It’s shit like this that makes me want to never use another Google app or service.

What possible justification is there for storing history of calculations in a calculator app?

The Australian health system thinks walking, being able to work and living without pain isn’t a priority, in the next week we’ll have been on the waiting list for a year.

The global opiate crisis has created a situation where normal Australians in acute or chronic pain can no longer access pain management. The crazy thing is, due to strict prescribing guidelines we never really had the kind of problems that were seen in the USA, yet we have made doctor petrified to prescribe where there is genuine pain.

2 years on a waiting list is a very long time to try and get on with life in serious pain, and I’m very sorry that you are dealing with this. I know it can be difficult to carve out the time and money, but if you can push hard to see a pain management specialist you might have more luck. There are synthetic options that can be taken long term whilst you await your specialist appointment/ surgery but you have to PUSH. Visit the ER daily until you get an outcome if you can’t afford to buy your way in.

This country is under attack and every single person that buys into the lie of private healthcare drives another nail into our coffin.

All the time. I could have typed a multi-paragraph masterpiece but then I realise I can’t be bothered offering help in a world full of people that know everything about everything and are never wrong.

You nailed it. Users cannot be trusted to not re-use login credentials.

I know we all hate it, but proper 2-factor authentication via authenticator apps must be the default position for everything.

Seems like a fair and reasonable response to a cartoon.

The religion of peace strikes again.

This would involve successfully finding a wall stud to install on and the use of power tools. With the information OP has revealed about themselves, that seems like a recipe for a broken TV and half a wall ripped out or a trip to the ER. Of course it will be the fault of the drill manufacturer and they might sue.

all labor is prostitution

Pleased to meet you, comrade.

Prostitution is a very hard job.

You better be quiet before you summon the bears.

Is an actor paid for their labour? No. They are paid to emote, so that it can be commodified and sold for profit. Human emotion for sale. It’s prostitution.

I’ve been wanting these guys to chill for over 20 years. They have no chill. I’ve read so many takes on what it is they actually want, and why they keep seizing power. It seems the actual answer is that they just want power. Plain and simple.

Acting is emotional prostitution at best, and actual prostitution at worst. If you aren’t comfortable with that, then don’t get in a relationship with an actor. No point burning your relationship down later because you suddenly don’t like the context of that prostitution.

Jonah Hill really is a piece of shit. I’m glad my gut instinct was to fall into a bottomless pit of cringe every time he appears on screen. I could never stand that fat little toad.

I don’t understand how they can possibly put Biden forward again. He’s well past losing his marbles. Way too old to run imo. It’s disgraceful.

That’s generally how it’s used in Australia. There will be an existing suburb named ‘generic suburb’, and developers will come and build a new housing development full of cookie cutter houses on 300m2 blocks with their gutters near touching eachother and call it ‘generic suburb heights’ as an attempt to give the schmucks that buy there some sort of feeling of prestige over the older neighbourhood with larger block sizes and more human compatible dwellings.

Other guy in here nailed it with the British origins but for some reason he’s been downvoted.

To be clear, is he in hot water over what he said about the ADL? Or the fact that Nazi’s are proliferating on his platform and advertisers don’t like it?

I feel your frustration. I played New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2009) on an emulator recently and then New Super Mario Bros. 2 (2012). They’ve literally been selling the same game over and over again for full price for 15 years.

I guess I just take this in another direction. I don’t yearn for some new fangled mario with better graphics, I just accept that I’m not going to pay for the same product over and over again.

You clearly feel a lot more strongly about this than I do.

Life is too short to play bad games. Mario wonder wasn’t a bad game for me.

If your gripe is more with nintendo’s increasingly poor value proposition, predatory consumer practices and litigious bullshit then there’s more of a conversation to be had. I’d suggest your best revenge tools at this point are called Yuzu and Ryujinx.

Perhaps I’m missing the point here. What’s wrong with Mario wonder?

3D Mario games have all sucked imo. It’s a game that works best in 2D.

Not a bad idea with the kayaks. I just bought a couple of old style geoff barker kayaks/ canoes from an old bloke who does that as a hobby. The old style fibreglass kayaks really lend themselves to easy and quality repair jobs. I felt like we both got a win out of the sale.

They’re pretty fun on the water compared to my old plastic behemoths. So easy to load and unload and takes almost zero energy input to paddle. Bloody easy to tip them over though!
