If you don't like the comic, I recommend blocking the community dedicated to the comic, rather than spamming it with irrelevant comments.

I agree, letting parents do their job of parenting is the best way to deal with this. But the problem is that that's very difficult, and they currently lack adequate tools.

The best method would be to make sure operating systems support parental controls that parents can set, and require websites to respect those settings (and browsers to support an API passthrough of the OS setting). That way there's no need to do any age verification that sends sensitive data like ID or faces to third-parties with sketchy privacy policies.

Unfortunately, when moves were actually taken to implement this kind of solution, reactionaries pushed back and made sure it didn't happen.

Sure, the carnivore diet is dumb af. But what's the relevance here?

I believe Jono identifies primarily as an anarchist, and I would honestly not be surprised to see him leave the Greens for the Socialists, if they prove to be internally stable and have staying power. He's already relatively on the fringes of the Australian Greens nationally. Though his comments about how the Queensland Greens are relatively more leftist than the Victorian Greens is a very interesting one.

I hope that this comment is sarcastic.

Because yeah, their comment is completely reasonable. On my computer I'll always submit the segments myself. But the UX of doing it on a phone is just prohibitive.

You also missed rugby union, but from what I can see that doesn't have a particularly standardised length? In Australia I suspect most rugby union fields are probably 100 m because they just reuse the more popular rugby league grounds. Elsewhere it's probably the same as soccer.

I would suggest that "intellectual property theft" is a catchall for copyright and trademark infringement, but not for plagiarism. Because plagiarism is an academic concern, not a legal one or one related to IP.

Men's sheds would be the closest I think.

I've heard mixed things about them. It can depend on the individual shed, I think. Because the kinds of people who go to them are often the kinds of people who most need some sort of social support group, at times the reason they need that support group can be because—as one online commenter said—they "had done a pretty good job of alienating all their family and friends through being crusty old codgers from a young age, so now they had a bunch of people just like them to validate their shitty attitudes".

That's not always going to be true, and the online commenter who wrote that also said that they now go to another shed with a much more positive environment.

12 rugby league fields (measured try line to try line—i.e. disregarding the in-goal area).

island. Treasure Island, a famous story. Hope Island, off the Gold Coast. Island Press, a publisher focused on environmentalism, or a different publisher based in Australia.

No idea what a hope chest is.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Could you explain what this image and your comment are meant to be about?

Because if you think that Apple added this port just and only because of the yankable cable, and not to again be purposely be incompatible so they can squeeze more money out of you, then I have a bridge to sell you…

Why would they deliberately leave the ability to charge via USB-C, if that were the case?

I hope that bridge is going cheap.

Macs have had USB-C charging since 2015.

This was, in many respects, a downgrade, since Apple's proprietary MagSafe was seen by many as a valuable feature. Power cords that pop out rather than yanking the laptop off the desk if someone trips over it are pretty handy.

In 2021 Apple started re-including MagSafe on their laptops. But since doing so, the USB-C ports have also been able to charge the laptop.

So since 2015 they've been compliant with this law, and since 2021 they've had the best of both worlds, with either option working.

Which appears to be an actual page about copies of the Christian bible in the various languages of Afghanistan.

The ego + narcissism thing was also the big problem with Rudd's government. His own party room colleagues hated him because of his ego, and he put the cross-bench offside by refusing to do any sort of compromise with them, which is what gave the LNP a clear target to criticise.
