Yeah no, “you think they’re hostile because of an accent”? Please. The interviewer themselves says something to the effect of “I must say I think it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask” which then gets him to ease up about it and explain himself. Either way, not hallmarks of a great educator, at least in that interview specifically. I think someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson would have handled the question in a better manner. Anyway, not worth having an internet debate over; especially not when you’re going to get downvoted for disagreeing.

I don’t really assume since Im basing it off what I watched of the interview and come to that opinion. He just seemed unnecessarily hostile/antagonistic to the interviewer when it came to that question. Being a “great mind” doesn’t really excuse it and detracts being a good educator imo.
Great video. I mentioned it in a discussion about the strangulation porn ban in the UK; specifically the “women strangled by a partner are 750% more likely to be murdered by said partner” statistic. Someone chimes in with “that sounds like a completely fabricated stat”. I have to assume due to the name that came after Dr. That magnet interview wasn’t particularly flattering either.

I somehow stumble across 30 rock compilation videos on YT. Hilarious looking show, already grabbing the first season. One of those shows I’ve always heard about but never got into, much to my regret.

It is somewhat but it may need to be revised.
Section 93ZAA of the Crimes Act, which took effect in August, makes it an offence to publicly incite hatred towards another person or group on the grounds of race.
Spot on with the rest though. These shit heels are specialised at weaselling their foot into doors.

2·14 天前No argument here. Even if they didn’t; the moment they realise it was a rally of dudes clad in all black with their faces covered spouting bs; they should have issued move on orders. Yep, it violates the inciting racial hatred act. It’s worth pointing out that maybe it “slipped passed them” but my doubting that aside, incompetence is not a defence; as any cop will tell you.
The commissioner said he would review that decision and added he did not know the protest was taking place due to an internal “communication error”, and that he had failed to brief the government.
ABC.
Thanks rimu appreciate your responses. I just assumed as I don’t see any on my Aussie.zone account but they just may be federated with less instances or something.

This user came into a post about a doordasher posting that they had gotten punished by the company after complaining of sexual assault. Bennyboy posted to the effect of “everything is assault these days” and went on to assert that the woman in question was “probably shit her job and made it all up”. They are quite literally a “nice guy” if their flipping out didn’t make that apparent already. Edit: I’ll just leave this here

Seven figures while semi-literate? If you say so. The way you type is strikingly close to another clearly unwell poster that posted similar grandiose claims.
