The gay agenda strikes again. Jerry Falwell tried to warn us, "this homosexual steamroller will literally crush all decent men, women, and children who get in its way" (CW, lots of homophobia)

I dunno, maybe harassing disadvantaged people isn't a good use of our resources? And maybe setting targets for the number of people harassed leads to bad outcomes. If only someone could have predicted this, but alas, this is a situation that has never occurred anywhere on earth before.

Yeah, I don't doubt it was traumatic and he should be given all the support and counselling needed, but he's still responsible for taking part in assaulting and chasing someone and that resulted in their death. Anyone else involved in something like that, even if it were lawful, would be compelled to testify.

There's a group of them in Canberra that camp out in the centre of town every Friday and play a really lovely cover of staying alive by the beegees on repeat for hours. I used to work right next to where they set up and it was literal torture. I don't know what they thought they were accomplishing there, their audience were basically all lefty public servants who were already on board. I really don't know what they expect to accomplish. Like blm or pride demonstrations don't aim to piss off the general public, they are demonstrating their mass support to those in power. Like be visible for sure, let people know about your cause, but don't actively piss off the general public who's support you need.

Megabound posted:A protest that doesn't inconvenience those in power is handily ignored. Peaceful protest furthers no causes. But that's my point, they're inconveniencing people with no power and who are often already supporting them, at least in principle. ER doesn't cause any issues for politicians and fossil fuel execs when they block commuters. I'd have much more respect for them if they were regularly blockading parliaments or mining company offices.

Precisely. They aren't wrong, but their tactics are self defeating. Protest at the people with actual decision making power, and build support among the community. We didn't win gay marriage by harassing the public and stopping them getting to work, we built support and pressured the government.

Is it though? I don't think the state really cares about their perfomative protests. I want to be really clear, I agree with their goals, I just think their tactics are poo poo. Other climate protest groups seem much more effective. That kid who sued the government and won over their duty of care for example, or Greta Thunberg and her movement. Extinction Rebellion seems much more concerned with making themselves feel good than actually effecting change.

Like union protests are a good example of what XR should be. They have an impact on the public, sure, but they're much more targeted at decision makers and disabling sectors of the economy. And at least to my perception, people seem far more accepting of that, and subsequently supportive. XR seems so much more focused on stunts and performance art. Can you imagine a bunch of unionists dressing up in disco outfits and dancing to one song on repeat for hours on end to protest low pay or safety conditions? No one would take anything they say seriously.

Bucky Fullminster posted:There are differences yes, but fundamentally they are still tiny things weirdly orbiting a much bigger thing, with a lot of empty space in between Only in the very most superficial sense. Electron orbits are more of a probability space for where it could be. With planetary orbits you can accurately predict their position at any moment, even centuries from now. That's why we know exactly when every lunar eclipse will be, and what sort it will be for any given location on earth. With electrons, we can say where they will probably be, but not with complete certainty. And if we know exactly where it is, we can't know it's velocity, and vice versa.

It's still trash. If the price of the food isn't enough to pay people appropriately, increase the price. Don't hide it in a bullshit additional fee. Even if it's well intentioned, it's still deceptive and scammy.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:How is it deceptive if they have a big thing on their menu describing it. It's more transparent to do so than simply slam it into product prices which are literally inscrutable Because they rely on you having to notice it and mentally calculate the extra %. It's like the dumb way Americans list prices without factoring in taxes, or the way airlines don't include the cost of fees in the advertised price. They're using the lower list price to drive sales, as most people won't realise the true cost until final bill comes.

Mandatory tipping is explicitly anti-worker and a crutch for businesses to get out of having to carry the cost of paying their employees adequately.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:They are paying their employees above well above the award already you goony weirdo the problem is Sydney is a city built around rich cunts and normal people can't afford to live there You're the one being weirdly aggressive and patronising. Tipping culture is a cancer that is used to keep wages low. If a 10% or 20% additional fee is required to pay people appropriately, then it isn't a fee and is just part of the cost. If some businesses are paying people well with them, that's great, but it provides cover for others to push for wages to stay low and rely more on the largesse of customers. How can you look at places where tipping is common and see that as desirable? If the award rate is too low, we need to raise it, not come up with ad hoc solutions to structural problems.

I have a huge problem with shitheads gathering up large portfolios and commercial residential landlords. gently caress off with the housing is an investment bs that is ruining affordability Eh, I think in some ways, baring a government service to provide them, a faceless corporate landlord is preferable to the dice roll of individual landlords. Even if they each only have one, I've heard enough horror stories from friends of petty tyrants being absolute arseholes. Often the lower the stakes, the worst power corrupts.

I find all this focus on control of the subs confusing. It's not like we aren't capable of operating a nuclear reactor due to some national deficiency of character. The Americans are very happy to let us play with their fancy toys. Bush the younger even offered Howard the F22, the plane that America won't sell to anyone. There will probably be American nuclear naval engineers in charge for a bit until we build up a cadre ourselves, but it's just a bunch of hot rocks, not Pandora's box.
