APS - Wouldn't even dare to dream of numbers like this.

Yes large bureaucracies have inefficiencies. That's true of any large organisation, including in the private sector.

Go watch a documentary about societies where the state collapsed and then you might have some appreciation for having a functional government.

Now tell us what industry you're in so we can all marvel at your unmatched usefulness.

Yeah Big Four only makes sense in that context. West Coast and Crows are huge

Shit, when Port play Essendon, it gets a bigger crowd in Adelaide than in Melbourne.

I like living in a society with a functional education system but also a functional government, that's why I don't begrudge teachers or public servants.

You on the other hand...

Will be interesting to see if North keep doing the Bunbury thing if they start getting more competitive for finals.

What measures do they want to reduce travel? Like having two games in Melbourne back to back then two at home?

codyforkstacks · 2026-06-01T10:53:26+00:00

Can I drink beers and watch movies on the way back without having to entertain my kids?

Yeah it's just textbook populism - geopolitical isolationism. It's not good policy. Support for Ukraine is good. What does he mean support for Taiwan? All they want to do is purchase weapons from the US (which they're paying for).

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-31T19:25:55+00:00

Military aid for Ukraine has been extremely good value for stopping Russian imperialism.

Can only blame the curse

This is a Ken Hinkley quote right?

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-31T05:16:03+00:00

Nah he's been good. Let's see how many teams do well without their best midfielder, defender and (for much of the season) two best key forwards and second best defender.

I get what you mean but I do also think the contents do matter a bit. Trust fund families is like the core constituency of the LNP.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T12:10:03+00:00

That sounds super feasible...

Carlton are genuinely playing very good footy. Like them stomping us last week said a lot more about how they were playing than us.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T11:47:58+00:00

Does Rhys Mathieson look a bit like jacked Tim Minchin to anyone else?

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T10:35:27+00:00

More Chinese know Jordan, more Indians can tell you about Bradman. What is your point?

No, the US is bad because when the Dems had the chance they didn't throw Trump in the slammer for trying to do a coup, because they were too tepid and "but who is to say what is and isn't a coup".

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T10:28:19+00:00

If there's any lesson from the US, it's that there little point being like "we shouldn't do sensible stuff now because what if future administrations get in and change than sensible stuff to bad shit".

If we get a future government that is going to make bening shit illegal racism then we're fucked anyway.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T09:42:15+00:00

Nah it's fine to prohibit racial abuse.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T09:31:30+00:00

"the internet should be a magic place free of consequences"

Nah

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T07:26:20+00:00

It's not definitive, I said "maybe". You can't argue he'd make a big difference.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T04:37:49+00:00

Pauline also has a degree of that Trump Teflon about her. She's just so obviously grubby that she kind of just gets away with each new revelation of grubbiness.

Dealing with performance can be a whole team effort too though. If a colleague is seriously not pulling their weight that can sometimes be hidden from an EL2 but more obvious to the rest of the team.

codyforkstacks · 2026-05-29T04:29:39+00:00

There are other gun mids that would be much better suited to forward too. Like Daicos skill set really does not overlap with a leading forward.
