Laserface posted:I dont think he should be fired for something that has nothing to do with his job. If someone wants to associate their public and professional lives on social media then they waive any right not to have the two interfere with each other. I mean, if I posted my real name and employer on a big sign in my front yard and also wrote on it that I wished that minorities were thrown into a woodchipper then my employer has every right to publicly distance themselves from me.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like a particularly good compromise.

Cleretic posted:We don't entirely know how the compromise went. Sure, it's not the compromise we'd want, it's probably not the compromise they wanted either. But it's the best they could get, and it's better than nothing. Having had more of a chance to read the information, I agree. I would like more info about the whole situation, though, to get a more rounded picture.

Mr Chips posted:The Greens' proposed progressive superannuation contribution taxes would lower the amount of super tax that 75% of workers pay and also raise more revenue for the government than anything Morrison's proposed. Yes, but you see the Greens aren't a sensible political party and just have protest positions and don't have any sensible economic policies so clearly this wouldn't work.

oTHi posted:RIP. In unrelated news, our office AC seems to be struggling. Normally it's *too* efficient and thus cold. Our office is ridiculously designed so the air conditioning sensor is right near the windows that get sun all day, so that end is 30° since it bakes all day and the other end where I sit is freezing all day and I need to wear a jumper.

OK, since I've only posted it in the chart thread... OK, so for any lurkers or people who might be thinking of coming to Brisbane goon meet tonight, the movie (star wars) is at Brisbane City Myer Centre at 6:40pm and dinner will be at Vapiano at 9pm thereafter. They said when I called that they don't normally book tables for anything but huge groups so whoever gets there first just grab a table for everyone. Even if you don't care about Star Wars fell free to come to dinner and talk about other, less nerdy things. And if you aren't a fan of eating, feel free to come to the movie and then gently caress off afterwards!

I don't like the photo ID part of the law but the upped fines for going through red lights and crossings and the like are great. Hopefully they actually get applied at some point since the amount of cyclists I see going straight through those is ridiculous.

Birb Katter posted:It doesn't stop drivers from doing it at all and sure as poo poo doesn't get enforced there. It's about making life difficult for cyclists and not for any safety purpose. That doesn't seem to parse for me, can you please explain your post? I'm reasonably certain I've observed drivers being pulled over for going through red lights and the like, and although it's not a perfect system it's hard not to argue it's a safety feature. Why shouldn't cyclists be required to obey road rules, and how is this attempting to make their lives difficult (ignoring the ID part at the moment, which clearly is stupid at best).

Birb Katter posted:Cyclists are already required to obey road rules all of this is just to punish cyclists and make it less appealing / more of a hassle. If they gave a poo poo about making things safer for road users then they'd ensure that existing rules are enforced and add rules in to provide cyclists with much stronger protection from their biggest danger which is cars. Cyclists are already required to obey road rules but (from my limited experience) there are a number of them that appear to not care about doing so. As such, the punishment appears not to be effective in being a deterrent. It would be nicer if the rules we have were enforced against cyclists more, but in the meantime this would seem to be a decent stopgap to "encourage" cyclists to obey the law. We should definitely be doing as much as we can to help protect cyclists from cars, but in the meantime we are actually capable of focusing on more than one thing at a time and can do this too. We should definitely be trying to enforce the rules against other road-users, too, and I'd be fine if there was a fine hike on those sorts of of offences against them too since these are the kinds of infringements that can extremely easily turn deadly (as opposed to parking fines and the like which generally harm nobody, at least not physically). Are you seriously saying that by making it expensive for cyclists to run red lights it'll be unappealing to ride your bike or a massive hassle? Really?
