Alita: Battle Angel. I've heard there is a sequel planned, but it's been a few years since the first movie. James Cameron is still involved as a producer, but I guess his blue-skinned money machine has kept him busy lately.
Interested in #science, #environment, #gaming, #auspol, #australia, and more. Currently moving away from corporate social media to exclusively ActivityPub networks - find me on Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin.

Well actshually... Australia used to be run by right-wing nutjobs. The current mob in power are centrist nut jobs.
In my experience, the job that HR excels at is creating and perpetuating the view that the company needs a HR dept. Generally, the most unneccesary people in an office are HR.
Of course - any sane person would see that.
Like flies on shit, you cunts turn up after every tragedy around the world, trying to convince us to have MORE death in society. You sicken me.
When I was finished making "squee!" noises, I took my phone around to show each member of my household so they could also make "squee!" noises.
Counterpoint: faith and religion have caused more wars, misery, and death than any other single source in human history. We've had literally thousands of years of being led by religious leaders, maybe it's time to try something different. The world needs LESS faith.
I'll remind you that Hamas recruits children.> I'd argue that Israel does Hamas' recruiting, by murdering their parents.
Regrettably, political parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.
"Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register"
And Chapelle's comedy is cringe and awful, and completely unrelated to the topic at-hand. Nice strawman.
Oh, the guns aren't lethal. IT'S OK EVERYONE, THE GUNS ARE SAFE! SOME FUCKWIT TOLD ME SO ONLINE, WE WERE ALL WRONG!
I thought we'd seen the last of this turd when he resigned in disgrace. Now he puts on some crocodile tears and gets given a golden handout? Say what you like about Shanks' style and delivery, he always researched his stories and brought receipts. Barilaro is scum.
Bullshit that you keep repeating doesn't make it true. The legislation our govt passed in the wake of the Port Arthur tragedy makes our country a safer place for everyone.
Did you read the article, or are just cherrypicking a headline that suits your agenda? The article states that we have more guns in the hands of fewer shooters. Not great, but at least we're keeping guns out of the wrong hands. Australia licences guns appropriately, so hunters, farmers and hobbyists can still access the firearms that they need to. Your headline isn't the mic drop you think it is.
Internets sleuthing points to you!
A massive accidental overdose (150x) in a water system, leading to acute illness and one death, for those interested.
"Infamous" - that means more than famous!
Their religion has been telling them they're the "chosen ones" for thousands of years. Entitlement and victimhood are second nature.
My fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.
It won't be rebuilt with Palestinians in mind. Israelis have a long sordid history of building on the ruins of those they oppressed and displaced.
As an Aussie, I can say the trope of "everything wants you dead" is highly overhyped. I've seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I've mostly lived in rural areas) and there's a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you're very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don't have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it's mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.
And a towel.
Your implication is that our gun culture is getting more like the US, which thankfully isn't the case. Yes, I was surprised and dismayed by the stats, but as I stated above, less people in Australia own guns now than in '96, which is great news.
friends* Disney*
It hurt my eyes reading this mess.
Sonnie's Edge was the best LD+R episode (in my opinion). Developed from a short story by my favourite author, Peter F. Hamilton - well worth a read!
Kbin straddles both Lemmy and Mastodon 🙂
I refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least "kaysch" sounds better than "cash-ay"
I suspect you think you come across as some kind of cat-health lifestyle warrior. But in reality you sound like a selfish asshole. You know what the right thing to do is, but it's too haaaarddd! Waaah!
No I'm not. Kbin is part of both networks.
I came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
Trump's father's name was legit Fred Christ Trump, a racist POS.
It can kiiiiilll.
JFC, that took a turn. I hope you're ok today.
7hrs later, I can see the comment you're replying to. FYI.
There everything immoral and unethical in lobbying for legislation that protects abusers or shields them from consequences. Churches should stay the fuck out of lawmaking.
That was fun to read
Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you'll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they're passing through a eucalyptus area.
No. If you can't find it in an autopsy, did it ever exist in the first place? Too many people confuse 'soul' for 'mind' (IMHO)
You must realise that taking the side of the abuser doesn't look great for you... champ?
Based on your other comments in this thread, it's mighty bold of you to be using the word 'logic'. Why do you insist on putting words in people's mouths - I'm definitely not advocating for vigilante justice, or 'guilty until proven innocent'. I just want to reduce the protections offered to people who rape children. I can't imagine why anyine would be against that, like you clearly are. You're a bad-faith troll, or a child rapist yourself.
Brainworms. Fuck your freedum bullshit, we don't want or need your sick gun culture in Australia.
