Is this compass?

They're a tax rort that happens to have a webapp

Blue maga bots.

I'm.

Not.

American.

Yeah that's exactly my point. Funding is *already* case by case. Not means tested (because that's a very blunt instrument) but decided based on what the participant needs. Un-met needs.

If any cuts are made to a plan they will be missed.

Who? King Charles?

Wrong country.

This is awful.

I'll probably get one.

I'll probably like it.

Looks like the stairs that go up to sacre cœur

If the system hadn't become a neoliberal cash cow, these people would all be in jail.

Or at least not audited enough.

Occupational therapist agencies are so so bad for this.

They'll send an unsolicited email *and charge ndis for it*, even if your reply was always "I'll contact you". All the while they won't provide the assistive equipment you need but will gladly drain your budget

It sounds fine to say "means test it - we don't want to waste money on people that have everything they need", but if you think about actually having a disability and also money, you realise they're doing fine.

The rorting is (as always) coming from business exploiting a system that's not audited,

If I was wealthy, my wife would already have private physio, private OT, the house would have already been modified - everything would be at our disposal because of course a rich person would be able to meet their needs.

So much of this is built into the process of getting on ndis to begin with.

They see what you already have access to and then budget for what you *need*.

Assuming the process works as described (big assumption but bear with me), it should be clear that any cut means a need not met.

FUCK YEAH I KNEW I MARRIED INTO WEALTH

This is not helping that unnerving suspicion that life is a simulation.

Looks like a tech demo for an electronics convention.

This is how you unite the left

It makes me sad as a sometimes creative person that people have a creative urge and they feel it has to be expressed in a way they're not suited to, so they compromise on their creativity by settling for AI slop.

If you can prompt a good picture then you can write a poem. That's all a prompt is.

That's probably the least generous reading of what they said.

So often when accusations of slop are levied at someone, their retort is that they can't draw.

Yep. The response to that is always "ok but things could also be better. Why don't we do that?"

That "end of history" shit in 1991 really rotted political brains. Things can always get better. We don't fuckin live in heaven.

Me buying a lot of fast food: Haha fuck yeah!! Yes!!

Me eating all that fast food: Well this fucking sucks.
What the fuck.

What a wonderful morning for a compass outage so I can't sign my kid in to school as sick.

Governments shouldn't buy software for an entire state to use without also having to use it themselves.

Trump and his cronies.

Which at this point is the entire bourgeoisie.

Let's expropriate their ill-gotten fortunes.

leftists are my greatest adversary because they are destroying america destroying america or being rude to you online? being rude to me online

liberals on this microblogging website

Thumbnail like that is making me not want to watch it. Like in yt thumbnail land xi is the only Chinese person in the world

Is there a gist to it?

The Rebel Wilson case is so satisfying to watch because she’s just as nasty as you’d think. Big friendless loser energy.

If her and Ruby Rose had beef with each other it would keep sydney’s lawyers in business for three hundred years

Camby *and* Langy? Have you been following me around?

I never said I was from the USA.

But yeah, my country sort of sucks at oil for similar reasons. 2 refineries left and one was on fire last week.

Why is it a death sentence? USA is self sufficient. It just can't keep line-go-up in wall street. Big whoops. People still exist no matter what the paperwork says.

If the petrodollar becomes the petroyuan, that's the end of the empire.

Bring it

Too many sacred sites around there.

I'd rather it wasn't built due to either economic conditions or just a series of unfortunate accidents plaguing those involved with starting the build.

Bristly floor scrubber in tight circles can break up the lines a bit. At a distance you may still see distinct patches, like a Rothko painting.
