No you don’t understand. It’s a totally innocent comment. They were talking about getting an extension to their lounge room. You know, to display all their Nazi memorabilia.
- Comment on Live: PM confirms three Australians on board US submarine that sank Iranian frigate 18 hours ago:
In case your question isn’t rhetorical I found this Anthony Albanese confirms Australian navy personnel on US submarine that sank Iranian vessel:
Dozens of Australian personnel have been rotating through placements on US fast-attack submarines based out of Pearl Harbour in preparation for Australia acquiring its own nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS agreement.
I think it’s also related to Force Posture.

You’re the Voice was the ‘official’ theme song for the S11 blockade of the World Economic Forum at Crown Casino in 2000, so this would be fitting.

The link seems to be for one of the items (or pages) of the live blog, not the live blog itself, so anyone that opens it doesn’t see the latest updates. I’m not sure if this link will always be the most recent items.

TPG. It started working again after stop-start of Lemmy. Temp glitch.

Failed to load media. Just me? All good, I saw it when it was posted elsewhere.
- Comment on Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’ 1 week ago:
I didn’t know about it either but the writing suggested that that was the reason so I went looking for an answer and appeared to have found it.
- Comment on Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’ 1 week ago:
In this case I don’t think so. From Cultural sensitivity
In some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, hearing recordings, seeing images or the names of deceased persons may cause sadness or distress and in some cases, offend against strongly held cultural prohibitions.

Malicious compliance?

Maybe just the Spanish section.
- Comment on 'Sick of the regime': Thousands march in support of change in Iran 2 weeks ago:
The campaign in Adelaide has shifted from Women Life Freedom to openly supporting Trump, Israel, bombing and invading Iran. They have incorporated the more conservative parts of the Iranian community such as the monarchists while excluding everyone else and any other messaging other than basically please invade.
They see the kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela as a sign that Trump can get things done (despite nothing really changing). The argument boils down to ‘We are desperate and want Khamenei dead, we know this isn’t ideal but we can deal with the ramifications after’. It doesn’t help that fears are heightened due to the internet blackout and the media reports of tens of thousands of deaths (which would be extraordinary in such a short time if true).
In Adelaide the organisers have been aggressive to anyone who does not support bombing, invasion etc. So the campaign will be able to bring out thousands of Iranians (there are 5000 apparently) but nobody else.

If you search my comment history for bpc-clone there should be instructions for installing it so you can read paywalled sites. It’s very useful for education and journalism.

- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 3 weeks ago:
Most of the time I can make eye contact with drivers, I see the hand wave or whatever and everything works out. But for the small number of times I can’t then I’m not going to step out in front of a machine that can seriously injure me from a stand still or worse.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 3 weeks ago:
Nope. Even when a car stops at a pedestrian crossing that doesn’t have pedestrian lights or a zebra crossing (like a roundabout for example), if I cannot see the driver through the windshield and make eye contact then I will wave them through and try to signal that I cannot see them and sometimes will even mouth out, say or even shout ‘I cannot see you’. Even when I know they are sitting there waving me on, if I cannot see them I won’t budge.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 3 weeks ago:
I’m the opposite. I wait for a full stop. Even when the light goes green for pedestrians I wait and check the cars have stopped on both sides. I’m always amazed how confident people are that a tonne or two of flying metal they haven’t checked to make sure isn’t there wont flatten them. Light a red light means anything to physics.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know what it’s like now but when I lived it Melbourne I witnessed several hair raising moments when drivers blew past passengers getting off.
I also do not recall anyone ever being encouraged to step out on to the road to get cars to stop! That’s lunacy if true. Unless I misheard.
It never occurred to me that maybe many of the near misses were by out-of-towners. I think that’s unlikely. Who knows.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 3 weeks ago:
I thought about editing it because it sounds super snarky towards @Mantzy81@aussie.zone which wasn’t my intent. I was trying to say we should treat the ALP as the opposition and never let anyone to the right of Labor close to power ever again.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 3 weeks ago:
Angus should lean into this and use it for the election campaign if he makes it to the next election. There’s no escaping it.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 3 weeks ago:
The ALP is the opposition. It doesn’t make a lick of difference that they have been elected to government.
- Comment on What's the charge? Protesting a genocidal inciter? This is Democracy manifest. 3 weeks ago:
You made me do homework. Apparently ‘or’ is the newer American English version. So we should be using ‘er’ like the prim and proper loyal subjects of the British Empire that we are.
- Comment on What's the charge? Protesting a genocidal inciter? This is Democracy manifest. 3 weeks ago:
Yes. This meme is 100% analogous to the events that occurred on Monday. So they were right to arrest protestors. /s
p.s. I am not sure I have used the word analogous correctly, or used the correct word. It is late, I am tired.and too lazy to look into it.
