I use Boost.

I probably can enable display names and profile pics, but it's mostly just clutter.

They tried again with a drone themed username, and claiming the neopronoun "droneself"

I haven't seen anything from that username recently though.

Fuck that was fast.

I got called transphobe yesterday for pointing out that most mobile apps don't show display names or profile pictures, meaning the person they replied to wouldn't have had the same information they have.

They went a dozen comments deep with multiple users, screaming transphobe at every single person who disagreed with them.

Some people really need a bit of perspective on the situation.

OK? The point was, there's a lot of failure modes that result in the boat sinking, which is an inherently bad situation to be in.

Whereas most of the ways a car can fail you result in being stranded

There are many failure modes on a boat.

An engine failure can mean running around on rocks and wrecking the hull, or a failure of a through hull fitting can flood the boat, or a failure of the hull itself.

What's the horse's name, just out of interest?

You can buy a beaten up old aluminum dingy for very little, and make it worth your while by bringing home seafood.

You can have a boat for quite cheap.

The situation above just sounds like a floating trailer park to me.

Having said that, you can buy brand new canal boats.

Firstname.lastname@address is pretty much a universal standard, why would you use anything else?

Nah, it's blue.

Phones are a status purchase;

Bullshit, at least with the people I know. Literally nobody I know is interested in how much my phone cost me.

You're willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.

OK, now someone else go lower.

Usually I find these AI generated images to be roughly as interesting as someone's medical issues, but this really is brilliant.

Never mind the mouse coming out of the keyboard, or whether the AI can't decide whether that's a bag or a can on the desk.

I saw a chichuaua attack my border collie once, she somehow flipped it on it's back, put a paw on it's neck, snarled at it, then let it go.

She handled that better than most humans would have.

There's nothing in that screenshot that indicates to me the dad is a homophobe.

And what is your better idea? Abandon our allies and wait for them to come for us next?

Besides, Ukraine has been holding off Russia for three years, while Russia's oil infrastructure mysteriously explodes, and sanctions slowly cripple their economy.

After seeing Ukrainian men beaten and thrown into vans to be taken to their deaths, I'm not enthusiastic about NZ becoming the Ukraine of the Pacific.

I'm curious what, exactly, you mean by that. What would "the Ukraine of the Pacific" look like, and what do you think we can do to avoid that fate?

It's entirely possible they just haven't really put much thought into the situation.

As a guy who also works on construction sites, if you're looking for site labourers, there's a good chance they'd hire someone who walks in off the street.
