That’s what I meant by “use the lab machines”. Basically you can do the work on your own devices if it is Mac or Linux but are expected to ssh or remote desktop into the lab machines if you have windows

They told us we should have a linux or a mac in first year comp sci and if we didn't we should use the lab machines. Probably because they are both unix like operating systems.

If I lived in a land made of pillows, Id want my bed to be made of slate

Another example is William Lynch who beat a Jesuit priest who sexually assaulted him as a child and was found not guilty by the jury despite admitting guilt

The example that comes to mind for me, an Australian, is the Camden 28. They were a group of anti Vietnam war protestors who were acquitted after the jury gave not-guilty verdicts despite clear evidence against them.

An AI tool filed a copyright complaint, itch.io removed the offending content, one of their registrars took itch.io down anyway

I lost my original comment I was typing as my device died so I’ll keep it short. Your aunt extracts money from people on the basis of owning private property (private property is property that is owned by an individual for non-personal use). She doesn’t earn the money through her own labour, she gets it by owning an asset that she herself has no use for and someone else needs and charges that person for using it. This is a parasitic relationship. Now to answer your question about if she is a bad person because of it, I would say not necessarily. The fact that landlords exist is a bad thing. We live in a system however where investment in private property (something inherently parasitic) is often the only way to retire. Every working Australian is required by law to invest a portion of their pay into an investment fund. This too is parasitic. That doesn’t however make every working Australian a bad person, they are just working within the system and doing what is required of them to live. Another thing to keep in mind is that for every house that is owned as an investment property, the price to buy a house goes up. By being a landlord, you make it harder for others to own a home.

"Mainstream trend of all cars bad" which mainstream is that? Because last I checked Australia, Canada, the US and the UK are all still extremely car centric. This also completely ignores the fact that it is car centrism that causes the disregard for pedestrians and people on bikes. Finland and Denmark certainly don't seem to have an abundance of poeple developing bike blindness and they have mixed traffic zones all over the place.

Are you serious? "pasta", "lasagna sheet", "lasagna". Literally anything that isn't a completely different shape. Hell, calling it "lasagna paper" makes more sense than calling it a noodle... Do you yanks have the term "noodle shaped"? If you do how do you grapple with that and calling pasta of completely different shapes "noodles"? Is this a pool noodle in the US? A lasagna sheet is as far as you could possibly get from a noodle when it comes to carbohydrate food items.

"sheet of lasagna noodle" I'm sorry but what did you just call it? I can understand calling spaghetti a noodle, at least it is noodle shaped but lasagna sheets!?

Fuck Labor for stacking the vote and siding with the pigs. No corps, no cops at pride. Labor didn’t even participate in the consultations with cops about the proposal but voted as a block against the interests of queer people and in favour of the cops. Against entryism when it affects them but partake in entryism of queer orgs to protect their pro-corp pro-cop agenda. For those not keeping up: Labor is anti-queer, anti-worker, pro-genocide, pro-corp and climate accelerationist. They are little more than a second Liberal party.
