I think you are right, there are only nuanced, localised level solutions to this issue. But to not address the parent's issue is really not an option.

From all the history I have read of civilisation, it's been grain that has been the foundation of human society as we know it, meat couldn't get us anywhere. Meat eating among the poor in European societies and derived societies i

Look it's all subjective but their comments were hardly pernicious and divisive - they were a fair observation of the situation.

The fact that he was replying to a comment that used it as an example of Australia's 'authoritarian' response to covid and the fact that it received widespread news coverage and we all got to see her distress Vs the other guy

Because the reaction to her arrest is a good example of white lady in distress. Whether you agree or disagree with her arrest and release like two hours after this sort of stuff happens all the time with police but it's a big deal if i

Thank you, how long have you used it for? I'm always distrustful of fancy looking mice but I read a list of the features and it looks great

Magic mouse 2 is the worst mouse I have used since I stopped using mice with the ball inside. It's too shallow for my hands It has a rough edge around the back when it should be smooth, the cheap plastic top doesn't line up perfec

They have had that option for twenty years already. It hasn't happened because cultural fit is super important to a business if it wants to create a quality product. Look at the areas where the services have been outsourced to overseas

This is an interesting question, what makes this more gross than killing in video games. For some reason I would want to show some reverence for historical events. It probably comes down to whether I have emotional connection to the event.

I played it as a ten year old and loved it. It has great game mechanics and loved the interplay between empires. But having read several books on what colonisation actually means I would be reluctant to play it again. For some reason for me

One thing I always find interesting about Wittenoom Mine is that it's construction and then sale to CSR seems to be the seed capital for Lang Hancock and his daughter Gina Rinehart to build a giant empire in iron ore mining. Gina Rineh

I am sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying. But we do seem to have diametrically opposed views. You pay a union worker more, that means that everyone else pays for it through higher prices. You pay a union member more and they pu

Unions bring far more good to society than bad to society. They have given the non-landed class of people a life that even a century ago was unheard of. Countries that have decent levels of union involvement have much better working conditi

Too true the thought crossed my mind but it provides an opportunity to make your own point in reply.

As they say ignorance is not an excuse, politicians are just a reflection of the people who voted for them. But it sure beats authoritarianism, at least there is a chance of making it work!

It might have the unintended social positive of Google not indexing or allowing people to link to news limited on their services.

If I may add: theguardian.com/au michaelwest.com.au theconversation.com themonthly.com.au All do decent analysis of policy and economics and holding government to account.

I see your point, I also got that feeling with the noting that him and Travis didn't get along in the article.

Isn't it good that a company owned by rich people can write about the morals of other rich people? Albeit a vapid article.

My apologies for the following, but this is something I have never heard of. I have many questions I tried googling but the beds seem to be stone but you then place a mattress on. Doesn't it hurt your bones when you wake up in the morn

That is a massive problem especially when as you say when talking about political budgets.

They like flexibility because it's their second job trying to make enough to live on.

This is fear of being regulated, I think the gig economy is low hanging fruit to regulate and tear apart to pretend they (whoever is in charge) are changing society, he is trying to frame Uber as part of the 'solution' rather than

Politics I would suspect would prohibit this sort of investment in infrastructure for Australian markets.

Thanks that makes it clear yes I was taught outside (from Australia) and I didn't know there was an inside rule, I must look out for that in the novel I'm reading
