I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.
Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.
This is a very lengthy examination of the primaries. It doesn’t really conclude anything except that the process in 2016 wasn’t as transparent as it usually was and it might be reasonable to think it might have been rigged.

I thought of it as a great band name…
I just came back to this thread. What did I start?! :)
I can’t believe I actually read the full transcript, but the interactions between Hunter and Matt Gaetz are hilarious
21 Mr. Lowell. Will the record show that we’re all laughing?
22 The Witness. I mean, are you kidding me? No. I don’t – again –
23 Mr. Gaetz. So do you –
24 The Witness. I’m sorry, Mr. Gaetz, I’ll take you seriously. And it’s hard to do –
It’s because he’s wearing a double-breasted suit. Not really in fashion anymore.
(Useless fact for you :))
A bunch of friends and I have been playing Sniper Elite 5. It’s a mixed bag of varied experience. Some are terrible but just enjoy the shit talking (I’m one of those) and others just kick the crap out of the rest of us. But it’s a fun bonding experience too since you can have up to 4 teams against each other and just need to make sure there’s a fairly even balance.
Australia. We seem to be doing OK-ish vs. Right Wingers, but we still have our own issues…
But I was told it was all Antifa and not Trump loyalists and no matter all the evidence to say otherwise I won’t change my mind because (deep state|tribalism|lack of critical thinking)!
Thing is Ukraine doesn’t have a defense pact with the US. The US is doing this out of (insert any number of reasons ranging from stability in the region, strengthening ties, propping up military manufacturers etc).
The Philippines have had a defense pact with the US since 1951 and basically means if things can’t be resolved diplomatically the US will commit not just arms but fighting forces to the joint defense of the nation.
To quote Wikipedia - ‘In a 2022 meeting, US Vice-President Kamala Harris reportedly assured Philippine president Bongbong Marcos that “an armed attack on the Philippines armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft in the South China Sea would invoke US Mutual Defense commitments.”’
I’ve spent a lot of time in the US. I’m 6’5", shaved head, big beard, tattooed… The number of neo-nazis who thought I was ‘one of them’ was horrible.
I’m SUPER left (in Australia I’m closest to The Greens). But skin heads thought I was a white supremacist nazi because I looked like them… I had to (politely) tell them to fuck right off.
Edit: One night in a bar in Fargo, ND (of all places) after some skin heads tried to complain to me about ‘the black man’ and I moved them along, a bunch of black guys came over to me and I won’t lie I was worried they thought I was a skin head. The conversation was “You’re one big motherfucker. How’re you doing?” and realised I was an Aussie and we just got hammered. It was fucking awesome.
I present Dual_EC_DRBG as a great example of “you can’t trust shit”
But also CPUs and motherboards may be compromised too. Whether it’s by China or the US… It’s a plausible thing. Intel IME and AMD Secure Processor amongst others…
Hahaha, I remember OctaMed. My older brothers had A500s then A1200s. I had a CD32 for a while too until realised it was a dead platform (although Liberation kicked arse).
I know that feeling lol, I had ‘friends’ who were only friends because they got games from Singapore and the UK and I’d just want to pirate them but we weren’t actually friends.
I remember that too. So many memories… Curious as to whether you were an Amiga person too? I’ve found Commodore wasn’t very well known at all in the US but the UK, Australia and most of Europe it was super popular.
For quite literally years I couldn’t remember the name of that game so thank you! I use VICE these days as an emulator and one of my friends had that game but literally couldn’t remember the name.
As someone who grew up with a Commodore 64 I present Bruce Lee
(oddly I can’t upload gifs so apologies for the link)
Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that’s regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.
In one case I found out they lied to me about why we broke up and the second she became a horrible, vindictive person after we broke up and started spreading lies and rumours about 6 month after we split. Originally both breakups were quite amicable and soured and they didn’t understand that that had quite a lot to do with my decision to 100% no contact.
I don’t think I’m 100% against it now that I think about it further. I just seem to have a history of dating people with an underlying hurtful streak and/or poor empathy…
Yep I second this. I have gone NC with all my exes. Two wanted continued contact but that’s just not me and sometimes people ask me what they’re up to and I can happily respond I have NFI.
The past is the past.
