yeah, and they voted for a Marcos, a dude literally funded from the theft his father committed, and his mother’s a Senator and not strung up… a nation who could have voted for Lenni, so they got the government they deserve and aren’t even trying.

this isn’t a criticism of the lady in the article, she’s awesome

this in any particular religious communities ?

I see South Australia has had a record grain harvest, saying everything has gone right this season

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-04/south-australian-harvest-starts/107225294

I’ve been farming here since 1980, and this is the best it’s ever looked. It’s great, and it’s fantastic that it’s statewide so it’s a real positive for everyone.”

wot ? 10s of thousands went to the world cup and while numbers are down, 10s of thousands alas visit the US every year.

I’ve been to Myanmar before current civil war, amazibg place, but the Tatmadaw are literally bombing towns with aircraft

go read some of the news in !myanmar@lemmy.ca

i have been , hell go all the way back to Bertrand Russel, he does as well, see his treatise “In Praise of Idleness”, famous economists like Maynard Keys projected we’d all be broking 15 hrs a week now for the same pay.

Productivity increases have gone to the very wealthy and we’ve voted for it, over decades, over and over and in the face of all that evidence ? we’d fuck in’ do it again, Leopards Eating My Face is full of examples. Solutions ? there arent any, the world has to many hateful and stupid people easily led by physcopaths and grifters . Not just the US, it’s near ubiquitous.

i thought this had already happened.

Model Y is the biggest seller in the world, Model 3 is about #4 from memory.

indeed, i will guess the first version will be a dud and they’ll say, see no one wants e versions.

MG have an etruck (eute) in Australia. Ford have a laughable PHEV. The BYD Shark is the 3rd biggest seller behind Toyota and Ford in that category in Australia, its pulled ahead of Mazda, Isuzu, Kia etal

constantly disappointed in Tesla’s success but as someone in Australia pointed out, pick your brand of asshole. I have a BYD.

US has it, NZ, Australia, Cambodia and a bunch of other countries

i mean one “side” is hate, it’s why they Vote Trump. This is not a both sides thing.

and most blue zone long life nonsense is to do with pension fraud and poor record keeping, not diet

The new study found that longevity claims in blue zones, or regions famous for long lifespans, are largely based on clerical errors and pension fraud.

doesn’t have to be complicated, dont eat much processed food, eat lots of vegetables, cook for yourself … or my preferred choice, have a chef for a gf who is big into garden to plate i.e from her own garden and/or other locals she swaps with.

Beerr, Spirits, Wine, Dr Pepper

housing isn’t unaffordable because of rate hikes, its unaffordable because of cheap money and constrained supply, it’s what “we” voted for.

this is a 50 year slow moving shit storm, tweaking rates 50bpd here or there matters nought when you have nothing to begin with but inflation matters a lot.

How would that improve the situation?

these many many have fucked around and now they’re finding out, they’re adults, with agency… this can only get worse for them because nearly everything we do in terms of neo liberal economic policy takes us this way, and they vote for it they’re accompolocies not victims… we literally eat the future and how they vote will make it even worse for themselves, we see the same shit in the US.

As to the many many… new car sales are at a record, 75% of them are ICE ffs, over seas travel is at a record, inflation adjusted spending keeps increasing. I go out anywhere and observe cafes and restaurants over flowing (I don’t eat out because i cant afford it) i live near a tourist town that drowns in tourists that require vast amounts of energy to get there, fuck any Hormuz crisis it seems. We’ve just seen record numbers of people pay ridiculous amounts of money to watch strangers run around in shorts chasing a ball (bread 'n circuses)

don’t leave us hanging dude, where’s the link?

turns out the people posed a threat to the bears :)

not so much pension fraud

Faruqi woukd have beena bad choixe and the second worst. Choice would have been S H-Y imo. I was a big fan of Larissa the Senator bit I think she made for a poor Leader. Hell, she was even on Mastodon fir a bit

We’ll see what Shoebridge does? I find his Ukriane stance appaling but other then that…

im more an old school Green though, planet, plave and people, in thar order, with no liviable biosphere we’re fucked and many of the polices relating to the enviorment and climate change make good economic sense and make for a much lower cost of living as well,

is it like emule ?
