Please think of your family haha: https://www.wikihow.com/Enable-the-Double-Tap-Period-Shortcut-on-an-iPhone Or https://www.techbone.net/android/user-manual/double-space-full-stop

If you use a different keyboard, then you're on your own.

Or just don't double tap space!

Funnily enough, this is the case for men too. Hence all the "this has never happened to me before" memes on TV shows in the 90s and 00s.

0_0 I take it you do the lion's share of the finances haha

At least I hope

Thanks for the in-depth response! These fair-share fees sound great, an anti-scab fee haha

54%?? Yikes.

Right to work? Is this some euphemism for some awful employment laws, in the mould of the Australian Liberal Party's (the Conservatives) "Work Choices" legislation?

I can't wait for the budget framework to come out, 1 because current lineup is expensive (well, more than I'd like to spend on a laptop. I'll run my shitty 2018 Microsoft Surface Pro 6 into the ground), but 2 because the product will be even more polished by that time.

Can't wait to have a laptop and then just have it for like 10 years. Especially if it's Linux out of the box 👍👍

300 Nazis outing themselves and going to prison to (hopefully) be rehabilitated with counseling?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

(I am aware the prison system is not super fantastic in Australia, but we're miles ahead of the US, and some of this 300 may actually be dissuaded. And also, they're Nazis, so. If you believe your fellow human beings are animals, then you don't get free speech, sorry.)

Thanks for sharing this

I'll be honest, I'm not super familiar on the timeline.

I'm not looking forward to the future though, even less so than before :/

Oh well, we persevere

I wonder when we're gonna get the Reichstag fire

Can confirm, while Hunan stinky tofu is stinky, it doesn't taste "stinky".

How does it breathe?

I will be shocked if the cost of living comes down at a notable rate when compared to other developed countries.

Conservatives have never been better at managing the economy, yet people believe they are, for some reason ¯(ツ)_/¯

Whoops :(

I completely seriously, put forth that it's the soul-crushing, rampant late-stage capitalism, with poor worker protections, much more than the lack of political freedom, is what is driving the low birth rates. (Now, obviously different story during one child policy).

I just think people are way to quick to overlook the economics, which is currently happening almost everywhere (the stupid house prices, real wages not keeping up with price inflation, the wealth gap between the richest and poorest of a nation getting larger, etc)

If China became a mutli-party representative democracy overnight, you can bet your ass no one is going to be having any more children than they are right now.

If you were to ask the average Chinese person if they support their government, the answer would be yes, despite what some people outside China would like to believe. (On average, of course there are still a notable number who aren't happy at all with the government).

I can't believe this is actually real, or the most professional looking joke I've seen in a while: https://theowo.london/

As long as I'm still allowed to pretend episodes 7, 8 & 9 did not happen. They just stray too far from good world building for me to allow them to exist in my head-cannon.

And preferably, I would like the people who do like them to stop liking them, because Disney is motivated by money haha

I am selfish, and I'm okay with that

Let's be honest, if you are doing serious math, you'll have a graphing calculator to do way more stuff, and the controls are much more like a mini computer (with a backspace key, and being able to delete individual lines of history, or all of the history with menus)

Nearly every medication changes your cognition—even OTC antihistamines.

I don't know what it's like in your country, but in mine depending on the level of impact it will say on the packet, and is illegal to drive while under the influence of any medication that impacts your ability to drive safely or operate heavy machinery.

I didn’t intend to imply it is the case for everyone

People should make the decisions that are best for them—know thyself.

One last time, I don’t endorse this style of living for everyone, but it works for me

Nah, this is not okay.

I do not accept this as a reasonable way to determine what we allow as societies in terms of vehicular safety. Someone's freedom to decide for themselves what they consider to be safe, stops at everyone else's freedom to not be run over. I very much assert what's safe should be determined with science and enforced with regulation/laws. Not by everyone personally deciding for themselves.

You might be surprised at the sheer number of people who operate vehicles while stoned safely.

Dosing aside (I'm not making claims on what level is safe). We have a very important saying in my industry: just because a safety event hasn't happened yet, isn't evidence that a practice is acceptably safe. (Paraphrased). This is literally what habitual drunk drivers who aren't that drunk when they drive tell themselves "it's fine", because they haven't had a crash and are very careful. Sure, but they're increasing the likelihood of a crash nonetheless.

There may well be people out there who have driven high without incident, my response would be 1. Let's quantify that first before allowing it, and 2. They do this without incident, so far.

I'm sure you're very careful, and don't drive too high. You may never have a serious accident. But on a societal level, that's just not an acceptable way to determine what is acceptably safe. Who are you to say that you aren't increasing the likelihood of harm to someone else?

Wanna decide everything for yourself? Go live in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone else, where your decisions won't impact others.

Don't drive high unless you can back up your claims with more than "trust me bro".
