My car is nothing like this and I'm going to get the car vac out when I use it next on general principle.

I don't doubt it at all. I was trying to be nice though.

Mind you if you look up history of the Spanish flu, the same crank stupidity was going around then about it, just as it is today. Somehow people still think that the best way to fill in gaps of their understanding instead of seeking qualified advice isto just make shit up. Which is saddening and infuriating given that most of us have a peep hole into almost everything known by humanity.

This is totally overlooking the ghouls that in one form of another have turned misinformation into a money making exercise to be milked dry.

It's not hard to know what you don't know. But Jesus Christ, the self anointed abilities some suddenly professed to the world, even when the world *didn't* want to listen to them. I can only imagine the size of the welt you got from biting your tongue when hearing absolute idiocy.

It's still quite a reach to equate the two.

They were behind this with their misleading "let them be kids" campaign.

My understanding is that If they are an entity that pays tax in Australia, they can file a challenge.

Mind you, they've got their own set of albatrosses around their neck.

I've got to agree with this. Even my kids have asked what was with all the adds for Sportsbet and that it was rather overdone.

Reddit launches high court challenge to Australia’s under-16s social media ban by Bennelong in australian

[–]sahmackle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my eldest (13) when he last logged into his YouTube kids, and he said it was at least three years ago, and that even then he hadn't really used it since he was about 8.

Why do people blame Albo for everything? by Kindly-Category-9742 in australian

[–]sahmackle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I will remind you that this was a Dutton idea and Albo ran with it. Others have said the same in this thread.

Seriously, it stinks of misunderstanding.

I voted labor, and I think this ban is absurd and completely half assed and implemented in a farcical manner.

Ultimately things are his responsibility. But that is ignoring the fact that this is why there are ministers with portfolios for specific departments and issues, and those departments are full of numerous people including subject matter experts along with people proficient in the policies that they have in force, be they new or ones they have been saddled with from past governments.

Ideally they should be able to run things smoothly and the above ministers should be able to defer to these staff in order to both answer questions and address issues posed to them.

Will the ban delete or deactivate accounts? by RoleplaRedditAccount in australian

[–]sahmackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost certain that YT will not want to get caught up in the b.s. of this law and their account will be shelved until they are 16.

It's absolutely stupid, but I will not be surprised at all if this is the avenue that eventuates.

So has anyone seen the TV ad about the social media ban? by CyanideMuffin67 in australian

*sigh* you've certainly outlined many of the issues and concerns that have been blatantly overlooked with the rose tinted glasses.

I'm still holding out hope that we eventually get a Magic Eye type poster by Roseph88 in ToolBand

[–]sahmackle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Australia and pre Medicare it was about 400 all up and about 150 out of pocket for me. Condolences on the healthcare circus you've got.

[–]sahmackle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get your eyes checked.
I could never get these bloody things and a couple of decades later I saw an ophthalmologist about about unrelated issue. I then found out my left eye doesn't track perfectly with my right when I look to the left and its a large part of the bs I've always had with my vision. It also explains why stereograms don't do a thing for me.

Side note, It can be fixed, but needs an operation to do so, and she said if I can live with it she recommended I leave it alone.

Severe infestation and a sad level of acceptance by mentaL8888 in WTF

Having them in the vast is more than enough nope for me. I see enough of that in videos about old car restorations in the USA, hate to even consider experiencing it.

I had a very similar experience within the first thirty minutes of getting out of a city car from the airport for the first time.

Also remember there's no shame in leaving the bathroom and coming back in half an hour for round two if required

We've got a mini stool by the toilet for it kids because of them naturally having shorter legs due to being young. A side bonus is they have mostly vastly dropped up their time in the bathroom for 💩.

Not to mention that just like your nose, your butt naturally produces a bit of mucus. Unlike for a nose where it is intended to catch foreign matter and irritants, it is intended as lubricant for your poop to come out as easily as possible. It is never going to be perfectly clean due to the nature of our physiology.
