24 years isn't a bad run for a marriage in this day and age tbh, shit happens, personally I wouldn't hold it against him.
But he chose to play the game of the 'family unit' and 'traditional marriage' and what not, so now of course he is going to suffer the consequences of his hypocrisy.

TTIM: That while ctrl + z is often the shortcut for undo in programs, the shortcut for redo is always something different, whether ctrl + y, or ctrl + shift + z, or some other convoluted combination.

I wonder why I'm asked a raft of questions in many cases when the questioner doesn't appear to have any valid reason for asking them. Particularly when I have already answered the questions at least once before - for example on a second admission to the same hospital. Of course, all that would be solved if we had a national ID number.
On the matter of gender - gender is not the correct word if you being asked a question about your sex. I don't care what anyone says, the two words do not mean the same thing.
Well for example, why does a job application need to ask your gender when they can't discriminate anyway, in fact any smart, large organisation would not ask it just to make it impossible for anyone to claim discrimination was involved in the decision (especially when you could argue that you can't infer someone's gender these days when interviewing them for example).
It doesn't really make a difference to me, I just think it's stupid tbh, and basically goes back to what you're saying, why do forms often have pointless questions especially when the goal should be simplicity if they want the form filled in.

I meant time frame wise
Given the speed the government works at, and given it would be a massive change to the financial system, 5-10 years.
I reckon it would be extremely appealing though so government could speed it up, new currency could utilise the blockchain but make it not anonymous for the government, rip tax avoidance and illegal shit
Literally crypto will lead to the exact opposite of it's goals lol.

I wonder why there are now 5 gender options when completing a form.
I also wonder what the purpose of such a question is most the time TBH, I feel like its a pretty irrelevant question nowadays.

I wonder when crypto will be the primary form of currency
When each government converts their own currency into a cryptocurrency.

Honestly the whole world knows this is the most retarded issue going around, and its somehow been going on for 25 years, with the rest of the world laughing at the massive
.
How one country thinks they can have any say in what another calls itself is beyond me. There is a geographical region called Macedonia, and in it lies a country called Macedonia and three regions in another country with the term Macedonia in their name, where is the problem? None of them even have the same name, and even then unless you had two nations with the same name, I dont see an issue.
The Greek argument is that it implies some sort of territorial claim, like a NATO member has anything to worry about from a small country? It's ridiculous.
These protests highlight probably the strangest part of it, the protesters don't even want a composite name with the term Macedonia, a solution that would be an outrageously great win for Greece, but they're not having it.
Hence why it's been going on for so long even though it's in everyone's interests for it to be resolved, I doubt a composite name would even pass a referendum in Macedonia, while even that isn't acceptable to a lot of people in Greece.
This is actually the closest it's ever come to being resolved, because you have both government willing to accept a composite name, but it doesn't seem either population is keen on it, and in Macedonia it will have to be a referendum, so we'll see what happens. I think it either gets resolved with a referendum passing, or if the referendum fails at some point the EU & co will put pressure on for Greece accept Macedonia joining EU & NATO under a provisional name in which case Greece loses all leverage anyway and the issue will probably never be resolved but it will be of little consequence.
So, to answer your original question, my thoughts are the protesters are pretty misguided, this is Greece's best chance at a resolution in their favour, and I'm not sure if the chance will come again. Personally I'd like to see any referendum rejected just because the whole thing is a joke as I've outlined above and I think eventually EU/NATO will get a bit desperate to get Macedonia in and will tell Greece to basically fuck off. They've already invested too much to make it happen, and will probably try to rig any referendum, but if they cant, dont see what other play is left for the EU/NATO to get this all finalised then to pressure Greece into becoming more realistic with their demands.

Also streamed on on twitch (?) Iirc.
I missed that, going to be interesting to see how many viewers it gets.
TBH hard to know how it will go, but I do think this is doing more for the game FIFA than it is doing for the A-League.

Whats going on in this thread?

Meh, you can doubt esport all you want but the numbers are there for it. I just doubt whether FIFA is going to achieve a lot, who knows. I'm still under the assumption that no one involved in this actually knows about esports, seriously whys it on foxtel? Large part of esports success is that its streamed online for free. I also dont see what new fans you're going to get from it if it's on foxtel. Unless foxtel have paid a bunch of cash for it, in which case I guess it's fair enough.

"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices" - Adam Smith
The current cryptocurrency craze was orchestrated via a meeting between the heads of AMD and Nvidia in Santa Clara, Clarifornia, in late 2016. They realised if they pumped a couple billion into the market each it would generate a massive chain reaction in pricing. Worst case scenario they'd maybe lose a fraction of their investment, best case scenario they'd not only profit on the cryptocurrency but make an even greater profit on the demand for GPUs that would be created.
A year and a bit later, crypto prices are fucked, GPU market is in complete shortage with prices skyrocketing even while AMD and Nvidia increase output, and both companies are laughing all the way to the bank.
Stay woke.

The ffa are giving it a good push with a fair bit of media and what not, but the whole thing is a bit meh for me still.
Guess it's worth seeing how it goes and it probably isn't costing a lot, but fifa isn't a strong title as an esport so can't see it achieving much more then being a bit of a gimmick.
Wouldn't mind seeing clubs pursue a more broad esport agenda, AFL is giving it a good go but I don't think they've got it right either.

Labor's David Feeney has resigned likely to be replaced in the by-election with the ACTU president Ged Kearney.
Greens are re-running Alex Bhathal and she is likely to win delivering another seat to the Greens.That's great and all, but let's talk about the real story of the last few days.
Government so incompetent they sold off filling cabinets full of top secret documents
Now of course instead of making sure they're not so retarded in future they'll be making it illegal for journalists to report classified documents.
I guess nanny state needs to nanny state itself a little, can't very taking responsibility for its fuck ups.

In light of these shenanigans, would everyone like me to put together a rolling ranking of forum intelligence. Naturally I will be at the top and @Tesla will be lower than he deserves.
@playmakercan spell good so he will be ranked higher than most of you would expect me to put him.
Undecided where @Embee should be and @haz will find out the hard way that making me laugh doesn't make you smart.
Anyway addressing @jw1739 point, all ya wives and gfs suck. What yall gunna do? Fight me?
Anyone who wishes to claim a higher place then me better submit standardised, supervised, intelligence test results to backup their claim.

100% agree.
The fact people argue dogs vs cats makes me laugh, fuck cats
Cats are fucked, you can see it in their eyes that, if they could, they'd kill you for a laugh, regardless of whether you take good care of them etc.
Dogs on the other hand, give them a bit of food every once in a while and they'll fucking die protecting you.

There were litterally a thousand around us who could help rather than waking past each other giving each other Seppo Bullshit High Fives in their shit trainers.
Bet 90% of the people that work there only do it so they can say 'I work for Apple' and try disguise the fact they have a shit retail job.

Nah you're right, it does come down to doing your due diligence. My comment was more a general one, it does seem that maccas is a good one for example, but the majority seem to be scams.
Charge you too much, force you to do expensive as fuck refurbs, if you're doing well they'll just open another next to you, etc. A lot of people must be not doing their due diligence signing up to ones with some of those dodgy terms. Not sure how much value you even get out of a lot of them, shit like Gloria jeans or Donut King or whatever the fuck isnt even that strong a brand.
Also a lot of them, even if they aren't scams, if the owner can actually do well off it it's a lot down to their individual attributes as much as anything in which case they could probably do well in a different business and don't need to be franchising.
I just hate fucking franchises tbh, shit for customers, generally shit for franchisees, generally only good for franchiser.
