They must have a different interpretation of amazing.

Interesting. I’m trying to drink more water, but i need to figure out how much coffee to cut out in order to do so.

Why don't you just drink more water?

 

[Val Keating]

PERIOD THIS WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

That’s what a society falling apart looks like

It’s funny seeing how older ppl react to gen z humour

Because ur a boomer

This type of stuff will see Trump win in 2024

McAfee died so Aker has seen an opportunity to become the most untrustworthy shill in crypto. Amazing to be honest because he has zero clout and I'd be surprised if he knew how to turn on a computer let alone handle a cryptocurrency.

Good way to have the ATO breathing down your neck just like the SEC did with Floyd and co. when they tried the same tactic.

McAfee ain't dead.

Is it humour? Hes doing his job.

 

[ferball]

Yeah, this is absolutely cooked and a huge problem. This type of data directly affects policy and funding and research and a heap of things. Erasing queer and gender diverse people from the official data achieves nothing but willful ignorance and justification for ignoring them.

" ... the ABS won't be releasing Census data on non-binary participants and instead will randomly assign people who’ve selected this option as male or female."

Trans people say they feel 'erased' by this year’s Census (sbs.com.au)

Its decisions like that that make me want to write all sorts of crazy shit in my census form.

I would totally invest my life savings in a cryptocurrency where the brains of the operation is a local IT guy from Albury.

You’re Australian

And the percentage of the gen z vote would be negligent

You’re Australian

I know, but Americans come up on my tiktok 90% of the time. And I was on political tiktok once upon a time

Why don't you just drink more water?

Well, I’m trying to use my usual coffee breaks to swap water in. If I don’t prompt myself, I won’t do. Which reminds me - time to go drink some water!

 

[Ligma]

There are also a lot of political discussion on VCE discussion space and VCE politics space. 90% are my age and they do provide well rounded in depth discussions surrounding every political event.

Do you follow Nassim Taleb? He’s a genius who regularly undermines crypto. IMO he’s smarter then anyone that pumps it up. If he thinks it’s a scam then that’s enough for me.

And they probably won’t vote but will protest when he gets re elected.

How did you come up with that assumption?

Past elections

Sure but it’s a totally different playing field

I think you’re underestimating how many conservative Americans there are. Maybe in the near future it will change, but by contrast Australia is one of the least conservative countries (ironically outside of politicians), I think we have the highest rates of atheists per capita.

The reason I find it funny is because, 1) the Democrats and especially Biden are very conservative and are only trying to score points. And B) using a Tiktok influencer to encourage getting vaccinated speaks volumes. And C) the person is ridiculous.

A coffee is 99% water, maybe you should just drink more coffee?

Fair response, I know that there are a shit ton of republicans like Christian walker crazy, I don’t think I’m underestimating how many there are.

Maybe I have too much faith in the youth try to change the world for the better

Yes we have a special breed of humour
