  I swear I was learning about extra X and Y in high school 20 years ago and that studies (at the time) were showing correlation between different traits displayed by effected people. Just that alone shows incredible gender fluidity.

  So where we are, 20 years later, you’d think we’d have a better understanding within society but instead somehow it’s literally regressed since then.

  If another service such as Matrix can built similar screen sharing into their applications then I’d be able to convince my friends to make the shift. As it stands there isn’t really a 1:1 equivalent.

  Bigbutt finna make me act up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is confused⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve currently been trying to get divorced for almost 12 months. My ex left me for someone else so you’d think it’d be an open and shut case but she’s also being belligerent within the legal process and drawing out the timeline.

  I find it incredible how many hoops need jumping through in Australia just to not be legally bound to a cheating spouse.

  Just like the NBN. Right? Hard pass. Nice to know they aren’t just opposed to it for no reason but at least we can be somewhat confident Labour won’t fumble the ball on purpose and then blame the whole premise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨horizontal boogie⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That got me too. Like, what?! Is corpo social media so sensitive that people can’t mention a scientific name for something now? Soon when joining Facebook it’ll give users a handy infographic of allowed words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polling on treatment of asylum seekers.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, I have the opposite experience. Living in rural Australia I often come across people who treat any non-white person as “other”.

  A good example of this is an ex-coworker who refused to eat Indian food because she’s not a “curry muncher”. I pointed out that she likes butter chicken and that’s curry. She admitted that she did indeed like butter chicken but not curry.

  That’s the logic we’re dealing with. It’s hostility driven by a lack of exposure to other cultures and people and the demonisation of those cultures and people in media.

  I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you! Well, maybe not that shocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says X’s algorithm pushes “too much negativity" while reports suggest the platform will suppress "criticism of the government" and "attacks against powerful people and institutions"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was wondering who the hell this Grok person was. I was thinking about what an unfortunate name for a person! No surprise that it’s actually a product and [probably] directly named by an immature billionaire edgelord.

  To be clear, I know he didn’t invent the name. But if someone’s parents named them ‘Grok’ I’d understand if they went for a name change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Free" Speech Absolutist™⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s one of those things where, while I’m sick of hearing about his bullshit, I need to know if he does something that directly affects me. E.g. if he started doing a similar thing in my country as the stuff he’s trying with Britain at the moment then I’d write to a couple of representatives to let them know they’ll lose mine and many other votes if they side with the dopey billionaire muppet.

  It’s weird, Australian schools didn’t teach them either… does the rest of the world exist, perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I read it as “better help uhh therapist” because of the stupid ass self censorship. I’m not blaming the user for doing it, just annoyed for natural real world language getting hamstrung to satisfy advertisers. How long until “tisk tisk tisk! You can’t say ‘ahh’, that’s a naughty word!”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen how the public system can work when it’s working well and I’ve read plenty of terrifying stories from USA from both “successful” and failed private health visits to know that our public system is a treasure that we should try our damndest to protect.

  It’s part of why I’ve copped the Medicare charge instead of getting private health when I turned 30. I would rather pay a little more for a decent health system than pay a lot more for a shit one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But then how would the established aristocracy elevate themselves above the common rabble to justify a company position that already has their name on it thanks to nepotism? Surely those poor nepobabies won’t have to compete with The Poors in the future! How unjust!
