If anyone is in town there’s also Social Spending, Not War Spending – Protest outside ALP National Conference.

Adelaide is in the grips of a campaign to stop the state government chopping down trees in the Adelaide Parklands to upgrade an existing shared golf course/parkland for LIV Golf (it’s OK though because they promise not to make the land private…), and also in the eastern parklands for Moto GP. It’s inspired a lot of locals to get active in campaigns and politics for the first time.

There are some people you just expect to live forever.

Everyone is focused on body dysmorphia but after reading the article the entire thing sounds like a scam cooked up by the gold industry.

West Papua is included here as part of Indonesia but has been waging an independence campaign for decades.

It is the western part of the island of Papua that you can find on that graphic under the island of Palau.

A recent documentary on the occupation and colonisation of West Papua made by sympathetic Indonesian film makers:

Pig Feast: Colonialism In Our Times.

I’m on voyage atm and don’t see post text for that reason. So I cannot see if this part has been included there:

But Justice Graeme Hill ruled that Mr Gillham’s concert was not scrapped because of his political beliefs.

Rather, it was to “address the anticipated adverse impacts” of the pianist’s comments on the orchestra’s business and reputation, he ruled.

Fucking weasel argument.

I thought the title referred to this? If not, what does the title mean?

I admire your composure, knowledge and patience.

Is this something that can be easily taught? Could you teach us how to do this?

I found my goto karaoke song.

I got fucked up by a paralysis tick. My throat swelled to the point I almost could not breathe. Was staying with friends in a remote rural area. Emergency services said It was too far to bother sending an ambulance. My friends were given a phone number to call if I stopped breathing. They would be instructed on how to give me a tracheotomy if that happened. Luckily for me it didn’t.

Protecting homophobes?

Maybe I should have said ‘before cats indoors 24/7 was common’.

A long time ago before cats indoors was common, I adopted the kitten of a flatmates cat. We worked out the mother was bringing home wildlife home to train the kitten to hunt. So we started to bring them in during for the night earlier, around late afternoon.

The mother cat worked out what was going on, decided to go catch frogs and other wildlife earlier in the day and keep them alive in her mouth until we went to bed so that she could release them alive later that night. She must have been holding them in her mouth for many hours on occasion.

Laura Fryer’s YouTube takes provide some interesting insider insight into that era.

I’m now imagining Tim in the roles of Smeagol and Gollum. Leave now and never come back!

The OS requires an online login?

What do you mean by ‘anything changed’? I only ask because I installed the AIO and haven’t had an issue. Admittedly we’re only using it for file sharing, the defaults were pretty much left as is. Does it tend to shit the bed the more non-default stuff is enabled or installed?

For real?

If you had any interest in the people that hang out here you would know that’s not the case.

I don’t see any evidence so far that you’re not a bot. Everyone here might disagree with me about that, but at least they’d be confident to say I’m not a bot. It’s the simple things, like posting a photo of a funny poster I saw, or sharing a link to a TV show I just watched and thought was OK. If the Swans make it to finals I might event post something about it this year. Maybe, been burned many times in the past 14 years though.

I think a lot people here might be hard pressed to say for sure that you’re not a bot. As far as I can see, you only post about two issues from generally the same sources. China and Ukraine.

Why not just say where your interest in these topics comes from?

I don’t need to call them out. They aren’t spamming this instance with pro-China talking points. If they were they’d be called out by more regulars than just me. Why do you care what Australian’s think about China so much?
