atheists: *spend the last decade warning people about the dangers of giving too much power to religious institutions and accepting wild claims without evidence*
everyone else: "ugh, atheists are so annoying"
2025: here, have some christofacism. oh, and I'm taking your vaccines.

So this has happened to us a bunch of times now the past few years. Including today.
You're obviously doing this on purpose, does it make you that much money in interest holding people's money unlawfully for a week or two?

Qantas customers left without access to thousands of dollars of their own money for days as calls go unanswered
Qantas customers express anger and confusion on social media, saying they have been charged multiple times for flights, but the airline says an issue with releasing pre-authorised funds is to blame.

In a bit of a Star Trek hole now that season 3 of Strange New Worlds has ended. It's making me miss The Orville too. They've both had some hard hitting episodes and arcs, and this is a bloody weird time to be alive and a nerd.

It seems that there's three camps now.
1 Fascists are cool, trans people should be eradicated from society.
2 Grifters should be able to profit from blatant lies and inciting hate.
3 We shouldn't sanitize or mourn dead grifters.
Which are you?

So assuming civilisation makes it to 2033, who's planning the commemoration/memorial? of the nazi book burning of the German research in to same sex attraction and #transgender people?
We've gone so far backwards since 2009 when I was diagnosed, maybe in 2033 we can go forwards again?

So these rise up straya people seem to have a lot of issues with the results of 50 years of neoliberalism (despite voting for it), and blame it on migrants.
It's the Nazi, then MAGA playbook, but they've self radicalised through networked idiocy and illiteracy rather than been lead by a grifter.

Are we doing enough to remove religion from public life in Australia?
There should be no blanket anti discrimination and tax law exemptions for them.
They should get no reverence in media, no lobbying, and no say in education, health or legislation.
None.
Evidence and human rights are paramount.

@ranzcp.bsky.social sorry, how the actual fuck does someone like Jillian Spencer become not only a doctor, but a psychiatrist?
How did some of your members support her?
I just watched her interview with commercial newstainment channel 7, it was disingenuous to say the least.

Not happy that Australian companies, who formerly would have used either their own driver or a taxi, are now using fucking uber.
They're an unethical, criminal company who's business model deliberately undermines workers rights and conditions, and now we've gone and normalised that shit.

It really appears as though stupid people are so attracted to hero worship, which then further blinds them to evidence.

I grew up pedal powered, got in to triathlon after my first deployment, haven't been on bikes much since discharge
Got back on my MTB this year, yay!
I have questions, when did roadys all get disc brakes?
Does nearly everyone have an electric motor now? Seems like it.

Glad the conservatives got rejected, means the LNP in QLD won't go full trumpian

Did school drop off, home about 9 AM, it's sunny and getting warm, put on the AC at 24, and plugged in the wife's EV to slow charge. Solar is already generating nearly twice what everything is pulling this early.
Just sucks that we don't have solar on every roof & batteries throughout the grid.

It's so ridiculous that both major commercially owned parties can't figure out how to fix our broken housing system
It's so simple, right now, a regular person, can't claim their mortgage interest against their taxable income, but someone buying their second, third, etc house can
