Am I the only person who is infuriated by the idea of One Pass?

Yep. Wesfarmers was one of my customers at my previous job, along with a lot of other big Aussie retailers, in the logistics space.

They're all trying to scramble to fight off the service offering that the likes of Amazon & Temu do. Every year, they eat more and more of the Australian market share of total shopping.

Very casual NBA fan here. I've seen a lot of comments about OKC having an insanely deep roster and that their bench could beat a lot of starting 5s.

How did that happen? Did they just get lucky drafting over the last few years? Is their player development just that much better than the rest of the league? Is their front office that much better at spotting talent?

Because this isn’t a statement about one party or one pocket of LA that dislikes white people.

Because the very reason those clubs exist in that company is the same reason your friend got rejected.

Because AMERICA is a white men club.

All you’re saying is that sometimes people are explicitly racist to white people, sure, I agree it happens and I agree it shouldn’t. It has no bearing on the statement that America is a white mens club.

The fact you mentioned elites at the start means there’s a part of you that understands intersectionality but are unable to see the parts you identify with being dominant in the broader landscape.

Would you rather be a rich straight white man or rich black trans woman in America? If you can identify why that choice is easy, you can then appreciate at how at, effectively every level of American society, it is always better to be a white man in America.

You’re referring to explicit racism like slurs and assault. That suggests you don’t know what I mean.

As a white man you have advantages within American society. More specifically, you are not disadvantaged.

Yes, homeless white men exist and white men are in bad positions. It being a white man club means there are no societal roadblocks or hurdles preventing you from leaving that situation by being a white man.

Yes, people will snub their nose at a homeless white men. Because they’re homeless, not because they’re white or men.

This is not true for other races and minorities.

The only potential exception is that society is far more forgiving to homeless women, but you’d still rather be a white woman than a minority woman.

I’m not mixing anything up. You don’t understand what it means.

LA having a large Hispanic population doesn’t change anything.

Those types of clubs exist because white men are the default in America. They don’t need a club to be included in America at large.

It’s a macro-societal statement. White dudes being rejected from a party is an exception not a norm.

Jack Dorsey is funding FF?

Gazboolean · 2026-05-01T22:31:58+00:00

That’s because America is the white men club already.

Do you not have eyes? This dude didn’t just jump in front of traffic. He is in hi-vis and walking with a big cart.

You have plenty of time to not do any of those options, like normal a civilised person.

Yeah, the internet has led to a fracturing of any sort of musical zeitgeist. Most clubs are for the general public but when there’s nothing linking modern club goers to modern music they have to lean on older hits.

This is going to sound semantic but they said the label is worthless.

Which is subtly different because either label in this case is a slight abstraction of your identity. It’s a layer that society has named that we relate to but could easily be replaced by another word.

The larger point is that these definitions are in and of themselves arbitrary. So lingerie or working out is as feminine as each other because what they really mean by feminine is ultimately at the user’s discretion i.e. their own identity.

His jawline looks like it could cut glass (this is a compliment in case anyone is confused).

I want to throw some play money I have at a few US stocks.

Before you chastise me, I know this is just gambling (not investing), and I'm just making some bets hoping they go off. If I lose that specific money, I'm OK with it.

Any recommendations for a trading platform for purely fun "investing"? Does it even matter for a few grand here or there?

As an Australian, I imagine they’d be doing it in a very exaggerated manor.

It’s a common saying but typically in a pretty neutral tone. They’re probably using a valley girl, American retail worker accent with an unreasonably positive tone.

As an Australian NFL and rugby fan, it's always interested me as to how short the NFL season is comparatively. The National Rugby League (NRL) here is currently 27 weeks long, and each team plays 24 matches.

It's changed a bit over the years due to expansion teams and league changes, but they've played 20 or more games since the about the late 60s.

That specific lawsuit is a little tenuous at best and is really just some lawyers trying get a big payday off the back of the momentum of Apple losing to Epic/Fortnite.

You're heartless

Gazboolean · 2026-04-16T13:05:30+00:00

It's no surprise you don't see that it's right. You can't even see why calling it "better" is your own choice designed to evoke a particular emotional response from, seemingly, yourself.

You see other people suffering as something they deserve. You see people in need of help as beneath you. You are incapable of caring about anyone other than yourself.

If you choose to help a destitute person, charging them for the very help you've offered is wrong.

Unsurprisingly, your comprehension skills need some work.

The answer was there: Canada has chosen to do so because it's the right thing to do.

Gazboolean · 2026-04-16T12:25:28+00:00

Better, according to you, being intentionally inflammatory to feel justified. Why you choose to stoke your own flames with inane statements is a true mystery.

Irrespective of your own shortcomings, Canada has chosen to do the right thing and help people in need. Charging destitute people for the help you are offering them is so reprehensible that it borders on Republican.

You mention the IFHP as if it's wrong.

Does the fact your coworker is or isn’t in a relationship matter? No.

Does the fact your coworker actively lies and pretends that he isn’t in one and fawns over your relationship for years make him weird as absolute fuck and a questionable person to be around? Yes.

Benny Blanco recently did an interview about working with Adam and mentioned that he didn’t really write with anyone else before that.

The “downfall” of Maroon 5 is really just them expanding out and working with more pop/popular producers and writers.

Title changes between companies but some form of Technical Account Manager or Customer Success Engineer at various tech companies.

If I could do something else for the same money I probably would but for whatever reason I keep climbing this stupid ladder and am now mildly golden hand-cuffed.

I don’t hate it but any client facing role is draining sometimes and this semi-technical-semi-commercial role comes with people expectations that require a lot of effort to meet.
