@NewbieTwee @bill_dobell @JT3228440527570 Was that long enough? I should probably check my emails at least.

@m_underscore_c @bill_dobell @JT3228440527570 My reply to your final question is in the affirmative! Now go away, lest I become intolerant.

Nothing says “we’ve got crime under control” like putting the police on a shared-gun roster. ‘Victoria Police has revealed all uniformed officers will hand in their personal firearms and instead share communal guns in a multimillion-dollar shake-up from the end of 2026’.

@kpmuddle @6NewsAU So men from cultural backgrounds based in chivalry, and men from cultural backgrounds featuring honour killings, those men are all the problem equally?

@m_underscore_c @6NewsAU *men are the problem. All nationalities

@DailyShortsHQ @RealDeanCain Mallory went over to the dark side

@PIAccount1 @FromKulak Polygyny's making a comeback. Help with the housework, child minding. Three or four adults in one household solves a lot of modern problems.

@FromKulak If I had children with multiple women, under modern rules, I'd be a deadbeat dad for most of them, and most of my kids would hate me. I arguably should have had more kids with my wife (& we may try for another 1 or 2), but modernity makes it harder for men to have lots of kids.

There’s no reason for your bodycount to ever exceed single digit ” What about chads!?” A true chad has 8-20 kids with 4-6 different women, reproductive success when you’ve had sex 1-5 times with 50 women and kids with none, you aren’t adaptive. You’re a disease vector

@GreenTyler27 Defining it as 'abuse' brings it under the mandatory reporting system.

Australian Christians need to pay very close attention to what is happening in Tasmania. For 2,000 years, Christians have prayed with people seeking to turn away from what the Bible describes as sin. That includes prayer and pastoral care relating to sexual behaviour, just as it includes prayer about greed, adultery, anger, addiction and every other area of life. These practices are central to historic Christianity. The Tasmanian Greens’ proposed Conversion Practices Prohibition Bill has raised serious concerns because critics argue it could expose parents, pastors and Christian counsellors to legal consequences for engaging in some forms of standard faith-based guidance with children. The proposed consequential amendments would link certain prohibited conversion practices involving children to the legal definition of child abuse. Whether or not supporters intend that outcome, Christians should not dismiss the significance of this proposal. Laws shape our culture and unclear laws can have a chilling effect long before anyone is ever prosecuted. If pastors, parents or churches begin to fear that ordinary biblical counselling or prayer may attract complaints or investigations, many will simply remain silent. Australia has long recognised freedom of religion as a fundamental liberty. Christians should insist that legislation clearly protects the freedom to preach, pray, disciple, parent and provide voluntary pastoral care in accordance with sincerely held religious beliefs. Protecting children from coercion and abuse is a legitimate objective, but so is protecting the freedom to practise and teach one’s faith. This debate is about more than one bill. It is about whether Australians will continue to enjoy the freedom to live out and pass on their religious convictions without unnecessary state interference.

@RSTYCG He'll be voting Democrat from now on.

Get this man in office

Now that’s some incredible parking 🤣

@realMaalouf Does their clitoris grow back?

A Muslim woman explains what Muslims get in heaven: “Allah will reward men with 72 virgins. But women will be forever young and beautiful. We’ll live in gold palaces. Allah will give us silk clothes, diamonds, and slaves to serve us for eternity.” I’ve never seen a more materialistic and carnal religion.

@Berna7224 Eight years of building over at Splinterlands, so far.

Is anyone still pushing gaming forward? Who are the top tier builders & creators that still have belief in gaming? I have seen so many pivots from web3 gaming to AI stuff, so many creators simply give up on web3 gaming and pivot somewhere else or simply give up on creating content.. Do we have any real chances at this working out? I am genuinely worried.

@BitBenderBrink Splinterlands is still growing, still building; 8 years strong so far.

Yes. Plenty of people are still pushing gaming forward, more than the timeline makes it feel like right now. Here's the thing about the pivots you're watching. Most of what got called web3 gaming was never really gaming. It was a web3 project with a VERY thin game bolted on the front. The energy went into the token, the mint, the earn mechanics, the treasury. The game was the wrapper. When the market turned, there was nothing underneath worth keeping, so the whole thing folded. That's the part worth learning from. The teams that make it from here are the ones building fun first. Loops that actually work. Games people want to open on a random Tuesday with no financial reason to. The moment the pitch becomes play to earn or extract value, it starts to come apart, because sustainable game economies are genuinely hard to build. Balancing a closed economy in a normal game with no cash-out is already a real challenge. Now add real money on the way out, plus bots, plus cabals farming every edge, plus everyone optimizing to drain the system. It tears itself apart. We have all watched it happen over and over and I am personally pretty sick of it. @ForkedGG is one of the projects working on a different layer of this. They're not making a game. They're not pushing a title or a token or some economy you have to buy into. They build tools that help game developers keep their games alive, and a community and ecosystem they can grow on top of. Nobody there is trying to be the main character. The games and the people playing them are the whole point. Yes, there's decentralization in what they do. It's a mechanism though, part of the tech stack, not the mission. It's there because it happens to be a good way to deliver the thing every gamer actually wants, which is better games that last longer and stay fun. So don't lose heart. Gaming is fine. A lot of the noise that called itself gaming is leaving, and that clears room for the people who were here for the games the whole time.

@DavidWolfe It's getting worse. I died at least 4 times so far this week

Do you remember when we all died from being unvaccinated?

Due to the recent Splinterlands proposal, I've decided to substantially increase my accumulation of SPS. My view is based on a simple business principle: expenses should be covered by income. If this proposal passes, I believe it gives much greater confidence that DEC will continue to be defended and that SPS at or below $0.005 also becomes a priority to defend. This isn't financial advice, it's simply how I'm interpreting the long term incentives. If approved, the $0.005 level becomes significantly more important for SPS than it has been in the past.

@craigkellyAFEE We're still cattle to them; nothing's changed.

And leftists cheered on the police.

@walterkirn Bob Hawke running for election promising that 'By 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty'.

What is the most inaccurate expert prediction about the future that you know of? Collecting them for a project.

@TheDeFinvestor @Clayboyn

Craziest thing I've seen in a while: • Someone buys $4M worth of BONK • Then posts a DAO proposal asking to transfer $20M in BONK to themselves • Waits 7 days without anyone noticing • Then votes "yes" with their own BONK holdings, and the proposal passes • $20M is transferred to them And now the Bonk team has suddenly realized they lost $20M. This wasn't even a hack. The proposal passed because no $BONK holders checked the governance forum. Insane to see the current state of DAOs.

Name an actor who deserves more recognition.
