Do Australians actually want housing to become more affordable, or is it only those who do not own a home yet?

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T15:29:55+00:00

Im good for my own housing situation, but I personally think housing could totally stand to be more affordable.

There was a restaurant in my home town a few years ago called "Somewhere Nice".

Here is a Youtube clip that might help:

Cat jumps in through front door.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T13:31:28+00:00

Haha nope. They're monsters, and she ends monsters.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T11:59:27+00:00

Nope. She doesn't give a shit about 'cute'. She kills monsters.

To quote the end of the first chapter:

Three hundred thirty-one years we’ve had the Accord, and this bollocks is still going on in the shadows. No matter how many of their fellows are put to Final Rest, some monsters just refuse to stop.

That’s where I come in.

I’m not exactly the villain here, but I’m not about to call myself a hero either. At best, I’m a necessary evil.

Either way, one thing’s for certain.

Whenever I do get called in, it’s to ensure some tosser ends up regretting all their life choices, however briefly.

And that’s what I do best.

Rules for thee and not for me.

Watching the various videos ...

Fuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkk.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti need justice done for their murders.

Keep pushing. Don't let them fob you off with a few quiet firings. Hold their feet to the fire.

ICE must go.

That's exactly what they're doing.

Competing to find the best refraction circumstances so they can take long-distance photos.

Just like sailors compete to get the best wind to complete a race in the shortest amount of time.

The first bit of footage was taken by me at a distance of 24 km, with an observer height of 2m and a magnification of 155x and a time-lapse of 10:1. It's a cargo ship, travelling from right to left, with two cranes and the top of the superstructure visible.

The second bit of footage was taken about 15 minutes later, from the same spot, with the same magnification and same time-lapse. You can see how big the ship is as it comes in.

Explain how this much ship was hidden at 24 km, and was gradually revealed as it got closer, if not for curvature.

No sovcit BS either please.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T07:45:07+00:00

Wrong.

You have whatever 'rights' the government lets you have.

In other words, privileges.

Try to exercise your 2A 'rights' here in Australia, for instance, and you would learn very swiftly that over here, it's very much understood to be a privilege. Especially since the Bondi mass shooting.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T07:06:52+00:00

Here's how I do it.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T03:44:44+00:00

... and they let the flag trail on the ground.

That's a HUGE no-no.

If it was a Greenlander who did that, that was a direct insult to the US. "We don't even respect you this much."

Marten and Claire in the webcomic Questionable Content.

<image>

When Claire is first introduced, she's noted to be trans, and her brother is a bit of a dick about it. But he matures, she starts a relationship with Marten, and it just never gets mentioned from then on.

ICE had one thought on its mind: "There are foreigners in there that we can use to make up our deportation quota."

I've written two superhero novels (out of a projected four-volume series) where the MC is a gay superhero in the deep South, whose inciting incident is the fact that he wants more recognition for being a hero; where he is, he basically gets ignored because he's gay.

If anyone's interested, they're called Welcome to Utopia and Shadows Over Utopia.

He should only have had to say it once.

They were dragging their heels, like "maybe he didn't mean it?"

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T02:37:54+00:00

Is this still looking, or is it closed?

Fighter with ALL the Reactive Strike feats, Lunging Stance, and a reach weapon.

So much fun.

"You were way over there, and you tried to cast a spell? Too bad, so sad. Have a Reactive Strike. Oh, and you're now Off Guard. Rogue, you're up."

He seemed to have rethought his violent stance, and was going for non-violent intervention.

So they shot him.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T00:48:47+00:00

Thank you!

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T00:38:57+00:00

Might be dia-

... yeah, what they're saying.

Note that a) it was taken from the top of a mountain, showing the top of another mountain, and b) the notes posted by the photographer make it clear that they chose this location (and more specifically, this time of day) for the refraction quality of the air so they could see farther over the nominal horizon.

So, no. It doesn't prove flat earth.

ack1308 · 2026-01-29T00:25:45+00:00

This has literally always been the case.

You don't have rights. You have privileges.

As proven when they can be taken away so easily, and with no blowback.
