BTW, this is what an Aussie bush doof looks like. Music courtesy of Russian psychedelic boffins Kindzadza and Psykovsky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCrIPWFXEbU

Went to an Aussie bush doof as a teenager and had some Americans come smoke bongs with me at my camp site. They were dressed up as ninja turtles. After a while I realised one of them had his plums hanging out his shorts and they were painted green. Americans love taking things too far.

If you want to understand this issue at a deeper level, I recommend you watch some of Tom Tanuki's videos on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9-INUscTJg

The judge is too ignorant to recognise that "helping young men" is actually grooming young men who are too lost or wrong headed to realise they are being exploited by a moronic loser.

The problem is that mainstream media has less integrity now than it did 30 years ago. The national broadcaster in Australia for example has been infiltrated by right wing people (BTW I don't want to get rid of ABC, just wish it was better). To cut through the propaganda, people need to acquire the skills to find their own media sources. Unfortunately that also means getting technical ability with computers now. Best thing I can think of is helping less adept people to navigate the space. Otherwise we end up with a much weaker democracy. Listening to C-SPAN callers in 2022-2024 scared the hell out of me and made me think Trump was gonna get voted back in. People stuck in legacy media space are getting brainwashed. I wish it was easier to curate RSS feeds for non-technical friends and family.

Freedom until it's taken from you by those who are wealthier and more powerful.

When you boil it down, being right wing means you value property rights over human rights, and left wing is vice versa. Right wing is maintaining wealth and power, and don't let anyone else get in the way of it.

The biggest hit and run in the history of torrenting.

So that was you with the red coffee mug then. Hi Phil.

Magit for Emacs is an excellent tool for resolving conflicts.

 

Whether you like Guy Rundle's work or not (and yes his article on Britney Higgins in 2023 was in very poor form), I think it's fair to consider his response to the comments that resulted in his sacking from Crikey.
