Done. I added a "but" just so the OP still made sense. (and it's still true whether or not he's the living embodiment of Adolf Hitler).

An update on the Tesla Takedown https://www.splinter.com/the-tesla-takedown-is-working What is this sh-t? Is that where you get your news? I mean, I'd be happy to see Tesla stocks "anhiliated" in response to fascist salutes at a political rally by the CEO. That would be righteous. But the fact is t...

The NSDAP did no such thing. Its genesis was in German ultra-nationalism and certain 'socialist'' elements were needed to attract support in the working and lower middle classes. At that time, only socialist parties of some form favoured decent healthcare systems, age pensions, etc; conservative pa...

I think rather it’s the simplistic insistence of some of the dumber right that Nazis = Socialism ( because it’s in their name ) is what gets people goat .

You probably think that the Nazis were socialists you sad Christian Nationalist loon. That Nazis did incorporate socialist elements. They were also hard right fascists. Nazism is quite a bizarre mix of ideologies and not at all black-and-white. If you're thinking along the lines of "Nazis = right w...

No it was stupid and naive to leave world ‘peace’ to one democracy Okay, so you agree with Trump then? Everyone should arm-up and defend themselves? Fair enough. Pretty scary if you ask me.

The point about the US playing world 'police' went out the door with the second invasion of Iraq after they had a blank cheque to do what they liked after Afghanistan. They've always played to their interests. But saying a peace deal is workable after one of key points Russia has made is that they ...

You should have stopped there.

And if you're roughly in agreement with me, then what's your problem? You're allowed to agree.

I'm not sure what's more tragic: the original post or the sheer nonsense unfolding in these comments. The idea that grassroots rugby should be supported by the governing body isn't just common sense; it's an absolute no-f-cking-brainer.

I feel dirty I just got a Starlink setup for when I’m out bush. Simply no other workable option though. Not the case with Tesla cars.

My Dad has one, and he's as lefty-woke as you can possibly get.

But what can you do once you already own one? The money is spent. Selling it or burning it or whatever after you bought it is just a futile gesture.

Dialects and accents vary hugely. But technically, if you're speaking "proper Queen's Swedish", the g should be pronounced.

"Ja" for "jag" is like "wanna" for "want to".

I know my PR rants might suggest otherwise, but I mostly avoid the news.

With Cheika, I never felt like we were developing. It was groundhog day, hoping to snare a win. I can't possibly imagine why...

How horrible and depressing.
Not one person has mentioned it either.

Strangely enough, no. I was even in the city in the office yesterday. Nobody mentioned it.
