Thanks for sticking to it! My mum is a nurse and so I’ve heard a lot of stories of this being common - as if being physically abused is a part of the job.

You’re exactly right- but it isn’t a timeless problem. Government has the ability to reform inheritance and taxation. However, theres no political will, because those with money, can lobby better than those without. Ironically America rejec

Wealth inequality being the worst it’s been in recent history. …Because people like you are whining and not working hard enough? No- we don’t live in a meritocracy. Productivity is not rewarded proportionately.

Culturally, your value as a person is correlated to wealth. Society is structured to be more difficult for those who don’t have high paying jobs, material goods or stable housing / real estate. A glass half-full approach doesn’t resolv

I have several multi-millionaire friends; at times I’ve received work from them, and at times it has been a decent wage, but when things go sour, you don’t just lose a client, you lose a friend. That is to say: taking advantage of their wea

What you've highlighted isn't incorrect, but we'd be missing the forest for the trees if we were just to only focus on each individual aspect of depression. Exercise is required to be a human. Walking 10,000 steps each day is

No, it is down to policy and culture. Simply put: I could purposely crash my car and it would not be counted as a suicide or homicide. While there are a lot of reasons for that to be the case, my point is the numbers are not representative

It’s not that they didn’t cave, Google products are unavailable due to sanctions. Google Search for example was heavily modified for the Chinese market.

It isn't the LNP or ALP which decide which security laws are implemented. If you'd like an explainer on how security laws such as TOLA are enacted, this channel is a great resource: https://www.youtube.com/channel&

I live in Melbourne, the most locked down city in the world. We have substantially lower death rates than Florida, which has a comparable population. Florida: 3,600,000 covid cases 56,667 deaths Melbourne: 54,470 covid cases 913 deaths This

> police are justified in shooting people who leave their homes with rubber bullets This is not true at all. As an Australian who has been following protests closely and the police response, they are clearly only shooting rubber bullets

If it had tagged all humans in all photos as primates; this wouldn't be newsworthy- but it didn’t do that. It only tagged black people. Which if you can empathise with others, is understandably offensive.

I just noticed that the author wasn't using the AirPods Pro / Max which Spacial Audio was designed in tandem with. No wonder they didn't find it impressive and are calling it a scam. TBH, I'm sad I wasted my time reading

Speaking as a musician, I agree that there is a level of respect required for the original mix. Though, in the case of Spacial Audio, this isn't a matter of "gimmicky" sound, this is headphones reproducing the effect that lou

Applications like Charles [1] allow you monitor network connections and data closely. Apple do not actively prevent this. You can also setup a VPN to route traffic and strictly firewall. [1] https://www.charlesproxy.com

Your dogmatic approach to updating would prevent you from installing a version _without_ malware attached. For example, a version of Xcode circulated in China was infected with malware and once Apple had detected it, they asked all develope

You point towards regulation as the culprit of innovation being killed; I wonder how you are not aware most people live pay-check to pay-check, and therefore can not adopt the risk necessary to be entrepreneurial? We all, live in an extreme
