The American “centre” seems brain-dead to me as a foreigner (well the left is already not very left) because how the fuck can they consider calling these people fascists hysterical, when they clearly are fascists?

They have so many nukes, and we’re their vassals (Australia).

Gods help us all.

I don’t really care which, but if I’m not mistaken it’s the majority of the world population in this case not just the US.

I just hurts my soul that it’s inconsistent.

By population decimal point wins?

I don’t really care which, but my heart craves standardisation*

(*where it makes sense. I don’t think language based differences in how many digits between separators needs to be world-wide. Eg. In East Asia you separate in groups of 4 digits, not 3 because of language)

PHASE CHANGE IS LIFE

lol serves its own grammatical function now I reckon.

It’s a marker for response to irony (actual irony, Americans…), or as a way to indicate you think something is stupid to the point of humour, or as a kind of “that tracks”.

Or at least, that’s how it’s used amongst people my age in Australia.

I don’t think I use it in a positive sense at all any more

This is a great propaganda* image. Yoink ⚒️

* word used in the neural sense

The general strike in Minneapolis shows what the working class can achieve.

From the provinces (Australia), I suggest you join whatever local movements exist.

I’m wishing you great success, because I worry what will be in store for us if the US falls even further into racism.

Stay strong friend

They won’t because we are expected to toe the imperial line. We are a vassal state of the US.

It’s batshit that DFAT haven’t issue a travel warning, I agree. There’s warnings for China (reasonable), but damn, I feel no worry about travelling to China, just don’t do anything political.

I’d never in a million years consider travelling to the US.

Props to the camera person for showing the message.

Every small resistance counts ✊

As a one of her foreign subjects. May I say god save the Queen, because nothing will save the Governor General.

Fuck the queen, fuck the monarchy.

I used to work in cafe, and love to go to cafes now still (like actual cafes - I say with pride and joking snobbery, coming from a country where starbucks isn’t really considered a cafe) and I honestly still have no idea why people go to cafes in the first place, if they’re only there for the coffee.

Instant coffee tastes okay (with milk) and is a whole lot faster and cheaper than a getting a coffee from a cafe.

Cafes sell customer service, a nice ritual, and a nice place to hang out, with nice beverages included. In my opinion.

Sounds illegal

Source? If someone said this, that’s basically an admission of guilt.

Some. Many, if not most, are just flawed human beings.

I don’t enjoy this “everyone sucks” mentality you see online a lot.

Using an LLM for anything other than language, weird software questions, and really terrible low-stakes coding just seems like a stupid idea to me.

It can save time in certain contexts, but pretty much only in writing you some headings for a report or something. Using it for NUMBERS is insane.

Oh yeah, no issue with how you’ve used it. I’m just publically grumbling about the term’s existence haha

employee-owned

is such a euphemism, in my opinion. Law firms are often “employee-owned”.

It has internal shareholders, they’re not a co-op, and should be viewed like any other for profit business.

Is the Sabbath Sunday? I thought it was Saturday. But regardless, some countries start the week on Sunday.

It’s cursed as heck when we call Saturday and Sunday the weekend.

2015 can be written as Y-2.015E3S4

When would this ever be required, wtf hahaha

I routinely do this in emails and documents. No one has ever questioned me on it because they’re used to it from folder/file names.

Please do join me in slowly changing the world over to year, month, day order.

(Though I prefer the non-standard dots instead of hyphens, as they are non-line-breaking, and allows for hyphens to be used as separators for other parts in a file along with underscores)

YYYY.MM.DD is my fave
