Funnily. There are people around who shovel just those things into their gob just to spite the Greens.

TIL! Thanks for your help and for making a great app for Lemmy!

Cheers for all you guys do! I keep assuming hosting costs probably rise for the instance due to storage and bandwidth costs.

Cheers! I don’t know how to get to the instance sidebar in the Mlem app, but good to know!

The amount of people I know who think Trump is an idiot but swoon for Hanson is too damn high!! In the words of that Office meme “it’s the same picture.”
- Comment on Uncovered ballots prompt new count in seat of Narungga won by One Nation 3 months ago:
… Everyone in Narungga has already spoken — they wanted me as their strong loud voice," she said.
Emphasis mine.
God knows I didn’t vote for some One Nation bigot to speak for me. It’s a party using MAGA style politics in Australia and frankly they can fuck right off.
- Comment on [Video] Australia makes first arrest using new draconian "hate speech" laws against Palestine 4 months ago:
Hope those 6 officers got hazard pay for escorting such a dangerous criminal. She may look like a stiff breeze will push her over but don’t be fooled! Maybe they should have had a tank gun trained on her just to be sure.
Always amazes me how strong police want to look whilst accidentally looking incredibly weak.
- Comment on Aussie Insults 5 months ago:
Not an insult but one of my favourites is when it’s raining; “wet enough to bog a duck.” Don’t know if it’s Aussie exclusive but always gets a chuckle out of me.
- Comment on Can One Nation turn its polling hype into seats in parliament? History shows it will struggle 5 months ago:
God I hope not. When I’ve seen them on TV news recently they have been getting glazed by the likes of channel 9 and 10.
- Comment on The Current Situation (Sorry Americans) 5 months ago:
I think this is the particular one I’m thinking of.
I probably shouldn’t have used the term “direct request” since, knowing Lemmy users, that’d be taken as Trump himself telling Albo himself instead of governmental agency pressure to Australian institutions etc.
Last week US agencies sent some of those Australian researchers what appears to be a global notice, asking them to justify their funding, as well as a questionnaire grilling them on a host of issues — including their links with China and the Trump administration’s edicts recognising only two sexes.
- Comment on The Current Situation (Sorry Americans) 5 months ago:
This is the crux of the issue in my opinion. I wouldn’t give a damn about US politics if they weren’t constantly messing with everyone else.
It wasn’t that long ago they were directly requesting to change within Australia to combat “woke”. Fuck off mate, at least some of your citizens voted to mess up your country but leave ours alone.

It’s almost mandatory in a media landscape that’s majority owned by a handful of people with interests in controlling public perception.
- Comment on Trump asks Australia, Albanese to join Gaza 'Board of Peace' 6 months ago:
So an unstable leader, who’s given himself a leadership role in this gang and slings around threats willie nilly, wants us to volunteer to be a captive and pay a ransom to do so. That’s wild. It’d be insane to accept. So odds are good that’s what’ll happen.
- Comment on Adelaide Writers' Week cancelled after week of escalating controversy around [cancellation of] author Randa Abdel-Fattah 6 months ago:
Full quote from the article:
“We also apologise to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah for how the decision was represented and reiterate this is not about identity or dissent but rather a continuing rapid shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of expression in our nation following Australia’s worst terror attack in history.”
I don’t think it’s the apology that they think it is. Heavily paraphrasing: “it’s not about who you are or what you’ve done personally. It’s about your heritage and the dirty bloodline that represents after bad actors committed an atrocity.”

- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 11 months ago:
Yep. This is the correct answer but that’s not what this thread is about; it’s a nostalgic circle jerk mixed with a sprinkling of “back in my day”.
Don’t get me wrong here, I like the suggestions in this thread but literally one of the suggestions being upvoted is how the game is planned to handle servers (quick join is random and then there will be a list of community servers).
I’m fine with the official servers being random join, as long as I can pick and choose a community server. Which to state again, is apparently planned.
I’m still waiting for reviews on release to make sure they hold true to their marketing though. Can’t trust shit from large studios.

If Mastercard could stop someone from jizzing on a coworker’s desk I bet they would! Luckily for the politicians that way inclined, they can keep glazing desktops… for now.

Democracy! Major sponsors: Visa & Mastercard. Minor sponsors include Stripe, PayPal, newscorp and more!

Unironically, COD getting delisted would probably get mainstream media coverage and legitimate outrage from people who “don’t play video games” but actually do.
- Comment on Call to Power: How a Forgotten Civilization Spinoff Game Accurately Predicted the Future 1 year ago:
I still hold Call to Power as the best “Civilisation” game. I started playing the actual Civilisation games from Civ3 onwards and was pretty consistently disappointed because most of the ‘new and exciting features’ had already been in CtP and were often DLC in Civ. Kind of wish a modern CtP would get released.
