- Comment on "I Was So Surprised and Shocked": Shohreh Aghdashloo on How Devoted 'Expanse' Fans Manifested Her Casting in 'The Wheel of Time' Season 3 1 hour ago:
I dunno, I feel like that’s a bit of a cop out. There’s more flaws than just the story being a bit off.
The fan produced episode was legitimately better in terms of bringing the world to life in my opinion… And it had a budget of about $8. Amazon should have just given these dudes the money.

Actuallly you know what? Let the Amazon one be another turning of the wheel and give these dudes money to do another one. I’d watch it again. I’ve read the series a dozen times over.

As a book reader, it sucks. They did Mat dirty, and they completely ballsed up… well pretty much everything.
As a stand alone series, it’s probably not too bad.
- Comment on Will Australia’s media do better at cracking down on lies this election? The signs aren’t good 3 weeks ago:
Just calling out lies in general would be nice.
Also this fake balance shit is getting old.
Its like heres the scientific fact, backed by studies / proof / logic with results that can be replicated… BUT IN THE INTERESTS OF BALANCE, here’s some utter nutjub who believes god is a sock.
Alternatively, here’s Dutton who used insider trading and ??? methods ??? to achieve a portfolio in the triple digits of millions on a cops salary… BUT MEANWHILE ALBO BOUGHT A MANSION for $4m! FOUR WHOLE MILLION! The leader of the country! FOUR million! Its like he’s just rubbing our noses in it! Unlike Dutton who’s hard work and sacrifice is clearly the reason behind his huge gains in self wealth.

I wish I worked a job where my biggest concern was the difference between starting at 12:30 or 12:35.
- Comment on Legendary ABC chief election analyst Antony Green to step down 4 weeks ago:
I’ll always admire his passion during elections. Dude is like an soccer commentator, getting all over excited over tiny movements and throwing up replays and overlays with arrows pointing at stuff and everything.
I hope his replacement has the same passion.

Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I’m giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

I don’t know about propoganda from a political point of view, but the amount of casual animal cruelty on the platform is enough for me to leave it with a worse opinion of the country than I originally had.

- Comment on Catch: Wesfarmers winds down online marketplace, putting 190 jobs on the line 2 months ago:
I used to buy some of their lame crap back when it was 1 unique item a day. It was kind of fun, even if most of the stuff I ended up with was total junk.
But just being eBay, or Amazon, or Kogan, but worse? What’s the point.
- Comment on TikTok goes dark in the US as Trump says he's likely to give ban 'reprieve' 2 months ago:
I actually joined Rednote just to see what it’s like.
It’s cool, being on a platform that’s mostly people from another country/culture/language. You see that people are pretty much the same world over.
… Same inane bollocks from “influencers”, same stupid jump cuts constantly to make something boring look partially exciting, always with the end goal of pushing some product or service. But now it’s in Mandarin, and the brand names are written in moonrunes so I don’t know what they are.
- Comment on Satellite images reveal devastating scale of LA fires 2 months ago:
I know fires bad, people dying sad, etc, but I feel if there’s going to be fires (and there’s gonna be!) then an affluent area of LA is probably the “best” place for it right? People living there are in the best position to support themselves after losing their house more so than if it was in a poor area where they have no financial backing.
- Comment on Annual General Thread 2 months ago:
I dunno man, I’m happy for the site to just grow and change organically. I deal with enough paperwork and faff at work, I don’t want more of it on my shitposting provider too.
If Lodion needs cash I send cash. In fact I think I already changed it to a monthly donation to make things more consistent. Otherwise whatever happens, happens.
- Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows? 2 months ago:
If she only uses the browser and texting, whats to learn that’s different?
I actually push my family members to buy Apple products because then I dont have to provide tech support but tbh if their usage is just tapping on like 3 different icons, there’s really no difference between the two from a UI point of view. And a mid-range Android phone that allows you to tape those 3 icons is probably 1/5th the cost of an iPhone.

- Comment on Labor looks likely to win 2025 Election 2 months ago:
For the first time ever I reckon I’ll just donkey vote.
I will never understand this attitude.
We have preferential voting, every (legitimate) vote has an impact.
Donkey voting is a lazy way of pretending that none of what happens is “your” fault, cause you didn’t vote for “them”.
- Comment on I couldn't eat another thing 3 months ago:
It has become our Christmas tradition to watch this video after Christmas lunch is over and we’re all laying around on the couches struggling to breathe through the over indulgence of ham and fruit mince pies.
It always hits just right when you’re in that state.

I dont know who that is. I’m sure they were a big deal though.
Glad to hear they aren’t dead I guess, which was my initial expectation based on the headline.

Oh good, another bit of “for profit” leadership. This bodes well for the future of the ABC.

- Comment on Users from Other Instances 3 months ago:
I, for one, support more activity and more viewpoints being presented.
Getting pretty sick of every social media platform turning in to an echo chamber as people (or algorithms) filter out everything they don’t agree with.

- Comment on NSW Police face fresh calls to be banned from Mardi Gras 3 months ago:
Because some of those organising it where the ones that had the crap beaten out of them by police not so long ago.
Right, and in all likelihood so were the current police who are now wanting to join the march.
- Comment on NSW Police face fresh calls to be banned from Mardi Gras 3 months ago:
I’m not part of either community so grim the view of an outsider…
Why wouldn’t “you” (the people organising and participating in the march) not want police as part of it?
The Venn diagram of homophobic police and homosexual police are surely two distinct circles - why wouldn’t you want the circle that’s part of your team to be included? Are they not deserving of the same support the march is encouraging?

That has a non zero chance of having either urine or semen on it, possibly both.

- Comment on Albanese moves to capitalise on Trump's plan to slash green energy investment 4 months ago:
God it would be good to be doing something positive and proactive for once.
I’m sick of always having the option between Option A: “world leading, best practice, transformative, long term project” and Option B: “regressive, poorly planned, guaranteed to result in private profits for a few but public debt for many” and we always end up with B. So, so many B options. Always the B.
- Comment on Alternate Web UI for aussie.zone 4 months ago:
I just came here to say it wasn’t working, but looks like it got switched off a few days back.
I really like the old.reddit layout, so I’d be a huge fan if it was able to be used here too. No biggie if it cant, standard Lamington is pretty uncluttered anyway. Just not very compact. Whats with web devs and whitespace? I’m here to see content, not empty pixels.
- Comment on Labor backs 16 as the minimum age to use social media ahead of national cabinet meeting - ABC News 4 months ago:
I swear Labor’s policy making is to find the stupidest idea possible and then enact it.
