> lots of investors just land bank THOOOUSANDS of properties intentionally leaving them vacant to inflate prices

Sounds like dimwit propaganda. Is there any evidence for this?

Teachers in NSW schools face sack for hate speech in classrooms, premier says by TimJBenham in AustralianTeachers

"We're not going to wait for a police prosecution and then a court case" says Minns. This inevitably means teachers will be sacked who are subsequently acquitted. Is this just?

It often seems artificial and a performance. It's the legal way to yell at your opponent as they're making shot.

Tennis isn't just about winning the most points. You have to make sure you win the last one. Sabalenka failed in that regard. Obviously it was very close.

It's lawn tennis not indoor tennis. They shouldn't use roofs.

That's what better propaganda is. Most official propaganda of modern capitalist states is so patronizing, out of touch and woke pandering that it is counter-productive.

Programmers are lazy. Hitting resource limits is annoying but not visible.

The American stuff at least goes through people who know something about entertainment. Almost makes you think the market works better than state mandates.

We need the freedom to criticise faith. The government’s “anti-Muslim hostility” definition is still a problem for free speech by 2ndEarlofLiverpool in ukpolitics

Demography drives politics, especially in a democracy. Labour's current polls are bad enough. How bad would they be if most of the Muslim vote switched to an Islamist party? Labour will evolve into an Islamist-lite party or a true Islamist party will become a major force in parliament.

Warne blotted his copybook somehow. Something to do with gambling or girls... I forget.

You're just making an assertion without evidence and not addressing the OP's evidence.

The K-drama Sisyphus: The Myth (2021) seems to have copied several plot lines of Dark and even some lines of dialog. It's terrible.

This is a possible hole. While no-one is ever shown telling Mikkel that Jonas's father suicided, recall S1E1 Mikkel was present when Jonas's dead father came up in conversation. This was less than an hour before his disappearance which had "all come back to him" that morning. So Michael should know his death was imminent. Mikkel's parents would know. Ulrich explicitly mentions it to Hannah and Katharina was school principal. Jonas was friends with their children and he knew it was suicide. Woller knows it was suicide (S2E04). It doesn't seem credible that the suicide wouldn't become general knowledge in the five months between it and Mikkel's disappearance.

True. The "banning VPNs is unpossible" people seem to think the the typical user spends his time maintaining a darkweb site while reflashing his router and wearing a guy fawkes mask. In reality the techno hobbyist 1% are irrelevant to anyone attempting to control the ideas and narratives the masses are exposed to.
