I’m pretty sure the actual penis size doesn’t factor here. It’s the self-perceived size.

Dude has an inferiority complex & tries to compensate.

I doubt OP is intending to forgo renting entirely.

I’m studying a couple of languages that don’t have English as the native tongue. They provide no grammar notes.

The ones with native English do, but accessing it is not intuitive since you have to go to the Units view.

Red tape.

You’ve made a couple of assumptions about me. That I’m not dealing with it, that I’m not housing migrant families. I’m not one of the people running this shelter, sure. But for all you know I could be running a similar shelter elsewhere.

Of course money doesn’t appear out of thin air: it comes from the people, from the taxes we pay as subscription to a functioning society. I happily pay my taxes and would pay more: I vote for higher taxes and exensions to social policy so we can look after people like this. I advocate for social conscience that wasn’t exhibited in the described action.

How often does the …senate? vote on a federal funding bill, and why does the last one expire? Why isn’t there some default level of funding for federal spending?

It is my policy to treat people as human beings regardless of their immigration status.

In my country the checkbox must be for opt-in. And it must start off unchecked.

I understand the electric bit is cheaper and more efficient in city traffic while the fossil bit is more supported over long distance travel.

It seems intended for the teething stage where the charging point infrastructure isn’t rolled out extensively enough for pure EV usage, and public transport doesn’t do the thing.

I see a risk in complacency where the final steps aren’t taken of rolling out charging points and buffing transit because hybrids are “good enough”. Probably not a massive risk though as fossil’s stigma grows and fuel prices rise.

I find brutalism beautiful. Wish we could have more of it in my country but solid concrete, especially preformed, performs poorly under shear.

It’s gotten so “brutalist” is almost synonymous with “earthquake-prone”.

I wonder what gun ownership would look like in 20 or 30 years if right now were enacted (and not thereafter repealed) a countrywide prohibition on advertising of guns & ammo, and on showing any firearms before the watershed and at any time in G- and PG-rated media.

Putting aside the reality that this could never happen because of frozen peaches and strawmen on slippery slopes, I strongly suspect it would do a lot to curb the fetishisation of firearms.

When I hover over the pipedbot’s link it looks like it goes to piped. But yeah, misleading link text.

Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.

One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.

I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.

When I’m in the zone, my heart rate slows, as do my breathing rate and rate of blinking. I forget about hunger, thirst, sleep, toilet, and all other problems. The only thing in the world is the thing I’m working on. Time passes unnoticed. Afterwards it all comes crashing back.

I get that when I swipe up, but not down. Maybe it’s a different launcher thing. I’m using Lawnchair.

On an A32 4G if I’m on homescreen I can swipe down anywhere to open notifications drawer.

If I’m in an app though yeah, it’s top or nothing

Not in Australia, but good suggestion in some other countries!

I see the block of the birth certificates as being ostensibly in support of the prohibition of this practice, but I can also very well see the underlying intent as being anti- same-sex-parenting.

Further, I don’t understand why the practice should be prohibited in the first place.

So I disagree with it, but on the other hand I also disagree with it. Am just a filthy foreigner though so other than this comment I’ll keep it to myself.

I suspect the ban on disposable vapes will have some effect.

So would an age limit on nicotine-containing product purchases, but there’s less unanimity on the need for that.

Nah it’s been years since I was charged fees for eftpos.

Paywave though, the vendors are getting shafted for that since it’s credit. So of course they’ll pass it on
