It won't be the same without RARBG. 😭

I think it's sad. There is so much good information stored in the side bars, like for example /r/buildapc or /r/fitness, that I hope gets salvaged by the fediverse.

Plus our spaces here need indexing so we can find answers to obscure questions again.

I fixed that problem...I never hear silence!

All I hear is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......

I.e the 90-9-1 rule of internet culture.

Despite their opposing views, Foley, Mayo, Finlay and Grayl agreed that a majority “no” vote on the referendum would be irreversibly harmful for Indigenous rights.

This is my reasoning for voting 'Yes'. The Overton Window is too far to the right in this country and the racists shouldn't get another win. There's nothing to lose and something to gain by at least ensuring that the Indigenous get an official, non-binding say on policy.

That might be true for the main threads at the other place but I spent most of my time in every place except the defaults, so I feel less of a difference. Even so, I know there's an uptick in quality just because there's a bit of friction getting into the fediverse and participating.

Anybody else find it a bit gross that with an already productive workforce, the 'issue' of the 4 day work week needs to be framed like this...instead of it being about giving people their time and lives back without a reduction in pay?

Eh, it's the same as paying for a third-party app for the other place and not being shown ads. On desktop Ublock is always keeping my eyes safe.

Return to monkey.

Any of the re-textures from Xavbio are a must-have, if that counts...

Otherwise I have Artificer with Reliquary of Myth overriding to overhaul as many artifacts and unique items as possible.

There's also the Regal Paladin Armor my knight is rocking.

It's really sad to see. You would think those in Labor would know first-hand how batshit insane their colleagues are across the aisle and leap at the opportunity to right the ship while they've got the chance. Doesn't it suck to feel powerless in Opposition compared to Government? Faffing around and not addressing cost of living means voters get upset and will take it out on them; "Opposition don't win elections, Governments lose them". Labor hasn't been known for the past couple of decades to hold government as long as the LNP, so they will be pushed out with nothing to their name at this rate; I don't think anybody is going to remember getting double medications per script, even if that's really handy for me personally. Since they hid the Federal ICAC from the public eye that's not going to generate any political capital for them either.

They're banking on using the Voice as another legacy trophy but it has nothing on Medicare, which hasn't quite been as gutted as the NDIS or NBN, just from it's scope I think. They're also just hoping that it's going to pass, but if it doesn't? They have nothing to show. Will we suddenly see a flurry of legislation if it fails, to save face? That seems like madness.

I wanted to point out that some health plans seem to be offering CBT (computer-based therapy)

Not to be confused with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Yeah...I like the cooler days and not having constant brain fog from the heat, but I started violently coughing like the asthmatic I am this morning and needed to dig out my Ventolin, so winter isn't always a nice time.

New. I didn't need to consult some name generator this time to find something I liked. I thought about getting something crude but I'm going to be using this account for quite a while so I chose this.

purely aesthetic perspective.

Did you not use RES + OldReddit? It was perfect 😢

It's too bad I already wrote like that before ChatGPT was public. For fun I put in an essay of mine from a couple of years back into a detector that told me parts were generated by AI ☠️

Which I still find weird because I never followed anyone on my anti-social media anyway.

Yes. In highschool (Australia) I took Modern History in years 11-12, which was taught by a teacher who really cared about the subject. With a subject like that of course media literacy, arguments, hypothesis's, source accuracy, claims, bias, and everything related to research skills was relevant. It was essentially a practice run for any political science course you would take at university, as the class revolved around submitting one big assessment item each term which was thoroughly researched. I chose the easy route every time and just wrote essays, but if you were the creative type you could make something else to showcase understanding.

During one semester we did a small trip to a university campus in the city so we could gather resources for one of our projects while not hitting any paywalls.

Of course being an elective senior subject in rural Queensland it was only about 15 of us in my class, where my cohort at large was 100 students in total (once people dropped out in Year 10).

I know it must be hyperbole... I would just be happy with a few years in prison as a deterrent and some long community service to bring them back to reality.

With two large buckets next to the shower, separation is a non-issue for me, so I still do it for the peace-of-mind. I can simply dump each bucket into the washing machine mindlessly.
