The final step in this recipe didn’t say “enjoy!” so I ate it, but was miserable the whole time.
5·8 hours agoYeah IIRC a while ago Aldi ran an ad campaign which was basically “look, we know we don’t have everything you want, so you’re going to go elsewhere. Just come to us first for the bulk of your stuff, hey?” Pretty clever, if you ask me.
I’m with Woolies Mobile, which gets me 10% off of one shop per month. I signed up when they had some really great long-expiry plans so I pay only about $12 per month on average, paid annually instead of monthly. The catch was…right after I recharged for the second time, they announced you can no longer use the monthly discount on online orders.
It was about that time they made their Delivery Unlimited worse too, though I forget exactly how.

omg I thought 3 pointed down and couldn’t think of anything that goes “all ____” and “____ all”, even with the clues…

It’s for online delivery and direct to boot orders I assume, but no thanks.
Though I haven’t used online delivery or direct to boot orders since they decided you’re not allowed to use your monthly discount on anything other than in-store.
Decided not to cook it for dinner though.
You sure? I hear it goes well with beef Wellington.

1·2 days agoYeah, stations being too close together is not really fixable at this point (unless they were to decide to just shut down some stations entirely, which seems very unlikely and may not really be a good idea). But driving faster, and giving proper right of way at traffic lights is definitely doable.
Transcription
The “Let’s See Who This Really Is” meme, wherein Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a villain to reveal who it really was.
In this version, Fred has Winnie the Pooh edited over his face, and the Chinese flag edited over his chest. The initial masked bad guy is labelled “Hong Kong protesters”. The first frame is captioned “Let’s see who these protesters really are!”
The next two frames have Winnie/Fred holding the mask, looking back at people behind him, then back and the bad guy, who is labelled “Regular Hong Kong people”.
The fourth frame has Winnie/Fred look back behind him again, and is captioned “See? I told you it was the CIA!”
That title would be pronounced “see eye eye”. Maybe that’s an extra joke and I’m just whooshing, but it mildly (actually, what’s less than “mild”, but more than zero?) bothers me.
6·3 days agoNone of what you said is new to me, or likely to anyone in this thread. And apart from the last two paragraphs, none of it is even controversial.
The penultimate paragraph is a bit misleading. It’s not that Taiwan is not “a legitimate national government”. It’s that its claims to be the national government of all of China were obviously bullshit for a government that had not had actual control over mainland China for over two decades at the point that UN recognition changed.
The last paragraph is true in the sense of what is official recognised, but obviously incorrect in reality. Taiwan is an independent country as a matter of fact and has been since the end of the civil war. I’m not interested in what they claim, or the PRC claims, or America claims, or even what Australia claims. It is an entirely separate country that maintains entirely separate foreign policy, separate defence force, and entirely operates its own internal affairs. In no real sense is it part of the same country. And that’s what actually matters. Anyone who claims Taiwan is not an independent country is doing so for political reasons, and their discussions on the subject should be treated with significant scepticism. At best, they’re playing a game of realpolitik. At worst they’re talking bullshit.
I know which is going on here.
Taiwan has been an independent country for over three quarters of a century. So yes, a forceful invasion of another country for the purposes of exploiting its resources and population would be colonialism.
Nice deflection. We’re not talking about what happened 400 years ago. We’re talking about what’s going on right now.
Yes, the pre-communist, pre-republic Chinese imperialism against the native Taiwanese population was bad. It doesn’t justify modern-day imperialism from the PRC, any more than poor treatment of the various central Vietnamese native populations would justify Chinese imperialism against Vietnam. Or indeed any more than Australia’s treatment of its Indigenous population would justify China deciding to invade Australia.
Your blatant whataboutism is not a defence of China here.
to violently oppose China and Taiwan unifying their governmental and national defense structures
You say that as though there’s any prospect of that happening by any means other than violent colonial oppression on the part of the PRC.
5·3 days agoSome serious problems with this bill, even after scrapping the racial vilification section and splitting the gun laws into a separate bill.
