I grew up on a property where surrounding farms deployed 1080, dad held one of our dogs in his arms as it writhed in pain and died from 1080 poisoning. Horrific experience, absolute cunts.

Indescriminant killing that has an unknown impact on the ecosystem.

It should be illegal to bait like that.

It’s also a potent recipe for huge profits for the every companies.

I would buy the pre-season pass in a heartbeat, if they guaranteed the replays be available on-demand. I live in Australia and the kick off time for Nurnberg is 3am for me, I’m not waking up at that ungodly hour for a pre-season match. Will have to try and find a dodgy replay somewhere, where’s the lemmy equivalent of reddits footballhighlights?

I dunno, haven’t heard much concrete movement on Eddie or Balogun, which is who I assume you’re talking about. I’d be surprised if they’re gone in a week.

Just lovely 😍

Music to my ears Lodion :)

I reckon it will be one of the stadium ones, maybe the one with the ball at his feet.

Have people pay a small fee to engage with the community. Ad revenue is not the only way to make money, remember the good old days when people actually paid for services that provide value?

Start with relying on donations and then make make it mandatory if required.

Ad revenue is a good way to make big profits, not just revenue, not something that we are interested in.

Curious, is your family American?

I was using Jerboa on Android but have since swapped to just using the browser interface, no app. I have installed the site as a PWA and it seems to work pretty well!

Corruption or negligence? And does it make much difference? The impact is the same. A huge waste of tax payer money.

I just finished watched Alone: Australia, one guy didn’t eat for over 20 days. Fasting may be a good option for avoiding needing to poo. I’d imagine you’d have to start that process maybe a day or two early. To get the best effect.

Yup, agree totally. Only way it can work is if the org running it is a not for profit with great transparency, which hopefully is what we will see with the likes of Lemmy etc.

There is an argument to make that things like reddit or even Facebook (original fb, not what it is now) should be publicly owned services. They CAN provide value to society, similar to how a town hall can.

What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I’ve noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.

I don’t really understand this sentiment, I’d rather pay a subscription for a service like fb / insta / reddit than have ads and my identity sold to the highest bidder.

Social networks are expensive to run, the idea they should be “free” is half the problem.

Though of course the enterprises behind them make far more money through advertising and mining user data than they would through a subscription model.

I think Havertz would be an excellent signing. Chelsea has been a hard place to look good, he’s a quality player in a shit environment and would undoubtedly add to our goal tally.

If we could get him for 40 or under then I reckon that would be a great deal.

Halve it I reckon, Chelsea are in dreamland… Would definitely take him though!

Such a weak argument anyway!

For one, like you say, it’s not even true. Even if it were true, who cares, how about we actually lead in some kind of progressive reform, instead of being a bloody backwater. Do we really want countries like the UK and USA to be our shining light of inspiration??

Politics and media over the last few decades have stunted Aussie and made us think that we cannot stand on our own too feet.

NSW has the highest concentration of pokies outside of Las Vegas, we have a massive gambling problem and yes many people seem to not understand it.

With the recent rise in sports betting bullshit the gambling companies are doing their best to embed this as part of Aussie culture, which is shameful.

Gambling, and in particular sports betting and pokies, are a fucking stain on our nation.

Where is talk about gambling reform in the greater cost of living discussion? It’s sure as hell not hoping, and it affects some of the most at risk groups.

It brings no value to our society.
