Mithranderp posted:ehhhh cable in some areas can be really poo poo during peak times due to congestion/lots of households on cable TV. I used cable in my last two places,. and because nobody knows that it exists, nobody uses it. 100mbs in both locations, tiniest, tiniest of pings. One of those places was trendy suburb Marrickville. Telstra and Optus don't usually let people know that there is cable there, so often if you ask, you shall receive, gloriously.

Amethyst posted:If "philosophically bankrupt" sounds like a weird out there phrase that only weirdos would use you need to read more books. I'd like to put it in a less pretentious sounding way but I can't, this is the plain truth. Christ you're thin skinned. I was just making a joke about the different meanings of bankruptcy economically and mentally, not making some personal attack. You need to lighten up dude. Be like me, make orkin mang your philosophical receiver. EDIT: Mang please liquidate my assets.

Radio network Triple M has come under fire after former Labor leader Mark Latham used his podcast with the station to say men hit women as a "coping mechanism". In the 20-minute podcast posted to the Triple M website on Friday, Mr Latham took aim at Australian of the Year Rosie Batty and feminists for "demonising men" and making those who hit women "feel worse about themselves". As soon Mr Latham's comments hit the airwaves, demonstrators on Change.org launched a petition to get him sacked from Triple M and Channel Nine. Furthermore it called on anti-domestic violence organisation White Ribbon to distance itself from Triple M and the "disgraceful podcast". During the podcast, Mr Latham said he worried Ms Batty was "causing more harm than good". "The patriarchy argument is that men beat up women in some cases because they hate women," he said. "But I don't think it is about how men look at women, it is about how men look at themselves. "They have lost their self-esteem, their job, are welfare-dependent, on drugs or alcohol in their life. "They use domestic violence as a coping mechanism to get over all the other crap they have in their lives. "Demonising men and making them feel worse about themselves is not going to solve the problem." Triple M is an official partner of domestic violence awareness charity White Ribbon, supporting White Ribbon Day when it was held on November 25 last year. White Ribbon Australia chair John Rosewarne said Mr Latham's comments showed "his lack of understanding and knowledge of this complex issue". Mr Rosewarne did not say the charity would be breaking ties with the radio station, nor did he call for Mr Latham to be sacked. "Triple M are committed to bringing the conversation on men's violence against women to the fore. They stand by their decision to run Mark Latham's podcast as they believe the conversation needs to happen amongst men no matter how uncomfortable it is and the view presented," he said. "White Ribbon is about … men letting other men know that men's violence against women in any form is never OK." Triple M head of network Mike Fitzpatrick said the station would continue working with the charity. "Triple M stands side by side with White Ribbon and will continue to push conversations about domestic violence no matter how uncomfortable. This is an issue that needs to be spoken about," Mr Fitzpatrick said. "We call for all men to stand up and hold those who commit acts of violence against women and children to account." Latham lashed for 'appalling misogyny' By Friday afternoon, more than 410 supporters had signed the petition demanding Mr Latham be fired. "Latham is free to speak, and we are equally free to be disgusted with what he says," the petition said. "There is no place in Australia in 2016 for this appalling misogyny." Greens deputy leader Larissa Waters criticised Mr Latham, saying most Australian men supported of the anti-domestic violence movement. "Mr Latham's appalling comments add to the shockingly sexist start to the year, which has included a former federal Liberal junior minister and the former NSW Labor general-secretary resigning over sexual harassment allegations," she said. On Twitter, veteran broadcaster Tracy Spicer described his comments as "shameful", while prominent feminist Clementine Ford described the podcast as a "toilet show". Comedian Wil Anderson said Mr Latham's keys to success were to: "Be loud, terrible, unpopular and low-rating, miraculously get new job. Repeat." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-22/mark-latham-under-fire-for-triple-m-podcast-domestic-violence/7107650

China is hosed. Australia is less hosed. It'd be pretty stupid to put all your eggs in one basket. China is a garbage country cargo culting the USA and Japan. Its food, air and water is poisoned. Its products are lethal garbage unless QA inspectors are at every point of the process. Vice – Devasting effects of pollution on China. Journeyman – Chinas pollution national emergency. CBS – poisoned milk powder. Al Jazeera – Milk powder smuggling Al Jazeera – Fake food scandal 101 East – China airpocalypse Under the dome in China quote:Arglebargle III posted: Journeyman – Three gorges dam, disaster soon BBC – Tianjin port explosion RT – Shandong explosion Drive – Chinese car scores zero for safety Faces of China – Heavy Metal Bad news: They don't want things out of the ground (good for environment though) Good news: They want clean food, medicine and education because the standards and conditions in China are a joke. Bad news: The Liberals have gutted TAFE and made uni a diploma mill for foreign students cash. Good news: we can still sell high quality food, and medicine Bad news: Gutted CSIRO, and watch dog like authorities and we've got drought coming. So loving yay

Man, if Amethyst wasn't so diligent about always making sure to reply to any time anyone says or implies or suggests in any way that maybe something about him could be imperfect in every way, I might have a slightly lesser opinion of him right now. And that would totally impact his life. Good thing he kept it up.

The purpose of rhetoric is not trivial, as you and I once discussed in the crew thread. Insults are made in the defense of the implicit wisdom held by each poster. To defend yourself is to defend your principals.

I don't think ultra-nationalism is really our style. We don't have a myth to refer to in the way older societies do so the movements always look like a tragic pastiche.
