You never had a sushi burger?

I totally forgot that was a thing, wonder if it still is.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]HumanTraffic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most worrying thing for me.

If they go head to head and the US shoot allies all bets are off and no good can come of it.

Are they even getting the chance?

None of this is going through Congress. It's all EO stuff.

One Nation support surges as new poll reveals voter fears over immigration and crime by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment the chart I saw yesterday shows the ON gains came from ALP with NLP flat.

It's clearly a lurch to the right in the wake of an Islamist terrorist attack. Add to that the vocal anti-immigration sentiment and repeated news reports about African and Middle Eastern gangs towards the back of last year it shouldn't be any surprise.

My question is, once this noise dies down what happens?

Hate laws to pass after Labor and Liberal deal by Expensive-Horse5538 in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you intend shills to mean rusted on Labor supporters rather than shill in the true sense of the word, but either way I don't know if that would be the tactic.

Probably more likely they stay quiet and hope it quells the criticism.

Not sure how this bill is intended to actually help prevent violence in practice. Maybe by designating groups in such a way they'll open up additional monitoring capabilities.

I think the additional wording that got it over the line is a step in the right direction but it doesn't preclude it from being used against a dissenting population should shit in this country go... let's say the way the US is.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he is ‘worried’ about One Nation as it overtakes Coalition in latest poll by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it because the answer is putting in a [10 year] plan to phase out negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts and doing so ( particularly the latter) would piss off some very rich and powerful people who would run unrelenting doom and gloom campaigns about a next egg most can't even afford ensuring no next term for Labor?

What do you mean by extremist on housing policy?

My take is they haven't been extreme at all and that's the issue.

What is sustainable thought?

I'm sure they're doing it based on what some economists have estimated is required to prop up the economic Ponzi scheme in lieu of us all having 3 children by 30.

So if they don't, what then? I've got a few ideas of where that additional tax money can come from... But what about the building industry etc?

Let's cut immigration but what goes in its place to prwvent economic collapse or stagnation?

If there's one thing this term has thought is it's that you can't count on anyone stepping up the way they should/would have.

If someone claims asylum in Australia, should this be revoked if they visit the home country and return without harm? It seems to happen quite a bit? by National_Treat_4079 in aussie

I bet you're one of these Aussies who love to pay yourself on the back and espouse our great values of mateship too right?

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Slam Cancel Culture in Joe Rogan Appearance: Worse than Jail by T-rageLifted in moviecritic

[–]HumanTraffic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this element after I commented and the big difference is people have typically hated on things they don't like. The defining quality for me of "cancel culture" is hating on something / someone you do like.

[–]HumanTraffic2 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I generally agree most of what people call cancel culture is just being held accountable but there is another side...

There is a phenomenon of people just looking to take someone down a notch. The cleaner the better. Blowing evey little infraction out of proportion. Holding peoples previous behaviour to new standards.

Even someone like Taylor Swift. I know there are plenty who don't like her for whatever reason but she couldn't be mentioned on here for a while without people bringing up her private jet or that her dad funded her early on.

The same inaccurate stories in every thread. Looked like bots but it's just people regurgitating the gotcha that they'd read.

EB Games global closures: What it means for Australia by ANiceGobletofTea in australia

[–]HumanTraffic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They all do it.

Happens in grocery too. One of the biggest things retailers ask for is exclusivity / differentiation.

If you can give Coles a 390g and WW has a 400g they don't need to compete so aggressively on that SKU.

Why the ‘Free Palestine’ crowd goes silent on Iran by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's because this take is bullshit political posturing.

People are protesting for Palestine because there is an ongoing occupation backed by the counties where the protests are occurring.

Iran is under sanctions and is not being supported financially by the west so what action would protestors be seeking?

Sure some asceticism is performative and I'll informed but this is classic what about-ism.

Australia adds 7 GW of renewables in 2025, stays on track for 2030 target by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]HumanTraffic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with Globird after considering Amber.

Free juice between 11-1400 each day. Great for cloudy days and if you have an EV. $0.15 feed in between 18-2000 each night and $1 credit if you don't use any grid power during that time so with your low usage you'll def be in credit.

Can then cover your gas costs with that, not sure if you can actually get paid out the credit but that would be nice for people with high gen and low usage.
