I think it would be better to convey your disgust through interpretive dance - you might qualify for the Olympics and then go on to win gold!

When the kids from next door lose their ball over the fence and try and retrieve it they’re gonna get a face full of flame!

They paint their houses those bright colours because of the long, brutally cold, depressing, grey, sun-starved winters. But great place to visit in the summer months.

Would have done better if he could kiss a few babies out on the campaign trail - but the bin over his head gets in the way. It’s a shame, I like Count Binface’s policy platform…and the cape.

Yeah, all imgur.com images for me are blank, and I can’t figure out why.

I’m with you.

Too soon.

And I will reply to your reply, and boost 2 replies and add 3 upvotes, further demonstrating that Lemmy is a vibrant active online community.

Yeah, okay, I am a little bit techy, but so far I haven’t had to employ any of my limited techy abilities in Linux Mint. I didn’t even notice I was using it more, it just happened over a few months that I was finding there was no need to go back to Windows. To load programs on Linux Mint I just google “How to load program X on Linux”, and there will be a page saying, type “sudo apt install <program_name>” in Terminal and it always works and I’m done. (I’m a beginner programmer who was told to try Linux for the Unix stuff) .

If you’re a gamer, I would look up any discussion of gaming in Linux - that would be my only proviso.

I wouldn’t say I’m that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it’s UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I’m going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I’m just using Krita. I’m lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can’t be bothered loading yet.

Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that’s been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.

For me it’s just ‘When the ad…’<mute>

Just give him the legal aid then when his case is done start calling him constantly asking him to repay it because he wasn’t actually eligible, sorry.

This post is wet with spittle…I will type this reply out then wipe myself down and be on my way.

Sky news link in a science forum, really? Don’t they promote covid conspiracies and all sorts of anti-science crap for their right-wing audience?

Yeah, and I’m pointing to your pointer pointer and I’m a pointer pointer pointer. Or more accurately but less funny is that I’m pointing to your pointer-to-pointer and I’m a pointer-to-pointer-to-pointer.

I get you, man. I like my Volvo but I hate Swedish people! When my hate for the Swedes starts to boil up inside me and I start to grip that wheel hard, I just think of my car’s strong but flexible chassis, collision detection, and understated yet elegant interior finishing and it calms me down.

Why not get those quirky Taliban guys over to America for a Twitter ad campaign, Elon. He could probably throw in a tour of Space X launch site or the Tesla car factory in Texas? (Just keep all the female employees out of sight, shh, mums the word…)

If they don’t provide a deterrent then it will just be worse next time. It’s up to the commissioners or judges. One wonders if we are now at the point where they have to make an example because people have died.

Same problem with police corruption - keep giving them slaps on the wrist, it will just be worse the next time, then the time after that it will be worse again. You make your bed, you lie in it.

Just ignore him - he’s a troll. The idea of Dutton overseeing the construction of a nuclear power plant in Australia is a horrifying thought.

We need a plan not just one fix. Governments are supposed to look at the whole picture and make changes so that the economy and society as a whole ‘sings’. They are supposed to make plans for the near, medium and far future. All we’ve had for the past decade is right-wing governments getting into power and then everything they did from then on was about winning the next election at any cost - they were parasites that did nothing to improve pretty much anything, and now we are suffering because of that.

We need a plan like Germany and Japan had after WWII to transition their destroyed countries into economic powerhouses 30 years later. We need long term planning like Norway has done with their resources and their sovereign fund. Yes we need big-australia immigration but combine it with education improvements and so on - do this and this other thing, and combine it with that because of this reason, and the result of all these things combined will be greater than the sum of their parts.

If we don’t start planning we will continue to suffer and living standards will continue to nose-dive.
