For those who are/travel rural. Telstra has a one year prepaid plan at ~$300 / year; free voice and text with a little bit of data.

I feel like kj would stray into an overly technical area. Cool, yeah, but probably not what people worry about.

A sat fat / cholesterol graph might be interesting as well.

I separate work under capitalism from community directed, individually motivated, anarchially organised work. Hence the first edit.

Learning is a requirement of productivity, productivity cannot exist without learning, therefore learning is productive.

I don't think people have an issue with work, they have an issue with the current state.

Get ready for prohibition era gang warfare

See, I would classify learning for learning's sake to be productive.

And, yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say

That’s what’s so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

As he is not a US citizen he was not able to use the X amendment to free speech.

As a terrorist they could torture and kill him without covering anything up.

He didn't leak, he published.

That's what's so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

If precedent was set they could kidnap anyone from sovereign countries based on US law

And even the things you have achieved are meaningless, people probably didn't like it, and you're still so bad at the NEW THING, why evén get öut ofbed

I appreciate your optimism and it's the correct approach. I think the consensus is it's optimistic.

You'd get bored and want to be productive.

It's just hard to be motivated when burnt out by a company that hates it needs you and forces people to do work in a stupid way without autonomy and the goal of fucking their customers

Edit: I'm referring to post-capitalism, not justifying corporate bullshit

Edit: I have no idea what's going on. Clearly someone doing nothing would do things not to be bored.

No, he is critical of labor with the caviet we can't piss off daddy don USA and so labors position is reasonable.

He has a point, is what it is, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. And I'd prefer a competent government over a coalition of corrupt, idiotic scammers

That would be good. Non binary was rare among the queer community when I was a teen. Already, friends have asked me to chat with their kids who are coming out. I don't have much to say, they're more onto it than I ever was. I was surprised by the number until you mentioned it's more common now

Haha, I agree, he's a mixed bag.

It's nothing you wouldn't be aware of, but it's good to see some awareness raising.

I think medical advancement could be as dramatic this century was in the last. However, patent law is likely to hold us back

Yeah, that's why the Greens opposed prescription. They aren't as subject to the Murdoch media cycle so they're free to point out the issues with criminalisation from an evidence based practice perspective.

So they're looking to defund the vape industry. Likely to allow further changes in the future.

Labor left the legislation open to charge individuals before the Greens pulled them up on it.

At least the Greens prevented a black market from centralising to organised crime, but if they think this is going to stop an online-first generation from accessing vapes they're dreaming.

That's the point of the court ruling right? It recognises the current climate when determining safety and disadvantage, not the past.

It does seem to go against the thought provoking point of a modern art gallery

Ah, so that's what triggered friendlyjordies video yesterday.
