Taleya ,

How the fuck they haven't been slapped with an anticompetitive is beyon - oohh right. End stage capitalism

Taleya ,

Mentally mark it as shitpost and it's all G

Taleya ,

We all think we're in the worst timeline, but have you considered we're in the funniest? From an outside perspective

Taleya ,

Good thing openWRT works on those

Taleya ,

Which will result in federal agencies going straight up their arse.

Many countries outside the US have actual consumer protections

Taleya ,

....but why

Taleya ,

But you've also given the mucus a pathway straight down your own throat

Taleya ,

People are still bleating about that interview like it was death of all. Talk about writing the enemy's propaganda for them...

Taleya ,

I mean the fact that people seem to think that a growing global movement on workers rights was derailed by one debacle of a fox news interview of a reddit mod is...not a good look overall. I legit got attacked on lemmy a couple of days ago for pointing out hey notice how a right wing fuckhead getting pwned doesn't destroy their reputation? Ya wanna think about that and why you're doing their propaganda for them?

it really felt like a purity politics moment. Bug fuck insane when you're talking about change.

Taleya ,

'filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right'

Taleya ,

Yeah that's what happens when you throw your engineers out for business majors at a tech company

Taleya ,

My personal faves are the claims that the cybermen are ripping off the borg and that Pratchett's Unseen University is a hogwarts copy.

Taleya ,

Why? An interview with any right wing idiot doesn't dent their movement

Taleya ,

No, a jackass appeared on fox.

You gotta stop doing the propaganda for them, dude.

Taleya ,

Actually given the mass of 'how to push back against bad bosses' 'workers rights explained' 'go fuck yourself employers' et al across the net i'd say otherwise.

Genz is notoriously not putting up with bullshit.

Taleya ,

Behave

Taleya ,

You're kinda right, but wording it in the worst way possible

Taleya ,

Yeah nah mate. You have the right to not vote. But if you choose to exercise this right you don't get to whinge about the person elected by those who did vote.

Society is not composed of you and you alone. It is composed of many. You took yourself outta this decision but it's still being made freely by everyone else and no, it doesn't impinge on you to accept the democratic consensus of the many

Taleya ,

Try coding a static route?

Taleya ,

Not quite. Static route is coded on both ends. Tells your machines 'if you want to talk to network B use this ip / route and no other.' And then on the other end tell the machine 'you want to talk to network A via this ip/route and no other.'

You can jigger with the subnets obvs, to cover an entire network range or just a specific ip / machine

Taleya ,

Term of your natural life has so much wiggle room

Taleya ,

Do you bring these issues up of your own accord? Or do you wait until a woman speaks of her concerns then use it as an opportunity to unload?

Taleya ,

Application of increased flame hastens the bacterial destruction

Taleya ,

Tbf they didn't say shit about the disabled or parents

So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.

For those who wonder why Aussies think toll roads are a scam (https://aus.social/@LesserAbe@lemmy.world/112405373613706682), here's a great example of why.

"Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.

...

"The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.

"Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.

"The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."

@fuck_cars

Taleya ,

We're literally building a MASSIVE expansion to our rail system right now

Taleya ,

Stimulants are also the reason WWII was so insane. A lot of it (and postwar actions) are thrown in a very different light once you realise everyone was on meth

Taleya ,

Masses of tests culminating in 9 months of chemo on magrath, multiple meds and hospital stays from complications including two stints in ICU, CAT scans, blood tests, etc etc. $0 AUD at one of the best cancer care hospitals in the world.

Oh and i also received federal disability payments because i couldn't work.

Taleya ,

Syntactically they should have used 'displays' not 'is' a green or red flag, but everyone divined the meaning of the damned sentence and the internet is garbage so who gives a rats

Taleya ,

Won't help, those fuckers go 30 mph. Usain bolt only managed 23 dot something for comparison

Taleya ,

And also possibly eat you.

Look canonically the worst a bear will ever do is two out of three, only men have hit the hat trick

Taleya ,

And that's why we pick the bear.

You know what a bear's gonna do. You never know if a man is gonna turn into an abusive cunt.

Taleya ,

Don't make eye contact, don't attract attention, get the almighty fuck out.

Taleya ,

stop, I can only get so bearect

Taleya ,

I know plenty of gay/ax men who appreciate boobs from an aesthetic or comfort perspective. Hell, my cat loves my boobs and i'm damned sure she's not into me. I've had pet rats happily nestle down in my cleavage. For all the wild sexualisation of them there's a lot of non-sexual boob appreciation

Taleya ,

As opposed to FUCKING BEARS. No one ever brings up the fact that america gets BEARS. IN THEIR GARBAGE BINS. As opposed to 90% of our shit we don't encounter unless we go out of our way

Taleya ,

The sea hungers

Taleya ,

Pattern recognition. You'll find most aussis are pretty good at spotting our local menaces

Taleya ,

You know what's the biggest fucking animal i see unexpectedly staring at my window in an urban area? Toss up between a brushtail or a cat.

Taleya ,

...you have very very fundamental misunderstandings about how spiders and snakes work.

They don't stalk people, they don't deliberately seek out human habitats - quite the opposite in fact - and you pretty much have to provoke them into attacking.

Around 3,000 snakebites are reported in Australia per year. We have a population of over 26 million. You're more likely to get bitten by a meth head

Taleya ,

No.

Taleya ,

Nope.

Human nature is co-operative and altruistic, there's evidence going back to barely recognisable AS human and it's literally a key reason why we're the dominant species.

Capitalism rewarding sociopaths is the outlier

Taleya ,

off the top of my head there's the ancient remains found multiple times of disabled and/or badly injured hominids who were treated (signs of healing) and lived long into adulthood despite requiring extensive care from others, the fact an extended childhood in our species means that our young are vulnerable for a far longer period than any other animal (a necessity since you can't fit a fully formed adult brain through a human pelvis) and require cooperation with others to raise and continue the species, the fact we have developed specialised skillsets (that are shared between us rather than developing and being held isolate and then lost when the person who holds then dies).

When you have a group that works together go up against one that doesn't, the former comes out on top. When this competition is for resources and survival, it becomes an evolutionary pressure.

If you do a quick googs you should find scores of whitepapers - but the egoistic argument falls flat on its face out of the gate because we have the word 'sociopath' and it's not considered something to emulate. Neither is 'egotistical'. We've literally got coded into our language that isolation, self-absorption and 'self serving at the cost to others' are bad concepts. Being a self absorbed shithead is documented as wrong as far back as our tales can possibly go.

Drop this one on 'em. From a brutal dispassionate logical viewpoint there was no reason to keep this man around and alive

But they did it because they were human.

Edit: and if they argue it's an outlier, hit them with shanidar1, burial9, the starchild....

This article also points out co-operation examples that exist so fundamentally you may not even be aware of them.

Taleya ,

Look at commercial models for a completely dumb tv. You can also consider a monitor with a remote. Hisense don't have to have internet to function. Some droid tvs do.

I just grabbed another dumb tv from the local freecycle group.
