Let's be honest, leadership can't manage a group chat let alone a drone. Let them sort that out first.

It's a socialisation issue to an extent, I'll give you that. Metoo has been going on for 15 years or so, if they haven't changed, they need to be ostracized without contextualisation. It's ruthless for sure, but it's been a long time talking about the same thing.

To be a joke. Travis is an athlete in a sport where strength and speed is respected, it is funny he'd take the name swift while playing the pinnacle of said sport.

A misogynistic joke would assume that Taylor would take Travis' name, not the other way round.

If it was misogynistic it would have been a joke about Taylor Kelce. Jesus yall need to touch grass.

To be fair that's also an oversimplification of women, atleast based on my experiences Some women go for looks, others go for intelligence. incels don't fulfill any of the criteria for any woman. Nor would I argue they have a solid understanding of who they are and what they want.

My cyber security mind says yeah, my open source mind says this is a bad idea. As for state sponsored actors, they're far less likely to target consumer grade software, they're more likely to engage in supply chain attacks, like SolarWinds or XZ utils.

Wasn't a policy put in place by a conservative government... But at its core, the policy was a cheap win for our government, however is under developed and borderline unenforceable. Regulating social media use is great on paper, it's poor in execution.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
It's all part of the plan, books allow you to develop empathy by exposing you to different perspectives. That in turn makes you more likely to call out culture wars, which the GOP don't want because it means people will be turned off by their platform.

But you have proven my point, if people who follow the word of Christianity would hate the Maga crew, then it stands to reason that MAGA is using religion as a defence of their actions, not as a reflection of the religion. Therefore they are not real Christians.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean the principle that something or someone has to be real to be followed is dumb, we follow concepts all the time. We followed the theory of general relativity long before we had the tech to prove that the math actually mathed.

That's great, what I am asking is the point of the statement you made above. Let's get to the linking of the left after I can at least make the link between increase in Gazan Population and threat to Israel.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
Right so the definition I posted.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you stating that the increase in Gazan Population posed an existential threat to Israel?
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
And what definition is that, as far as I am aware there's only one definition which is The legal term “genocide” refers to certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
If the latter is what you're saying then you're absolutely right.
Bharath Sivakumar (@thedatastudent.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm confused, perhaps I misread your original post, are you claiming the left engaged in a genocide of Jews? Or that the left condoned what Israel did pre October 7?

At best a shadow minister gets 25% additional salary, depending on circumstances and justifications provided by the opposition leader. In the scheme of the machinations of government and shadow government, its not that huge.

For clarity every member of parliament is on a salary of 217k, plus allowances for travel etc. Those who hold ministerial portfolios (i.e. those in government) receive additional salary: maps.finance.gov.au/sites/defaul... Page 3 tells you what a shadow minister receives as an additional salary.
