I genuinely read the headline and thought "Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza", and then I realised the truth.

Which companies pay for WFH expenses? I worked for the biggest software company in the world in 2022 and there was no WFH allowance. We were 100% WFH at that point.

I have young kids and recently learned what Roblox actually is. My kids will never be allowed to spend a cent on that. I am happy to buy them suitable games.

There are a lot of things which can be done to start fixing it, but we won't even do those. Get rid of the capital gains discount and make investment losses only able to be counted against profit from that investment (not other income).

Then you can start looking at supply and liquidity issues.

Because everyone on the sole is lazy. Except when we need assistance in which case we're just a battler needing help, but everyone else is lazy.

It's hot in the sun! Sitting in a 2010s car waiting for someone and baking.

There's no mention of apples in the biblical record, just "fruit"

The US rolled our democratically elected government in the 70s and we still lick their boots to this day. You'd be forgiven for thinking I was talking about a country in the third world, but I'm talking about Australia.

What's your problem with smart dildos?

This is more like someone offering a "brand new method of personal travel" to replace your car, but it turns out that it's just an old Honda with only one seat, a fuel tank that only holds 10L, and a custom navigation app. There's nothing it does that your Honda can't do better, and you won't want to replace your Honda with this.

The problem is that I wouldn't have discovered most of the artists I like without streaming services. I go to concerts and buy merch instead.

Your problem is that you're relying on their algorithms, which are imperfect, and haven't given them much training data.

Personally I never use the radio function. I listen to artists I like, I listen to and create playlists I like, and I sometimes listen to recommended songs and add them to my lists if I like them. I would say that I have a pretty broad taste in music - but it's certainly not traditionally popular music. The last week or two I've been purely listening to my "liked" list because there are multiple thousand songs in it.
