  • I'd imagine the jackpot would be waking up in the Dark Age of Technology.

    Most soul crushing would have to be waking up as part of the Interex as they discover the Imperium.

  • Copyright, PBS, Australian film and television, lets take the opportunity to fix some of these long standing problems.

  • I'd say you'd still find plenty, theres a large crossover with your average Rogan listener. But hopefully the blinders have come off more of them.

    insulting people involved in rescue

    Thats when he lost me completely. Up until that point, i thought he was a savvy investor woth an incredibly perceptive idea of the future. But then his true colours came out in that episode, he also got my nationalism up. Those guys were fucken Aussies doing good work to save those kids!

    Its been a long time though, i think they were, lol!

  • My bad. Don't let my dog read my comment, i'll get a but on the backside.

  • What does he think this is? A lucky dip election? State the plan!

  • I won't say i support the hate against Tesla owners per sĂŠ. But i'll try to establish the reasons for wider community anger, and draw the line to the cars.

    Musk has had a little army of Muskovites worshipping him as a genius-can-do-no-wrong type for years. Their blind esteem has critically helped propel him to his position, doing the damage he's doing.

    I've known one, so i'm speaking from experience when i say it was genuinely hard for them to accept Musk could even be incorrect. They're very cultish, and should endure approbrium, or at least be ignored a little.

    This is of course where the reaction to Musk gets dumb. Tesla owners are probably being targetted, i haven't seen individual Tesla owners myself have that, but i'm a world away.

    I think targetted unfairly, is due to the brand close association to Musk. Its lazy and almost as bad as the hero worshippers themselves, but its a physical symbol of his influence, and symbolism is powerful.

  • Heard about this. What a dog of a human! It takes the most minute amount of empathy to understand her greedy self servitude for the world around.

  • Okay, this ones hard. Because i don't know how much of thisbis true, and how much is Betoota being betoota.

    Like, they almost sound like they're just reporting his movements and what he's saying here. 😂

  • A Modern Family reference. Nevermind, its a bit dated now i guess.

  • Find the lesser posted contributors to your field/s of interest, read them, post them, share your thoughts.

    This means you are actively using social media, actively considering different texts in subjects you already have an interest in, and actively using your brain to make considered contributions.

    This is my go to. Take a look at my post history in aussie-enviro. I continually go out of my way to find environmental or conservation organisations themselves instead of waiting only for a news site like Guardian to do a write up themselves.

    I'm finding my reading speed and attentiveness has improved, and i've better knowledge recall, especially on key details. Its of course fun as well.

  • This is a good (readable) guide Avoiding unfair business practices - a guide for businesses and legal practitioners - ACCC

    This is the legislation, COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT 2010 a hard read, but as they say in theguide above, theres no substitute for the Act.

    I wanted to go on a big speil and talk about it a bit, but i've not had mych time to sit down. Suffice to say i think we have really well reasoned country of origin legislation, and consumer protection generally in this country. Even if its appliaction isn't always ideal.

  • There is a growing group of people, myself included, loudly saying we need to rationalise and rebalance our tax system, Stephen Mayne and Alan Kohler, & Ken Henry (of course), being people who often speak really well on this subject.

  • So, the links don't work anymore so i wonder if the articles been retracted.

    But, assuming its not,

    The Royal Air Force is focused on buying more F-35s, of which there are currently only 32, and ensuring its new combat aircraft, Tempest, secures future funding.

    How does staying the course on this US led platform make sense for any partner Service?

    The army source said “we need reserve bases” across the country so reservists with busy day jobs do not have to travel far to carry out training. “That will keep the number up. If you have to travel 50 miles you can’t balance that with life.”

    This is a good idea that Aus should also apply. We also need to relax the conditions of 'Able' bodied, or more importantly restrict the scope by which claims can be made against the military for injuries incurred during service. Its probably overboard, and costly in manpower and resources.

  • Is Sue Lines, the President of the Senate, a joke to you! For interest, they also have no set term limits.

  • Sanity doesn't create our system,

    If the PM survives the voters, their Party dances them out, if the PM survives the Party, the PM resigns to spend more time with "family", if the PM survives the "family", the GG.... Kerrtails.

    The PMs power at any given time can seem a bit Schroedinger's cat.
