I’m just spitballing now but the Government might be implying “you are probably a civilian reading this and deciding when it’s a distress situation is up to military personnel”? No idea, frankly.

The quote is direct from the ANZAC Day Commemoration Commitee: https://anzacday.org.au/the-australian-national-flag

The upside-down thing is not exclusive to the USA flag. Regarding the Australian flag:

To fly a flag upside down is a signal of distress. The Australian National Flag should not, therefore, be displayed with the Union Jack down on any occasion except as a signal of distress.

So it’s kinda displaying an “SOS” when you don’t actually need assistance, I guess?

But as with all symbology, it gets constantly resemantified by the circumstances. Given this article it seems that it’s starting to become a bit of a cooker thing: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-11/upside-down-flags-protest-regional-victorians/106592092

Found an old fluff piece about Damien Costas by MensHealth and it’s superfunny to read it from the future. So much leadership and innovation and smoke.

Thanks!

I get 404.

By “differently” you mean “utterly wrong every time”, right?

It would define “woman” in law as “an adult human biological female”, and “man” as “an adult human biological male”.

Biological female and biological male left conveniently undefined because they can’t find a definition that only discriminates exactly the people they emotionally hate.

I like Unexpected from the F-Droid store but takes a little bit to get used to it.

And half the world has been telling him since 2016.

Respect goes both ways.

“Minga” lol

I think what most people do is to mark the linear path the cars usually take on the square. What I would do is to scroll down to the examples in the wiki, see which one is more similar to the case I’m trying to map, and search it on OSM, click Edit, and see others mapped it.

I mean, we thought we were moving away from Francoism and now we have a quite overtly Francoist party with congressional representation :(

My answer made me think: did you try booting a live ISO to see if it’s your OS?

It’s most probably not the same problem but something similar happened to me a couple of times and entering into the BIOS setup and then back to boot menu from there made it go past the black screen.

Being gay or trans is not the accusation.

Probably because they care more about getting you to click than about what content they offer. You enter thinking you’ll find a culturally/geographically relevant answer to a question only to find something that only applies to the US.

What annoys me the most is that it does it “transparently” and shows up on searches as if the thread was originally written in your language.

I think it’s the style of English language headlines that substitute the “and” for a comma, I find them extremely confusing.
