Of course you can keep money in other currencies lol. Of course you won’t be able to spend it in stores that only accept AUD.

Those currencies also aren’t “higher value” than the Aussie dollar. They’re just different currencies, that’s what exchange rates are for.

OP started the personal spat by “preemptively” banning an instance admin from their instance. They can’t be upset when the other admin, who evidently wields a much bigger stick, uses their admin powers in response.

When a mod abuses their power, I don’t really care if another mod abuses their power in retaliation. In fact I think it’s pretty funny.

🤣 YDI. You “preemptively” permanently banned an instance admin, and now you’re crying that they basically did the same thing to you, only they have much more mod/admin power than you by the looks of it.

FAFO at its best. Mods abusing power against other mods, and then crying about it when they are rightfully retaliated against, is just beautiful to see.

Calling for genocide, even of those committing genocide, is still calling for genocide. That’s the point being made.

Genocide is bad no matter who does it. No one should be calling for the genocide if any group of people. Pointing this out isn’t “Zionism”.

Calling for an instant permanent ban in a topic about complaining about instant permanent bans being given. Outstanding.

Not quite - it started with someone derailing a thread about hosting to call people Nazis out of nowhere, and getting banned.

Since then it has essential been more smooth brains doing the same thing and expecting a different result for some bizarre reason.

Did the original guy deserve an instant permanent ban for saying words? Not in my opinion, but I’m in the extreme minority in here because I don’t think anyone should be banned for words. Most here actually want extreme moderation, but only when it’s enforced in the direction they want.

AUD$1 doesn’t equal USD$1, so your logic makes no sense.

Young people can’t really be “unbanked” unless they’re unemployed.

What are you saving even 1% on by paying cash? Dodgy tradies?

You guys are both off in your thinking. Credit card companies didn’t give rewards to get your spending data, they did it to get you spending. If people don’t spend on their credit cards, people don’t get charged large amounts in interest.

With car insurance it’s not about location data, it’s about risk. They’re giving cheaper insurance to smarter EVs that are safer and less likely to be in accidents, because it’s just free money for them.

How can we have energy security by going all-electric when every single piece of hardware in the electric chain is made in China?

We need energy independence, security is a byproduct of that. Every day we go for “net zero” e get further and further away.

Isn’t this the same one that has been found to be about as secure as a wet paper bag within hours of release? You can simply edit a text file in the apps data to remove the pin and face unlock lol
