The base level of storage and cost of upgrading to higher storage should be cheaper, but micro SD cards are garbage, especially on android. I had nothing but problems with them on mine, leading to me ignoring the slot on my last few phones that had one.

I'd love to spend less money on groceries and every day costs but it's just not possible with the prices of everything going through the roof like you said. People are still spending more because they have to.

The government seems clueless on what to do. Their only action is for the RBA to increase the interest rate and then hold onto their butts and pray.

This tournament alone has already generated hundreds of millions of dollars for the economy.

We don't have a world cup hosted here every year though, so that's besides the point.

Not to mention the outright positive social, mental and physical health ramifications of football inspiring a whole generation of kids to play sport.

Soccer clubs already exist. Hell I played soccer for 10 years myself socially. Why does the federal government need to fund anything when it already exists?

You could not be more wrong.

Almost all of the womens sports leagues run at a loss and are propped up by the mens leagues. FIFA themselves said at their estimates this entire world cup will break even at best.

Good. The federal government shouldn’t be funding sports, especially women’s soccer which provides less than zero return on investment. 99% of the people caught up in Matilda fever won’t watch another game or go to another game unless we get another World Cup.

Installed and set it up and it’s a very nice and impressive app! Will jump between voyager, memmy, and this to see which one I stick with.

Calling it a strike system is stupid because they hand out multiple strikes at once. It really is a demerit point system like a drivers license.

A feature of a scam is broken? Wow how unexpected.

What’s the point of posting this knowing that it’s paywalled and not even giving us a summary?

That’s why it’s not a good idea though, because complete anonymity is of course going to be a calling card for the worst of the worst illegal content.

Can’t say I’m surprised that a file sharing site that advertises complete anonymity was being used to spread illegal and I’m guessing disgusting things.

I’m surprised that anyone thought it was a good idea though.

Dementia is the worst. I would take dying of cancer or getting hit by a bus over Alzheimer's or Aphasia or other forms of dementia. Truly the worst way to live your remaining years, which often is decades.

Didn't fool me though because it doesn't matter who wrote what I replied to.
