It is interesting, as SMH is headed down the same path as news.com.au (at least for A Sydney centric news site) focussing on sport, celebrity goss and going and extra step by locking news behind paywalls and cookies.. I am guessing this hasn’t worked out too well for them

Honestly, social media.. Facebook is just absolutely full of bullshit meme's for every type of occasion, and clicking on a single one sends people down that rabbithole. Eg.. Say a person has a breakup with a person who exhibits some narcissistic traits and then relates to a meme about it and clicks on it (or pause too long), next minute the feed is full of gender hating memes, groups and pages to feed that part of the brain, and I think it is incredibly unhealthy. It just seemed a lot easier to meet people before heads were filled with social media influence

As tragic as this is, accidents are always going to happen.. and to suggest spending billions to try prevent an accident when the money could be spent elsewhere seems knee-jerk.

Honestly.. Google Play.. someone re-gifted my son a $20 Google Play card a few years ago, and I tried to buy something for him and realised the card was about 2weeks out of date, and after about 10 back and forwards with support, they wouldn’t honour it.. a trillion dollar company. I get it, but their cold indifference just seemed mean

Hot tip.. it will harm it, then after 4 consecutive years of weather events, the other mob will get voted in and try repair it, and the cycle continues

What happened to the graze on his cheek? Did they fill it with orange putty?

Not on purpose, but here is a tip.. don’t use an eyebrow trimmer when drunk, specifically.. don’t forget to put the length comb on first.

I think this is a nice piece of history though.. they loved their cats and couldn’t GAF about eyebrows

I don’t know how common my attitude is, but the only one I pay is for iCloud storage. I will find an app with a one off payment or nothing

I think it was comedian Steven Wright who said something like ‘I put a humidifier and a de-humidifier in the same room and let them fight it out’

Does this person work at a company where they are solely responsible for organising meetings?
