    That’s not how our parliament works. The amount of people calling for an end to the speaker’s independence is concerning.

    The speaker’s job is to uphold decorum of parliament. This one spectacularly failed to do that, and resigned as he should. That doesn’t mean we should make it a partisan position.


  • I’ve never used TweetDeck but there is the Control Panel for Twitter, which makes it usable. It can auto-block all the bluechecks with under a million followers, hide the “For You” tab, block ads, and restore the old Twitter branding.

    Unfortunately the main reason I use Twitter is not the platform itself, but the public figures that are on it. Mastodon (mostly) doesn’t have that, though there is a trickle of some coming over.





  • I agree with you that informed risks can be reasonable, I don’t leave the house with a helmet. I just don’t think it was clear enough from your original post that doing that is risky.

    I’m a food service manager, and I have to train people all the time that “looks fine” does not mean “is fine”. There’s food I 100% would never serve at work but would eat myself. I feel like the distinction between what’s foodsafe and what you personally feel comfortable with needs to be stressed.

    This is just not true. From a food safety perspective, if there’s mould and it’s a soft food, it’s contaminated. You can absolutely get sick from foods without visible signs of spoilage (not to mention there is a visible sign, mould, but we’re ignoring that.)

    That said, I will sometimes take the risk by cutting off the mould. I would never serve it to someone else without letting them know the risks. If you do this you need to understand it’s a gamble.



  • The Air Force will never use the term UFO anymore, because that term has become synonymous with aliens in popular culture. This is why they use UAP. The definition has shifted in the past 50 years.

    Its not so much a mass media problem when there’s nutjobs testifying under oath that the government has alien corpses. At that point they’re just reporting on it.





  • I don’t care of they’re cool with it, I’ll use my computer how I want to. Google makes hundreds of billions in annual revenue, it’s hard to feel bad for them. Calling that theft is a massive stretch, they are not losing anything except for potential profit, you could argue bandwidth but that is so intangible compared to any kind of physical theft.

    Keep in mind with adblocking we’re dealing with fractions of a penny per video and Google is still making money off me regardless. I directly support creators I like, sending them $10 is an order of magnitude more money than they would get over a lifetime of me watching ads.
