I mean of course they would say that, but it’s pretty obvious the financial situation in the US is deteriorating.

This is happening here in Australia too.

All public facilities.

It always seems to be about kids and sex?

Like one of these idiots found a book that had a diagram of a dick and borrowed it with a child’s library card and somehow that was a major incident?

Also somehow providing several “family” change rooms at the swimming pool instead of just male and female is somehow enabling pedophiles?

Actually this is really common.

In areas with unreliable power, powdered milk is much more common. People often do mix it super thick and spread it on bread.

Obviously not a balanced diet but you could do a lot worse for a cheap meal.

Quite right.

Almost certainly misleading, but the underlying truth is that shits fucked

Certainly not always.

I think what that teacher was really getting at is things like electrical standards, phone networks, things like that.

I think most western countries could say that about each other.

Yes, there are shitty landlords in Australia. However, I’ve never encountered mould or a landlord that wouldn’t make appropriate repairs.

I’m sure there are shitty landlords in Canada, and every other country.

Some 35 years ago my 3rd grade teacher explained to us little Aussie battlers… That through history we have usually had a chance to observe what hasn’t worked in the US and improve our own implementation.

Compared to… Kids that read books? Sure ok, thatseems obvious.

I can imagine a future in which these become more common in the US than ridiculous US trucks.

Ah yes, the hallmark of sophisticated management: everyone has to express an appropriate level of support for all decisions, especially bad ones.

Americananas

Millennials when gen y avoid social media

Rimu.

There was a shit storm recently where they had a big rant about contributors on piefed.social somewhere, and were deleting responses from those contributors trying to express their side of the story.

Pretty ugly really.

The quokk.au admins have forked the piefed repo, and pushed some features, so that might be a nice alternative in the future.

You’re on a piefed instance, so theres some other guy, but he’s also… controversial.

The answer is: gen AI slop.

However, the obsession with bi-pedal robots is creepy and weird.

I watched someone on YouTube talking about it but can’t remember the channel.

Basically, there is no single task for which bipedal is the best format, it’s only suitable for the range of tasks humans can perform. However, we just don’t have the tech to make that format viable. As in, they can’t do the dishes or clean the bathroom or take out the trash.

Demonstrations of bots doing those things are in tightly controlled environments with loads of programmed parameters.

Its appealing because everyone wants a humanoid to order around, but that’s about it.

I don’t mind at all if people think I’m old, I kind of am.

Thing is, fancy new containerised packages have really changed the dynamic here.

I don’t care if gnome is 5 years old. Everything I actually use is up to date.

Yeah team bar-soap here.

It’s just soap and when you use it you feel soapy and then you rinse it off and you feel like you’ve used soap.

Anything in a bottle is some concoction of bullshit woo-woo like honey and pomegranate or hibiscus petals and seal fur. As in, it’s more marketing than soap.

I have et said anything like that, and it’s painfully obvious that you’re deflecting.

Given your criticism of Wong, I had thought that surely you would have some preferred strategy.

Instead it seems like you don’t really have e any idea what you’re talking about, other than “labor bad”

That’s not what I suggested, nor what I asked.

How would you like our foreign affairs minister to address this with a global super power on whom we are heavily dependent as one of our closest allies ?
