The Chancellor speaks of what it was to be Australian. Being forthright and honest was always a central theme describing Australians yet today all we see are lies and distortions.While no sensible person condones the firebombings, lets put this in context. They were in protest against the atrocities conducted by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in Gaza. It's that simple and only narcissistic people will see the truth and disregard the facts. (Note, government and not those of the Jewish faith).I agree with other posters that this country is merely a shell of its former self, and that, unfortunately, is a direct result of allowing too much media influence being given to one person whose agenda backs up the fact that once too much power is allowed in the hands of a morally bankrupt group; well, nothing good has ever come from that.

You're missing some "context" there mate. Like the part where Hamas forces stormed into Israel, killed 1000 people and took 800 hostage which triggered all of this. (11)

So that makes it ok to murder 10s of thousands of civilians and children? (-4)

What resonates the most for me is that we have lost our sense of humour and larrikin spirit. People overseas have this perception of Australia and Australians as knock about good humoured people. We used to be, we aren't anymore, we take ourselves and issues far too seriously. (13)

HTF can your main post be about rising anti-semitism (which I agree is a bad thing), then in this comment you're saying "we take ourselves and our issues far too seriously"???So should I take anti-semitism seriously or not seriously if it isn't personally an issue for me?And what does larrikin even mean? Is some dumb frick with no real understanding of history (too busy being a larrikin in Year 10 to listen…) who does an 'ironic' nazi salute as a 'joke' a larrikin or an anti-semite? What about the same kind of person saying dumb, stereotypical stuff about muslims? Or Blackfellas? Or even women? Should we take them equally seriously or is that taking things 'too seriously'?I actually do agree with you that we have lost a lot of empathy, community and even mateship somewhere over the last little bit. Like the slow progress towards equality we made over the last generation has suddenly been battered back by economic pressure, splintering social connections, pervasive social media disinf... (5)

With that kind of attitude towards them, I can't imagine why you got banned before. It's a mystery for the ages. (1)

My 'attitude' of observing the fact they don't want to assimilate, they bring their hatred and cultural 'norms' that conflict with ours with them and then they have the expectation of we bend for them, and that is a bad thing for me to do? Muslims hate western society, and how we live, they make not secret of it and someone of us don't want to be hated in our own country…and that makes me bad? Why? For example, Sydney has seen a rise is gay bashings recently, violent thugs bashing lifeguards, Anti-Semitic fire bombings and vandalism. Last summer, it was a string of groping and sexual touching of women/girls at beaches, where they were let off because 'their culture doesn't know any better'. I wonder what 'culture' they are referring to. I wonder who is responsible for that. 🤔Violence is normalised and celebrated in their culture. It's not in ours. And recognising that's doesn't make me a bad person. (4)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

We are just mirroring what's happening all across the world.Bigotry and racism is a global epidemic and will only get worse while right wing propaganda spreads unchecked.Anti-Semitism is terrible of course but no worse than any other form of racism or hate crime.Will all racism/hate crime be classed as terrorism if Peter Dutton ever becomes prime minister or will that just be reserved for certain groups?All we can do is s stay vigilant and protect what we have and don't allow our politicians to politicise issues that don't deserve to be.

Anyway I'm pretty stoked how housing is going to get cheaper/available and construction labor is going up let's fricking gooooooooo

I better see KTVU filming ICE soon. If Boston is getting some LEO love I demand it NOW!

Remember that Mike Pondsmith, who invented all this crap, is a BLack man who has exclusively dated white women since he was a teenager so this is OK.

Anyway, I started the Dogtown part of the game (from the Phantom Liberty DLC) which is very good but the small area is a little too busy which causes some serious jank and framerate drops. The new car theft missions have caused my PC to crash a couple of times. Apparently the REDengine CD Project Red use is just not up to maintaining a game like this. They have already announced they're dumping it for future releases and rely on Unreal 5. I've had some shocking glitches while driving- cars appearing out of nowhere, falling out of the sky like that guy in Morrowind...

I even had a car spawn directly under me, catapulting my car 30 feet into the air. The game has avoided this from being too immersion-breaking by making almost every car that has collidedwith me driven by a woman.

There is a character in this game called 'Mr. Hands' who seemed to change his voice actor. This is controversial so I innocently googled "Mr Hands voice controversy"...

Yeah, they maybe should have checked that name before they used it.

pretend this is a huge deal and it means he's gonna get rid of medicaid next. say there will be backlash when realize theyve been duped now that they heckin' wholesome random money for other countries fund and more tacpayer dollars will go to domestic issues! Noooo

As many of you know, /r/neoliberal used to a be a rdrama-adjacent sub. Unfortunately, trans shitlibs hijacked the sub, converting it into a trans advocacy group and banning any conservative, any moderate, or anyone with a sense of humor. Some 'fugees fled here to become !neolibs

/u/farrenj is the most active in /r/neoliberal. She doesn't even claim to be a neoliberal, but a die-hard socialist. That she is the biggest poweruser in /r/neoliberal shows how little the community cares about neoliberalism anymore.

This happened on New Years and I don't know if someone already posted it nor do I care that it's a week old

Markiplier (the only popular youtube who hasn't touched a kid (yet??)) and also the most handsome between christmas and new year's, banned most of his subreddit mods, instated new mods, and laid out a couple of new rules (very very understandable rules, like "don't re-upload paid content or content I personally deleted from my channels")

The janny seethe is astronomical

(screenshot because I am lazy BUT ALSO because this ex-janny deleted all their posts after they got demopped in shame )

The thread is here btw

The strange thing is: most of these mods were inactive and shouldn't even be bitching at all (I guess I too wouldn't do my job if I wasn't being paid!)

Okay I stole this next bit from a pyrocynical video so I don't know where it got posted but I couldn't get the link if I tried (which I didn't) so please don't be mad, it's good seethe

Markiplier actually responded to this person, with this:

hikaru fails to win and gukesh refuses to win. after 3 draws, their 2nd tiebreaker is going on

edit: gukesh is victorious, in their bid to not win a match. (he lost if you are neurodivergent)

back to the main highlight, world no 2 caruana vs no. 31 sindarov

neighbor caruana accepts draw in a totally winning position and when i say total, totally. -5.3 on the eval bar winning. maybe the reason was he had a min on the clock and sindarov had whopping 24. whatever is the uzbeck version of voodoo, its working

they then had a nailbiting tiebreaker - that was a draw too and are currently playing their 2nd one. sindy will win it!

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.

Israel has been ranked last in the 2024 Nation Brands Index (NBI), placing it among the world's most underdeveloped and unstable countries, according to the report published by Anholt Nation Brands Index on Tuesday.

The findings, based on a comprehensive survey conducted between July and August 2024, highlight a growing global sentiment that perceives Israel as a destabilizing force rather than an innovative and progressive nation.

The NBI survey, which gathered insights from over 40,000 respondents across 70 countries, ranked nations based on six key dimensions: governance, culture, people and society, exports, immigration and investment, and tourism.

Governance measures perceptions of a country's political stability, transparency, and security. Culture evaluates a nation's heritage, arts, and sports. People and society assess friendliness, openness, and global employability.

Exports focus on technological innovation, product quality, and economic influence. Immigration and investment examine the country's business environment, attractiveness for relocation, and foreign investment potential.

Tourism considers a nation's appeal as a travel destination, the beauty of its architecture, and the general willingness of respondents to visit.

According to the NBI report, Israel performed poorly across all categories, particularly among younger respondents, with Generation Z overwhelmingly ranking it at the bottom.

The study also revealed a growing aversion to Israeli products, with many respondents indicating they were unwilling to purchase goods labeled "Made in Israel." This suggests a de facto boycott that could pose a serious risk to Israeli exports and international business operations.

Despite its reputation as the "Start-Up Nation," Israel's technological leadership is not widely recognized beyond specific industry circles. European respondents, for example, ranked Israel lower in technological advancements than the United Arab Emirates, reinforcing the idea that Israel's self-perception does not align with how it is viewed globally.

According to Motti Scherf, founder of Brand IL: "Israel has lost its legitimacy in the international community and has been cast into the backyard of global affairs. It is time to acknowledge the failure of traditional public diplomacy and adopt innovative nation-branding models."

Although Israel maintains high objective indicators, such as a GDP per capita that is 80% higher than the nations it is grouped with and a life expectancy of 83 years, its ranking remains exceptionally low. Only 40% of the countries ranked alongside Israel are democracies, suggesting that Israel's democratic character is not perceived as a distinguishing advantage.

The Palestinian issue also continues to impact international sentiment. For the first time, Brand IL, a private initiative, ensured Palestine was included in the rankings.

While Palestine was placed below Israel, it received greater sympathy in the Muslim world, China, and among younger generations. Additionally, the NBI report highlights a broader trend in which conflict nations are penalized equally, regardless of the context.

Countries involved in ongoing disputes, including Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority, were all placed at the bottom of the index, reinforcing the global perception that such nations contribute to instability rather than progress.

In response to Israel's deteriorating global image, the private initiative Brand IL has launched a $100 million rebranding effort aimed at reversing negative perceptions and repositioning Israel on the international stage.

The initiative seeks to establish a development financial institution, utilizing blended capital from governmental, business, and philanthropic sources. The focus will be on launching outreach programs in key target countries, particularly among younger demographics, to unlock new markets for Israeli technologies and innovations.
