  • Bizzare thing, the "kid" is 31, has a previous conviction for 5 yrs, that was reduced to 3.

    They said they were told only "criminals" would be deported, did they ignore their sons conviction?

    In Australia that would have seen him deported when he was released from jail (anything >2 yrs) if anyone thinks my scumbag country is any better and "both sides" support that.

  • Are we ever goibg to get another Shiekd ? My Pro still works great (used adb and have FLauncher installed) but if it craps itaelf :(

  • Thats mostly what happned in Australia back in the day when we tried it. Mu friends wife was a social worker, she said coercion to have babies was endemic and the money taken off the mother by the asshat father when said money arrived. Not really a lack of critical thinking per se, just desperate :(

    What a debacle.

  • What ? The dental into Medicare thing has long been Greens policy along with a whole other bunch of stuff.

    They tried under Gillard to force the issue but had to accept children only in Medicare as a compromise..

    The environment policy centrism flows through into everything though, so it should stay front and centre eg public and alternate transport lowers; emissions, pollution, urban sprawl, human misery, heath expenditure, cost of living etc etc Medium density well insulated housing similarly helps lower hosing costs amd that all flows from sound environmental policy.

    You seem to be getting confused by media either ignoring them or pillorying them for devades, rather then actual Green ploicy ?

    The only real new thing was housing policy re renters based on Max etal actually experiencing housing stress and donating significant portions of thier parliamentary income to homeless charities rather then buying houses and fleecing tax payers ah la ALP/LNP/Teal politicians.

    I've been voting Green for15 years, Independents before that for 30 years but alas in that time its seen preferences fall through to shit stain lite, aka ALP.

    The whole thing is only going to get worse as Anthony Green quipped on election night, as new funding legislation mostly just supports the ALP and LNP.

  • I find the actual user ENGAGEMENT significantly worse.

    That's the point though?

    I don't use Mastodon for engagement but a feed of interesting stuff across a variety of subjects posted by others. Masto is a little bit like an RSS feed, I don't castigate RSS for that either.

    Therefore I've come to the clear scientific and educated decision that Lemmy is simply superior

    Sarcasm aside, that's like saying a screwdriver is better then a hammer.

  • To be fiar I do this as well as Greens voter :)

    Its just The Greens support taxing her and her billionare bell end buddies higher to pay for dental in Medicare, more social housing etc etx something Australian's don't seem to want, hence my push back against voters as well :)

    The difference is I just what to help all Australian's what she wants is to help hereslf.

  • Well Dutton did say The Biardian and ABC where left.

    Left of Sky is perhaps what she mrans but aa you pointed out there zero left wing media in Australia.

    To note Peta Credlin said much the same.

  • Indded but as an Australian, if I have to have an anal probe i'd rather it from the CCP as they wont share it with my Government.

  • Still super popular here in Australia

  • Woosh ? Thats literally the proble. thr OP referred to,he to has a Plexpass and his watchers are being notified.

  • Signal has worked fine for me

  • I think Dems need to take notice here,

    Just ignore the constituition and the rule of law and get shit done ?

  • Iv'e been "unemployed" since 2000. Best time ever.

    I'd seriously have to consider suicide if I had to go back to work becase of some fuck up on my part.

  • And the left is often paralyzed by the "complexity" of a solution and offers little no refuge for those in need

    Always, because they're not stupid, if they were, they'd be Conservatives ... and the answer to complex problems are not simple. That can't change.

    Alas, with Tate etal,

    It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.” - Franz Kafka

    "I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. . - John Stuart Mill

  • It's IT, it has to fail occasionally. There's a story every six months or so of some babk or other shitting the bed.

    Long ago I went with mutiple accounts, i run four banks (NAB, Macquarie, Bankwest & Ubank) and can just switch if one is down

    I'd suggest redundancy ? At least one other account. It will happen again.

  • Been voting for 40 years, all levels of Government, never once voted for anyone who has one. I am either the political kiss of death or, as I prefer to look at it, don't blame me for this shit mess, i didn't vote for it :)

  • Rice or pasta with cheap sauce and some grinded meat can sustain a person for quite a long time.

    Another tip is to mix ground beans (just use a blender, black beans and chick peas etc) into the minced meat as well at say 50/50
