I think KDE plasma calls it the meta button. Now that’s ruined too!

Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.

Christian persecution!

It seems like a knock off brand though. He’s notoriously cheap.

The mattel CEO said they won’t be moving production to the USA, but they might move it outside China if the tariffs becomes a big issue.

What this would be, is punishment for protected speech, given corporations are people.

So, although I don’t really care about mattel, as a multi billion dollar corporation, it matters as it is further erosion of people’s rights with little pushback while the constitution becomes more meaningless.

Por que?

By Jiminy, those peasoupers used to enough to turn your bowler black. What, what.

Here in Australia, we have laws against spam texts and so we seem to get much less than America does. Guess who exempted themselves? Politicians. So stupid. They just annoy everyone and it’s not like it helps them to keep it legal. If it’s illegal for them, it’s illegal for their competitors, so it would come out in the wash.

But from them, not others. Right? Right?

I think it’s great that ranked choice voting means we can have a wider range of candidates. What is concerning is that despite a third of the electorate rejecting the major two, they still get majority governments. Maybe we should be looking at proper proportional representation, given voting is required.

Yes, which likely comes from their annual leave. Otherwise, why offer an alternative?

I don’t mind the windows button. It’s effectively a quick way to a run command.

Jokes on them. Catholics believe its no longer wine and wafers. Checkmate fascists.

I found the auspol community on the old site great. It had a real community feel and had deeper discussion of politics than news in general. There is an argument to be made that all news is political, but really, there is more of a focus on political discussion.

I don’t know if there just isn’t enough people here to support the focus, however, I don’t find the duplication or cross posting and issue. Sometimes different angles come up in different communities.

I would think news communities should be topical but the Australia community would not need to be, being open to nostalgia posts or general discussion.

Is there a specific issue you are trying to fix or is the duplication the issue?

Increased prices is inflation. So, yes, I expect them to rise, probably by quite a bit, but I don’t think hyperbole about killing Christmas is helpful.

Alf Family ties

Both were pretty huge at the time but they are not revived or memed. The golden girls is still remembered, but so much unused meme material.

Eventually, they are left holding the bag, so if all the small investors have more chance to get out, all the better.

To be fair, I’m surprised as a parent how cheap most kids toys are. They are a similar price to when I was a child. Obviously, that’s due to cheap labour and globalisation, but I don’t think it’s going to kill Christmas. I’d be much more worried about human rights than inflation.

Same in Australia. It’s just that lots of zombie companies continued to operate through Covid and can’t manage now that costs have increased while the temporary relief and rule laxation cease.

Odd that Irish is listed there as it’s not a Germanic language. It’s Celtic. Hiberno English could be there, but it’s more a dialect than a language.
