As an Australian, it’s Irish accents that I struggle with the most.
Scottish I can deal with, probably from watching shows like Still Game and Burnistoun.
Most other UK accents are not to difficult to understand.
One odd thing, I was watching an USA wildlife documentary that was set in South Africa. I noticed they put forced subtitles on when ever the South African’s spoke in English. I found that bizarre as I’ve never had any trouble understanding when South Africans speak English.
The Telstra pay phone boxes near me now all have massive ridiculously bright screens displaying advertisements. For sure that is their primary purpose now.
Well I guess travel to or through the USA is off the cards for me until they have a regime change.
As far as laws regarding digital rights / freedoms go, we have no chance in Australia anyway as the major parties are all against them.
In fact the coalition has an even worse track record than labor.
Mostly because I fear the kids might get unfavourable treatment.
Our school principal reminds me of south park’s PC principal.
For my youngest I use pipepipe on an android tablet.
No ads.
No feed / recommendations.
Just the channels I subscribe to.
The final straw with stock android apps was years ago with my eldest when it showed an add for women’s g strings in the middle of a fucking educational video about cats.
Resisting the urge to send this video as a reply to the boot licking email my kids school sent to the parents regarding this bullshit.
Talk to molly about your mangina !
It’ll be down to the golden triangle being north of the river. And maybe midland and armadale being south.

It’s funny how the mainstream media has focused only on listing the big social media giants as being the targets.
I’ve also had a message from another not so mainstream hookup app that the proof of age is coming and to prepared to comply. How remains to be seen.
I must say I really like the idea of ordering a drink at a bar with the user name.
Will be interesting to see if that changes when the millennial’s boomer parents die and pass on the wealth. I think it will further divide the have and have nots with the wealth concentrating in fewer hands.
Are you aware of Labor’s 2009 plan to censor the entire Australian internet? It didn’t succeed back then thankfully.
There is no way that they will stop at just the big social media platforms.
This is about control and further removal of being anonymous.
It’s not even a liberal vs labor thing. They both have a history of bipartisan support for this type of bullshit. See: metadata retention, assistance and access, identify and disrupt laws.
Not true at all.
If anyone thinks that conservatives are going to lower migration in the slightest, let alone slash it then you might be interested in a bridge for sale.
Conservatives answer to the business council and real estate lobbyists. Both of which love high immigration. Only need to see the liberal party’s record on immigration since John Howard.
Conservatives also love our housing market just the way it is.

Is there a setting that can be enabled at the management end to allow Graphene to pass the device health check?
When my employer rolled out intune I had to get a second device to run their ms apps. This was after them trying to figure out a way to get them to work on Graphene.
It just goes to show how out of touch politicians are.
As a parent of two primary schoolers. (Yeah yeah cliché qualifier) Things I’m more concerned about than social media:
