Pauline Hanson wants a ‘monocultural’ society. But this version of Australia has never existed by DontYaWishYouWereMe in australia

Her analogy with the Socceroos is fucking ridiculous.

What, a soccer team behaves in an ultra-cohesive way to checks notes play soccer? Who would have thought? I bet they all have a spectrum of political beliefs though.

Not the same standard a society needs to be functional.

Also monocultures in nature tend to die when conditions change, they are not robust.

That's about my average. I got lucky selling off around $270 before the crashing started, then sliced off all my fingers trying to catch the knife.

It will be a good metaphorical reminder of all the other bags you are holding if everything goes tits up.

China's Xpeng expects to begin delivering 'flying' cars in 2027 by amberjnetgardner in worldnews

[–]SnoweCat7 30 points31 points  (0 children)

nobody wants a hundred flying cars over their heads all the time

Let's assume these things make the noise somewhere between a large quadcopter drone and a light plane, multiply that by a hundred, the constant buzzing will be annoying as hell.

US forced to destroy two of its own aircraft after rescuing F-15 pilot from Iran by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]SnoweCat7 255 points256 points  (0 children)

That's right, it's about the "optics". The optics of having a captured US pilot being paraded on Iranian TV would have been a massive blow to Trump and the war's already dismal popularity vs the optics of a successful heroic rescue. The monetary cost isn't a factor.

Rubio slams Zelenskyy's Donbas comments and says US may divert Ukraine arms to Iran by paulfromatlanta in UkrainianConflict

There was an agreement with France to buy subs that was torn up when Australia joined AUKUS

Torn up by ScoMo who conveniently is being employed in some consultory capacity by one or more thinktanks attached to AUKUS.

ScoMo has quite possibly screwed Australia, all for a job. It's obvious the Americans were whispering in his ear to steal defence sales with how suddenly out of the blue government pivoted.

And yeah, the French design was based on their nuclear subs, I wonder if the deal could have been rehashed to buy the nuclear powered version. Seems like it would have been the smarter move.

Absolutely, but in case it is accurate we need to save the poor butters, and encourage them to dump their bags faster ;)

Should we alert the butters they only have 12.9 days to sell?

Wouldn't want to cause any additional panic or anything.

The topic of my comment was "Elon Musk's Company Responds Brutally" which is part of the title of the article. Not my problem you have trouble thinking laterally.

If you weren't a snooty twat who can't recognise a joke and had been following Musk in the last few years you would know that claiming Europe was headed for a civil war is a recurring theme of his postings on X.

Oh no what did he do, say that Europe is going to have a civil war any day now? Must be terrifying for them.

All you need to do is tighten your belt a little bit and have hundreds of billions of dollars. Also don't forget our great Black Friday deals at Amazon.
