I don't understand why cities can't change some of their inner metro road system (eg. convert some roads to one way etc.) and use the other lane for e-bike and scooter traffic. That way we keep them clear of pedestrians but clean up and quieten the inner city area.

This always annoys me. How can a device you have purchased outright with certain functionality, have the terms of service changed after the point of purchase which then changes that usage of the device.

This seems like you could return for refund as the device is NOW not what you originally purchased.

Where does this end? We buy a car then 5yrs later they change the terms of service and if you don't agree you don't get the right to have tires on your car.

Just get off it people. Easy to solve.

If only companies could stop doing stupid things so that they didnt have to "back down" all the time.

And the world was, for a second,a better place.

Far better optics than the male Hockey team.

And courage, because this could have really been twisted and clouded, Gamers Nexus really went out on a limb (albeit justified).

It is fairly easy to obey the road rules. The problem is that if over time the laws aren't enforced then it is easy over time for thos laws to erode, and then suddenly it feels weird to obey them.

Yeah they are a delicate bunch people aren't they.

What about......and hear me out. We dont give lobbyists unfettered access to parliament at all, then we dont have to name them.

Is that Sauron in the sky.

Look to be honest I don't agree with your stance but I respect the fact that you both don't wish to donate and more importantly receive. I fell some people would be quite happy to take but not give.

And Fox would be a mouthpiece for Republicans. So........

I mean if you go to the trouble of drone protecting a building your pretty much telling everyone that it is an important building.

Should counter with the USA using the imperial system.

You know what mate you could have put the above info into your original post to help those trying to help you. Instead of the way you just came across in your reply, whether or not you agree with the aid given just accept it with thanks.

I had this discussion with my work colleagues before COVID was a thing. I asked the question along the lines of "If aliens were to come to earth and pose an existential threat could you see the world uniting as one"

I don't believe so. I think although we would weakly work together the big world players still could not put aside their issues and trust enough to get the job done.

Then COVID occurred and I brought this question back up citing that even a global pandemic couldn't generally get us to put aside our differences and work for the benefit of the world.

In the back of each countries head would be "How do I as a country emerge from this threat as the dominate force".

It's weird because Starlink hasn't been around that long that we should have become reliant on it yet.

This is what disappoints me. All I ever want is for my government to do a little better for a better cross section of the people. I dont want perfect immediately, but I do want improvement.

But we instead get 'outraged' and short sighted and turn to poorer options like One Nation as an alternative. It's just like the meme of sticking a stick in your spokes.

Where Pauline Hanson got gifted a private jet, has dinners with Trump/Gina Rhinehart folk. ON could not care less about these people.

You have Barnaby Joyce apparently against climate change and is terrified of wind turbines, and makes a 6th grader look intelligent in comparison.

Read, think and vote for the future where you have a chance.

Does that include circumcisions?
