Well, there goes the rent again.

Adelaide can gain that 0.1 on Helsinki if they can get Tuomas to be a guest lecturer in Women's Studies at Flinders University.

I'm up for going back to uni to study women with Tuomas

Would you study women in front of a baby?

it's ok though because our airlines are now less safe

Yeah wtf whatever happened to "qantas is the only airline with a flawless saftey record"?

And since when were UNITED so safe, havent they gone sliding into the Potomac on numerous occasions?

(not to mention erm, the obvious)

Read something last night about Vic Police now having the power to remove burqas without permission. Haven't seen it in any local press for some reason. You lot heard anything?

heard some blah-de-blah on teh bus yesterday, but it was neil mitchell show so i didn't actually listen

Saw it on page 11 of the 29 August edition of this (10mb pdf), nfi why it got bugger-all coverage here or even a ~twitter backlash~

This came up a while ago, it was in the news. I dont think it ever became an power but was raised as a possibility or discussion point.

I remember this because someone was talking about it on FB - Nicks gf I think - and she had some idiotic friends going on about "fuckin islams shouldnt wear that shit we make people take off their helmets in banks" and I got into an argument with this dickwipe and told him he was making no sense (his spelling and grammar was UNREADABLE) and some ladyfriend of his waded in and abused me for picking on him for being dumb.

aaaaaaahahahaha

is what im sayin im not bein racist or religist lol but some things should be kept at home

I like the idea "religist" is a thing.

loooooooooooooooooooooooool

On that, I want a name or single-word phrase that describes people who do this, in this order:

1. argue against the rights of a perceived minority (e.g. gays should not be allowed to marry)
2. when challenged, complain that they are the victim of prejudice

i.e. they demand the right to take away other people's rights

So anyway yeah, has that changed? I doubt we'd let cops just rip one from a woman's head wholesale, but I can kind of see where "please show me your face" might be a reasonable request from an authority figure - we were allowed to do so at the passport office iirc

hypocrite? xpost

Once I was told "he's old, you should make allowances for him" in defence of a homophobe, i.e. I should get off his case so that he can prejudicially get on someone else's

xxp hypocrite doesn't sum up the whole logic trail well enough imo

http://delimiter.com.au/2011/08/30/wikileaks-cable-outs-secret-iitrial-background/

- MPAA in America orchestrated the action against iiNet, wanted that fact to remain a secret
- MPAA hassled Conroy directly (again in secret)

omg this bit

The US Embassy, according to the document, noted that Australia had “very high rates of illegal movie and television show downloads”, in part because of “the sometimes long gaps between their release in the US and their arrival in Australian theaters or on local television”.

This stuff doesnt seem to be news, is whats weird to me, I'm not sure what I am missing.

“AFACT and MPAA worked hard to get Village Roadshow and the Seven Network to agree to be the public Australian faces on the case to make it clear there are Australian equities at stake, and this isn’t just Hollywood “bullying some poor little Australian ISP,” the cable quoted the US Embassy as writing.

iiNet, the cable claimed, had been targeted because the ISP was “big enough to be important”, as the third-largest ISP in Australia. The MPAA didn’t go after Telstra, the cable claimed, because the telco was “the big guns” and had “the financial resources and demonstrated willingness to fight hard and dirty, in court and out”. In addition, iiNet users had a particularly high copyright violation rate, the cable claimed, and its management had been “consistently unhelpful on copyright infringements”.

This was already a known thing? Certainly at least the supposed situation, as I had always read it.

(partic the "dont pick on T because they got too mucn clout" bit)

Yeah the reason for singling out ii was always pretty obvious but it's the other stuff, mainly (a) MPAA wanted desperately to be the secret overlord in all this (b) MPAA had to nag VR & 7 to be its sockpuppets and cop the flak publicly

of course the cover's blown now so

What amazes me most about all this is that corporate action is almost always emotionless and soulless, i.e. legal action proceeds, everyone works through it professionally and without real emotive anger, but the MPAA seems to actually chuck tanties, probably because it knows its business model is dying and the people at the top (i.e. not the law firms) are in a constant and escalating state of reactionary panic.

...which is bonkers when there are people who have exploited the exact same medium and got rich e.g. steve jobs

- Malaysia solution scuttled by High Court
- High Court decision may invalidate previous tactics e.g. the "Pacific "Solution""
- Herald Sun runs scary "HERE THEY COME" headline accompanied by scary pic of scary boat
- is anybody actually listening anymore

nah

What are you serious? Read some comments sections sometime - even in the Age, there are far too many ppl saying "we're full/we have infrastructure problems/we dont need any more immigration/blah rargh boat pppl"

None of them ever seem to consider the fact "boat people" make up like 2% of the yearly influx and the bulk of the supposed "overcrowding" is bloody students coming over on planes and then breaching their visas but whatever.

Oh yeah the usual tornado of entitlement is still spinning, what I meant is people like us have no reason to give a crap anymore because they're all behaving like arseholes. Sorry, wasn't clear.

Ah yes, agree on that point. I'm over it, frankly. I dont care anymore. I dont care about whos in govt. I dont care about the carbon "tax". I dont care about school funding. I JUST DONT CARE.

Yeah that's what I mean. I've decided to never vote again ever unless an actual LEADER comes in and LEADS based on 21st century thinking rather than bigot-chasing. Lack of marriage equality is what tipped me over the edge because there's only one correct outcome and it's being blocked by bigots.

Also obv the overcrowding has bugger-all to do with immigration and everything to do with councils and government sucking at town and infrastructure planning, but hey what do I know I'm just a lefty softcock.

look see i'm off now

pls explain the excitement about this bloke

He just released an album, presumably one would expect it to be getting media, non?

no I mean pls explain why so many people are so incredibly super-excited

Oh ok. Didnae know they were. That new single is quite pleasant, but it is ruined when the chick starts singing.

hey dirt-aye, baby i gotye money

^ ~layered post~

but it is ruined when the chick starts singing.

except the twist makes the song approx 90x better

held her cardigan when she went on to do it at the Opera House the other night tbh, she is tiny

"Uh, is it Silverchair?"

(Sorry.)

what's the biggest month for weddings in oz?

There's a month for weddings? What like, weather wise u mean?

i guess? i think here may is considered biggest month, then a bit of june before it gets too hot?

i got married in february and we can see how that turned out

Big place, loads of weather variation. Nov/Dec is good for Melbourne but that's when it's wet in a load of places.

Yeah some ppl will go north and have a wedding in winter in QLD for example thats a good point. 2 friends of mine had a Feburary wedding the same day but that may have been more cos it was Feb 29th =)
