- Comment on Philz Coffee Being Sold to Private Equity Firm for $145 Million, Employees Reportedly Getting Screwed Out of Their Stock 1 week ago:
The only reason this is possible is because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracies”.
Everyone knows this is criminal. The criminals don’t give a fuck.
- Comment on Breaking: Pro-Palestinian march across Sydney Harbour Bridge allowed to go ahead 1 week ago:
Oi mate, ya got a permit for that civil disobedience?
- Comment on What causes the musty laundry smell and what you can do about it 1 week ago:
You don’t need ammonia. Just warm water and a half cup of detergent. Fill the softener dispenser with vinegar. Hang within a few hours of washing. If you can’t hang them outside, aim a fan at them.
I haven’t had this problem in years.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 2 weeks ago:
There are similar forces at work everywhere.
Crimes pays, and the criminal oligarchs in every economy prefer dictatorship to democracy.
- Comment on Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia's stance on Israel/Palestine 2 weeks ago:
Yep. It makes it blatantly clear how every genocide, war crime, and atrocity in history has ever happened.
The majority of people are gutless, spineless, ignorant, or selfish, so history will just keep repeating until we completely destroy the planet and ourselves.
- Comment on looks like the one 1% can't be everywhere. 2 weeks ago:
That’s not great, but not unprecedented. This clip is most likely cherry picked.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
PO-TA-TO
- Comment on Guardian reporting on antisemitism plan proposed by government. Sweeping proposals including withdrawing funding from unis. Envoy claims that academia is steeped in antisemitism. 4 weeks ago:
Every neolib corporate-whore government knows that the best way to quell the growing antisemitism Is to equate judaism with a genocidal, colonialist, religious nationalist, fascist nation state… and if you don’t agree, they’ll persecute you for your empathy!
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 5 weeks ago:
Everyone who downloads this app will be shortlisted for the gulags. Big tech is working hand in hand with fascism.
- Comment on FCC chair decides inmates and their families must keep paying high phone prices 5 weeks ago:
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it’s a corporate dictatorship.

This is an ad, and bullshit.
- Comment on The state of YouTube history search 1 month ago:
Got em!
- Comment on Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads to 6 Minutes Per Hour 1 month ago:
I’ve only ever used Prime whenever they offer it free or with a cheaper delivery than it costs.
Last time it started showing ads, so I just pirated everything I wanted to watch. I won’t even use it for free anymore, lol.
- Comment on From Hero to Zero (Budget) 1 month ago:
Not if they continue using the Nazi propaganda machine.
- Comment on ‘We have a mandate to act’: PM throws open doors to bolder agenda 1 month ago:
This masthead reported last week that Australian officials believe biosecurity rules could be tweaked to allow US beef into Australia, a key demand of the Trump administration, without compromising safety.
I will literally never knowingly buy US beef as long as I live. I’d prefer to eat tofu.
- Comment on Amazon vows to crack down on piracy on its Fire TV Stick range 1 month ago:
We’re rapidly approaching the time when a raspberry pi and bluetooth remote are the ultimate streaming stick.
- Comment on China's AI-powered humanoid robots aim to transform manufacturing 2 months ago:
Oh… goodie
- Comment on Mozilla is killing Pocket and Fakespot 2 months ago:
Yeah, unless they can be transferred freely between password managers they’re effectively a useless non-starter that multiplies vendor lock in.
- Comment on Hundreds join Sydney Uni Student General Meeting to reject university's new definition of antisemitism 2 months ago:
This is fucking horseshit. Sounds like every decision maker at Universities Australia is a criminally corrupt fascist. Any educator who spent leave over this is unworthy of being an educator.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 2 months ago:
False. I completely stopped pirating music 15 years ago, when streaming services came along that had 99% of what I wanted. The moment they enshittify and their value proposition deteriorates, I will sail the high seas again.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 2 months ago:
To be fair, 24 is still a secure length for a password, and will probably be for another 5+ years.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 2 months ago:
The illusion of choice under capitalism
- Comment on Trump admin announces plans to shut down the Energy Star program 2 months ago:
This will surely fix the price of eggs
- Comment on Trump's New Streaming Service Truth+ Is a Conspiracy Theorist's Dream Come True 2 months ago:
They’ve had Fox News for 30 years. His nazi party wouldn’t have won without it.
- Comment on Rian Johnson Says ‘I Don’t’ Agree With Netflix CEO Over Movie Theater Model Being ‘Outdated’: I Want ‘Knives Out 3’ in ‘Many Theaters For as Long as Possible’ 3 months ago:
Streaming quality is pretty dogshit compared to bluray or digital cinemas though. The files are compressed a good 5-10x.
That’s only really matters for a few movies a year.
- Comment on Two arrested following fiery protests in Melbourne CBD 3 months ago:
When they’re also implementing laws that could potentially serve to arbitrarily criminalise peaceful protesting you really need to be asking what is defined as “hate speech”. I did not see this in the article.
Do they mean supporting palestinians = “hate speech”, or do they mean calling for violence against groups of people? I thought that was already illegal, so what does this change?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the first cave paintings were a dick joke
- Comment on Meta could take a $7 billion hit this year because of Trump's tough China tariffs 3 months ago:
Don’t get fooled by the oligarch-owned media. The wealthiest individuals will benefit the most.
Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state (e.g. state-capitalism, like China). The next few years will likely see the largest transfer of wealth in history, and the S&P 500 will consolidate from an ownership of 200 separate conglomerates to 20-50 (example only. not real figures).
- Comment on Elon Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive 3 months ago:
They need to federate and decentralize with some sort of p2p protocol, so anyone can donate their spare hard drives for additional redundancy. Seeing up shop in any jurisdiction is a single point of failure.
