I keep seeing it used for media articles because it’s fucking perfect and accurately displays his disdain for the poors. The fact that anyone with less than a billion dollars in net value thinks he cares about them is both baffling and hilarious.
Yeah, that’s a pretty easy and reasonable conclusion to come to if you think about if for more than five seconds. I’m not sure Elon has any toes left after he keeps shooting himself in the feet.
But he’ll gladly suck some Saudi dick if it marginally increases his net value.
Side note; I’m so glad that one of his daughters is trans because it helped expose him for the absolute fucking bigot he is. I stopped being a fanboy after the whole ‘pedo guy’ incident, and it’s been nice to have people finally come to the same realisation I’ve had and apologise for trying to defend him back then.
Cheers for making another daily thread! I’m looking forward to these growing. Do we know why c/Melbourne is so much more active than c/Sydney?
Hard to answer your prompt question; I think I’d probably have to say my wife, but that answer seems a little cliché. I definitely trust my friends, but I still have my secrets. I’m not sure there’s anyone who really knows 100% of everything about me, and maybe no one ever will. Maybe that’s okay? I don’t know that any of us are really supposed to be completely, 100% heart on your sleeve honest without any reservations whatsoever.
I’ve served on two juries before - before your group is called you can do whatever you want (phones, laptops etc. are all good), but know that your employer is required to pay you for at least your first ten days of jury duty (including the day you’re called in; even if you don’t make it onto a jury) at your regular pay. Beyond that, you’ll only get the jury duty allowance which isn’t great, but it’s okay.
I’ve only served at Parramatta Local Court and at the Downing Centre before though, so rules may vary from court to court.
If I can give you one piece of advice, PLEASE serve on your jury if you’re called and don’t make up a bullshit excuse. Jury duty is one of the greatest civil responsibilities we can be afforded (alongside voting) and if you decline or make up an excuse, chances are some fucking idiot will take your place. My first jury was an amazing and exhilarating case, but because of one absolute idiot in our jury we had to deliberate for 2.5 days until I and another juror were able to educate them and swing their vote to guilty.
Fucking hell mate, sounds like things are really tough for you at the moment. Here’s to hoping that whatever gods are out there deem to take away some of the shit they’ve flung at you.
I’ve been there on some of those points, but never at the same time. I think your outlook right now is about as good as it could be - the sun will rise and you’ll survive the night. Sometimes, we get all of life’s shit thrown at us at once. Please don’t give up hope that things will get better at some point, even if that point might be a while away.
Shoot me a message if you wanna grab a beer and shoot the shit. I’ve been looking for an excuse to get out of the house.
Dude honestly - thank you. Everyone who I know hates the concept of jury duty and seem to have no idea how honourable it is to be asked to hold another person’s liberty in your hands and to determine what is legal truth. If you have a good understanding of basic legal concepts (you’ll far outstrip your cohort if that’s the case) then I’d suggest you put your hand up to be foreperson. I was foreperson of my first jury (at 19 years old weirdly enough) and although it was so fucking chilling to have to openly state in court our verdict, other jurors genuinely took my word and opinions without a grain of salt at all.
Good luck to you. I really hope you’re selected from your group because it’s an amazing experience to be granted the power that a jury holds.
Maybe it is! Maybe Sydneysiders are just far less caring about the issues that pushed us to this place - I’m not really sure. It would make sense that New South Welshpeople would be more ambivalent towards corporate greed though; it’s kinda in our blood.
Try making an account on another server, maybe one of the smaller ones. My first was on lemmy.world, but on this new account on aussie.zone everything is loading much faster and I’m having no issues when it comes to commenting.
I’ve never really been a poster to be honest - not on reddit and not so far on lemmy - but I’m definitely mroe active with comments here. I’d like to make more posts but honestly I don’t know I’m that great at creating OC. I think in my total of just over ten years on reddit, I maybe made four or five posts?
Yeah, I used to pay $3/month for Apollo - would be very happy to donate that to lemmy server admins instead. My issue is that I don’t know what instance(s) to donate to given that I’m absorbing content from quite a few different instances at the moment. One of the issues with decentralisation is that I don’t really know who deserves my financial support the most! Maybe I’ll just donate to my home instance.
You’ve inspired me to be honest. I really didn’t use much of Wikipedia in high school or university but I’ve definitely fallen down the wiki-hole very many times and leanred things that there’s no way I’d have learned if not for the convenience. Gonna donate them a fiver now; it ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
Alright it's past midnight. New daily thread fothermuckers! (5th July) SKARNON edition
Hoooooooooooooooowdy ho fellow Lemmings. How are we all today?...
Google decimates Twitter search results after Elon Musk imposes limits on reading tweets (www.rawstory.com)

Daily Thread I Really Am Human Edition - Tuesday July 4
It’s Trust Me Tuesday. Who/what do you trust the most? Have a good one.
Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.
