- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 4 days ago:
People generally don’t know or care which level of government is responsible for what, and for most issues it’s a mix anyway: state governments can’t run a deficit the same way a Federal government can, so they could pitch in one way or another, especially if they’re almost all run by the same party until recently.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 5 days ago:
It would help if Labor didn’t fuck over one of the biggest unions in the country. They’re dragging their feet on giving other union members (nurses, transport workers, etc) the raises they deserve too. Like, these people worked in impossible circumstances during the pandemic, and now the politicians are acting like they completely forgot about that.
Obviously things would be worse with the liberals, but come on. They’re just too focused on getting a balanced budgets because they don’t want a bad headline in the Australian (which they’ll get anyway regardless).
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 days ago:
They were designed to be only used for the administration of social security. Since they were sending monthly checks, they needed a way to know that the person going to the office and saying their address changed was who they said they were. This was at a time before driver’s licences were common and they didn’t have any other type of ID, and there were just a lot fewer people.
Later on the SSN started to be used by banks and other entities even though it was never meant for that, and the risks associated with the relatively insecure design just compounded, because instead of just fraudulently claiming someone else’s social security checks (which, unless the target died, would probably be figured out within a month), it opened up all sorts of extra avenues for fraud.
- Comment on I worked hard on this meme and now I can't use it because the guy's a Nazi 6 days ago:
Yeah, I never really got why everyone jumped at Kanye for that in particular. The response to Katrina was ridiculous and there were plenty of instances where black people were left to fend for themselves, or worse, accused of ‘looting’ when they tried to go out and find food in stores that closed down.
Obviously, everything that happened after is indefensible.
- Comment on Liberal women 'least happy and loneliest', according to new survey 6 days ago:
Yeah, probably has a lot to do with the policies targeting exactly those women.
- Comment on The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down 1 week ago:
I hear the government is funneling billions to some sort of satellite internet thing that wouldn’t be economically viable without those subsidies. Maybe they should look into that waste.
- Comment on The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down 1 week ago:
They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 1 week ago:
Did they talk about nuking the great lakes again?
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 week ago:
The ‘For You’ feed Musk is pushing on everyone.
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 week ago:
I want to know which dying kids had Kanye on their list.
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 week ago:
I mean, obviously. I thought Yeezys were stupid when they came out.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Are you the (ex-) husband?
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 week ago:
Adidas is somehow still selling Yeezys though.
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 week ago:
I mean, those guys love themselves a race traitor and they’d welcome him, in a ‘we’ll kill you after we’re done with the others’ sort of way.
- Comment on As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, wtf. The man said racist things on day one. The reason he won the primary was because he said the racist stuff outright instead of the traditional Republican dog whistle. The only reason they say DEI is because they might still get in trouble for saying the N-word.
- Comment on Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models. 2 weeks ago:
They were only for the free market if they could force it on others.
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, pretty sure that’s not a thing.
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 3 weeks ago:

It was definitely something he ran on, and Obama even signed an executive order to do it.
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 3 weeks ago:
You had 2 Democratic presidents since it opened. It’s a legitimate criticism. Trump is using existing infrastructure that could’ve been dismantled.
- Comment on Anon has a business idea 3 weeks ago:
I’m talking about this feature: www.adobe.com/au/products/…/generative-fill.html
You could just take a photo of a person and then let Photoshop generate a whole wedding around them.
- Comment on Anon has a business idea 3 weeks ago:
Photoshop has this stuff built in too nowadays, I believe.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
How many devices do you have that don’t have a switch on the device itself?
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
Children love playing with the switch, so I’m not sure how that’s supposed to protect them.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
The rest of Europe has 220V as well and they don’t have switches on their outlets.
- Comment on U.S. Army Plans to Eliminate Office for Reducing Civilian Harm in War 4 weeks ago:
It’s not like they’ve been super effective anyway.
- Comment on The words "diversity", "equity" and "inclusion" seem to be blocked from NIH website's search function 4 weeks ago:
That’s what I meant, it’s the closest they can get to complying without actually complying (not to mention, it’s not really possible to go through every document and redact it within the timeframe demanded).
- Comment on The words "diversity", "equity" and "inclusion" seem to be blocked from NIH website's search function 4 weeks ago:
I guess they were asked to remove any reference to DEI from the website, and instead of updating millions of documents, they just blocked it from search.
- Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement 4 weeks ago:
I figured anyone that wanted one would’ve bought it by now.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
None of the mainstream media wanted to call it out for what it was. They profess to be centrist, but you could indeed probably classify them as centre right, especially when it comes to economic issues.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Also accidentally following a ton of Nazi accounts on Twitter and replying ‘interesting!’ or ‘you’re absolutely right!’ whenever those accounts blame the Jews/globalists/immigrants for anything.
