Oh, I see our one-man self-appointed ‘content curation’ team has arrived for the afternoon shift.
Hi, erm, Faulty?
“Biden’s fuel tweet has had the twitter “further context” tag added.”
Even better – the tweet they had on “biggest social security increase in decades” had the fact-check that this was due to CPI indexation, so therefore the result of inflation and nothing to do with the admin itself.
They deleted the tweet.
And are now being asked why they shouldn’t be sued over destruction of public records.
“Oh, the ironing!”
Yes, it has a distinct flavour of Faulty about it.
Variously reported, but I’ve seen four counts of sexual intercourse without consent in one report.
It’s all about creating more clients for the “care” sector and voluntarily giving up your rights (e.g., being cajoled into “mental illness” to end gun ownership and anything else regulation/prohibition fetishists find resistance to).
Bucketloads of common sense, shame everything is going the other way. Why teachers quit, entitlement:

I heard there is a 150% teacher turnover every five years in US schools.
Matched by the self-appointed one-man ‘inquisitor’ always on duty to reframe another’s comment into a meaning it clearly did not have.
Already has reframed someone as “Faulty” – standard union meeting ploy to discredit an incisive comment.
Based on recent cases, the Sri Lankan chap better be prepared for 2 years in Australia.
Sure.
Half of Sri Lanka will be trying to work out how to emulate him.
Australia insisting a Sri Lankan stay beyond the term of his visa – a dream come true for lotsa Sri Lankans.
Needs only one accomplice, a rich white lady with a hankering for Sri Lankan kransky. Too-bluddee-easy.
In two hours.
That lets me out as a suspect.
🙁
Possibly, KD – from what I can gather he’s always been an incoherent imbecile, but appears to have hit a new low after “the stroke” (if it actually happened).
The end result is the same. The dumbocrats are running a candidate for the senate who is incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together and who is incapable of understanding what people are saying. I’d assume his reading comprehension would be somewhat suspect as well.
Which in many ways makes him a perfect candidate, especially given his domineering wife.
Apropos of m0nty-fa not wanting to see another world war to defeat anti-Semitism/Nazism, it seems like only a couple of weeks ago he was wanting, even demanding, a war against Wussian imperialism. The minor detail that such a war would end up as a nuclear world war didn’t seem to concern him.
“We don’t pursue youth drivers as we don’t want to cause any alarm – there’s nothing worse than a crash.”
Crashes typically seem to be auto-correct.
I don’t know if Fuckerberg has a controlling interest in Meta. If he doesn’t, I find it difficult to believe he will be able to survive a 75% stock decline, 1000’s of job losses and remain Meta CEO. If he doesn’t hold a large stake he’s likely to be gonsky.
JC, he has golden shares.
My moral philosophy is to kill people I find stupid. So according to him that’s okay. What a maroon.
Lord Lucan still alive and living near Brisbane?
he holds the majority of voting stock
Next shoe to drop should be Amazon with mass layoffs. I suspect a lot of large firms will be heading their own way in terms of cloud support and Amazon, I think, is the largest or one of the largest cloud service providers. Data breaches are a huge concern now, which likely means you take care of your own stuff and don’t farm it out.
Also their online sales would have seen a drop-off since the covid lockdowns.
As for Google, it may see job losses , and they have a hiring freeze, but they’re likely to be well cushioned as I think it’s the best run of the lot.
Does he? Then the stock heads lower. 🙂
British coppers finally getting off arses?
The leader of Just Stop Oil was arrested for reportedly planning large-scale blockades to bring traffic to a stand-still on the M25 today.
Roger Hallam, 56, and two other eco-activists were taken in for questioning by Met police last night, The Sun reported.
Mr Hallam was not at home when the police raided his property to arrest him, but they later said he had been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance.
The eco-group carried out an entire month of action over October and were planning daily action until Christmas.
Mr Hallam, who also co-founded Extinction Rebellion said: ‘It’s potentially the most significant act of civil disobedience in decades.’

Bern, then loss of confidence can be expressed through a huge stock tanking then?
Tesla has one class of share, meaning shareholders can give Elon the boot if they want.
Even if 100% of Meta non-voting shares moved against Zuckerberg, it means nothing.
Isn’t there a 30% turnover in Aus schools Arky. I saw that figure somewhere recently. Maybe its was only 30% of new graduates but even that is pretty high.
I think Atlassian has a similar structure with the Messiah twins holding the voting stock.
The others sort of hold non-voting preference shares … without the preference.
Daytime Sky is taking a dim view about Musk laying off Twitter staff, and seems happy with the activists pressuring advertisers to “wait until his plans for twitter are made clear”.
The previous management certainly made their modus operandi clear, and it was no problemo for our mostly left leaning media. No concern there at all.
would someone let monty know that there is a spare place in the guillotine queue for 4:30.
we should be able to squeeze him in.
But he already has no dick.
Also in: Clickbait headlines, have they gone too far…
And what’s wrong with that? When she puts the leathers on and gets out the whip. Oops, did I just say that out loud.
Inflation adjusted, it took Apple $US1.4bill to get the first iphone to market.
Apple has then funded each iteration of the iphone from that divisions cash flow.
That is enormous discipline.
Compare that to Meta who has ripped up $US25bill on this metaverse adventure to date.
Zero discipline.

LOL. Until last week modus operandi was fine with thousands of “rape Melania” tweets, pictorial jokes of the aftermath of decapitation political leaders, etc.

Myocarditis, good news
Dr. John Campbell
Conclusions
Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with myocarditis (aHR 1.08)
Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with pericarditis (aHR 0.53)
We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
On their ABCcess his morning had professor McGorrie (?) the mental health chap.
Government banked on a 25% increase in mental illness as a result of the Covid depredations.
They ended up with a 50% increase.
Think about that for a moment.
In order to “save” people from the flu x 2 they knowingly and willingly caused tens of thousands of cases of mental illness.
Forgive and forget?
Nyet.
What’s the deal with Atlassian? I hadn’t heard of their software products before reading of their stock price slump. How did they come to be valued so highly? Do they cater to high margin niche industries or is it a case of the market realising the promise it saw failing to materialise?
Teal wrangling pays well.
Teals’ record cash splash revealed by electoral commission
James Massola
The top 10 biggest-spending independent candidates at the 2022 federal election splashed $11.5 million on their political campaigns, which delivered a record number of lower house crossbench MPs.
The Australian Electoral Commission on Monday published its disclosure returns for candidates, Senate groups and election donors, which largely covers independent MPs, as well as details of donations to political candidates.
Allegedly big-Spender racked up 2 mill.
Isn’t that what they accused Trump of with
HunterianRussian hookers?Hang on.
Never mind.
But Zuckerberg is a very strange fellow. He always seems to be mimicking what humans do without understanding why they do it.
As mentioned upthread, this is a ‘drinks on Wednesday, scrumpy on Saturday’ arrangement.
Injured players in the squad are NOT excused from attending team meetings or training sessions, let alone matches. They have to be there, in the gear, and seen to be supporting the players as part of the broader playing group, representing their country etc.
Sri Lanka didn’t play a match on 2 November, which was the Wednesday drinkies. It’s therefore wildly plausible that he ran the ‘I have to see my Auntie from the old country’ line.
On Saturday 5 November though, Sri Lanka played England at the SCG. A day-nighter, as well. Given that you don’t get leave passes for matches, especially not for the swipe-right variety – whether or not this went the way the lady tells it, that dude is in a whole pile of hurt.
Why is Mark Zuckerberg rich? Because he knew how to write HTML code at the dawn of the internet age.
His only skill is feeding HTML code into a computer and, having cornered that opportunity, he thought up an idea called Spacechook that capitalised on children’s desire to make themselves the centre of their universe, also known as narcissism.
To pay for the idea, he turned it into a data-mining operation without the knowledge of its users.
Zuckerberg has no skills apart from his ability to write HMTL code a and inventing a highly unethical business plan to steal personal information from Spacechook users.
Spacechook required no business skills or ethics. That he has behaved like an undisciplined teenager should come as no surprise.
W.S. He’s setting them up for the next demarkation line – $1024/month but only if you are Secret Squirrel Cleared.
Hes playing the longer game.
How much do you think the IDs of those who paid $15,000 to be on twatter are worth to Nigerian scammers?

Zuck’s Metaverse has to be one of the dumbest ideas around. But he seems to have oriented the entire company around it going forward. Probably a good thing. Meta is a sinister company. If it goes the way of AOL, the world would be a better place.
As long as they stay in their underground echo chamber, I don’t see much of a problem.
Also LOL at a Cat complaining about an echo chamber… on the Cat (echo echo echo).
I can’t recall who it was -perhaps Google etc. One or a few large tech firms blocked Facebook’s access to private data and the rest is history. I suspect the Metaverse bullshit was an attempt to move past that. He tried but it’s now deadsky.
Oh, right. It offers work-from-home platforms, and the gloss is coming off the whole wfh phenomenon.
I’m all for closing my eyes and gunning g it when these loons shut down roads but ‘suspicion’ of planning a future crime is a rather low bar that will hurt ‘enemies of the state’ like myself in the future.
I can’t recall who it was -perhaps Google etc. One or a few large tech firms blocked Facebook’s access to private data and the rest is history
It was Apple.
Work from home destroys productivity. Low productivity means lower real incomes and it can’t be any other way. Unless this shit turns around, GDP growth in the West is going to be a fraction of what it was.
If people choose to work from home income has to reflect the partial drop in productivity.
Apple, Google (Alphabet) & Microsoft all control their ecosystems.
fb (Meta) does not.
That’s why the bet on this metaverse idea, to create a fake ecosystem that they control.
Work from home destroys productivity.
It sure does.
Most staff need be in a room together to learn from each other.
Bezos was photographed on NYE in a silly shirt with his arm around his mistress looking like Kirk Van Houten from the Simpsons. Apart from that, I haven’t heard that he or the company have make many dud moves.
Doubt it, overall consumer demand has been strong and online is only growing. Part of the problem with supply chain bottlenecks is overheated post-COVID demand.
Vanguard, Blackrock and Fidelity, behind the public front companies, own EVERYTHING (media, business, independent fact checkkers, everything. This is how they coordinate all the scams ,eg the Vax campaign.
As long as they stay in their underground echo chamber, I don’t see much of a problem.

https://www.thefire.org/news/blogs/eternally-radical-idea/would-censorship-have-stopped-rise-nazis-part-16-answers
A 1922 law passed in response to violent political agitators such as the Nazis permitted Weimar authorities to censor press criticism of the government and advocacy of violence. This was followed by a number of emergency decrees expanding the power to censor newspapers. The Weimar Republic not only shut down hundreds of Nazi newspapers — in a two-year period, they shut down 99 in Prussia alone — but they accelerated that crackdown on speech as the Nazis ascended to power. Hitler himself was banned from speaking in several German states from 1925 until 1927.
In this 1920s cartoon by Philipp Rupprecht, Hitler is depicted as having his mouth sealed with tape that reads “forbidden to speak.” The text beneath this image reads, “He alone of two billion people on Earth may not speak in Germany.”
Far from being an impediment to the spread of National Socialist ideology, Hitler and the Nazis used the attempts to suppress their speech as public relations coups. The party waved the ban like a bloody shirt to claim they were being targeted for exposing the international conspiracy to suppress “true” Germans. As one poster explained:
Why is Adolf Hitler not allowed to speak? Because he is ruthless in uncovering the rulers of the German economy, the international bank Jews and their lackeys, the Democrats, Marxists, Jesuits, and Free Masons! Because he wants to free the workers from the domination of big money!
Levin: This election is about confronting left-wing Marxists
Yes, I believe you’re right – I think it was both Google and Apple that ratfucked Zuck by blocking some key source fb products used to mine user data off of hand-held devices. Some computer nerd will know more about it than me.
Not that anyone should thank Google or Apple – they’re both as creepy as hell, and deliberately hoover up so much personal data about individual users to know them better than they know themselves. They just cut Zuck out of the action.
Apple is, I think, the creepiest of them all. It monitors its users more forensically than any other big tech company. Why would it do this? Its business model isn’t reliant on selling the data it collects, unlike Google. Well…there is one shadowy 3rd party with the deepest pockets of all that could be Apple’s only customer for its data.
The view has now done the rounds a few times so who knows who originated it, but Meta would have been better off buying one of the games developers/platforms & housing it’s metaverse bet in that.
It would have leveraged existing ecosystems instead of what their doing.
We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
Does this lay the uptick in incidence of pericarditis and myocarditis at the feet of vaxes?
Correct – like I said before, they were in power in 1933 with absolute power in 1934.
monty, let this be a teaching moment.
Apple is, I think, the creepiest of them all.
Apple Health is revolutionary.
Will bankrupt the private health insurance market.
My understanding is that MS platforms are the best for privacy purposes as they need to be capable of running on huge networks with high levels of network admin control. The kinds of data-collection features built into iOS and Android that can’t be disabled would be deal-breakers for MS’s biggest clients.
Speaking of Apple Health, I checked my resting heart rate and it was 82-83.
I’ve been drinking a coffee for the last 20mins and now it’s up to 94.
OCO, I think it’s also that Microsoft don’t collaborate with other parties to the extent that Apple and Google do.

Are those BDS idiots at it again? My waistline still hasn’t recovered from the last round of support I gave for Max Brenner in 2011.
And I got a thank you from those nice young soldiers for the pizzas but I’ve lost the card in my travels…
If the BDS are setting up for another go, just put a link via Catallaxy Files and I’m sure we will use it as an excuse for more chockies.
Speaking with people who have worked in many start up ecosystems, they viewed the M12 (Microsoft) ecosystem as the hardest but most rewarding to work in.
You lot read this and conclude that we really need to hear the Nazis out this time. Oh dear.
Yes, German leaders severely underestimated the Nazis. We needn’t make the same mistake again with the benefit of hindsight.
Sancho Panzer:
All of them.
Opposing oppression is not anti-Semitic.
Israel does not oppress anyone; and in fact supports the rights of dickless, fat turds.
It’s just one more piece in the puzzle for total centralised control. You don’t think this will be synced with Apple Pay? Remember that ‘computer says no’ skit? Well, this is how you get ‘computer says no’ for real. Sorry, you can’t purchase that red meat product – your blood pressure has been too high over the past month.
Also, put that full strength slab back in the fridge. Based on your calculated alcohol consumption rate, you will be exceeding the healthy daily standard drinks intake if you purchase that at this time. You can swap it for a low-carb midstrength if you like. For your reference, here are the dates when you will be permitted to purchase the following kinds and quantities of alcoholic beverages…
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine what could be done by controlling what you spend to ensure you maintain a healthy lifestyle. But I’m sure they’d never go down that path – give big tech open access to your most private and sensitive information. I’m sure they won’t misuse it, and imagine the convenience!
Bruce O’Newk:
Should you save a dying stranger if you know they eat MEAT? Oxford philosopher controversially argues that it can be ethical to let them die because of the suffering they cause to animals (and he’s not even a vegan!)

This is how Extermination Camps for humans get their start.

The overall risk of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – is substantially higher immediately after being infected with COVID-19 than it is in the weeks following vaccination for the coronavirus, a large new study in England shows

No we are stating it would be better for good debaters of whatever stripe expose and ridicule the stupidity of nazi ideals over and over again.
Let them have their shitty soapbox and try and defend their shitty ideas.
Better to have a withered appendage of a ‘BUF” than censorship.
Dunno about you mole, but I am tired of talking to them and about them. Do we have to defeat them every damn day? How much is enough? They never stop unless they are stopped. That already happened in 1945. Do we have to go over and over it?

When it comes to anything vaxx-related, “it’s even worse than you think” has pretty much universal application.

None of what is described there is in any way special, and from various Cats with exposure to Atlassian and similar products, it doesn’t seem to have any particular whizz-bang smarts over and above it’s competitors.
They have oversold the “collaboration” bullshit to death at board and CEO level.
A little parable about collaboration.
I used to work for a large global project management and engineering firm. Some bright spark came up with the idea that any of the 40,000 employees worldwide could message a project team with an idea for their project.
40,000 brains are better than one, right?
Project staff had, as part of their bonus KPIs, a requirement to respond within 48 hours.
Except it meant that the HR chick in Sydney could message project staff in Canada, Kenya or the Pilbara about how she read on Mamamia that gender diversity improves project performance by 15% and what were they doing about it.
This resulted in us losing several highly sought after PMs after they refused to sign on to that KPI.
After six months the scheme was gonski.
I think this is what Atlassian “collaboration” means.

You really are a turkey voting for Christmas.
Thanks Cats for all the comments on the VW contretemps. Lots of food for thought. In retrospect, I jumped the gun in the re-sale. Rather than accepting the dealer’s despicable trade-in valuation for a new Golf, I ended up selling the Passat wagon through Car Sales for considerably more.
And…a young Central Coast family got a beautiful, low mileage vehicle for a bargain price.

You and your ilk read that statement and say “How can we debate these fascists, and defeat them in the court of public opinion, when the public can see clearly that the gap between us and the Nazis is millimetres wide.”
Mother Lode:
Good description.
Which means opportunistic dealers were just suppressing trade-in prices and John Citizen didn’t give a rats.
The biggest factor running against re-sale now is the price of diesel. The differential between diesel and ULP has flipped over the last ten years.

Change the date to 2022, and normal people could say the same about communists. You know, the ones who started mass murder before the Nazis, and continued it long after the Nazis were defeated, even unto the present day. And you and your ilk utter not a word of condemnation,
Now bugger off and enlist for the (nuclear world) war against Wussian imperialism that you were demanding, before you went all pacifist.
PS, how many Nazis have you met face to face to talk to them, and teach them reality?

Lysander, result should start coming in after 7am Perth time or so. That’s when polls close.
Amazing what you find in links:
Lord Lucan aside, about halfway down Top Ender’s linked article, is a reproduction of the front page, 12th November 1974, The Daily Mail.
Beside the Lord Lucan story is a large photograph accompanying a story of an actress being sacked from a Broadway play Love for Love on the first night.
Sacked was Scots actress Mary Ure, whom some may remember as the hotter than ten pistols female lead in Where Eagles Dare.
She was the wife of Robert Shaw, likely remembered by many here for being the ‘mark’ in The Sting, & the panzer officer in Battle of the Bulge, and the shark fisherman in Jaws (3rd man in the scene with Richard Dreyfus & Roy Schieder “we’re gonna need a bigger boat”.)
Why was she sacked?
The cover story reported in the article is she “didn’t communicate with the audience”
She lived only another Five months, drinking herself to death & making sure of by getting drunk & overdosing.
Cats may draw their own conclusion as to why she was sacked.
The at the time insignificant twist: Her role in Love for Love was taken over by the understudy, described in The Daily Mail as “a 22 year old college student”
Glenn Close.
Total mystery.

Much like the dickhead specter of Communism, the “war” (in debate terms) is never over.
Once you cease the war of words you are left with what idiots do, repression, censorship and a spiral into ever ratcheting up surveillance and punishment.
Far better to keep having the argument over and over.
The “right” after Regan made the terrible mistake of thinking once Commie Russia was cactus and all its awful shit was exposed no-one would be stupid enough to hanker after it. So it was no longer necessary to debate/ridicule and make odious the ideas of communitards. Which led to rebrandings and repackaging of shit ideas. (largely under the green banner)
There are pockets of sub-normals who simultaneously think repression of their enemies by any means is legitimate, and also think it cant be used against them by those enemies.

I’m not insulting head prefect enough: that always gets the crowds in.
So what is Monty saying? That the arguments of the Nazis were so convincing and unanswerable that the only defence against them is never to hear them?
Or is he conceding that having a government control what is not reported, what is, and how it is reported (a la Goebbels) is a surefire way to find yourself trapped in a Nazi headlock?
I wonder what we should do about communists and socialists, whose headcount sadly dwarves that of the Nazis and is still being added to even to this day?
Between this:
And this:
Perhaps Monty should watch this:
Are we the baddies?
Not sure that headcount works in this case. Dozers in forests and all that.

As for them telling it straight with no bullshit?
Spare me.
And their software being “close to an essential service”?

Their letter to shareholders was fucking pure unadulterated tripe. Not one number or a hint of a plan throughout the whole thing. Just cliches like “headwinds” and “we’ve toughed it out before” and “shake up the leaderboard”.

Um?
Not promoting Nazism, Dover, just that which Monty labels as Nazism…which could be damned near anything, certainly everything he doesn’t agree with.

Because extreme mongnitude of saying free speech is equal to supporting nazis needs to be smacked around and not left as a Montyfact*
*Not a fact.
So, is a Nazi someone who has joined the Nazi party and actually killed people? Or is it used as a synonym for people with a morbid fascination in that event in history and just talks big? Or some skinhead who needs to think his skin colour makes him important because without that belief he will be stuck with the fact he isn’t.
How many people that you call Nazis have perpetuated the evil deeds that you use to justify punching them? Is it guilt by association?
My suspicion is that, if Monty were to take a swing at a neo-Nazi or a skinhead, it would not go well for him. They do seem a physical lot to compensate for their lack of cerebral heft, and with hair-trigger tempers. They might not be able to count past 2, but they can beat people up. (I am sure Monty would agree with that characterisation.) So, if someone with the physique of the Michelin Man when his tyres are down to about 2 psi were to take a swing at one of these brutish savages – what does anyone think the final outcome would be.
Why would you engage someone in a physical contest if you think their weakness (and your supremacy) resides in the intellectual? Once they win and you lose on their terms, you still have to try to contest with them on yours, but by then six of your teeth are already in the gutter and anyone watching would see you as just desperately trying for ‘best out of three’.
What person confident in the moral and intellectual truth of their convictions would opt for a physical confrontation.
I think someone here is a moronic thug posing as an intelligent person but instinctively resorting to their moronic thuggish nature.

Not sure that is it.

Why are you jumping in to defend JHM?
This one’s for West Australian Cats. Good riddance….

Not sure what evidence you are using to make this conclusion, but I haven’t seen much of it.
Modern neo-Nazis are mostly weedy Anglo-Saxon untermenschen with delusions of grandeur. That’s often why they become neo-Nazis, because they have literally nothing else going for them except their skin colour.
Remember when a bunch of them got sprung in a van in Idaho near a pride rally? Their mugshots are instructive – hardly exemplars of their race.

I’ve got to say that empty cardboard wine casks (with the silver pillows still inside) and stacked into a dwelling type shape, should offer considerable thermal insulation. That is definitely ahead of its time.

m0nster’s definition of “weedy” = anyone with a BMI under 35.
On the rare occasions when neo-Nazis have been punched in recent times, they are not sitting in the privacy of their mum’s basement playing on Xbox. They are out in the world actively being a neo-Nazi, by agitating for and arguing for their sick, twisted beliefs. When they are doing that, they are fair game in my eyes.
Would I encourage Paul Pelosi-style home invasions to hit Nazis on the head with a hammer? No. If they are out and about spreading their vileness, yes they should be punched in the head.
It would be great if Trump said nothing about 2024 before Tuesday night.

m0nty-fa’s fragile state of health is such that he personally does not do the Nazi punching. He sub-contracts that task to the fascists of Antefa, and cheers them on from the lounge room side of his TV set.
Of course. You can tell someone to pull their heads-in and still want them to win FL.

Zyconoclast, I believe the quoted comment was sarcastic.
The “comment” comment might just have been sarcasm.
Lol Dover.
Monty makes an assumption based on his political views, not the evidence from the night.
Ok
Come Wednesday/Thursday – I expect there to be much chanting, cheering and commenting.
Expect 10,000 comments! 😛

So what you’re saying is that she lied to the electorate by letting them assume they were electing her for a full term.
Mr McGowan said Ms MacTiernan was always kind, uplifting, unstoppable, passionate and hardworking.
She also often had a unique analysis of situations and people, he said.
“Alannah’s one of those people you can’t help but like,” he said.
Seems to have forgotten that she has been pissed for the last 10 years! She drinks like Nancy!
The only invasion that night was the one Pelosi was planning on the orifice of his rentboi guest.
The senate is where they will try and cheat.
We’re heading off O/S soon and got a script for anti-virals. Doc warned they’re $1200 for about 50 tablets. FMD.
Would I encourage Paul Pelosi-style home invasions to hit Nazis on the head with a hammer? No. If they are out and about spreading their vileness, yes they should be punched in the head.
Note the weasel wording segueing from an assault with a hammer to a ‘punch in the head’.
Monty: free speech is violence.
Also Monty: My sides violence is free speech.
Id defend a rabid, frothing anti semite standing on a soapbox from a proto-monty wanting to hit them with a hammer. Not because I support the frothing loon, but because there is a clear demarcation between idiotic speech and physical violence.
Similar to doing the same vs some idiot spouting beardie weirdie or leftist shit.
Speech is not violence.
You think that way then you are down the slope of “its justifiable to do ‘x” to prevent your speech”..
Boy, talking to a lot of people and can’t find anyone who is voting for the Hunchback. I’m pretty sure it’s because of the people I’m asking though.

WA Liars have got no one when Sneakers goes. He has already made himself Premier and Treasurer, exactly like Emperor Barney did when Porter left for the green pastures of Canberra. Not sure people will wear Rita Saffioti as Premier. That said, the Lieborals are a decade and 3 elections away from even being competitive.
If they are out and about spreading their vileness, yes they should be punched in the head.
What about if they’ve got Eggshell Skull and the punch kills them?
Is it still okay?

Is it OK to feel this way about people promoting euthanasia? Asking for a friend.

Which one is you dickless. On second thoughts they all look too fit.
That would explian the Democrats trying to run away from its landfall, policy by policy.
Of course, nobody shoulod believe them.
Foreign cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka will remain behind bars after he was charged with the sexual assault of a Sydney woman but he has the “full support” of the Sri Lankan high commission.
The international cricket star, 31, appeared at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Monday via audio visual link from Surry Hills Police Station after he was arrested at a Sussex St hotel in the city’s CBD about 1am on Sunday.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s sex crimes squad and Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command began a joint investigation following allegations a 29-year-old woman was sexually assaulted.
Mr Gunathilaka was arrested in the early hours of the morning and taken to Surry Hills Police Station where he was charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent.
He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday, but the court papers did not make it and he spent another night in custody on remand as the matter was moved to Monday morning.
He wore thongs, dark blue jeans and a grey T-shirt when he faced Downing Centre Local Court on Monday.
He held his head down as he heard a police prosecutor tell the court she would be applying for an interim non-publication order over the bail hearing.
The result was granted and the court was closed to the public for legal reasons.
Magistrate Robert Williams refused Mr Gunathilaka’s bail, meaning he will spend the next two months behind bars on remand until the matter is next before the court in January.
Defence lawyer Ananda Amaranath told media outside court that he wanted the court to remain open.
“The magistrate made the order the court be closed,” he said.
Mr Amaranath said his client was “disappointed” by the result.
“He will be disappointed clearly … but we have to accept the decision,” Mr Amaranath said.
“He has the full support of the Sri Lankan high commission and the cricket board.”
During a police press conference on Sunday, Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty from the child abuse and sex crimes squad said Mr Gunathilaka and the woman allegedly matched on a dating app.
She told reporters they communicated on various platforms, including video calling, before meeting up.
A crime scene examination was undertaken at the address on Saturday.
It is understood the rest of the Sri Lankan team has already flown home without Mr Gunathilaka.
“The male is being supported by the Sri Lankan consulate,” Superintendent Doherty said.

All the reports I’ve heard are that this meeting was terrible for Scholz. Germany went to China for a parachute but got rebuffed because the Chinese do not trust the Germans to not worm their way back to the US once they’re safely back on the ground.
The East and the West strive toward different objectives.

A Katherine man who fatally shot a home intruder earlier this year has been sentenced.
Kim Jamie Keith Kellett, 39, will remain behind bars until at least January of 2024, after pleading guilty to a downgraded charge of manslaughter when he faced Darwin Supreme Court.
Family and friends crowed into the courtroom, shouting their support as Kellett arrived.
He was sentenced to four years and 10 months in jail and this was backdated to March 17.
The sentence will be suspended from January 17, 2024.
Kellett was living in a ranger’s cabin with his wife and young son near the Cutta Cutta Caves Nature Park, about 30km south of Katherine, when the killing happened.
On March 16, a 26-year-old man approached the house and let himself inside.
Kellett’s wife Danielle went into the kitchen to make a bottle for their two-year-old daughter.
It was then she spotted the intruder, who was wearing boxer shorts and was covered in grass.
Her screams woke Kellett.
The court heard Kellett rushed into the kitchen, telling the man to “f*** off”, before chasing him out of the house and locking the door.
At 4.08am, Ms Kellett rang triple-0.
She said she was sitting with a gun, telling the operator: “Hurry up mate because he’s gonna get shot. Mate, my kids are here.”
After hearing noises outside, Kellett took the .308 bolt-action rifle from his wife and ventured outside.
He walked three metres to the corner of the concrete at his front entrance, shouldered the rifle and shot down the driveway.
A bullet went into the victim.
At 4.36am, a police officer arrived on the scene to find the dead man lying on his back.
As Kellett approached the officer he was heard to say: “Oh, s*** – I only just fired a warning shot”.
Justice John Burns called the shooting “highly reckless”.
Justice Burns said the presence of an intruder would understandably cause “a very real fear”.
“We cannot know why the deceased entered your home, dressed as he was, in the middle of the night,” Justice Burns said.
“You did not know the deceased, you did not know anything about his background, all you knew was he was a person who entered your home in a partially undressed state.
“The conduct of the deceased was clearly of the nature that would cause a very real fear in your mind both as a resident of the dwelling and as a parent.
“Your act of raising the rifle to your shoulder and firing in circumstances where you thought the noise may have been made by the deceased was nevertheless highly reckless.”
Justice Burns called the incident “out of character” for Kellett, stating the Crown accepted he “did not intend to cause serious harm” to the intruder.
“The present offence is out of character for you,” he said.
“I am satisfied that you are basically a decent man who made a very poor decision in difficult circumstances on the night in question.
“The Crown accepts that you did not intend to cause the death of or serious harm to the deceased.”

Careful what you wish for. You might find the results…inconvenient.
When I think about pelosi trash and the cretins what vote for the dirty old woman, the mafia princess, I think another earthquake would be a damn good thing.
A Katherine man who fatally shot a home intruder earlier this year has been sentenced.
Should have got a medal.
In all fairness – and speaking as a person who has never been in the situation and so cannot declare what ‘normal’ behaviour would be, but I would expect a warning shot to be significantly above the plane where another person might be.
You would be shooting up into the air.
But maybe that is the situation in cases like this: you are not trying to do what the Hollywood movies would have you do. Maybe your instinct is to scare the blue cheeses out of people by firing close to them. It being more frightening than popping off a shot toward the Southern Cross.
I expect the Senate would be most careful to ensure this would not occur.
I was struck by the cop’s comment after a rampage of stolen vehicles and property damage worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that ‘a crash is the worst possible result’ (or similar, I haven’t copied it.)
Here’s the thing. As long as those kids know that this is your mindset, nothing will change. They know that in a game of chicken, you will always back off.
Of course a lot of them will die due to what happens when kids try to impress their mates and girlfriends and siblings by hurtling around in stolen cars at high speed with no concern that the cops will try to stop them. Hoo-wee!
As for Alice Springs, the state of paralysis about what is happening seems to show no sign of resolution. First the ideologues closed off The Rock, now they are letting the town turn into a slum which you might find in rural Nigeria.
But, it’s Inclusive!
There are several taxpayer funded operatives there to prove it!
Warning shots are considered in some situations to be a waste of time.
ADF in the Iraq war were not permitted to use them. Fire to defend yourself if you had to – aim at the body mass.
After nearly 3 years I have finally caught the Rona. Sore throat, lack of energy and some nose blockage. I’ve had it for 3 days so hopefully it clears in the next 2 or so.
I’m sure you’ll bear it. 😛
Boom Tish!
I feel for him, & for his family.
It’s not as if the dear departed was minding their own business at home when someone turned up & shot him dead.
The dear departed was intruding into someone’s home, &.. .. how to say this?…. was intruding not in the manner of a stranded motorist requiring a fan belt or to use the phone, nor a backpacker who has managed to get free of a kidnapper.
If only he could have been sentenced in Texas.
Warning shots are a good way to waste valuable ammunition…
You either shoot to kill, or don’t shoot at all.
There is no in between.
They just can’t let it go. Just appeared in my news feed:
Go away you stupid, panic mongering numbats. Go play in the traffic.

I learned in PNG that if there’s an intruder in the house you shoot to kill them. Unfortunate, but there it is. You only get one go.
Lesson. Never ever call the cops. Bury them in the backyard. Who is going to know?
