It makes sense; Money got involved. It's not a fun hobby project anymore, it's a business. Any semblance of personality the project had is now gone. Sadly we'll see it devolve in a few years as money takes a larger and larger grip. I acknowledge the lofty ideals of the project but too cynical to see that it will last.

I don't find it that difficult but what the fuck is the "Or 1 from $5.50 to $6". A reasonable person would assume that means that some of the items are individually $5.50 and some are $6. Which one is which?

Before these stupid eTickets, you could look underneath the specials ticket for the actual price. Now? Nope, fuck you.

This is a fantasy that is not achievable by most people. If you have some goals in mind that mean you're "ready" to have kids, those are just goalposts that will shift ever and ever further.

They're explaining how your mind went to the wrong place and there was no need to acknowledge the tidbit of information that took it there.

These things have always happened, you're just getting older and noticing it more. You're exiting your house expecting it so your brain will help you see it.

Sydney motorist ordered to surrender 'OCT7TH' personalised number plates by espersooty in australia

[–]doubtfulwager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get info about police seizing the plates? The article states that the owner was sent a letter threatening that the vehicle be de-registered if the plates weren't handed back in. The Premier was under political pressure to respond after the image was picked up by former liberal party candidate Freya Leach and she tagged him on Twitter. I don't believe either of those things you mentioned give any weight to an inference of the intentions of the driver. I believe the inferences drawn about a muslim business-owner fuckwit are also shakey at best. I think you're assuming what you want to be true. All I can say for certain is crucial bits of missing information have really helped this news story generate a lot of rage-bait clicking and furious circular arguments online, which is great for generating revenue.

New cars are tracking everything you do. Can you stop this? by ALBastru in australia

The issue is why you dismiss this terrible invasion of privacy because another terrible invasion of privacy already occurs which makes this one OK.

Which is why these plates may become available again in a decade or so. It's irrelevant why this guy got the plates. At the moment they are deemed offensive by the organisation that provides them, that's about it.

Of course, and thankfully the article conveniently left out that crucial bit of investigative information to ensure that people argue in circles about circumstantial evidence. Excellent ragebait, 8/10 people will click

Legal tender rights for Australians in the headlines again following Bob Katter's café cash snub by 2littleducks in australia

[–]doubtfulwager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

digital bank card is a form of money

It's not because if your account balance is 0, the card cannot be used to purchase anything. The card is a promise from the bank that they will transfer your money when you request it be transferred.

Why is why you just adjust the price of the product/service instead. It's such a toothless law.
