Even AI kind of gets it.

Wind turbines are being paid for by private industry.

Just for fun, point to a nuclear power plant being paid for by private industry.

I won't be joining, because reasons, but have a boost anyway.

Can we insist on all newspapers having to be sold in brown paper bags to "protect the kids?". Maybe include this idea for all media...

Sound proofing. would be my go to.

A material curtain will absorb a lot of noise and look stylish... Bog standard sound insulation works both ways. You can put it up backwards and it will reflect/absorb a lot of sound.

Also noise cancelling headphones are handy...

Whelp. That's dumb. Test tubes and spanners don't have the capacity to identify gender.

I wish more mysogenists understood this.

Ah. So this is more news corp railing against "new media" dressed up as legislation.

It seems like a recipe for Meta and X to pack up their toys and leave the market.

We all know how well this worked for the Australian auto industry...

My question to the department is

"If a user is deceitful to the platform during the sign up process, are you going to provide the legislative tools for a platform to initiate proceedings with the user?"

Considering the users will be below the age of majority, I'd suggest "no".

With a p. Gotcha. Will do some reading. Thanks.

I have a preference. My preference is considered and right for me.

Others have a different considered preference.

I also prefer identity first, but don't have a monopoly on "correct"

I'm autistic in the same way I'm white, or male, or middle aged. It doesn't completely define me, but it does give you a picture of who I am.

Keep being awesome.

Yep. I'm clumsy. Apparently there's a term like "Disbraxia" that means "Clumsy, but in latin"

Keep being awesome.

That sounds like a sensible boundary. Mine is a little more nuanced. If someone tells me to stop interrupting them and then interrupts me, that is the dealbreaker.

I hope those around you listen to your voice.

I sleep with my childhood teddy bear in times of great stress. Well done you for making a good lifelong decision. Keep being awesome.

What makes this particularly dangerous, is the first to be shown the door will be the "checks and balances" people.

This will make the system ripe for rort.
November 13, 2024 at 7:06 PM
Thanks Bud. I needed that.

Keep being awesome

Yes. Fortunately a thorough knowledge of employment law and reading the employee handbook, saw an end to this.

It was dry reading, but worth it to stop the harrassment in its tracks.
