@MaxRovensky @Figure_robot Hmmm if anything that shows the extent of the impact of what we are replacing. That robot can learn to manipulate further at a way quicker rate (place this in another line, pick up a fallen object, etc.)

@Figure_robot watch it getting mogged by 20 year old tech again

The 6 key findings from the most comprehensive report on sexual violence during the October 7th massacre: 1. Hamas systematically used sexual violence as a tactical weapon during the October 7th massacre. There were clear patterns of abuse across multiple locations, and these continued in captivity. 2. The atrocities were rooted in Hamas’ deeply antisemitic, genocidal ideology that explicitly permitted extreme brutality and the dehumanization of Jews. This was not random or incidental. It was a calculated part of their genocidal strategy to terrorize and break Israeli society. 3. Sexual violence was widespread and systematic, occurring in at least six different locations: Nova music festival, Route 232, Nahal Oz military base, Kibbutz Re’im, Kibbutz Nir Oz, and Kibbutz Kfar Aza. The repetition across sites proves it was a deliberate strategy, not chaos. 4. The vast majority of sexual violence victims were murdered during or immediately after the assaults. This created profound evidentiary challenges, as the victims were permanently silenced. This unique reality requires an adapted legal and evidentiary approach by investigators and courts. 5. Every terrorist who participated in the October 7 attack bears full responsibility for all acts of sexual violence committed, whether they directly perpetrated them or not. There is collective command responsibility for these crimes. 6. The evidence is overwhelming. The patterns are unmistakable. The international community must treat Hamas’s use of sexual violence with the same seriousness it applies to other armed groups. Hamas must be held responsible, not just for the murders, but for the systematic sexual terror they unleashed on October 7th. The victims deserve truth and justice.

@SwingRequired @ShitValueFund What does that have to do with quantifying risk? And why would you assume the capitalist wants to try a high risk scenario again (or that he even has another idea)?

@OneOverNever @ShitValueFund If they fail, the losses can be carried forward against future gains.

You absolute dumb motha fukar Income is risk free. You don't risk your own money to make an income. You risk your own money to make a capital gain.

@realtake11 @ShitValueFund You can work for a salary for a product that will start generating revenue for a capitalist in a year. You make money every week for a year, the capitalist has to wait for a year and trust his prediction. You make money irrespective of that prediction’s success in a year.

@ShitValueFund How is labour risk free? People invest years on a trade or uni, and are rewarded for their time. People risk capital and make a return based on risk. Low risk, low return. High risk, high return. Go learn about investing. Retard wants government to reward him for taking risks.

@SwingRequired @ShitValueFund Risk is quantifiable, yes. Why shouldn’t that be considered? How many startup ideas fail vs the ones that succeed?

@ShitValueFund So you think taking a risk (gambling) means you should pay less tax on any gains? Seriously?

@PhysInHistory What a dumb parochial comment. The market is an information system for spontaneous order, why would it become obsolete?

When genetic engineering and artificial intelligence reveal their full potential, liberalism, democracy and free markets might become as obsolete as flint knives, tape cassettes, Islam and communism. - Yuval Noah Harari

@SimonBanksHB Let’s say this wasn’t mischievous, is it supposed to justify anything?

Just your friendly reminder that the Howard and Costello Government still comfortably retain the record for the highest taxing Budgets in Australian history With 24.2% of GDP in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Budgets

@Ben_Davison1 I don’t think you understand how immoral your stance is… and how mistaken you are on who’s affected by it.

80% of Capital Gains Tax discount benefits the wealthiest 10% of people That means 90% of us have been subsidising the wealthiest people to turn our homes into unproductive tax write offs Labor’s budget is trying to fix this inequity

@Andercot Romantic, but too parroquial

Interesting that there is such a thing as "anti-entropic force" and it is basically "whatever intelligent life is trying to do" and that this is somehow fundamentally connected to the forwards arrow of time.

@DrewPavlou Having wealth for so long has generated a sort of intellectual obesity on Aussies. They are literally clueless, once again, on the wall they are driving in 5th gear towards.

Australia is in the process of building the most retarded developed world economy

@TheKouk In other words: “Why solve a problem in society if you can’t factor in paying a bureaucrat?”

If tax policy is the fundamental issue for you when you are starting a business, perhaps stick to knitting ...

@aigleeson So you don’t want to credit content creators?

I cancelled YouTube Premium last week. The thing that replaced it costs nothing, runs in any browser, and was built by 361 volunteers on GitHub. Invidious does the four things people actually pay Premium for. No ads. Background audio on mobile. Watch without an account. Privacy from Google's tracking. All of it, free. The part that surprised me most is how clean the experience is. The entire page renders without JavaScript. Pages load in milliseconds because there's nothing to load. No tracking pixels. No autoplay traps. No recommended-for-you algorithm trying to swallow your evening. You can: → Subscribe to channels without a Google account → Get notifications when they post → Import your full YouTube subscription list in one click → Switch between dozens of public instances if one goes down → Self-host it on a $5 VPS if you want full control → Use it with the Privacy Redirect extension to auto-redirect every YouTube link The repo has been actively maintained for years. Latest release was February 2026. 100% Opensource.

@TheKouk You mention these as if they couldn’t be paid for in any other way than through taxes and inflation. You expect people to be thankful that bureaucrats are spending more than they take from us. You are a cancer.

I get it - people hate paying tax: I don't get it - they love Medicare, aged care, child care, the health system, air traffic controllers, the defence of Australia's borders, fire fighters, police, cheap scripts, free schools, the ABC, pensions for the elderly, trading the govt bond market & roads, to name a few.

@aziz0nomics @VerminusM So what exactly are you suggesting? Negotiate with a non-existent but legitimate entity? Please elaborate.

@VerminusM Are either of them actually legitimate? Both of them gained power through violence.

At some point the government of Israel is going to have to admit that denying a Palestinian state is both: 1/ counterproductive to Israeli interests 2/ unsustainable.

@Sarah_Haar_ If selling the investment property determines you being able to purchase your first home, then it doesn’t matter how often, it only matters that one time.

Don’t cry over possible changes to capital gains tax discounts without knowing how it even applies please. You pay CGT when you SELL a house that is NOT your main residence AND you make a PROFIT on the sale price. How often are YOU selling investment properties?

On the Australian budget: Budget analysis: 1) $31.5 billion underlying cash deficit in 2026–27, with $150+ billion more red ink over the forward estimates. Net debt climbs to $617 billion (19.9% GDP); gross debt breaches $1 trillion. Let’s call this what it is: future generations taxed or inflated to pay for today’s political promises. No real restraint, just slower spending growth (1.5% real) while claiming victory. Deficits crowd out private capital and fuel the boom-bust cycle. 2) $833 billion in expenses funds endless “initiatives”: $25 billion more for hospitals, permanent Medicare clinics, $5.9 billion in subsidized medicines, $3.7 billion aged-care subsidies, $2 billion housing slush fund, and $1.1 billion “cleaner fuels.” NEVER FORGET: Government cannot calculate economically, it only misallocates resources from productive private uses to politically favored ones. NDIS “savings” and infrastructure pork are just repackaged central planning that breeds inefficiency and dependency. 3) Stage-3 tweaks, $250 worker offset, and instant deductions are minor relief, but the real poison is CGT changes (scraping the 50% discount, 30% minimum tax), negative gearing restricted to new builds, and 30% minimum on discretionary trusts. These attack capital formation, housing supply signals, and private property. It is literally anti-growth: you don’t spur investment (generate work) by hiking the cost of it. 4) Projections of growth and a distant 2034–35 balance ignore how deficits + central-bank accommodation breed inflation (the stealthiest tax). Revenue upgrades from commodities and inflation are not prudence… they are temporary patches from global price booms and stealth bracket creep that make the deficit appear smaller on paper.

I wouldn’t call out the inconsistency on him already, we can still unpack the fact that most home buyers start out with an investment property to later leverage it and buy their first home. This: 1) Increases the need to live in worse conditions (first home is now a must). 2) Increases the circulating M3 supply generating inflation (!!!) As a result cheaper homes (and the entry to them) will increase in price as well. Albo is literally an agent of poverty.

If this is all about housing for young people then why are all our other assets being included such as shares , commercial property , industrial property what’s that got to do with housing ?

@AlboMP Agent of poverty.

We're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.
