might lead individuals to rely solely on AI’s perspective, limiting their capacity for independent thought

Gee, just like collectivism does now, right?

Supercop 2024 clearly met his match in the shape of a 95 year old, 45kg woman who was effectively immobile. Steak knife, or no steak knife.

This pudgy, callow imbecile got his right whack by twelve men good and true, and no mistake. Weak as piss.

Steady on.
She was 48 kg.
But, yes, weak as piss.
You bet your house on one thing.
If he was called to attend an incident involving 3-4 tall yoofs in singlets behaving badly, he would lock the car doors and call for back-up.

O.K., so I’m reading Peter O’Brien’s book “Villain or Victim? A Defence of Sir John Kerr and the Reserve Powers” and there’s a mention of “Fraser’s mistress.” Anybody ever heard of such a lady?

Villages all over Ireland are celebrating the Hezbollah cease fire.

The UN lads and colleens are back on the tax free boondoggle for ever, to be sure, to be sure.

It is the Irish way.

Re the ABsCess’s grab for more of OPM, the most important question they need to answer before we progress any further is: When they receive the funding (because they will), what will the dregs call them? Big Brother? Big Sister? Big Uncle/Aunty? Big Neutral? How about we keep it simple, and refer to them as ‘Master?’

The Master ABsCess. Yes, that has nice ‘shackle’ to it. May I rise from the prone position now?

I just saw parts of Kim Williams’ talk at the Press Club and now I find him “deeply repulsive”. He looked like he is 100 years old and acted like it. I don’t think he is capable of leading any business let alone a renegade media corporation yet there he was passing judgement on Joe Rogan who has an audience thousand times that of the profligate ABC. How do you unseat someone like him?

Reading about R F X Connor from someone’s post here, it’s hard to disagree with what he wanted to do- uranium mines, refineries, gas pipeline.

MASSIVE Protests in NZ – Everyone Equal in the Eyes of the Law? No Way!

As Winston Peters pointed out: The Maori are not indigenous to NZ.

What I find curious is that the greatest adherents to this religion among my friends and acquaintances are the atheists or agnostics.

I’m an atheist, and I had no difficulty seeing the scam. I just looked at the numbers.

I reckon they are just following the intellectual fashion, not thinking for themselves on any issue.

Another tired old meja turd. Is being a leftie geriatric an occupational requirement to ‘lead’ the rotten stinking ABC??

I think Sales and Tingle would rate pretty highly in the repulsive stakes. Infact the ABC repulses me so much I never turn it on.

Modern-day Stolen Generation’ class action launched against WA GovernmentCain AndrewsBroome Advertiser
Wed, 27 November 2024 1:57PM

A class action has been launched against the WA Government targeting the removal of First Nations children — a practice described as creating a “modern-day Stolen Generation”.
It is alleged that since 1992, WA’s Department of Communities has engaged in “unlawful racial discrimination” against Aboriginal people which has allegedly resulted in the “unjust and unlawful” removal of Aboriginal children from their families.
Spearheading the class action is Shine Lawyers’ special counsel Caitlin Wilson, who said many of the families involved likened themselves to a “modern-day Stolen Generation”.
“First Nations children are consistently and significantly over-represented in out-of-home care, and at the present time, WA boasts the highest rate of over-representation in the country,” she said.
“This class action aims to mark the beginning of the end to this unjust and unnecessary separation.
“We do not move forward by repeating mistakes of the past.”
While Aboriginal people represent only 3-5 per cent of the WA population, Aboriginal children are 19.7 times more likely than other children to be removed from their families and placed in State care, according to the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care’s 2023 Family Matters report.
They are also 19.4 times more likely to remain on long-term orders, with only around 8 per cent of Aboriginal children being reunified with their families.
The class action lodged on November 7 follows an Auditor-General’s report released in June which found the Department of Communities’ early intervention strategy had failed to reduce the number of Aboriginal children in State care.
In addition, a Productivity Commission annual data report on Closing The Gap released in July found young Aboriginal people living in remote areas experienced rising rates of suicide and placements in out-of-home care.

Trooble at mill.
Luigi has pulled the rug on Plibber’s latest foray into batshit crazy environmental scheming.
The Green-Left wing of the Liars is said to be fuming.

The question is, is it unjust and unnecesary, or does it save the children from a hellish, unjust, and unnecessary squalor?
