As a Xennial, I still don’t get it because, I guess, I embraced being the weirdo at school and hung out with the weirdos. I was bullied for wearing secondhand uniforms, not wearing doc martens, not having the backpack that everyone has, never having a bf, not talking l33t etc, etc…

I say, take that fall. Embrace destruction and delete the apps. Be the weird analogue kid.

But then again, maybe Australian kids weren’t massive arseholes.

Here we go. This is how they’re going to further oppress the opposition and keep the regime in power. Anything to keep Trump from paying for his crimes.

It might just be my Australian English.

Because you can’t force them to do what you want without them telling the authorities and ruining your reign of debauchery.

When he gets snapped out of his cult induced mind, he’s in for a hell of a time realising that he killed his own daughter in the name of a pedophile rapist.

I see double redactions in that document. Pretty sus right there.

I’m inclined to believe that it’s because you can simply bribe him to change his mind. He’s a convenient idiot puppet with power and you can tug on any string to get him to do things you want him to. It’s probably why TACO. There’s probably a bribery match going on in the background.

It he was a zealot of his beliefs, rigid in his thinking, I believe he would be put down. But he’s so malleable, so it’s more useful to people that have the option to assassinate to bribe instead.

Well, you pretty much continue until you get what your want. So the most effective thing to do is to strike indefinitely.

Do you have any footage of that confrontation from your perspective by any chance? Would be interesting to see.

And I’m Captain Planet.

The redacted text can actually be selected and copied, then pasted to read what is underneath. They literally used a black digital highlighter.

Around 30 years ago in Port Arthur. I think 40 people were killed that day. It triggered our national strict gun laws, although they’re continually being watered down since we’ve been experiencing more gun violence in the last decade.

Mumble and Pigdin won’t be banned right? Also, swapping mobile numbers and getting on conference calls… Writing letters and all that. There’s still other ways to communicate.

I’m almost thinking of making a quick phone app to give them options and ideas on how to communicate outside of the big tech bubble.

I wonder if making your own personal website on Neocities/Geocities will come back in vogue again.

I wonder if Roblox squeezed through the cracks.

I’m torn.

I love the googly eyes. Everything is better with googly eyes but I do know the pain of going through the council process to get stuff like this installed to make the area more interesting and engaging local artists.

I suppose getting the teen’s family to cough up the repair money is fair. I hope they got lots of photos of it with the eyes before it was taken down.

Agreed on all counts aside from 2.

The original had class and functionality, complete with datum lines and concealed lighting. It was aged, for sure, but the design comes together and looks comfortable.

The new one is literally just slabs of maybe real marble but i doubt it. There’s no demarcation between floor and ceiling. It’s as if someone just used the paint bucket tool and clicked fill. The lighting is atrocious; if you’re in the bath you cop an eyeful of a glare bomb.

I’d take the original any day. Would have probably just added sheer curtains to the windows.

Money buys power and influence and politicians react more to that than their own constituents. When money can bend reality and get people to vote against their own interests just to keep the status quo, there’ll be no change.

I mean, for all the things we do right we get stuff like the Bezos wedding where everyone arrives via private jet or COP25 where everyone also arrives by private jet to discuss the climate.

We have Greta Thunberg who addressed the world leaders and voiced our discontent at their lack of action. Her views are not unique and are a reflection of many but yet, despite laying the truth bare and shaming leaders for their inaction, power and influence labels her as whatever they want to discredit her words and influence.

So, if we want to reverse things and change, we need to target the rich and tax them, shame them, eat them… Whatever it takes and only then will we be able to do something net positive. Doing ‘our part’ is not enough when the top 1% literally offsets all of our efforts everyday.

I couldn’t stomach the entire article. These people are sick.

I don’t know. Considering that these guys feel through the cracks and failed to meet the expected height, weight and fitness and were deployed, I do question the quality assurance process and the competence at the top level.

Let’s say they do the “brave” thing by naming themselves. They’re thrown out with their middle fingers up, and replaced by an inexperienced sycophant.

That sycophant is now in charge for hundreds if not thousands of other individuals and their lives.

It’s simply not worth their pride to risk the lives of these people under their command.

I think withholding their identities is a smart, if not expected, move.
