You're funny!

Same here. Though I wasn't as concerned as I thought it was a click bait.

I'm old, I remember internet. Memes can be fun, but internet was better.

Why would you go to a site like that without an ad blocker?

How are you liking driving Tesla, the build, interior etc.? I've heard they're great at first but then the novelty wears off and you start noticing the shortcomings.

I don't get all the hate Brave gets. I understand that techies have some issues, but for me as a user I have nothing bad to say. Ads are blocked everywhere, including YouTube. There's an option to use tor...

If you don't like the crypto options don't use them. I always thought crypto was bunk, but I wish I bought a bunch of bitcoin when I first heard of it.

If you use the same cup for everything it doesn't matter.

I thought that asbestos was outlawed. Though I do remember learning about its anti - fire uses in school. Yes, I am kinda old.

There are national education standards, so yes, take the state government decisions out of the equation. Say: "provide $x per student, we'll contribute $y per student." we don't need states (or federal govt) increasing contributions to private schools while decreasing it for public schools. I understand that being in opposition you have to contradict just about anything the government says. I also understand that being in government you have to think of not alienating the swing voters. Yes, doing the right thing is not in the nature of governments.

Solution is simple if you're not the government or the opposition. Gradually phase out funding to independent schools, while you set up new ones.

What we need is equal opportunity for every kid. Private schools are the antithesis of that. If your family can afford it, you're getting a leg up, if they can't, well, here's some bootstraps.

Sorry about honing on the catholic schools. You've mentioned them and my partner still has PTSD from her catholic education. I also see no need for religious school funding, especially those run by the biggest child molestation organisation on the planet.

I'll just leave you with some numbers. Here are school numbers (government, catholic, independent...). Please note the vast difference in number of government schools VS the rest. https://shorturl.at/tEPT6 (acara.edu.au)

Here is how much funding the education department provides this year: 10.6B for 6600 public schools and 16.4B for ~3000 of the rest. https://shorturl.at/bFH89 (education.gov.au)

All we need to do is fund public schools. Given the fact that Australia has a secular government and the catholic church pays no taxes, while still receiving taxpayer funded handouts it's only fair.

People don't know what the word "turgid" means and that invalidates his entire opinion. Have you not seen how many upvotes the thesaurus comment got?

True, I've not seen Saving Private Ryan for awhile, but Forgotten Battle seemed more brutally realistic to me. Excellent film by the way.

I looked forward to House of the Dragon. I won't be watching season 2 though.

He could also pay his rent and other bills.

The rich people's kids are entitled to public education.

If you make education system based on class you're going to deepen the social divide. This is already happening. People in power will advocate for private schools because that is where their kids go.

There is a public school system available to everyone. If people want to send their kids to private schools, they have every right to, but should be prepared to cover 100% of the expenses without any aid from the government.

The only judeo-christian religion I know about are Jews for Jesus.

Pogroms on Jewish people were perpetrated by christians. Where were the judeo-christian values then?

Allowed, sure, but is such community a good idea? I don't think so.

People still have crypto?
