I don't like it, when you change the bag colour about

I don't like it, when you vote One Nation out

“People should have choice,” she says. “If you want to eat bad foods, if you want to have fluoride, if you want to have, let’s say, vaccines, then you choose that. But there should be no coercion, bullying, bribery. It needs to be a choice.”

Ah, letting the anti-vax sentiment slip a little there..

Regardless of that, I don't understand how putting fluoride into drinking water is coercive, bullying or bribing behaviour. We are already treating drinking water with other chemicals like chlorine, should we stop that too so that Queenslanders have a choice and aren't bullied or coerced into drinking healthy water?

Yes, while I have the MBA running macOS, I have my trusty X260 with Linux for everything I don't need macOS for. I absolutely love both the size and thickness of it - the keyboard is good, the nub is good, it's a comfortable, rugged laptop with a dual battery setup.

I wish decently powerful small laptops would make a return. I dearly love my 11" MacBook Air and I'm still astounded I can even somewhat use it today for various research and office work, but it could seriously do with an M1 chip and 16GB of memory.

You know how there's those large burials that happen sometimes? What would you call a place where lots of deceased humans are buried?

Quite low, as it turns out. Linked at the end of this article was this depressing read of Trump supporters saying "Get over it."

There's always more to the story than what a news article and lawsuit will give, so I think it's best to keep that in mind with this post.

I maintain that the parents should perhaps have been more perceptive and involved with this kid's life, and ensuring this kid felt safe to come to them in times of need. The article mentions that the kid was already seeing a therapist, so I think it's safe to say there were some signs.

However, holy absolute shit, the model fucked up bad here and it's practically mirroring a predator here, isolating this kid further from getting help. There absolutely needs to be hard coded safeguards in place to prevent this kind of ideation even beginning. I would consider it negligent that any safeguards they had failed outright in this scenario.

I know it probably wasn't your intention, but thank you for making my day with this comment, and for doing your part for the fucking birds.

You misinterpreted what I said in that initial comment, asked if I was hallucinating, and when I clarified this misinterpretation, you proceeded to skip over anything I had said beyond the first link.

You are not giving any valid counter arguments to what I said in my original comment (in fact detracting from the original point of this whole thread by speculating you hurt my feelings?), this is why I believe you are acting in bad faith.

It's clear you're acting in bad faith at this point - you've completely skipped over anything else I said in my original comment.
