Gina Rinehart demands National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait
  • As much as I would love if they did exactly that, I much prefer the public humiliation that Gina Rinehart is experiencing.

    All this faffing about trying to get it removed is only drawing more eyeballs to the piece, and I love that shit with my whole heart.

  • Kevin O'Leary warns student protesters are 'trashing' job chances by fighting police
  • I've been saying my whole life that the welfare system even here in Australia, while better than most, is a poverty trap. Barely enough to survive on, with you being expected to take even jobs you're not suited for in order to keep your payments.

    Ive been on it a couple times now and it's an absolute fight to get back out of it. At least I've got a good CV and interview well.

  • Just for counting? For speed also?
  • Where I'm at, there are "speed vans", these survey boxes are also used to determine where the speed vans should be placed, though the other uses such as vehicle weight/axle count others mentioned are the main function afaik.

    These speed vans are equipped with cameras that can capture several lanes and directions, from a great distance. You just drive past these things and they have a sign on top saying "your speed has been checked".

  • As someone who's done shift work the overwhelming majority of their career, fatigue is worse than being drunk.

    30hr sleep debt has you feeling horrible, struggling to focus, 40hr sleep debt has you acting drunk, feeling worse and bordering on dozing off.

    I had a week long caffeine withdrawal once due to not realizing how hard I was leaning on caffeine to get through each day. Week off came around, stopped all the coffees and spent most of my week of sweating bullets, shaking and in pain. Never again.

  • TikTok Ban Bill Becomes Law, Gives TikTok 9 Months To Sell
  • That's great to hear, genuinely the first positive impact I've heard of TikTok having.

    I will however state the obvious, you could find most, if not all the same information with a search engine.

  • TikTok Ban Bill Becomes Law, Gives TikTok 9 Months To Sell
  • Thankfully, I'm not forced to interact with any of those, it's not a problem here. Here in Australia, TikTok is everywhere, and I feel at times as if I'm the only one here that hasn't touched it, that doesn't stop my friends from ignoring the fact I've asked them countless times not to send tiktoks to me.

    One of said friends is a nurse, one of the smartest people I know. She told me how to do CPR based on what she'd seen in a TikTok, as someone that's done the CPR training, and actually performed it, I was really upset that her knowledge had been overwritten in a very short time of her TikTok addiction. I'm finding such cases are becoming more and more common kately and it's terrifying.
