All their racist nonsense ends up doing is drowning out any chance of sensible discussion about what sustainable levels of population growth from immigration look like.

These protestors are literally doing the bidding of the 1% / business lobby / rent seekers for free. Of course anyone that racist is too stupid to even realise that's what they are doing.

I wonder what her current succession plan is.

It works even better when truncated.

The productivity commission has broadly agreed to increase the tax

I'm sure someone will be along to argue that correlation is not causation on this, but I'll be surprised if it's not mostly due to the average vehicle's front height now being above the average persons chest.

The other day on my bike ride in to the Perth CBD I encountered 3 separate pairs of motorcycle police with radar guns on the PSP (PSP= principal shared path, a completely separated bike / pedestrian path with no car traffic for those abroad). Presumably they were on the lookout for people on e-scooters exceeding 25km/h, which if caught get fine and their scooter confiscated permanently with no recourse.

Meanwhile in the middle of the CBD where there are lots of pedestrians we have vehicles running red lights, failing to give way to pedestrians when turning at intersections, ballbags in a jacked up 4WDs complete with 5 post bullbars and all of the emissions controls removed running around with complete impunity.

Yep see plenty of people doing that.

I also find it too sweaty but sometimes you trade that off vs listening to what ever music the gym is playing.

How is it immoral?

I loathe the fact that to go to my local shops I have to drive my fucking car because there is a high chance that some fuckwit will steal my bike or scooter if I lock it at the entrance.

Fuck people who steal bikes and scooters. All they are doing is grabbing on to people barely one rung up the societal ladder than they are and pulling them down.

Go steal from a large corporation instead if you want sympathy.

Oh fuck off Kate.

Any time the "blue ribbon" teals talk about what is good for the economy we must remember that to them "the economy" = rich arseholes yachts. Their constituents are wealthy and economically conservative, and in no way want things to become fair.

So raising the GST will be worse for everyone who works for a living and have negligible effect on those who have accumulated wealth.
