This happens under Biden and the Democrats.

Are you implying Biden has any sort of say over what happens on private university campuses, and state police?

There may not be any hope of changing his mind. But pointing out the ridiculousness of their comment can potentially make the difference to other people who may not have the same knowledge, or haven't thought it through.

They're bats, because they are perfectly comfortable in the dark. It's the 'lost' bit that's a mystery

What's the problem with paying more that the shitty shift becomes desirable enough for people to fight over? Seems a lot better than making it suck and forcing everybody to suffer

Oil rigs and mines aren't exactly living off the land. Dropping enough preserved food off to supply a facility wouldn't be too difficult. The main reason nobody's doing it is the international treaties involved

"Pay-to-win is accepted here [in Interactive World], but the free-to-play experience is awful and that's what needs to be improved right now."

Who could have foreseen that?

Hope she's doing well, shame what the CCP did to her

I'd marry him to share his wardrobe

No wonder Ukraine and Russia have better soil quality, that's a pretty low bar.

Around here

Where's that, for those of us who aren't your neighbours? 😛

Just don't do it in the landfills, then? Ethylene glycol is a chemical with practical uses, there's no reason not to collect it in a recycling facility.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Lots of things are toxic, we can deal with them in industrial settings just fine. Pretty much everything we use is toxic at some point in its manufacturing process

Have you met babies? They'll eat anything, period. Except their food. That's half the challenge in parenting.

Sure. If the Christchurch group or Aussie govt wants to call them out for not honouring their agreement, shame them, kick them out, whatever, that's fine. I'm all for that. Fuck Xitter. I fully understand there's nothing noble about their motives. There is however a difference between that and legally forcing a platform to censor content worldwide. Australia is claiming legal authority over the entire world, how do you not see the issue there?

What point are you trying to make here? I've already stated that the content is objectionable, and that ideally Xitter should have taken it down themselves. The problem I, and everybody else here, has is that Australia does not have the authority to unilaterally decide what content the entire world may or may not access. This is regardless of the video content and it would be nice if you could discuss the actual point.

It may be legal and appropriate according to Australian law. That doesn't mean the rest of us around the world are ok with abiding by their laws and whatever they decide is 'acceptable' for us to watch. Especially given Australia's history of censorship when it comes to media and culture.

Again, they're not obeying the Christchurch agreement they signed. I agree with you on that point. That was not the point of my comment.

What's the relevance?

I agree with the Christchurch Call, that platforms, media and govts should avoid disseminating and giving publicity to terrorists and their causes. If Xitter were to take down content for that reason, I'd applaud them. However, that is a voluntary agreement that should be self-enforced by the signatories upon themselves. Nothing there gives Australia the right to determine for the rest of the world what content may or may not be shared online.

Musk is an ass, but this is a complex issue that goes way beyond Australia. Many govts are censoring content on social media within their countries. The last thing they need is precedent allowing them to remove videos from a platform entirely worldwide.

Ok? It's not like there's any way to prevent things like this from happening. Are you going to ban all outsourcing worldwide?

Edit: I'd be interested to hear from the downvoters WHY they're disagreeing with this...
