“Who the hell does the RBA think will bear the cost of this ridiculous decision? First, merchants, and then customers,” Lambert said.

So why don't you fight for the banks to stop charging merchants those fees, since they have many orders of magnitude more money than you, and you have magnitudes more than the customer? I grabbed breakfast from the cafe in my apartment building the other day, they charged $9 for a plain croissant, plus the card surcharge. We're getting fucking robbed here and all you can do is pretend to care that the bank will force you to charge us more.

Hopefully soon they'll wonder why they're putting so much effort into defending someone who never takes his foot out of his mouth.

This feels like another one of those funny jokes that someone will come along and ruin by telling me he's serious.

It's infuriating that he comes back to get the last word and prove that he didn't learn anything.

If you think it's "mind-boggling" then you need to drive more. Take the dash cam footage from my drive to work on any day and you'll find plenty of people driving dangerously and illegally. Throw the book at them.

I don't think they do convey the same information.

“They don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” US President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary four-letter outburst as he criticised breaches of the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Trump aimed the bulk of his anger at Israel, saying he would try to avert further planned attacks.

All the summary has done is remove the quote. That part IS the news that's being reported on, it matters just as much as the context.

Qatar was the “obvious choice” for Iranian retaliation against the US because it hosts the largest US military base in the Middle East while also acting as a trusted intermediary for Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari explained after the missile attack near Doha.

This one has removed the source (which is fair enough if you think that's not useful information, but I wouldn't agree), one of the two reasons given, and the context. Someone who only sees this summary will have no idea what it's about or how to look into it further, which means they're going to have to read the (one sentence) article anyway.

As for paragraphs, yes. Text that looks like this

is not useful to anybody. I'm not reading this, you haven't read this. It's awful.

Obviously. Point is it's either completely unreadable or completely unnecessary. Why are you summarising a postcard?

I'm like the only person here actually giving feedback. Make it readable and don't waste people's time summarising two sentences.

When I looked a couple of hours ago the first link's summary was an enormous block of text with no formatting and the second was about 40 words summarised to 20.

even less on desktop computers

Blocktube and Enhancer for Youtube are Firefox extensions that can hide all of that shit completely. Mine has all shorts disabled, and I've removed the recommended videos panels from the right hand side & ends of videos, plus disabled any non-playlist autoplay. There's still crap on the Home tab, but I don't use that so I've never needed to look into ways to improve it, I just use the subbed tab and playlists. My YT shows me exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The Blocktube extension settings can be password-locked.

I agree, and please use actual fire.

That's exactly what happened in 2020 isn't it? Trump wanted to stop Covid testing, because less testing meant fewer confirmed cases. Then thousands of people died every single day from uhh... something else.

So NFTs and Cybertrucks?

The Absolute comics are reimaginings of the characters that make some big changes to them and the worlds they're in. This isn't like, THE Batman, this version is an engineer rather than a billionaire and his mum is alive. It's alright, but Martian Manhunter, The Flash and Green Lantern are all more interesting to me than the trinity so far.

Wonder Woman is pretty cool though, she fights demons with a huge sword and has a mechanical arm, it was a big Berserk reference.

Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.

Lawful good for homemade, lawful neutral until my gf throws out the thingy and forces me to go with chaotic neutral.

Holding shift and dragging the selection box around in paint was like 60% of my computer classes.

I agree, truly. Madly.

...deeply

I haven't used the app for a while, but I still have it installed. The delete account button doesn't work, and neither does the feedback button. Cool.

I'm surprised your cops aren't all being forced to drive them. I'd love to see that.
