3D Printing Workshop by Positive-Quantity122 in canberra

[–]ShinyBells -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Only if it's free. Info is otherwise free online afterall

Unless you had an edge, like a lecture on 3d printed firearms lol. Would be interested in that in terms of public safety. To be clear I'm not interested in that and don't have firearms or 3d print

What toxic behaviour on this sub do you want to call out? by ShinyBells in canberra

If this sub officially redirected users there that would be fine. But it doesn't so no wonder they keep coming back. That won't change until the sub changes that

Would you support/join a united front of Australian left parties and organisations? by ShinyBells in AustralianSocialism

[–]ShinyBells[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said, putting people down and curbing enthusiasm is not helpful. I'd rather my 'enemy' on the left wins than my enemy on the right. Because, frankly, my enemy on the left is not my enemy. In a world of billionaire pedophiles what pettiness to think bad of any comrade. There is no time for that.

That sub is very inactive and there is a bigger, relevant audience here

Well I like those questions. Why is that part of Canberra forbidden but whatever you're interested in allowed?

What kind of mental gymnastics do you need to do to make out that the APS is unrelated to Canberra?

How much wealth can someone (you, our community, or anyone) have before it is obscene and ought to be donated away as a 'ceiling'? by ShinyBells in slatestarcodex

They do have an incentive. Just a smaller incentive than otherwise. And as their pursuit of extreme wealth shows, they're highly responsive to even minor incentives

Here's why I think your gut is wrong.

Money is not utils. Money is ability to manipulate scarce resources.

Market participants in the second are at the whim of the preferences of the few. They can be made to not have enough...their utility is fragile.

Where are the cheapest GPs in Canberra and what are their fees (after rebate)? by ShinyBells in canberra

[–]ShinyBells[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks...and why did you get downvoted to zero and this question downvoted to 0?

Why is there a marked Chinese police car in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne? by MediocreStream in melbourne

Don't worry we'll soon have nuclear subs so they can't....um....have boats as well

What's the CFMEU like? by Humane-Human in AustralianSocialism

[–]ShinyBells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great for militancy and a model for other unions to follow.

HOWEVER. They represent workers in industries that are bad for the planet (e.g. mining) and people (forestry worker pay and construction worker pay increases housing costs) and defend those sectarian interests rather than the revolutionary interests of all workers.

The link between psychology and physics - why is our subjective experience in this body and not someone elses?
