With the right attitude, any robot’s a sexbot.

…and my robot vacuum’s looking mighty fine right now.

Only 40 years to resettle their entire population, by which time they’ll basically be Atlantis.

To be it looks like Australia’s getting the better end of the deal with Tuvalu essentially agreeing to be a military foothold of Australia in the Pacific.

Vasquez is always the best

As an Australian who’s travelled a fair bit I’d say the level of racism in Australia varies depending on where you are and most parts of the world I’ve visited are more racist than the major cities of Australia. But that’s just my personal observation.

It’s from a famous paper. Linked by gnutrinto elsewhere in this thread,

But they don’t want anyone to get out.

It’s actually 25. But it’s amazing to think that people in Florida can get 30 years just for possessing some weed. I think it might be the US that has the problem here.

The worst thing about this is that the English teacher is wrong too - common usage dictates that this is a perfectly acceptable form of request.

Because they often don’t get updated when security updates become available

They’re deliberately drafting troops from rural areas as much as possible to minimise the number of angry parents in the major cities who might actually mount a visible complaint.

Nice way to openly declare your intention to commit crimes under international law.

So skeptical. And then a few hours later the US gives its blessing for exactly that: https://lemmy.ml/post/6687184 .

And the Israeli defense chief says “troops will soon see Gaza ‘from inside’”

It’s not like they have a choice about their government. There’s no voting and hasn’t been for decades.

The Gaza strip ceases to exist when it’s taken by force and “settlers” move in so it becomes part of Israel. Millions of Palestinians die in refugee camps.

I guess it depends which media you use. My mother watches channel 7 mostly and she seemed puzzled as to why anyone would vote yes. “Apparently even the Aboriginals don’t want it.” And this was a few weeks ago. I think the mainstream media’s been pushing “no” pretty hard throughout.

The weight of the media was against them from day 1. It doesn’t really matter what your messaging is if it doesn’t get reported. What did get reported was whatever Murdoch’s news media wanted to be reported, and if they reported the “yes” side only in terms of weak points then that’s what people think the “yes” side had to say.

Simple answer: Israeli “settlers” will move in. Gaza will become part of Israel. Millions of Palestinians will be displaced and most will die in refugee camps.

The mining lobby funded some of the yes campaign and then proceeded to put out those vague and questionable messages. They really played both sides very effectively.

The mining lobby seems to be behind it too - they stand to lose a lot if Aboriginal rights are given more credence.
