I have been considering th 16 but open to the 13, can i ask why you went to the 16?

Wjy the 13 over the 15? i have been considering the 16

If the Government issues an order to remove a post that says “Don’t Get vaccinated and pray instead” vs “you called our President/King/Autocrat a cnut, so your post should be removed and your ID passed on so you can be prosecuted” are both having the govenrmt intervene, most sane people in democracies would be ok with the former but not the latter.

As an Australian I was NOT ok with the Australian governments esafety commissioner trying their stunt with Twitter. I find it doubly amazing the continued use of the service by any of our politicians , fcuk them. Set up a Mastodon instance and use that ffs.

The Australian Government issued a bunch of take down notices to Twitter and Musk said no

Musk decided to block them in Australian only which didn’t satisfy the Australian Government

He took them to court and the court sided with Twitter, (x)

The complexity and contradictions were illustrated by Tim Begbie, the lawyer representing the eSafety Commissioner in court. He said that in other cases X had chosen of its own accord to remove content, but that it resisted the order from the Australian government.

“X says […] global removal is reasonable when X does it because X wants to do it, but it becomes unreasonable when it is told to do it by the laws of Australia,” Begbie told the court.

I thought Sauia Arabia put up a shed load of cash as well ?

Elon had a cunning plan

Log trips, in straight lines, with sealed roads.

Back in the day I have done many long trips across deserts, would never recommended a Goldwing. Pefered my KTM 640, long range fuel tanks and even that was a struggle in heavy sand.

but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism

Yeah nahhh, like the Buddhist symbol was co-opted by the Germans, the commandments are used as a dog whistle by fascists now.

If it was about being Christian they would have used the Beatitudes (words of Christ) not the commandments. If it was about being chest thumping American they’d put the cononsitiution there, speration of church and state etc.

We know WHY they don’t use the Beatitudes, because theae fuckers are as close to being Christian as Hitler was to being Buddhist.

Gandhi’s famous quote summarizes whats so wrong with Christians doing stupid shit like pinning 10 Commandments to the wall, they have little resemblance to Christ

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Mohandas Gandhi

Arch is it, u know this :)

Ropes I Austriali? Our tongue is stuck so far up Uncle Sam’s arsehole we can taste their coffee before they do.

Smearng shit around your asshole with paper might have appealed to 8yr old me but no longer is it the mischievous fun it was in the long ago.
