I’m glad the author added this line.
I can’t tell, are you being sarcastic?
- Comment on kingdom come 19 hours ago:
I was literally saying this about the mushrooms the other day!
- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 2 days ago:
You also talked about, in that comment, the age all other things are defined as adulthood, but that’s not even clear. Contract law says 18, unless you qualify for unreasonable to live at home, where you can sign contracts at 16. The driving age is 17 in several states. Medical privacy takes effect at 15. Age of consent nationwide is 16 (as long as the other person doesn’t have a duty of care over you). So there’s already a lot of precedent for a younger age of adulthood.
When I was 16, I was politically involved and I wanted to be able to vote. You could say that anything you’re not motivated to care about is a distraction. Plenty of things are tried again in politics as the world progresses. That’s like saying we should give up on climate change.

The article says they have a 9-month old, I’ve seen Dyson purifiers kick on due to baby powder in the air being a contaminant so that could also explain some of it.
- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 3 days ago:
Yeah, you probably wouldn’t see much need for it if you aren’t sixteen. Meanwhile, if you were, you’d probably be sitting there wondering why the rest of us keep fluffing up the climate that you’d have to live with.
- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 3 days ago:
I don’t think suggesting younger teenagers be allowed to vote is “culture war bullshit”. It certainly wouldn’t do her any favours considering that young people tend to overwhelmingly vote for left parties.
- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 3 days ago:
Teenagers are quite literally disenfranchised.
- Comment on Workers striking by choice could lose unemployment benefits in blue states under GOP proposal 4 days ago:
It brings balance to the employer-employee relationship
Because that’s certainly currently weighted towards the employee side of things, right? Right??
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY 4 days ago:
Some people do really prefer the buttons to be correct, myself included. As for repairability, I’ve never had issues with any other 8bitdo product that weren’t an easy fix.

Yeah I mean, mushrooms get lumped into the vegetable category most of the time and they’re a fungus!
- Comment on I can fix her 1 week ago:
Yeah, I just had my phone the whole time. It turns out that completely cutting people off from their support network doesn’t promote mental wellbeing.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 week ago:
If leaving a child in a car was a crime, you’d think they’d charge that up front?
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 1 week ago:
Now the 20-year-old mother has been charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter and two felony counts of willful cruelty to a child, according to court records.
Is it not a specific crime in California/US to leave a child locked in a car?? We don’t fluff around with that in Australia. Also have exceptions to property damage laws for bystanders breaking windows.

- Comment on Dolph is prime human 2 weeks ago:
No one. Like I said, you can self-identify but it is also a title you can have from a job or similar.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 2 weeks ago:
What kinda essentialism is this? Artist is also absolutely a job title. Sure, you can self-describe as well, but there are people that get paid to be an artist.

I wouldn’t necessarily agree with the creator’s opinion that Kim is not to be faulted at all, but I do believe that out of everyone she has the least amount of fault.

that looks like a sponge x3
- Comment on Carnivory in Plants 3 weeks ago:
Since as long as carnivore has been a word, probably. Carnivory is the noun for the act of eating meat, carnivore is the noun for a creature that eats meat and carnivorous is the adjective to describe a creature that eats meat.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but most people trade their phones in after two to three years.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 4 weeks ago:
But is it better than someone else getting use out of the phone for several more years? Because that’s what I’m suggesting, and it seems you’re arguing against a strawman…
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 4 weeks ago:
It’s the same as trading in a car versus selling it on the private market. It is ALWAYS a bad deal. It’s also not like if you trade it in that’s more environmentally friendly, because they just recycle it immediately, and most of the carbon emissions come from manufacture. They’re just trying to inflate prices by killing the second-hand market.
If you’re that worried about your data, screen who you’re selling it too. But unless you’re a journalist, politician or very high up in a business, you’re probably fine.

You’re forgetting the three other Xindi species, that are much less humanoid. The Avians, who look much like a pterodactyl. The Insectoids, who look like praying mantis. And the coolest of them, the Aquatics, who have amazing spaceships full of water rather than air, which made for some awesome scenes!

like you inciting violence upon British people for example, and feeling like that’s an okay stance to take
😂😂
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 5 weeks ago:
Irish famine; Invasion of so-called Australia; Israel’s persecution of Palestinians; Indian-Pakistani conflict. Pick your poison.
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 5 weeks ago:
I’ll ask you again, are you going to take any responsibility? Otherwise I’m just blocking you, I’m tired of the sealioning now.

- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 5 weeks ago:
You’re arguing in bad faith. I have literally, multiple times now, said I take accountability on behalf of my country. I just refuse to absolve yours of guilt and that seems to be upsetting you quite a bit.
Also I forgot that Charles was a British politician and not the King of Australia, a title he holds independently due to the Westminster Act you linked.
