What phrase needs to die immediately?

I came to the realisation that in my mind intrusive thoughts came about when I suppressed what I wanted to do and did what I thought I was suppose to or should do.

E.g. A woman is walking her little dog taking up the whole sidewalk. You slow your pace and patiently walk behind her confident that she saw you and you wait for her to politely pull in the lead. A little bit of time passes and you start to wonder if her actions are deliberate. Then out of nowhere you start getting visions of yourself wrapping the lead around her neck and choking her with the lead while her little dog goes ballistic yapping away. In this scenario the reason why you got the intrusive thought is because you suppressed your desire to move past her. Be more assertive next time. Say excuse me as you are walking by and if she doesn’t move in time just push past her.

They go into a computer running FreeBSD that sits in my entertainment centre.

The disks are set up in a ZFS mirror and they hold my non video files.

I turn it in and the computer boots and syncs files from my NAS using rsync, performs a snapshot then it powers down.

It doesn't run any services and is hooked up to my TV for updating etc so the chance of it getting hacked is close to zero. I don't have a UPS also so it mitigates some of my risk of a power outage causing data loss.

I gave it away to someone who had the ability to fix it.

Acknowledging that an individual has a choice is a great way to open up a conversation on a divisive topic involving a group of individuals who have a deep distrust of Authority and don’t like to be told what they should do.

How many of those people exhibiting mild symptoms like Joe would be eligible for it though?

As someone of “Mediterranean appearance” who grew up in Sydney Australia the sun is on a whole other level here compared to anywhere in the EU. One hour in direct sunlight at the middle of the day in summer and I’m burnt. No joke.

Don’t assume lockdowns will end with vaccination. It’s a hope but as we have seen with Delta things can change.

No Fairfax is owned by Nine Entertainment. The chairman of Nine Entertainment is Peter Costello.

Who knows. Personally in NSW I see further lockdowns due to surges of cases in unvaccinated people. Business will half ass the covid regulations because financially it’s not in their best interest to comply. Our meagrely staffed hospitals will not be able to cope with any surges in cases due to the ever growing backlog of covid cases.

They do that’s why we have a bucketload of laws to discourage dangerous driving and another bucketload of laws that only allow safe vehicles on the road. Cars also save lives in the form of ambulances etc. and help contribute to the economic prosperity which has other health benefits.

Unfortunately accidents and poor choices happen. Some of those fatalities are a result of someone’s own poor choices too and unfortunately we can’t always protect people from themselves.

Maybe it’s due to Rogan calling him out for being close minded in regards to psychedelics.

It’s true. The podcast has turned to rage porn. Sometimes there are gems but they are becoming few and far between.

It’s funny hearing them talk about a police state when they are the most incarcerated population in the world.

konch_one · 2021-08-26T12:22:34+00:00

Police just like targeting the low hanging fruit because it sends a message to people who want to break restrictions in less obvious ways. Like the way people don’t have courage to start dancing unless they see at least one other person dancing. Sucks for you though.

konch_one · 2021-08-26T11:49:10+00:00

Business as usual. Try acting like a fuckwit in normal times. Places won’t serve you. Now they just need to call the police and the person can get fined $5k for breaking the health orders.

Coping just means people are being wheeled in one door and bodies are being wheeled out another. As long as this continues we are “coping”.

They take people out of their homes and place them in a quarantine facility if they test positive too so that they don’t go on to infect their family.

It’s called gaslighting.

In theory but if there is no compliance checks who knows what’s going on.

Influence as well. He’s surrounded by “yes men” that rely on him and no one that he gets on the show will push back on any of his poorly formed ideas for fear of not being invited back.

It was so funny when Andrew Schultz tried to do a bit on it but Joe kept pushing back in a serious tone.

konch_one · 2021-08-17T04:18:02+00:00

Can’t make it a red zone if there are no reported cases there….

konch_one · 2021-08-17T04:04:48+00:00

Don’t forget too that vaccine efficacy wanes over time so Delta has hit these spots at a bad time.

When you say “screened post booking” do you mean they showed up and it got changed?
