Very sad news. Live by the blade, die by the blade. I hope some good can come from this and they change their processes/behaviour accordingly.
- Comment on Why aren't vegan? 2 weeks ago:
I am vegan. It’s great! Highly recommend it!
- Comment on Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state 5 weeks ago:
Landlords have to pay for water connection to the property. It works out to around $700 per year.
- Comment on Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state 5 weeks ago:
Some are, some aren’t. I only have anecdotal data so I’m not sure of how prevalent this is at a national level.
- Comment on Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state 5 weeks ago:
Congrats! But the mortgage is just one part of the costs of ownership. Many people spend lots on rates, water, repairs, upgrades, etc.
- Comment on Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van? 5 weeks ago:
I have a friend who lives in a van. Nice guy
- Comment on Victoria sees record fall in rental stock as investors leave the state 5 weeks ago:
Renting is significantly cheaper than owning. If the landlord does their part with maintenance, it’s the better option for many people.

Cowards!
- Comment on As a Palestinian living in the US, I have lost friends, job opportunities – and my faith in humanity | Arwa Mahdawi 1 month ago:
Lost your faith in humanity? Or Americans?
- Comment on Go Annabel. 1 month ago:
In the negative gearing debate, wouldn’t the real scandal be if changing it WASN’T examined?
- Comment on Anon seeks enlightenment 1 month ago:
Dollar coins are just as inconvenient as the rest of them. I guess 50c is the worst with its sharp corners.
- Comment on Mona’s ‘Ladies Lounge’ wins court battle to exclude men from art-filled space 1 month ago:
Yawn. This whole court case is just a publicity stunt for the exhibition and the artist. Don’t give it oxygen.
- Comment on Rip 2 months ago:
I mean, they all died. Just as we will all die.
- Comment on David Pocock creates AI deepfakes of Albanese and Dutton as warning ahead of election 2 months ago:
Did David Pocock actually do that? Or is it a deep fake of him?
- Comment on Bollards installed in Melbourne CBD as tens of thousands anti-war protesters plan blockade 2 months ago:
I don’t know if anti weapons people would also be anti bomb

I am vegan, btw.
- Comment on Slaughterhouse video taken by ‘extreme’ animal activists amounts to ‘ongoing trespass’, federal court told - Vegan Theory Club 2 months ago:
Wow, nothing says “we’re doing nothing wrong” like trying to bury footage of what you’re doing.
If they’re so legit, they should be happy to share the footage.
- Comment on Puberty blockers 'safe, effective and reversible', finds review triggered by Westmead Hospital investigation 2 months ago:
It’s too late for me, unfortunately.
- Comment on Warnings about intersection ignored before cyclist killed 3 months ago:
What a tragedy! I’m glad this is still getting air time, and I hope they take steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again (not just that intersection but across all of Melbourne)
- Comment on Listen to the AI-Generated Ripoff Songs That Got Udio and Suno Sued 4 months ago:
Can you link to a single case where someone has been charged with theft for making money off something they’ve copied?
Or are you using some definition of the word theft that’s different from the legal definition?
- Comment on Listen to the AI-Generated Ripoff Songs That Got Udio and Suno Sued 4 months ago:
That’s not what theft is. I think you mean copyright infringement.
- Comment on Pay Day with demographer Liz Allen: 'Poverty grants perspective that can never be bought' 5 months ago:
She seems to have a lot of negative stories she tells herself about money. Luck definitely plays a part in things, but it’s not everything. I think with her attitude things are unlikely to change for her, unfortunately.
- Comment on The problem with GIMP 5 months ago:
I guess you can’t quantify how much the name has helped it. How many people remember it because of its quirky name. Without knowing both numbers it’s hard to know if it’s a net positive or negative.
- Comment on Australia's minimum and award wages to increase by 3.75 per cent after Fair Work Commission ruling 5 months ago:
That’s a pretty good wage
- Comment on Perth mother and daughter shot dead by friend's ex-partner in double murder-suicide 5 months ago:
Tragic. Has violence against women been increasing or are we just reporting on the trend more?
- Comment on Men Use Fake Livestream Apps With AI Audiences to Hit on Women 6 months ago:
The women who would be impressed by this probably deserve the men who do it.
- Comment on Men Use Fake Livestream Apps With AI Audiences to Hit on Women 6 months ago:
Why do you even need AI for this?
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 6 months ago:
Maybe an ancestor of wifi, but CSIRO invented wifi. www.csiro.au/en/research/…/wireless-lan
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 6 months ago:
They use them but they don’t take them. If I steal your bike, you no longer have a bike. If I copy your bike, you still have your bike.
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 6 months ago:
Copying is not stealing. It’s corporate propaganda conflating the two.
