!rage@aussie.zone have had a couple of submissions which we think are outside the time-range, and I think the rules are clear enough, but we just want confirmation before we disqualify them. (I’m going to put them on our community voting ballot regardless, but I’ll make sure we’re all aware if they can’t be submitted)
I highly recommend reading Manufacturing Consent[wiki]. It’s easy to find free online. It explains how mass media is systematically filtered by five major factors, the first being ownership, which is more and more relevant every year as media outlets consolidate under the ownership of billionaires like Murdoch, Bezos, Musk and Bloomberg, who have very different material class interests to the other 99.99999[…]% of the population.
What a fool, should have played it smart and bought a nuclear submarine instead!
Another day, another media scare.
It’s as if the Liberal Party studied at the US election and forgot to look at how their citizens, and the world for that matter, are reacting afterwards. We know what an efficiency department looks like now.
Exactly. Luckily it tends to get fixed up once it reaches the clouds.

The water here is flipped upside down too. That’s why you sometimes see it written as H2O instead of H2O. In year 9 chemistry class, we had some joker combine water the wrong way and it just splashed down to the ceiling until it evaporated.
If I had five cents for every time I’ve seen a comment talk about ‘weird AI’ and I’ve read it as ‘Weird Al’, I would have ten cents.
It doesn’t help that the original comic says that exact word as the punchline.
Ah thanks, I overlooked it.
aussie.zone, admin takes requests for new communities if we want them.
If anything, I’d rather we leave that one abandoned and make one here where more Aussie users will see it.
Absolutely. Plenty of freely available PDFs and other formats online.
Exactly, for example just look at real cases of people born intersex and try and plot out which of them are ‘more’ or ‘less’ male. [Human] sex isn’t binary and it isn’t an orderable continuum. It’s a complex result of reality and a simple binary model just isn’t realistic.
I’m tired so please correct any mistakes.
If we just take the current count as-is (55% counted, 34 seats decided, 3 in doubt):
19 votes is a majority.
If Labor get all three remaining, they end up with 18 and need any one extra vote to give them a majority.
But if Labor only get two and the other goes to Lib/Nat, only Lib, Nat or the Greens can give them a majority
If Lib+Nat get all three remaining, and if we assume for the sake of example that they always have one nation and aus christians, they still only have 17 and need either Green or Labor for a majority. Greens can also still give Labor a majority in this situation.
If, somehow, one nation, christians or cannabis get all three, they can give Labor a majority without Greens’ help, but can’t give Lib+Nats a majority without Greens.
The bottom line is, in any situation from here, Labor cannot form majority alone, and Labor+Greens will always form majority. However, if Labor are lucky, they could instead form a majority with Legalise Cannabis Australia, or another minor party, rather than Greens. And, obviously, Labor and Liberals can always form a majority on issues they agree on.
Hoarding a scarce, essential resource to make money is villain shit, yes. Get a real job, Margaret.
That said, the real villains are politicians for not outlawing housing investment. Privileged opportunists will do it until it’s illegal.
There arr some great sailing guides on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Alright, thanks for the quick reply!
