I'm not your guy, pal XD

Sigh, first we had some religious whacko's wrecking indigenous art, now these whackos from the Cult of the Self.

Can't we just leave other people's shit alone, and all just get along ?

It can work until they capture the regulator, and then become as one.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

I was having a look through one of their daily threads, and there was a bunch of active /r/melbourne people that were basically saying they had migrated to lemmy. They were contacting each other on reddit (PM I guess) and then just joining up.

Mass migration lol. So they 3 times more subscribers and seems like these were the core of /r/melbourne.

Well spotted. I was trying to work out what to add for SA, and then I wondered "What's more ignored than saying somebody is forgotten?". So I left SA out XD

No offence to SAers -or the various other states above- it's just a jab at how the various governments treat us.

For real! And get some proper insulation - both weather/temperature and noise.

It's easy to live in denser housing when you don't alternately bake or freeze, and you can't hear every neighbour in all 6 directions.

NSW will give their share straight to property developers.

Vic will give their share as a negative gearing special rebate.

Qld will give their share as a first home buyers deposit. It will instantly raise the prices of all real estate by that same amount, ensuring that you can never be a first home buyer.

Tassie will probably spend theirs on a footy stadium, with a granny flat in the carpark to make sure it qualifies

ACT gets 1.5 billion of this to go to housing on submarines.

For some reason, WA won't get anything.

And NT is forgotten altogether.

Copying a post I did earlier in the week:

That 4 corners report was a bit of an eye opener.

I hadn't realised that eg, Football Australia had signed contracts with sports betting related companies, and that they actually get a cut of each bet. And "The NRL earnt 50 million dollars last year from this agreement. It takes a 1-point-2 per cent commission from every bet in Australia on its games, more for riskier bets and gambling on big games like the State of Origin and finals. On some bets … the NRL can take 17.5 per cent of a bookmaker's profit."

They won't want to do anything to reduce gambling. They are incentivised to increase gambling !!

lol! Jimmy would have slapped the hell out of him.

From a philosophical perspective, it is pretty complex.

This is a good start
