I wonder whether there’ll be this much outage when Jillian Assange is sentenced to decades in prison in the US.
Looks like we have a movement then. Only small, so far, but …
I’m just wondering if we could substitute our current monarchy for the Danish one. Maybe if a Danish naval officer lands at Sydney Cove and plants a flag there? This has a precedent I believe.
I honestly don’t know what happened there.
Cancel culture exemplified.
There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried
Can I have source?
EDIT: Don’t worry, found it

Actually, that was a postal survey, before a parliamentary vote. Not a binding referendum.

FWIW I’ll be voting Yes, but I doubt it will do much good.
Referendums never succeed in this country, unless they have bipartisan support. So what was the point of this exercise? What’s Albanese’s angle in all of this?
I had no idea that this was going on. I expect that, like me, most people are horrified.
On the top of my head, I’d say a trust-level system would be great, both for instances and users. New instances and users start out on a low trust level. Posts and commemts federated by them could be set to require approval or get deranked compared to other posts and comments.
Good thinking, but devil’s advocate here: might make it difficult for new users to post anything. I can imagine a lot of communities would utilise that feature, maybe even the majority.
Surprised to know they even had an account there in the first place.
Problem is that these Americans talk. A lot.
The grim reaper in Monty Python wasn’t just whining. The struggle is real.
Yeah it’s interesting to think what our world would be like if there were more than one surviving species of genus homo.
Some of us consider homosapiens with different colour skin to be intrinsically different for some reason. What if there were individuals around who were different again?
It’s interesting, I’ll give it that. But considering that police have investigated and found nothing illegal, how is this anyone else’s business?
Such people obviously need help.
For best results, in any online community, it is wise to read the rules before you contribute
Well if you read my post, sometimes it’s not just a question of reading the rules - you have to literally study them. Sometimes they are voluminous, and contain caveats.
Interestingly, the US conservatives have been attacking lab-grown meat lately. So expect similar attacks to start showing up here soon.
I recall reading a few years ago that the National Farmers Fed were lobbying the Coalition govt to legislate the definition of meat. IIRC this was in response to plant based just substitutes, but they probably also had lab meat in mind as well. I can’t find source on this though.
I want to know if this Vow company uses Fetal Bovine Serum in its cell growth process. Last I read, there were alternatives being developed, but I don’t know how advanced they are now.
I would only have a reason to try this stuff if it’s genuinely slaughter free.
This wouldn’t surprise me at all, if it almost entirely be rental scooters.
Here in Adelaide, they have these rental scooters lining the sidewalks on the nightlife strips - on the weekend!
This seems to me to be almost criminally negligent. What do they think young people are going to do with these things, while drunk? They are going to ride them, while drunk, and they are going to have accidents, of course. Because they’re drunk.
I like the rental scooters, as they’re a great way of getting round the city when you’re in a hurry, but they should shut them down on the weekend evenings, FFS.
