Agree on your second paragraph but where on earth would you find anyone without bias to be able to determine what is misinformation? And the key to people helping themselves to do so is trust in their information sources. Invalidating people's votes obliterates their trust in whomever does it.

Note that there were no suggestions that the votes for that candidate were not legitimately cast. Taking away the agency of voters by deciding they have been misinformed is a far greater threat to democracy than some foreign bot accounts.

"Take the positive" out of people dying because they probably voted for someone you don't like? Do you actually think of yourself as good and tolerant when you post shit like that?

Yep - the mandatory vaccination policy at my private employer was extended to mandate boosters in January 2022 with the laughable justification that it "remains one of the most effective transmission deterrents for Omicron". The policy wasn't rescinded until November 2022.

Give me Corbyn over Starmer any day. Hardly agreed with any of his politics but at least he had principles.

It wasn't an immunisation; if it was then you wouldn't have needed to take 5 of them. Your jabs provide zero benefit to anyone other than yourself, but your erroneous belief that they did led to some awful policies that killed some people and cost many more their jobs and their ability to...

I support policies, not politicians. What do you do?

In my experience personal abuse in debate is a cover for someone who knows their argument is weak and/or doesn't believe it themselves.

That definitely reads like it's fake.

It could've been 200 days and you couldn't have done a damn thing about it.

Why on earth would you think I would be in favour of something so illiberal? Be honest though, you'd have loved that level of surveillance for anyone breaking Covid rules.

In our own state we recently had 2 years where people's rights were at the sole discretion of an unelected policeman who could rescind them at any time. What was your view of democracy back then?

The Ignore feature doesn't work unless you tell everyone you are doing it. True story.

Strikers would've won more games this season with that rule.

The only sensible one is consecutive overs from one end, but has to be different bowlers. We do this in our local comp to speed the games up.

Given that a lot of cruise ship staff come from poorer countries where the history of US race politics is likely not a core part of their education, a fair chance they do "all live under a rock" in regards to this.

Obviously something you would be above doing. (in response to an article by a UK GP that had zero to do with US politics)

The forward line is Freo's Achilles heel - I don't see any universe where they fix it enough for Treacy to win the Coleman yet they don't make finals.

Those who want to ban any talk of Covid feel free to scroll on by. https://cafeamericainmag.com/what-even-is-public-health/

Could not be further from the truth, but do go on.

Are you hearing this from the same circles that led you to believe that Harris would win every swing state and even Florida was in play? Methinks you need to step outside of your echo chamber.

Is there any celebrity death you can't use to air one of your petty grievances? It's boring.

Are you the friend of small businesses? The same ones you wanted shut down for Covid while Bunnings and supermarkets stayed open? And how much wealth did those tech companies hoard during lockdowns when people couldn't do things physically? I'd also bet that in the US those compare a ton more...

California was a mess before these fires. Well, if you say so then it must be true... It's actually a fair piece about the internal migration of people and the transfer of the centres of wealth and power that accompany that. It notes that this is not unique in US history nor is it a permanent...

Interesting timing for this take when California, who have been ****ing around with the exact policies that Trump voters rejected en masse, are finding out that it leads to a statewide shitshow.

Are the existing coronavirus strains being "allowed to run rampant"? Is the flu? It's called normal life. I didn't think there was anyone left who thought Covid eradication was ever possible.

What relevance did I miss? HIV transmission vectors are totally different to Covid and it's a permanent disease that is fatal to every case without treatment (which at best prevents it getting worse but never cures it). The tweet has been deleted, probably because the author realised how dumb...

Yes, because avoiding the specific practices that spread HIV is just as easy as stopping the spread of an airborne virus that is transmitted through the everyday functions of society. Should we have tried to keep Covid out of Australia permanently through border closures, quarantine and...

Randomly bumped into him and Renshaw at my local coffee shop yesterday. Grey beard makes him look old AF but tonight he fielded like he was 60.
