Let’s say you wanted to debunk a real NSDAP Nazi from 1940s Germany. Would you agree with them that different races are stronger than the others and that the strongest must dominate the latter, pointing the out that Germany will lose the war, therefore the German “race” can’t be superior… or will you not give credit to that whole premise outright?

What the fluff are you talking about?

What I’m saying is that native people’s deserve recognition of their status as the original inhabitants of a land in opposition to settler-colonialism. That’s not using the same argument as Israel because, at least in the case of Australia, white people were never here before. It’s ridiculous to “both sides” that issue.

The 2020 decision to allow a merger between the remaining serious competitors, TPG and Vodafone, was an effective admission that no more than three firms could survive. Unsurprisingly, prices have increased significantly since then.

They have? My current Vodafone plan is the cheapest it’s been, but I guess it’s a a high-tier. Have low-tier ones gone up significantly? Can it be shown that it’s outpacing inflation?

Johnny Depp tried to bring his dog to Australia without going through quarantine & immigration. We rightfully threatened to put it down unless he took his yacht and fluffed off.

So you’re saying that if a culture has been in a land for a long time, that’s okay? That kind of already is what a genealogical history is though?

Indigenous Australians have been on this land for 60,000 years, they have one of the oldest extant cultures on earth. I personally think they get to say “this land is ours”.

This is psychotic, I love it.

Switzerland has more guns per capita.

Kangaroos littering the side of the road (they have about 4 neurones and all of then are suicidal)

To be fair to them, cutting across the path of a predator is pretty effective right up until the predator is a two-tonne death machine.

Walking down the street at night. In the UK and USA it was apparently just not a thing you did. Here I will walk home at 2am no worries, and tonnes of people walk home from the pub drunk enough to not always make it home and sometimes just pass out on the footpath. Never had a problem, never been mugged or similar in that situation, and after living in the UK and visiting the USA I can definitely say I would never do that there.

Still pretty dangerous for women, I’ve gotten plenty of harassment at night. But definitely far safer than the US.

People do talk about politics and religion here, but not with random people and not in public. If someone isn’t interested you are generally going to back off quickly and leave it be. Religion and politics are mostly private and the few people who do talk tend to not be too intense about it. Certainly most don’t become a registered Labor or Liberal party member with the group identity associated. It is much more loosely held and less culturally relevant.

I think it depends. People are still fairly likely to talk about what they think is a “fair go”, and we’ve had some massive political protests lately. But it feels like each party has to meet in the middle a lot more, so stuff isn’t as polarising, and things that are don’t get talked about as openly.

Also in the US they have to register for a party when they register to vote. Feels like they heard about the concept of the secret ballot from us and then just failed completely on the execution.

Bzzt, unless you’re Australian this isn’t true. It’s not universal here, but I’d say around 50% do, moreso if you’re somewhere regional.

Never. Break. Userspace.

I’d be happy to pay for Infuse if the lifetime wasn’t AU$150, and I just outright reject paying a subscription for an app for using something FOSS, even if it’s only AU$20/year. A lifetime license that’s 3-5yrs of a yearly sub is much more reasonable.

To be fair, I think the man has had, and continues to have, a huge amount of adoration from Star Trek fans throughout his life.

Damn, I had no idea he was 94, holy fluff.

Look, I’m not up for this “just asking questions” conversation. I’m clearly not going to convince you that reverse racism isn’t real. If you want to believe in it, or things like misandry, by all means. If you don’t though, you can go educate yourself, rather than asking someone from a minority group to do it for you.

It’s just called racial prejudice. Racism is, indeed, always systemic/institutional.

Hey, hi, trans person here. Calling my mere existence “political” is not “just an opinion”. Rejecting a PR to change “he” to “they” in some code comments is also just a stupid hill to die on. No singular they is basically baby’s first edgy opinion.

I think the person you were replying too was saying that the stuff about a therapist was true, not the stuff about being an asshole.

I think they meant the typical representation of a rainbow, that is also used on the pride flag :P

This isn’t something I’ve ever heard a queer person say, at all, ever.

Linux has actually hit 5-6% marketshare. Your point is still valid though, but they could always just say “It might work on other Linux builds but we can’t support them”.
