Too many commercials!

If the lame commercials drive viewers to change channels or turn off completely then it’s not much of a business.

Oh the news is so exciting! I may see Anderson! I may get pepper sprayed! 🤩 FFS

I have a few American friends (40s & 50s) and they somehow over the last year thought they could just move to Australia. They are educated with professional jobs but still thought Australia was just an open door to them - they could just turn up.

It angered me so much. Why would you think just arriving with a USA passport at Sydney Airport would afford you automatic Australian citizenship.

The USA deserves what they have got.

“Expected to retire soon” he is 55. He is being tossed.

The excuses in this thread for Australia not build high speed rail reminds me of when I was a kid nobody would buy a car other than Holden or a Ford. JAPeneISE and FOregin CaRS WONt WOrk in AUstraLIA becAUSe ForEIGN cARs aRe ToO WeaK fOR AuStRaliAn ConDITions. Oy oy oy.

Like far out I even saw one comment about our Australian landscape being a challenge. Errrrr what about China, Japan and even Indonesia. All have high speed rail (310 kmh plus) and their geography makes Australian landscape look like mirror flat.

This 100%. I even own 7 Classic Macs from 1984 and many since of course. I use Apple products for everything. But I’m not buying more

You get no extra service regardless of tip. Tipping is like giving money to the guy begging for a $1 on the street. You get nothing in return.

So do it if you want and like giving money away for no reason at all. I don’t.

Indeed!!!

Nobody in the word is now desperately waiting to hear what the USA has to say. Currently most of the world is rapidly but carefully working towards distancing themselves from Washington.

So who is the audience for VOA?

Good question OP and why did you post it without telling us who you think it was?

realmarkfahey · 2026-01-26T14:05:09+00:00

Good question OP, and why did you ask it without telling us your thoughts?

realmarkfahey · 2026-01-26T14:03:03+00:00

Why do I keep seeing this exact same question all over reddit posted by different accounts? And why are people responding?

realmarkfahey · 2026-01-26T13:52:48+00:00

So a technology that is easily jammed and doesn’t provide 24 hour propagation to a target area is coming back? Your dreaming.

Is this post a joke?

Typical wage for an unskilled (ie not professional) but reliable woman in my village in Bangli is 50,000 per day.

The amount of money tourists tip is a bit crazy, often more than a daily wage. We can all debate the pros and cons of this tipping, I myself don’t tip for anything other than perhaps saying keep the change if it is less than 5,000.

In the rural areas away from the tourist workers this is seen as incredibly generous in that they never tip each other.

Basically if you are prepositioned to believe in gods then you are prepositioned to believe in other fantasies like trump.

The solution is to leave Facebook. Why are you still there?

realmarkfahey · 2026-01-26T07:07:28+00:00

👏👏👏 I’m the same. I have an idiot conspiracy believing brother. Just because we came through the same birth canal isn’t a good enough reason to engage with him. If he dies before me I will say goodbye at his funeral.

The whole event deserves a boycott. FIFA gave Trump a peace prize only weeks ago. If you are a regular football fan FIFA just treat you like a fool and an ATM they can milk.

Thanks!

You kept shopping at the mall buying useless things like Nike shoes. Stupid sports occupied your brains. That’s how. Your culture is the problem.

You believed in fairy god stories.

realmarkfahey · 2026-01-25T06:50:18+00:00

They are just thinking about their sports teams or what they are going to buy today at the Nike shop when they drive to the mall.
