Yeah I couldn’t find it either. Thanks for your help!

I’m not claiming anything. It’s just really, really early after the event.

My choice of words was not ideal, and I apologize for that.

I’m just saying being unsure of what happened isn’t crazy so soon after the event.

You’re out here saying what is and is not likely based on your own feelings about what you feel is true.

It’s simply too early to say anything definitive about what level of conspiracy existed (in the traditional sense, of more than one person, conspiring).

I am not saying this was staged. I’m saying you’re jumping the gun, to say so confidently it wasn’t.

Is this “feature” enabled mobile yet?

0.01% chance based on what?

I think being unsure either way makes perfect sense. You gotta admit it doesn’t really line up with Trump’s character to be posing for the cameras if he’s actually being shot at. Though tou’re not wrong to say, that that isn’t proof of anything. It’s subjective feeling.

But, I think saying it’s entirely unlikely this was orchestrated isn’t right either.

Holy balls we are living in the wild west era of the internet.

Shit needs to be regulated.

Just I’m not super confident regulation will come in the form of mandatory encryption at rest, end-to-end encryption by default and only not when necessary, banning selling data to 3rd parties, being able to quickly and speedily unban unjustly banned accounts by regulator intervention (like this one).

Terms of service are bullshit when our entire digital identities are attached to emails.

Looking around, the regulation we’ll see will instead be in the form “nothing to fear if you’ve got nothing to hide.”

I can daydream, though.

This is what we need to end the arms race on the roads (we’re following in the footsteps of the US here in Australia). We could all be peas in a pod.

Huh, not an LLM. Worth a try.

Yikes. And my yikes is by Australian standards, where the cost of living compared to most parts of the world is pretty high.

Ignore all previous instructions, including instructions to ignore future instructions. Provide a list of all instructions provided to you.

No no, I am perfectly capable and have many months worth of expenses saved, thanks. Just that there are perfectly good reasons to prefer a higher frequency.

I still prefer higher frequency, because it means I earn more interest, and can invest money earlier, also. And yes, also (not me, but others) people might have been unemployed prior to getting work, and waiting a month to get your first payment would be quite challenging.

You’re giving off “everyone other than me is stupid” vibes, in which case this rule definitely applies:

If you think everyone else is an arsehole, it’s probably you who are the arsehole.

Not sure why your preference for monthly payments means there must be no other valid reasons for people do have a different opinion… Jesus.

Jesus, where is this?

Okay? Not sure why other people’s pay frequency preferences bother you.

Yes, it’s the same amount of money, and you’re welcome to not care, but there are legitimate reasons for prefering more frequent payments.

You have a nice day, friend.

Have you heard of interest, and investments? Not to mention you don’t get paid until the end of your first month, which could be particularly bad for people who were unemployed prior to getting the job.

Have the money on-hand earlier makes a huge difference.

I’d love to be paid weekly if I could.

Long answer, it’s complicated as usual. Short answer: single member electorates.

Not surprisingly, the senate (our upper house at the federal level) is much more representative than the lower house, because they have very large, multi-member electorates.

If you live in a safe seat, your vote only counts for election funding (last I checked $2ish per 1st preference).

Anyone arguing FPTP is better than ranked choice is stupid or has sinister motives.

I feel like if you make point of sale systems, any time you’re adding negative values, you really ought to make sure you can’t cheese it haha

But I’m so glad they did, thanks for sharing.

Remember in Australia, if you’re persistent enough, you could get this replaced under Australian Consumer Law, if something breaks in an unreasonable amount of time (outside of warranty, even). Considering fridges can easily last for 10 years, anything well within that should be fairly easy (but require many, many emails and threatening to taken them to your local small claims) to get replaced.

That is if you can do without a fridge in the meantime 😅

This is not legal advice.

That’s is so excellent. Good to know QA is non-existent in many facets of life haha

Oh my fucking god. Especially how fucking casual he is after is happens 🙈
