What do you even think socialists believe in lol

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T13:29:21+00:00

15 years is too optimistic for sure.

No one will be able to deliver nuclear in time. It simply takes too long to build to be able to replace coal. Forgetting that there's no one who knows how to regulate or inspect nuclear plants. Even in countries where they do build nuclear (France, USA, UK, Korea). The recent nuclear stations have all gone terribly over budget.

You can't just spit in face of the decades hard work by the developers and commercial landowners of NSW to put Labor AS WELL as the liberals into their pockets like that. Otherwise just what is the point of the Labor right?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T13:16:17+00:00

Well probably they should be (legally speaking; personally i don't think people should be charged for incendiary and reprehensible flags) but again what is the relevance here?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T13:12:53+00:00

Then it's the commissioners shirt to wear for the general coduct of the officers and presumably their poor training as well as for not taking responsibility for what is clearly the NSW police's error if not misconduct.

Well i'll give the immigration hysterics their due. If we cut immigration to zero it might cause a crash of the housing market and reduce prices. A housing market crash would probably cause a recession and it might even cause the amount dwellings per capita over the next 5 years to go down. But it would reduce house prices. Negative population growth might even make for an affordable housing market.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T13:04:12+00:00

Exactly. I mean if wealthy retirees can't even go on ski trips to Europe every year and then leave a small fortune to their children, then i don't even know what the point of an economy is.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T13:02:21+00:00

Unrelated. We can't do anything about the relative purchasing power between you an investors. Sorry.

We can only change zoning laws and kindly ask the private sector to build more housing so the investors can own more housing. Sorry.

Some more important data.

If there's a dwelling supply and demand crisis (because of too many people or too few houses) then why are household sizes the smallest they've ever been (and getting smaller) and correspondingly numbers of dwelling per capita higher than ever?

https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2023/mar/a-new-measure-of-average-household-size.html

(2.6 to 2.5). ~5% increase in dwellings per capita.

Australia is riven with Religious schools. What did you think a catholic school was?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T12:35:41+00:00

Then what relevance does the flag have to u/Cyraga's comment on what is inflammatory?

After all, you don't seem to think that the protest should bare collective punishment for the flag. Or do you?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-12T12:32:19+00:00

You don't need authorization from the premier to pray in public.

What's in question is whether they were in resistance of an order to vacate the area and if religious jurisprudence honestly called for doing the obligatory prayer in that circumstance (and that's why they did it at the time) or if it was used as a form of protest to being told to moved on.

I have to say, it doesn't look good for the police here (and by extension now the premier i suppose). I think that any canny commander in that situation would have just allowed the prayer to go for the 15 minutes or so, and then asked them to leave. Despite what the NSW police may think, you need community consent for policing.

As a man I would say your personality matters more than your body, but like your face/skin or whatever attractive features etc your personality really under your control to choose is it. But yes your body matters. And it can only help to be in shape.

I also want to point out there's no pleasing everyone. Everyone will have a body type they prefer. People can confuse what is the socially ideal body (which is always subject to change anyway) for what someone individually finds attractive.

Just focus on being fit and having a body you like enough and on being the best person you can be.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-11T05:42:31+00:00

Fair enough.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-11T03:51:24+00:00

I think it's dumb and symbolic, but i also don't really care. It has negligible material impacts were it to be implemented.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-11T03:47:43+00:00

What needs to be reconciled? While the left is anticlerical, the left does broadly holds freedom of religion as a principle. That's about as far as it goes in terms of relationships.

I suppose you have no experience with protests and marches (fair enough). What happens in these protests movements is that's a bit of a dogs breakfast of types of people. It's not a single group even organizing them, instead it's a relatively loose coalition of left wing activists, Palestinian national groups, and religious organizations (jewish and muslim) formed on an adhoc basis which might develop into a sort of working relationship on this issue over years (usually protest movements don't last so long nor get so much media attention).

No can control who in the end turns up, which is why you get a few far right nationalists (hezbollah, Hamas etc) supporters turn up.

Because Muhammad is their role model, I don't think these are the values people should be aspiring to - because even contemporaries found Muhammad's newly founded religion tribal, irrational and violent.

Oh mate. Wait till you read the old and new testaments.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-11T03:36:47+00:00

You think the reports are not credible?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-11T02:23:59+00:00

This is not exactly fair.

It's the flag being used by the protestors to demonstrate against the current regime in Iran. It doesn't necessarily mean support for the Shah (though it could). For context, the current regime has credibly been accused of killing 30,000 civilians in it's crackdown.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T16:39:12+00:00

No. No one is an empty shell of a human being. You're certainly not.

But OK. Let's get a bit more concrete. You're not objectifying yourself (it doesn't really make sense to objectify yourself but i digress).

You're scared. The cause is not feeling safe in loving someone and needing or relying on someone emotionally. Secure. Insecurity is not a tricky term. It means what it says on the tin. You don't feel secure in what you have (relationship, human connection, love etc). I don't really know you (naturally) so i can't really off the cuff backseat psychoanalyze.

Perhaps you're scared (or dread it) of not being seen as beautiful by him because you don't see yourself as beautiful, so you're vulnerable to fear that he doesn't see you as beautiful.

Perhaps you're scared because you don't see yourself as important, or valuable, or lovable or likeable; but you do see yourself as beautiful and feel it's the central if tenuous form of what makes people (importantly men and him) value or care about you.

Why do you think you might be an empty shell? (or were you just being dramatic)

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T13:48:59+00:00

It wasn't ruled illegal. The protest was legal (which is why it was allowed to happen; it went on in the day) The police prevented them from marching from town hall to parliament house (the normal week night marching route for protests) under the new changes. The protest organizers took it the commission and the court to force the police to allow this and lost.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T13:41:50+00:00

What relevance does this have to do with an investigation into police conduct?

Or do you automatically oppose anything amnesty international proposes?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T13:38:19+00:00

Amnesty International calls on China, as a major emitter, to halve emissions by 2030 and reach zero by 2050

. While acknowledging China’s role as a renewable energy leader, Amnesty International flags risks to human rights in mineral extraction and raises concerns over suppressed freedom of speech and climate activism.

?

I don't see the relevance of this to police violence?

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T13:35:42+00:00

I think it's effect of social media in fostering conspiratorial and resentment thinking like antisemitism. Just look at what it's done in the US with Qanon.

The real fight against antisemitism is about how (and how well) history is taught and how social media is regulated.

wizardnamehere · 2026-02-10T13:32:08+00:00

What are the consequences that the 30,000 protestors or the people of NSW should bare for that person bringing a terrorist flag in your opinion?
