  • There's an issue with lemmy.ml where ancient posts just kinda show up sometimes. Not the first time this has happened

  • As an Isabella romancer, I approve this message

  • Temp tomorrow tops at 18. It's July. This is not natural.

    We have fucked our planet beyond repair. I'm sorry, but conservatism is not only wrong, it's dangerous now, because soon climate change is going to kill tens, if not hundreds of millions of people.

  • Didn't even know Lemmy was two years old tbh, thought it was no more than eighteen months old

  • Really enjoying it so far - about an hour of tutorial, then straight into it. Cleared the first area, and now I have theories about the leafling (not gonna elaborate because I dunno how to spoiler tag on Lemmy) and a deep love of everything Oatchi represents

  • FWIW, I'm about five hours in now. It seems to continue on from a different Pikmin 1 ending than the other two games, and as such there isn't any required games for context. Tbh I'm significantly more confused by the plot because I've played the others.

  • I swear I've seen this exact post before. Might be because the answer is a pretty clear yes; if combined with killing AirBnBs. If only this changes, then the problem won't actually be solved.

  • In all honesty, having read those same reports in the past (does it make me a weirdo that I enjoy reading this kind of thing?) I note that many of the individuals involved in this corruption were installed by LNP governments (tempted to say "of future past," because that just sounds fun). I smell false flag on their part, as they have been known to install cronies into organisations they're opposed to so they can tear it down and claim they're 'fixing' them

  • So sick of the media calling decisions like this "humiliating". It's not humiliating, it's damn good sense and a great result for everyone.

    We need a damn royal commission, the media is beyond cooked

  • Very, very sick of the no campaign brigading every discussion with terrible arguments in bad faith.

    I have yet to encounter a legal expert, or for that matter, an Indigenous Australian who is accepted by their community, who is opposed. Similarly, the law is my degree. I've spent five years of my life studying it, and although I'm not a graduate yet (two units to go), I'd think I'd know more about this shit than Joe from bumfuck nowhere on Facebook.

    There is no case for a no vote. None whatsoever. The change would not grant special rights to Indigenous Australians. It has been repeatedly explained by both lawyers and politicians. You can read the change yourself. It has to be a constitutional change, because that protects it from being outright removed by successive governments, which is the very thing that happened to the previous body that performed this role. By definition, it is not racist, as racism refers to negative treatment on the basis of race or ethnic background, and not differing treatment. This is one of three steps proposed by Indigenous Australians towards reconciliation, and isn't the endpoint. If it fails, it will be the endpoint.

    When the colonisers arrived, Indigenous Australians outnumbered colonisers. Now, they make up just 2.5% of the population. We are driving them to extinction. If this fails, by the time we get around to trying again, it is likely the genocide will have all but been completed.

    Ethically and morally, a yes vote is the only choice. Legally, it is the best choice for change.

  • That explains that, thanks mate!

  • Is there an event in the city today? The 250 is hilariously packed

  • Aussie here. A classic bit of slang is "I'm not here to fuck spiders".

    I also enjoy the word "nonosecond", which is the moment immediately after you realise you've fucked up.

  • Every damn time, they surround me like I'm gonna do a runner. For God's sake, I'm 70kg soaking wet, I'm neither a flight risk nor a violence one. Meanwhile the methhead up the back of a bus never gets a second look, even though he's threatened four people today.

  • Finally on a bus, but fuck me that was a long (and cold) wait.

    It really is shite, you'd think it'd be an easy fix too; each inspector costs 100k a year, drop them and the ticketing system and it's quite likely it'd break even (also, y'know, it's a public service. I already pay for it out of my taxes, why am I getting double-charged?)

  • Nope, but here's a $300 fine, as well as treatment as if you're a criminal, for not being able to afford a $10 daily fare for our fucked PT system

  • No mood killer like nighttime bus mood killer. If inspectors are gonna keep checking buses, and if prices are this high, then they better be on damn time. A bus being late by three minutes can delay my getting home by forty minutes.

    That's not worth ten bucks a day.

    EDIT: Yup, won't be home until 11. Bus is that late. Fuck PTV.

  • Kennet can get fucked. He fucked this State over, and his ideas are awful.

  • Uni marks came in. Somehow an A slipped onto my "barely passing" academic transcript. Also I got a high pass in the subject I thought I was going to fail, and a C in the third one.

    I'm shocked, I might actually graduate this year

  • Fantastic mate, I really appreciate it! Definitely got a better sense of how you're going about it now!
