Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

I got very close to the end, on the tower, but was stuck on one of the last puzzles. It was a great game though

Our local racist politician here in Australia didn't complete high school

She's stated education is woke...

Yes Definitely Tax gas..

But, the rest of this sounds like crap

I've never been to a public hospital that wasn't free. I went to the GP twice in the past 2 weeks.. Free. When I was hit by a car.. FREE. Even Flying doctors from my understanding are free, and we now have urgent care clinics too to free up hospital resources (and, pharmacists can do vaccinations, to further free up resources).

We have cheap drugs, and its so cheap, that Trump was trying to strong-arm Australia into raising their prices. And, a lot of free vaccinations

Public schools are also free (although, I went Private)

We have one of the best health care systems on the planet, and its actually admired by a lot of countries (just like our gun laws). Dental is the only thing not free

The whole "we've had enough" tagline sounds like something Pauline or Nationals would scream honestly (and, I suspect most Aussies have had enough of them). We're actually doing better than those guys want people to believe.

But, yes, other than that, I want Gas to be taxed, and then use the money for electrification for full long term energy independence thats clean.

It's one seat.

They completely lost SA. The only thing that has changed in 30 years is that Pauline has started pretending she's a successful politician

We have preferential voting and most people will still put her close to last

Most of us hate Trump and Gina. Just because its hair is orange instead of its face doesn't mean we'll be fooled

ON supporters just tend to be vocal idiots

A good thought experiment is the covid vaccine. Based on social media, you'd think we were all worried about it. However, if you then click on their profile, it's almost always a car, truck, guns or horse.. And those seem to be the communities causing 99% of the noise. Even if we assume some people lied about the vaccine, it's still likely 9/10 people with it

It's a religion. Why would they be closing their doors at all?

There are going to be a lot of people who go quiet in a few months when the rental market doesn't suddenly destroy itself, and they realise they can't simply double rent 😂

Thank god.

We don't need monuments to convicted criminals and suspected pedophiles here.

No doubt there will be a follow-up by Trump saying our property market is f**ked or something

Or something they know they they can't respond to adequately. Which, is almost everything

This guy is definitely in the Epstein files.. probably a supplier..

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you'd think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don't work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

This is particularly an issue here in Australia.

Our most vocal racist community is our Truckie community. They blame everyone for everything except themselves. They even argue that normal drivers shouldn't pull over for sleep and that it's killing Truckies (less spots for them to stop). It's always about them..

And they always love to emphasise how important and irresplacable they are, despite the fact it's one of Australia's lowest skilled jobs.

When fuel prices went up, many of them were demanding they strike and block all the roads because many signed bad/risky contracts they didn't want to blame themselves for

Not all of them, but the problem is so bad a newspaper even recently published how toxic they were
