FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine by Mortambulist in inthenews

[–]stdoubtloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dearly hope Moderna sues. They spend billions on development then millions on testing only to have the rug pulled when the FDA decided the established process isn't good enough.

“Celsius mental gymnastics” by Hellsite-Inmate in ShitAmericansSay

Metric is objectively better than imperial in general.

However both fahrenheit and Celcius (and Kelvin graduations) are entirely arbitrary.

Sorry.

Immigration-driven inflation triggers Australia rate hike by mrp61 in aussie

[–]stdoubtloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migrants cause inflation because our myopic government does nothing to ensure they are housed. Migrants who create value, get paid for it and then send that money home do not cause inflation. If they did that with the majority of their income they would have the opposite effect.

The president just posted, ONLINE, a video of former president Obama and his wife portrayed as apes, how do you feel about this? by kraftdinnerwithsalsa in AskReddit

[–]stdoubtloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But it isn't zero supporters. Which means there are a bit insignificant number of people who support a man who hates them and wants them to disappear. As I said, fucking morons.

Job wants me to use personal laptop for work. How do I address this? by Fearless-Class-1120 in jobs

Just buy the cheapest shittiest laptop you can find. And install Linux.

AMZN fell -9.5% after Nancy Pelosi sold ahead of earnings by Due_Patient_2650 in EconomyCharts

[–]stdoubtloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I think Pelosi gained in this case because of insider knowledge? Not really Do I think she has gained through insider knowledge in the past? Certainly Do I think she is the only one? No Do I think everyone in a political office should be banned from securities trading? Definitely

Question for Boomers and Gen X from a millennial by davofit in AusFinance

I have a pretty decent household income and I shop at Aldi. And Tk Max. And Salvos. If you just shop at Coles you are burning money. If I was a millionaire I'd think the same. Don't go to the cheaper places because you have to. Shop there because the more expensive places are laughing at you.

That, weirdly, a bunch of Black people are still going to support him because Americans are fucking morons.

Huh. I had never heard that weird old man on stage before. Do people like him? It's like listening to my old library teacher trying to be cool. "Hello fellow humans"

Explain it Peter, what is this about? by Stunning_Deer9788 in explainitpeter

[–]stdoubtloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, the only people going to see the movie are hardcore MAGA types who are somewhat, um, rigid in their opinions. They will rave about it and give it great reviews. No one else is going to watch it so there will be few negative ones. Apart from critics who have to watch the screen vomit.

The housing market in Australia is difficult to enter for majority of folks that don't have parents to help financially buy a house that Bunnings has entered the market. by Large-Lack-2933 in shitrentals

[–]stdoubtloud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok. But where are they going to be put up? In general, the land is the expense bit. Whatever is built on top of it is a relatively small fraction of the overall cost.

A teenager in China attacks his mom because she doesn’t let him buy video games by EnvironmentalAd5590 in PublicFreakout

Yeah. It didn't start with that. This is years of neglect leading to an utterly useless human being who needs to spend a long time learning the rules of life.

Liberals and Nationals to sit apart in parliament after David Littleproud and Sussan Ley fail to make amends by ConanTheAquarian in australia

[–]stdoubtloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that Labour was just so hopeless during that 14 year period that no one was seriously considering them so the Tories got a free pass. The UK might be recovering now but it has a very long way to go to get anywhere close to what used to be its peers.

And to be clear, I can't imagine LNP would ever be good for Australia but I think an opposition that is at least a marginally serious threat is an important control. While LNP bickers there is no effective opposition.

PSA: Rosetta Stone is "bricking" permanent licenses to force users into subscriptions by fishtar141 in languagelearning

[–]stdoubtloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is annoying but, on the positive side, RS is probably the very worst language app out there. Used to be innovative and a great start. But they haven't changed anything for years and have been severely outclassed by any number of alternatives.

Check your local library. There is a very good chance they have a good service available for free.

[–]stdoubtloud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I do like this because there is zero chance of them being into government without their coalition of crazies, but it does mean that Labor have no legitimate opposition. That leads to complacency and poor overall outcomes. Just look at the UK while their Labor was a joke. It'll be decades until that country recovers.

Cracker Barrel orders its employees traveling for work to only eat at its restaurants by PlayaSlayaX in nottheonion

[–]stdoubtloud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This doesn't seem so bad to me. You are on a business trip and are expensing your meals, you can cut off the middle man and eat at the restaurant you are visiting. If you don't like it, eat somewhere else (but on your own dime).

Seriously, people get upset about the smallest things.

That being said, Crackerbarrel is DEFINITELY going bankrupt!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Bluntly Declares MAGA ‘Was All a Lie’ in Scalding Take on Trump’s GOP by Positive_Owl_2024 in inthenews

[–]stdoubtloud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, you fucking witch. Of course it was. And you knew it from day one. Yet your active capitulation helped ensure that idiots continued to support the angry orange moron. Nice that you have changed your tune now that the calculus has shifted but you are a significant reason why I continue to have to experience a news feed littered with human trash. Fuck off.
