I'm a privacy lawyer, trust me Cambridge analytica was the tip of the iceberg. The cabin in the woods option is looking more and more appealing every day.

No shit, its been obvious for many years. You only need to read the T&Cs of any company and youll find theres somesort of wording mentioning using your data.    But you would know this off the back of your hand.

The only active social media I have is this forum, snapchat and LinkedIn. Anything else uses different names, and different emails. Im sure they get my info somehow, but atleast it would be less then others

TTIM: How so many Alt Right Nerds who blame their problems in society on some immense SJW bias that they think blocks them and opportunities for them at every turn.

Its like I sorry boys but I am bloody in my mid 30's and I can tell you that if any bias is preventing you from: The Girl, The Job, or your  rightful Position in Society I can tell you for a fact that its not due to some New Age Feminist lead assault on men that is causing you these issues...

In fact its just the same bland plain old traditional bias that was within society in the 90's, the 00's and the 10's (And obv before) - And TBH if anything you should be fighting the Old School Traditional Status Quo in this Country rather than pretending a new Political Movement has gained so much momentum its robbed you of what in the past would have been yours.

And FWIW there are parts of my life I wish I could improve but I am dont blame where I fall short on the more idiotic SJW's (Who I dont know) who I see post dumb shit on Facebook for fuck sake. This country is still as close as u can get to a Meritocracy for males as you can find in 2018.

So many people say I can’t do ...... because I’m ......

(you name it: old, young, white, black, fat, skinny, pretty, ugly, the list of excuses is endless)

The truth is they can’t do .... because of themselves. If they put the same amount of effort into researching etc how to do whatever it is as they do whinging they’d be sure to achieve it. But oh no, it’s all some other bastards fault.

Losers always find excuses for why they suck, and always find someone to blame for their situation who isn't them. They'd rather believe someone else's got more power over their lives than they do because this damages their ego less than admitting they suck.

Avoid those cunts regardless of what side they're on.

TTIM: The cost of printer ink.

Went to refill the parents printer ink for them the other day and could not believe how ridiculously expensive it was.

$140 bucks to replace 4 cartridges when you can buy a new laser printer for $80. Anyone work in the industry or know why that shits so expensive?

Two reasons:

1. The ink you get with a new printer isn't actually as full as cartridges you buy later.

2. Printers are sold at no profit to then make the money off the ink later.

Ink cartridges in Tokyo are 1/3 of the price we pay here in Melbourne.

3. The Australia Tax imposed by foreign companies.

Holy fucking shit, what is wrong with people. Who gives a shit! Why are we even controlled still by the British. I'll let it slide if the people are English ex-pats, but fmd focus your attention on something more productive.

If I recall correctly, Haz is around my age, meaning that William's kids as well as probably Harry's future kids will definitely be getting married within our lifetime.

I'm just quoting the older aged group bracket people that use this point as reasoning for watching. I couldn't give two toss about the wedding.

No of course not, but the Windsors are the only ones who (currently) are heads of state for Australia

Cops raid a regular poker game coz the casino up here has the worst game running and they paint it as a "Casino" thats money laundering. Its around he corner from my apartment and I was looking to join this game, most of them a just friendly poker geeks being made out to be gangsters. Its fucking Brisbane FFS. 

QPS are worse than VICPOL.

VICPOL have pretty much been the best State Police Force since the Kennett years. A quick look at Corruption Cases shows that....

[HeartFc]

Ye I'm learning that pretty fast. Corruption aside, I copped my first petty speeding fine in 8 years for 6km over. I've also been pulled over 2 twice in the last 3 months for having vic plates, one of which was at 3am when I was legally sleeping in my van at a truck stop. Cops explanation for banging on my windows and shining a torch in my face... "we wanted to see what you were up to"... apparently answering "sleeping" is being a smartarse. 

A couple of people have told me since the bikie laws came in they've been given a license to be more aggressive towards everyone.

I'm sure they will in the presser. Tbh, if both the FFA and the AFL have dismissed it so easily, there's probably a pretty good chance that its just not there commercially.

People have a bit of a romanticism with Tassie, but lets be honest a sporting team is highly unlikely to work down there without someone really rich backing it.

Tasmania is propped up by the rest of the country in every respect. Football would be precisely the same. IMO a wise decision by FFA. (Write that down - JW approving a decision by FFA).

Maybe the Government backing wasnt enough? I know the stadium plan wasnt the best, but some of those shortlisted bids dont even have a stadium

If the bid is relying on government backing for anything other than building a stadium, it shouldnt even be considered tbh.

I guess thats a good point. There must be a reason why no sports have entered TAS, but if done correctly you have a whole (tiny) state backing a team.
