Weekend Links, 31 Jul – 1 Aug, 2021

Welcome to the Weekend Links, 31 July – 1 August, 2021! Lots of exciting things are happening at EZFKA, and we are going from strength to strength.

This is really good to see. Personally, I am extraordinarily optimistic about Australia’s future. I genuinely believe that Australia has become EZFKA, and that EZFKA is going to turn back into Australia. No dooming, black pilling or acting defeatist.

If we win, we win. If we loose, we die on our feet facing forward. Its pretty simple. Read Timbo from earlier this week!

Of course, executing on that statement …

200 years together…

If all the literature in the world were to vanish, except Russian literature, it would be enough for all of us.

We hope you enjoy the Weekend Links, and of course its a combination or satire, meme reviews, and assorted nonsense. Don’t take the banter too seriously, and caveat emptor as with all things.

Seems to be online & working.

I’ll see if there is any IT issue causing this…. the only thing I can think of is that perhaps the site is running out of some hosting quotas/limits due to growing popularity….

I can see it now. Feel that it’s going to get lost under Timbo’s post, should try and pin it to the top at least for the weekend if possible.

Gouda

Can I also add that 200 comments on Saturday alone is also very impressive. Granted, probably a good chunk are akin to monkeys flinging their own shit but it’s a good number nonetheless 🙂

Sacha

Well done again T!

Last week I saw the EC’s:

as you mentioned above.
Here is the original European Commission paper: Link
These people are beyond contempt. The EC is unelected and Europeans are paying for this tripe through their taxes, WTF!

Anyway, I had a nice weekend away from the screens, but will check your links during the next few days.

As I posted elsewhere (gunna style better repost it in 4 different threads because self validation) boosters are now coming.

I actually think the hypothesis that the first couple of hand to destroy your immune system and then make you dependent to take the rest in the style of AIDS, may warrant some further investigation.

The Age posting this at 4pm on a Friday is somewhat concerning. Are they essentially trying to reveal the method?

I assume by default that the Chinese team is cheating, happy to be proven wrong but I don’t doubt for one second that they are not drugged up to the max.

Ramjet

Yet they won’t be kicked out. The whole Sun Yang affair shows that China, FINA and the IOC are corrupt to the core for competitive sport and yet nothing will really happen. Mack Horton took the right moral stand, but all it got him was death threats and the greedy and backboneless Caulfield Grammar refusing to name their pool after him.

Ramjet

Given Sun Yang and ‘90s female swim team, one could infer the doping is state backed. But who would kick the Chinese out like the Russians.
Probably the best thing would be to allow the IOC to fade away into irrelevance.

Nah, they have been spruiking gas lately. A few people have tried to point out that you can’t have cheap gas and emissions reduction, but that is something that seems pretty hard for DLS to comprehend. I mean he still believes you can have lower interest rates and lower house prices.

bjw678

Well, you can have lower prices and interest rates if you set it up correctly, but if the main point of the lower rates is higher prices you really aren’t going to do that are you.

Ramjet

Tesla has good marketing, but seems their products don’t live up to expectations:

There’s no profit in getting people to lower their consumption of anything.

They like to interview those unvaccinated COVID patients in hospital asking them whether they regret not getting vaccinated the articles almost gleefully mocking them, I wonder if they will make a big thing interviewing the armless/legless Nigerian woman asking whether she regrets getting the vaccine?

Insane. Burn to death or roll the dice with your health.

The90kwbeast

All right, let’s play some bingo.

How many cases to be announced for NSW tomorrow? I’m going with 177.

Next, how many protesters will turn out again tomorrow? The politically acceptable number will be 3,500 again I’m sure.

stagmal

imo they wont be out, too many warnings will have spooked them off

The90kwbeast

That’s possible too. Maybe they’ll lick their wounds and be back for the inevitable 2+ week extension announced end of August when people will have had enough.

I reckon Sydney can tolerate another 4 weeks max, it’s not like Melbourne where the winter weather is crap anyway, people will want to go out and do stuff.

stagmal

are melb winters really that bad? ive been comparing them to dubbo and dubbo winters are actually worse, and dubbo winters arent that bad (though theyre still pretty shit)

The90kwbeast

I’ve only lived in the Northern Rivers, SEQ and Sydney, so they’re definitely bad by comparison 😉

But lower daily highs, intermittent rain which the other capitals don’t generally get and some sporadic chilly lows make it worse than most of the other bigger cities bar Canberra and Hobart.

It’s the PMS weather pattern that makes the weather hormonal in Melbourne

Agent 47

Not really just a population full of softcocks.

I mean, the wind and rain can be annoying but it’s not really that cold.

Agent 47

There wasn’t any sanctioned protest planned for tomorrow. Most of this is the media and Police trying to incite people so they can lock them up.

Ramjet

Don’t know. If Melbourne last year is anything to go by, they will still come in reduced numbers.

Agent 47

Fair call. To be honest, constant disruptive protesting is the only thing left now.

Sustained pressure and all that. Ironic that adopting extinction rebellion crazies tactics seem legit now.

Ramjet

I am going for 158 cases and 700 at the protest with 43 arrests. I also predicting 23000 calls to dob in a protester with a dozen sacked from their job for attending.

stagmal

need more, 700 isnt enough. they need the same turn out as last time or even more if they want a chance of the cops backing off and not messing with them lest sydney be turned into a smouldering crater.

problem with even these types of protests is they’re performative, they achieve nothing. you need the kind of civil disobenience the french carry out and just go all out, every day of the week protesting, shutting down roads, causing unending chaos for weeks and weeks. one day does not cut it.

canuckdownunder

With the protest they will publish some bogus high number to scare people, let’s say 243.

Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if they manufacture another fake young Covid death this weekend like they did to coincide with last week’s protest.

Agent 47

There was no protest planned and if social media is anything to go by that is the correct outcome for now.

NSW Police essentially banning people from entering the CBD and shutting down the transport network is nuts. I believe there is genuine fear among the ruling class now.

even if Police bring 1000, if 100,00 turn up that’s nothing. It would be unprecedented for EZFKA bit given the way 2021 is going it’s be worth a pint or two if more people have nothing left to lose.

Guarantee ten times that turn up if house prices ever dipped.

The lesson learned from European protests over the last few years (inc Russia) is that if you have 100,000 protesters – it is smarter not to just have 100,000 marching through the streets together in one lot

better to break it up into 5 lots of 20,000 in 5 different places. Then the police are fucked as they can’t concentrate their resources to pen in just one herd.

This works for any number above a certain critical mass.

The below is sensible an balanced video about continued lockdowns and future variants from a US perspective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDSp_4i22zc

The90kwbeast

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-30/national-cabinet-update-covid19-support-vaccine-targets/100338334

So the big news is 80% vaccinated to avoid super dooper metro lockdowns.

The article could also have read another 6 months of Sydney lockdown… that’s at least how long it will take. For fucks sake.

For all of my clashing with bjw/coming here – now this really shits me. Why was 80% chosen, where is the report that led to that conclusion, anything? If 50% is good enough for the UK and the US why do we need 80%?

Scomo just threw Gladys to the wolves with this.

Coming

https://grattan.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Race-to-80-our-best-shot-at-living-with-COVID-Grattan-Report.pdf

its derived from Grattan institute “modelling”

the health system will otherwise be overwhelmed allegedly

meanwhile UK is not locking down even with more cases per capita, and a similar CFR/hospitalisation rate because of “vaccines”

the vaccines are having minimal absolute effect – CFR of the NSW and UK are similar

Agent 47

Ah John ponzi Grattan. Spreads his arse cheeks for whatever donations he can get and then tailors the outcome to what the donors want.

Ditto Lowy and the rest.

Agent 47

They’re taking their orders from elsewhere. Hazard and Elliott are just fucking clown world.

80% is never achievable. I agree that the vax stats are inflated and realistically they will be lucky to get more than 40%. Normies can now see that it’s not about a virus and lockdowns are being used as a club to get the jab.

The longer it drags on the more Trigaboff and the migration addicts squeal so it’s the only upside.

Coming

they’ve made opening the borders a “carrot”

I think it will backfire

most people don’t have any desire to travel, or the means to do so . And also they really don’t want any more fucking foreigners in the country

the best way to prevent it is to not get vaccinated – scomo has now made that explicitly clear

Peachy

scomo has now made that explicitly clear

did he really link borders with vax rates?
(I didn’t watch/read what he said)

…he might have signed his own death warrant then, the pompous tool….

Ramjet

80% will be unachievable anyway. Have you seen the adult vaccination rates for other diseases? You are supposed to have boosters, but how many people here have had one in the last decade?

The90kwbeast

Yes he did

It’s become very overt now

Ramjet

No, opening the borders is a deflection. They won’t be opened prior to the election in any meaningful way. They will magically open post election and they will say 80% had the opportunity to get vaccinated and we won’t want to be left behind. It also won’t matter who wins the election both sides want international students but for the rest of the makeup will align with their ideology.

bjw678

Well firstly, there hasn’t been enough data to produce definitive evidence.
secondly, even if we had perfect data and evidence there is no perfect solution,
because thirdly, any solution involves trade offs in many different areas for many different people, and ultimately what one person prioritises over another.

Why do we need 80%? To kick the can as far as possible. Expect re-evaluation when we reach or near 80% to push that out further again.
the video above discusses this partially, while this video discusses the US extending the rental eviction moratorium right now to can kick the problems removing it will cause.

You asked me what the gov would want to delay for. So it all goes pear shaped on someone else’s watch.

Last edited 3 years ago by bjw678

And really I was wondering why they don’t just aim for 95% in the over 50s and vulnerable

it’s much more achievable

would have the same effect ultimately with regards to hospitalisation and death

and less likely to get peoples backs up because young people know that it’s not beneficial or necessary for them

See my response and link above re 80% and 82%.

It is a sheer subliminal play

This is very interesting!

bjw678

Oh, and why we need much more than the US/uk/everywhere else?
Because our initial lockdowns where far more effective than everywhere else and have set the expectations the gov will be judged against.

Peachy

I have upped my expectations thay this whole thing will prove to be an “enough rope” situations for the EZFKA machine from 0.1% to 1.2%

The90kwbeast

As long as house prices continue to boom she’ll be right mate

Lockdowns plus decreasing house prices? Adjust that to 50%.

Peachy

Yeh, I was thinking along those lines too… but then I got caught up sorts of circular/contradictory thoughts:

  1. maybe instead of borders he should’ve linked vaccination to house prices (or low interest rates) – that would be a better motivation for sure. But, I have previously said that if the gov comes out with a policy explicitly supporting house prices, that would likely be the bell ringing at the top and I still think that is likely true.
  2. if house prices are actually falling (out of control), arguably the EZFKA machine is busted anyway. That is, arguably the falling prices can’t be the cause of EZFKA machine failure, if they are the effect….?
bjw678
  1. At least linking to borders is defensible, hard to justify a link to anything else(not that that stops them trying)
  2. This is like arguing if the machine exploding is cause or effect. at that point it doesn’t really matter.
Peachy
  1. yes I agree. That is partly why I think a naked house price play would be a bell. It would signal that all other options are unviable and they must try on the indefensible.
  2. on this one I think that there is a little nuance…. Without getting into Aristotle’s 4 causes or Hume’s take on causation I think it’s fair to say that it’s one thing for EZFKA to blow up because prices fall. And another for EZFKA to blow up on some other matter (say Medicare) and then not in a position to support house prices.

Why was 80% chosen…

80% and 82% are the most effective gullibility inducing mumbers.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=82%25&t=braveed&ia=web

Last edited 3 years ago by Names are changed to protect innocents
ThePensum

80% is actually quite easy to explain.
The usual process of Au bureaucracy is to look what is happening overseas (particularly like countries, Canada, UK (especially) etc), use that as a benchmark and copy it.
So 70% I’ve read is the “heralded” rate. Most countries don’t make it there. So I suspect the bureaucracy said “ok – we are especially risk averse here so lets bump it up to 80%”.

Stewie

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

“Relax, ” said the night man,

“We are programmed to receive.

You can check-out any time you like,

But you can never leave! “

Well I hope that after all my warnings and expressions of deepest concern that there would be no EZFKA members who have any crypto remaining on Binance:

“Leading crypto exchange Binance has announced a new withdrawal limit for users that completed the Basic level of their account verification process. The measure is to take effect immediately… The limit has gone from 2 Bitcoin (BTC) to 0.06 BTC.”

https://bitcoinist.com/binance-announces-reduction-in-withdrawal-limit-for-non-kyc-accounts-from-2-to-0-06-btc/

For those interested that means overnight and with immediate effect Binance changed the withdrawal limits of accounts that had not done full KYC from around $100,000 AUD to $7,000.

Frankly this hasn’t really changed anything as it has as been rumored to be impossible to even get small change amounts out of Binance without weeks long delays.

Basically once liquidity gates are installed it is pretty much the last play of the dice.

No idea – people getting out of Tether?

I said a couple days ago to Peachy that I thought it just looked like a technical bounce. Basically just bounced from the 50 back to the 38 fib… I would be surprised if it got above 45k. There are no real inflows at the moment in terms of stable coin printing.

Damn im just about to get into the crypto world and am now second guessing. Unsure whether to dive in or not.

Peachy

If you’re in EZFKA you can use IndependentReserve or BTCMarkets and you’ll be fine from a provider legitimacy perspective. These guys are exceedingly unlikely to screw you.

as to what crypto assets you buy (if any) that’s up to you… There are lots of good posts on EZFKA on crypto (and awesome comments under the posts), but in summary, nobody knows if it will moon or will go to 0 a year from now.

bjw678

Or as they say in the legitimate investments world, past performance is not a guarantee of future gains.

Further to peachy’s advice. Anything that you can’t directly deposit into and withdraw from and to an australian bank is going to be far more risky than something you can.
I’ve used btcmarkets.net and haven’t had a problem since my first transaction in 2017.

Stewie

Yeah – I eventually got my bank details sorted with my offshore exchange, but I’ve opened up a back up account with BTCmarkets with ease and performed some withdrawals to ensure I’ve now got at least enough money to pay my tax. Some of the liquidity is very thin on some more exotic markets, but it is sound enough on the majors.

Peachy

Well I hope that after all my warnings and expressions of deepest concern that there would be no EZFKA members who have any crypto remaining on Binance

huzzah! Well done Stewie.

0.06BTC is bloody nothing. Seems like they’re going to lose their launderer clientele.

If you’re right, this is an act of desperation to

  • seize some crypto from the dodgy accounts
  • clamp down on withdrawals more generally

or maybe they are now going mainstream and want to be accepted in first world markets.

Stewie

Yeah – liquidity gates getting shut are a BAD sign. First fiat access disappears, then crypto gets locked in.

“…or maybe they are now going mainstream and want to be accepted in first world markets.”

That ship has long since sailed.

bjw678

That ship has long since sailed.

That is far more politely than I would have put it.

Stewie

While on the subject of Crypto, I came across this interesting read during the week.

“Why would anyone try to deliberately derail BitCoin and limit its potential?”

https://coingeek.com/the-mastercard-bitcoin-conspiracy/

Much along the lines of what I have previously written about.

bjw678

From your linked article

With hegemonic control in 2015, Mastercard was able to shift the narrative of Bitcoin from being a “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” and force its user experience into being unpleasant and occasionally unusable in order to create business opportunities for their other portfolio brands to profit from specialized services to BTC like Lightning Network.

The only problem with this is back in 2013 or whenever I first stumbled across bitcoin the user experience was exactly the same and the problems where obvious and inherent and unavoidable as transaction rates increased.

Stewie

The BTC user in 2013 was of a embryotic network that was always meant to scale, lightening as a hub and spoke network simply can’t.

I’ve used BTC since 2013 as well, and imho there has been little advance in the average BTC user’s experience since around 2015, in respect of native BTC experience/use. There was a significant and noticeable step up in early wallets and apps in those early years, then nothing.

Where there have been ‘improvements’ it is through services provided to BTC from other chains… which is Blockstream’s business model.

Stewie

In the spirit of meme making I’ve decided to post a few more

https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1406583843109277707

stagmal

hey to anyone who would know

why do people keep complaining about the “vaccine rollout” when we already have so many vaccines anyway, clearly its not the rollout its the TAKEUP RATE, no one wants this shit

and two, is AZ really so much worse than pfizeR?? ive heard plenty of people say pfizers garbage too

Coming

https://au.news.yahoo.com/shock-finding-covid-vaccine-study-pfizer-astrazeneca-004137574.html

apparently they have the same level of risk

so this whole AZ thing has been a media beat up and Pfizer marketing scheme
bizarrely also supported by our politicians

absolute clown shit

I think of the two I would prefer the AZ because virus vector is a bit better understood and studied (and “natural”) than mRNA

The90kwbeast

Interesting article. Thanks. That was my humble view also, at least AZ has come from an understood development process rather than something brand new.

bjw678

Brand new is not really true.
20 years old but has never passed the approval process when it has been presented is more accurate from my limited research.
I may be wrong but it is highly unlikely they developed a truly new tech from nothing to widespread use in 12 months

The90kwbeast

Semantics, it’s the first approved application of it, thus it’s brand new. The fact though it’s been around for 20 years makes it even worse it was now deemed ok and rushed out.

bjw678

It still hasn’t been deemed OK by the standards of any other diseases vax ever.

And even worse was exactly my point.

Agent 47

IMO, on the first point it’s really just constant spin to deflect from the massive vaccine refusal. It’s always a supply shortage or some other reason, not the fact that more and more people are starting to see the whole thing is a charade. They don’t want to explicitly admit it though.

On the second point, Pfizer is way more dangerous but there just seems to be more of a media campaign against the AZ one. I think it’s a classic marketing campaign FOMO. TGA stats are there but they don’t break down by vaccine.

Also the class bullshit about Pfizer v AZ is fucking hilarious. Like AZ is for plebs and Pfizer for the bourgeous.None of you actually know what you are putting on your arm, you’re just more comfortable with the Pfizer brand than AZ. It’s all about comfort and perception in my opinion.

Top post, Agent47

The90kwbeast

Agreed

Ramjet

AZ is not really much more risky than Pfizer. Additionally, AZ’s effectiveness is similar to Pfizer where it matters most in reducing hospitalisations and death. This is across the original virus leaked from a lab and the variants. You are 100% right it is the takeup rate and that the boomers are too posh for AZ. The young are enduring lockdowns to protect the asset owners boomers and they turn around and say we don’t like what you are giving us.

Agent 47

Point about boomers is spot in.

The whole thing is risk outsourcing in the EZFKA spirit.

Ramjet

The adverse reaction is after the first shot of AZ or second shot of Pfizer. Anecdotally, the people I know didn’t really have much reaction to their first AZ jab, but the ones that I know who got the second Pfizer actually felt crap and some took time off work. Not a statistically valid sample and more an observation.

Peachy

I’m a few minutes in – so far, so interesting.

Aura

What are your views?

Peachy

Hey Aura

i finally finished watching that piece to the end. Bloke seems sensible overall with his messages, which are similar to what’s been discussed in the comments here over recent months:

  • the shots are untested
  • so risk-reward is shithouse for young healthy people with reasonable immunity
  • risk-reward is different for vulnerable people
  • vaccine “passports” are the fucking devil

what i learned was:

  • the “variants” are <1% different to the standard virus.
  • human immune system is enough to cope with at least 20% variation from standard virus (based on the SARS) example

there are bits where he seems to go towards the ‘potential nutbag’ end of the spectrum:

  • references to Nuremberg and medical experiments
  • belief that the jabs are part of a mass depopulation (murder) plan

…although on that last bit, I have admittedly speculated in that direction myself

Has anyone watched this?

bjw678

After watching the first few minutes I’m assuming he’s going to say we shouldn’t be using all these vaccines that haven’t been through the approval process.
And my response is No shit Sherlock.

It is also seeming like it’s going to be very boring so unless there is some other message in there I don’t think I’ll bother with the rest.

He talks about why these specific vaccines won’t work, something about t cells vs antibodies. Towards the end of the video he talks about how governments are using covid and vaccines as a means to take away our freedoms essentially.

Pasting my interpretation from embee

Of the infections, 74% occurred in fully vaccinated people who had one of the three FDA-emergency approved vaccines and 80% had symptoms

Results showed that vaccinated people who get COVID-19 have same viral levels as the unvaccinated

5 people were hospitalised – 4 of those were vaccinated (75%)

So in other words the vaccine made literally no difference to outcomes 

-no difference to hospitalisation
-no difference to infectivity/transmissibility 

And yet somehow vaccination is our sole criteria for lockdowns and individual freedoms/“passports”

A good review in Quillette on Charles Murray’s latest book “Facing Reality: Two truths about race in America:

https://twitter.com/Quillette/status/1421198913365700608

Good why? It was a bit wordy and the reviewer had a tendency to go off on his on polemics a bit, but Good in that it is one of the few reviews of the book that you will actually read.

Basically in order to explain the continued socio-economic gap between population groups, particularly African Americans versus ALL other groups, the two Truths are: America is fundamentally racist or there are population group differences.

In the freest most egalitarian societies ever to have existed, one theory explains the residual differences on microscopic, levels of systemic racisim that are undetectable to all but “trained” professionals, the other is that there are simply natural differences.

The difference is one theory offers a way forward without the need to denigrate our society and culture as being immoral and in need of change.

The90kwbeast

Yes it is the Occam’s razor approach to assume group differences for sure.

Coming

The first explanation is always laughable to me purely because we live in a ruthlessly capitalistic society

what is the profit motive to arbitrarily treat blacks worse than whites ?

of course, there isn’t one

similarly, the gender wage gap is laughable because if it was real capitalists would exploit it by hiring only women

Thanassis Veggos

It should take less than a minute of contemplating the size of middle management and HR in modern organisations to realise how dumb the statement “we live in a ruthlessly capitalistic society” is.

Peachy

Having an “obfuscation” or “responsibility diffusion” layer (or layers) is actually standard practice in evolved capitalist institutions and in the EZFKA in particular.

This allows plausible deniability or blame shifting in almost all situations. And when done right, the diffusion layers are closed in on each other, so that the responsibility disappears altogether.

a good recent example of that was in Victoria where they established that nobody made the decision to hire private security guards. (😂😂😂) that is masterful.

In organisations, HR/middle management is usually part of that function. maintaining them is like the cost of insurance….

Eagle

Ah, the creeping assumption

Peachy

Yes, they’ve now given it a convenient name!

bjw678

Take more than a minute to think about it and it becomes logical again.
Decision makers in a large organisation are not owners and receive no direct impact from profit or loss. Even people receiving share options have no long term stake in profitability merely current share price and manipulate all sorts of things to boost short term share prices.
Managing more people looks really good on your resume to allow you to get a better job to make more money so the capitalistic incentives of a wage earner is to make decisions that improve your future employment prospects, not the profitability of your company.
The higher up in management you go the more weight the number of people you manage has than any useful skill, so senior managers have incentive to inflate middle management numbers.

At the point the company is i danger of going broke you see the same capitalistic self interest incentives kick in and the excess middle management is usually the first to get culled to preserve the people above’s jobs.

adjective

believing in or based on the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.

The US is not egalitarian. Your opportunities are entirely dependant on the wealth of your parents.
if all your ancestors were slaves at one point, that is starting from a big disadvantage.
The only way you have equal opportunities is with publicly funded services for almost everything including education and health.

Stewie

“In the freest most egalitarian societies ever to have existed”

…ever to have existed.

Sure they’re not perfect, but apart from a few hunter gatherer societies and virtually every other society to have ever existed throughout history, they are close enough.

No disagreement on equal access to things like education, housing and health. But even in MORE egalitarian societies, like those found in Scandinavia, these differences remain and persist across generations.

bjw678

What is the sample size for people with dark HAIR in scandinavia, let alone dark skin.

And the entire anglosphere is more egalitarian than the US.
They talk a big game about equality but it is bullshit by any measure.

Stewie

“What is the sample size for people with dark HAIR in scandinavia, let alone dark skin.”

Go look it up yourself – it has been well studied it may even have been covered by Murray in his book It is a well observed phenomena. Although google is making it far harder and harder to find anything that even admits that there are population group differences like IQ nowadays, despite it being broadly scientifically accepted (vs unaccepted in regards to cause).

Differences exist and persist across EVERY society where sub-saharan Africans reside as an expat population. Denying that population group differences exist, condemns our society and ourselves as racist.

In short, there’s been a series of court cases against Pornhub and the parent company Mind Geek for all kinds of nastiness that gets uploaded onto the platform, of the trafficking and underage variety.

That’s led to blocks in some companies and trafficking operations shutting a lot of it down. Mind Geek is owned by a shady Israeli hiding out in London who has only just been identified.

A bunch of studios are also being prosecuted for all kinds of stuff. The lawsuit against GirlsDoPorn is a really interesting read. Basically a couple of dodgy kiwis in the us set up one of the biggest sites and allegedly conned most of their actresses. One guy got 20 years jail. Owner is on FBI top ten list as a fugitive.

thanks for the link, it’s useful as a primer on what the matter is.

that said – OH MY GOD – Moira somehow manages to bring in a stupid “left vs right” thing into it and displays a complete ignorance of how internet works. Seems that she reckons that by shutting down pornhub the issue of bad videos or pirated content will go away…like closing down Napster and blocking piratebay in EZFKA has solved content downloading – good god!

Gouda

I think closing those sites did work, in that there are quite a few people I know believe you can no longer use torrents/magnets etc after there was some announcement a few years ago and ISPs started sending out warning emails.

This was happening in my father’s generation too – they’re old a bunch of oldies who swap movies/music etc and a few of the big leechers in his group also chickened out some years back. It apparently quieted down for a bit, but later some of them learnt how to rip Blu Rays so they went back to physical HDD swapping which would go completely under the radar.

bjw678

In my opinion the biggest difference was legal streaming became available at a reasonable price.
The threats wee going on for years and napster got shutdown to be replaced by a few others but only really went away when spotify and similar appeared.

A fly in your ointment

Indeed.

Gouda

Good point – I tend to forget about streaming services as they’re never something I’ve really been interested in.

Years ago I can remember paying for an expensive prep course for my work, and being annoyed that they’d not let us download and save the video content which I wanted to convert to audio files to listen on long country drives. In the end I worked out how to do it, and was discussing it with a friend who said he’d wouldn’t know where to start, and only saw himself as a consumer. Eg. if he liked a song, he’d pay 99c to get it on iTunes, whereas I’d be more inclined to try and get it for free – either through the usual channels or even the library/CD rip.

For me the fun is getting the content, not actually having it on demand and watching it. I think it has to do with never having a regular consumer mindset and the “thrill of the chase” so to speak. Fortunately for the big media companies we’re not in the minority.

As I’ve been arguing for some time:

Vaccination alone won’t stop the rise of new variants and in fact could push the evolution of strains that evade their protection, researchers warned Friday.

“When most people are vaccinated, the vaccine-resistant strain has an advantage over the original strain,” Simon Rella of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, who worked on the study, told reporters.

“This means the vaccine resistant strain spreads through the population faster at a time when most people are vaccinated.”

How did we fix the 1918 flu?

A fly in your ointment

No clue.

Wikipedia says this:

Maritime quarantines were declared on islands such as Iceland, Australia, and American Samoa, saving many lives.[139] Social distancing measures were introduced, for example closing schools, theatres, and places of worship, limiting public transportation, and banning mass gatherings.[140] Wearing face masks became common in some places, such as Japan, though there were debates over their efficacy.[140] There was also some resistance to their use, as exemplified by the Anti-Mask League of San Francisco. Vaccines were also developed, but as these were based on bacteria and not the actual virus, they could only help with secondary infections.[140] The actual enforcement of various restrictions varied.[141] To a large extent, the New York City health commissioner ordered businesses to open and close on staggered shifts to avoid overcrowding on the subways.[142]

A later study found that measures such as banning mass gatherings and requiring the wearing of face masks could cut the death rate up to 50 percent, but this was dependent on their being imposed early in the outbreak and not being lifted prematurely.[143]

Overall we didn’t, it just happened and then people got on with their lives and lived with it. The spanish flu is still around today.

No matter what we think we can do to fix this that is still the most likely end point and an almost certainty now.

A fly in your ointment

I am not sure Kansas flu is comparable to Covid 19. From little I read on it, it was in times before antibiotics were in mass use and most deaths came from secondary complications from bacterial infection which always follows viral one.
It is hypothetically possible that Kansas flu would’ve been not noticeable and global if antibiotics were widely available at the time.

But I don’t hold a strong opinion on this topic and don’t have enough info to make one.

My opinion at this moment is that corronavirus will naturally mutate into more contagious but less deadly variant as time goes by, until it became manageable by our immune system.

The90kwbeast

Shouldn’t it become less lethal over time though? Delta may or may not be the high watermark for Covid as a cross section of transmissibility versus lethality.

Coming

Because vaccination is messing with evolution

ie altering evolutionary pressures

bjw678

evolutionary pressures aren’t as clear cut as is often claimed.
If covid in australia become 1000x more infectious and 10000x more lethal it will wipe itself out from an evolutionary perspective and allow the less lethal versions to thrive, but it will take all australians with it.

LOL, the unpronunciability is a feature in only one language in the world.
My surname was clearly pronounced instantly by every black South African and mostly by Afrikaaners. Blacks would read it properly without having me pronounce it for them not even once. OTOH, those that spoke only one lingo struggled even after knowing me for ages.

That’s not narcissistic, to ask someone for that little respect for their name to be pronounced as it supposed to sound. It is basic.

Stewie

Phonetically some languages vary considerably to others – this woman’s name was a literal alphabet. SBS and various other cunning linguists make a big thing about pronouncing names, but really it is just another elitist filter used as a sign of their sophistication over the plebs.

IMHO part of integrating and assimilating into a new culture or society is taking on the cultural norms of the people you are moving too.

Anglicizing names or shortening them to a manageable mouthful, is something that many other generations of immigrants have done, and something that I respect about East Asians who move to here and contrast their choices in comparison to other groups.

It’s nowhere near as basic as you think.
Not all languages contain the same phonemes and if you don’t learn how to make them as a child you will be unlikely to pronounce them correctly without huge effort.

If fried rice is one’s name, perhaps.
Minimal respect effort towards any person is to at least genuinely attempt to try to pronounce their name as intended. Hear it then try to replicate voices.

This issue is present mostly in monolingual anglophone countries. Mostly, because where some effort is invested results were positive.

bjw678

If ones name contains an r sound. That is just the most “stereotyped” example for obvious reasons.
For instance, is blett offensive? blenda, blandon, fledelick?
I use these specifically because I’m not a phoneme expert and it’s the obvious one I understand. I’m sure there are plenty of phonems that english speakers don’t use but since I didn;t learn them, I don’t recognize them.

his issue is present mostly in monolingual anglophone countries. Mostly, because where some effort is invested results were positive.

Mostly because multiple languages exposes you to a greater percentage of all phonemes. I’d imagine its monolingual all languages, hence the asian example I used.

OK, I will be direct.
My experience and observation of 30+yrs of what I consider a very prolific intercontinental travel, only anglophone speakers whom knew only English lingo put little or no effort into repeating phonemes as heard seconds before. And I am notalking about perfect repetition of the phonemes.

Stewie

I travelled all through South America, had an extensive vocabulary, couldn’t pronounce a fucking word that could be understood. My wife, perfect pitch, repeat what I said back to them intonation perfect. No idea what she just said, but said what I said correctly. Locals talk to her not me.

I think the ability to pick up the lingo is more dependent on the individual than the collective, my wife it of as Anglo Saxon Australian decent as myself. I think a fair few people who speak another language have just as much difficulty speaking a second language and getting the intonation and phonetics as correct, as myself, while some are just as good as my wife. Usually the those most capable of speaking correctly do so, while those who are just gunna stuff it up, like me, remain silent. Which can lead to some perspective bias based on who is more likely to interact with you.

I will agree that knowing English makes english speakers relatively lazy, in terms of seeking to learn another language given english is currently the global lingua franca. I’d also agree that some of the lack of ability to correctly enunciate foreign names is probably due to this lack of exposure to a second language.

However, that all said, I remain of the opinion that it is a form of ethno-narcassism to move to a country and not seek to show acceptance or attempts to assimilate and intergrate into the local culture and identity, by adapting your name. I did it in Spanish speaking countries, whether they appreciated it or not, it made it easier to check in and register my details…. because weirdly despite dealing with foreign sounding names all day, the hostels still had trouble with my name.

It’s a two way thing.
Having trouble is normal, I focused at many ( in my experience) not showing effort which produces different results.

Was most of that in europe, where exposure to a country speaking another language is a 20 minute drive away? Maybe south america were it is similar?
How much was in asia?
Australia and most of north america aren’t exactly likely to expose you to foreign languages very often.

Why do you care what I think anyway.

Alternately, watch this and try to pronounce some of the sounds not used in any languages at all.

Stewie

That was a really cool video – it also lead me down the garden path on the ‘Great Vowel Shift‘ that occurred in English from 1400-1700.

A fly in your ointment

I don’t care what anyone thinks and I expect the same in return. I like, though, that intellectual discourse takes place even is no one agrees with anyone.
This because one can learn a lot from others perspectives.

Place was unimportant, my experience was/is that English-only speaking people are the least likely to be attempting to repeat a new voice or a phoneme. Anecdata, by all means, however the experience is near uniform which should bear some weight. This particularly because experience with others was almost diametrically opposite and dramatic.

I learned my lesson several decades ago when an attempt to repeat my surname went so wild and into unexpected words in English that sounded not even close to the surname – I gave up. I now ask people how they want to call me and I just assume that name. Mick Skippy, Chuck Morris, Bruce Leigh… I even used the name Peter Button once. Next time I’ll try for Stewie Griffin 😉.

Repeatedly threatening violence is probably indicative of some kind of underlying pathology, either anger management issues, an impulse control disorder or antisocial personality disorder. I note W@F is quite proud of the fact that he has served time, so probably leaning towards the latter.

He keeps getting sacked for telling truth to manegement in defence of the workers, according to sprays he put on MB. Given how hard it is to sack someone, I’d say he’s probably as violent IRL as he appears to be here. Threaten to punch the boss and off you go to Centrlink again.

Personally, I just don’t feed the troll. He’s clearly wanking to the responses.

I guess it doesn’t matter when you have contracts saying the government has to buy it whether it works or not,.

Have you seen this video, regarding covid vaccines? I’m not antivax, but just being cautious about the actual harm of the vaccine and the covid passport thing, this would really take away our freedoms.

Not getting too worked up by the whole Pfizer jab losing effectiveness thing.The overall effectiveness drop reported is 84% from 96%, and the sample size is tiny.

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/955601

Ramjet

Very few people particularly the media understand statistics. With a tiny sample size, it is statistically possible that the drop in effectiveness is smaller or larger.
Given that Pfizer has probably employed the smartest biostatisticians and it sees a commercial opportunity, it will push for booster shots ASAP. The media will go along with it and same with the public as practically no one understands statistics and the ones that understand statistical results are on Pfizer’s payroll.

Gouda

Usually the drug trials will recruit large numbers of participants to which increases the chances of finding a change. There are also issues with payment as an incentive, especially in the US so figures can sometimes be skewed by participants who ought not to be there.

Stats are quite easy to manipulate, and have had enough interactions with drug reps to know how. A common one is the use of absolute vs relative risk percentages – eg. an event has 0.002% chance of occurring but the drug halves this, so a “50% reduction” sounds more impressive than 0.001.

Unfortunately I graduated too late to enjoy the previous gravy train of lobster dinners and overseas trips granted to doctors. After the legislation was changed which limited it to a cup of coffee, they just ended up directing that ad spent towards government officials and the TGA themselves. Wouldn’t be surprised if a few social media influencers were getting sweet payouts to promote medications too as it’s fairly common in the cosmetic sphere.

bjw678

Alongside vaccines, success against #COVID19 will likely require #antiviral treatments for those who contract the virus. We’ve started a Phase 2/3 trial to evaluate a potential oral therapy that will enroll over 2,000 participants infected with SARS-CoV-2: https://on.pfizer.com/376FGpI

Pfizer does not share your optimism

Keyword being “alongside”, so I take that this is a trial of a proposed treatment if you’ve got Covid regardless of vaccination status.
The natural assumption is that the vaccine prevents infection, but if that’s not the case then I guess it’s all just a waste of time.

David Cole, aka David Stein. He made this video documentary as a teenage. As a Jew he was able to ask questions of fellow Jews running the Auschwitz museum who answered his questions very frankly on camera, that most died of typhoid and that the total tally was closer to the official Red Crosses records.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2llsuq

For his efforts he received death threats and had to change his name and go into hiding for many, many years until he eventually recanted some of his claims.

What weekend reading would be complete without some Steve Sailer to compliment David Cole. Here Steve ponders the question “Do whites have civil rights?

“The increasingly popular belief that whites alive today deserve to be punished for the sins of dead whites in centuries past must be denounced forthrightly as a violation of basic principles of the Constitution such as the ban on bills of attainder. Taxpayer-funded programs to demonize and demoralize innocent white children as vengeance for the sins of long-gone co-ethnics is not only unconstitutional but wicked.”

Essentially so much of the civil rights principals and legislation, like Affirmative action are fundamentally racist. Indeed the Supreme court only temporarily allowed things like Affirmative action, which violate the 14th Amendment, by describing the policies as ‘goals’ rather than quotas and suggesting that there should be a time limit to which they are applied.

Basically Steve is arguing that there has now been sufficient time to address achieve the goals of affirmative action style policies, and that if America is supposedly now a diverse and multicultural country, then these policies that favour blacks over whites need to end, because they are both unfair and discriminatory.

Prescribing Ivermectin basically given the all clear. There’s a bit on Mark Hobart, a doctor who was reported for prescribing Ivermectin.

https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/07/hunt-goes-off-script-with-ivermectin/

“Indeed, federal Health Minister Greg Hunt wrote to one of the doctors in Australia who prescribes ivermectin confirming that he was aware that some physicians are prescribing ivermectin off-label for Covid and that they were quite within their rights as the practice of prescribing registered medicines outside of their approved indications is not regulated or controlled by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), it is at the discretion of the prescribing physician.”

There are Docs in Straya who can help with Ivermectin. Vaxed/ unvaxed might all need something that does work when things go bad. ( treatment- not prophylactic)

I posted this also at embee

It is absolutely staggering that the NSW health still has not provided clarity on this

Fairly suspicious that she probably WAS vaccinated, and that the death could well be related to vaccination

https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/07/chronicle-of-a-covid-death-foretold/

Allegations emerged quickly that there was more to the story. Friends in the Brazilian community said that she had received her first jab just before she tested positive. Yet when a journalist told NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant that ‘Some people close to her are suggesting she had at least one dose of the vaccine,’ Chant replied that she’d have to check but she’d been advised that Adriana did not have any underlying health issues. It was an odd comment because Chant should be briefed on the vaccine status of every Covid victim since it is the first question that every journalist wants answered. Yet days later Chant has yet to confirm or deny Adriana’s vaccine status. It floats in the air like a spectral phantom.

canuckdownunder

This was clearly a vaccine related death from day one, all the information I have managed to collect points to that conclusion and these were mainstream souces! The MSM is either too stupid to connect the dots or complicit.

They needed a martyr to parade to the plebs the weekend of the protest and this was delivered.

Meanwhile cases continue to explode because our woke government refuses to enforce the lockdown rules on the jimmy grants, and the upper class white women cheer them on so they can feel safe.

At least there’s finally a silver lining behind our Biblical PM, could you imagine how fucked we would be with a Labour/Green coalition in charge of a vaccine rollout?

A fly in your ointment

Just today I heard anectdata of a 37yo mother of two that got a western pharma experimental jab and died few days later.
I will find out detail on Wednesday.
Anecdata for deaths from Sputnik or Sinopharm is yet to come, if it will.

FEMA and FCC doing test of emergency alert system. I’m sure just a coincidence given Melbourne and London had one a few weeks ago.

Peachy

What does this mean?

Agent 47

There are routine tests all the time. However, given the unusual amount of major cities globally doing similar (I read somewhere several EU cities are also doing same) I would suspect something big is imminent. I would suspect large scale cyber attack that derails finance or supply chain. That’s what WEF were simulating last month with Cyber Polygon.

Just a hunch but I think it’s more realistic than fantasy. Also considering COVID narrative crumbling they need a distraction.

bjw678

I’d put martial law more likely than a cyber attack that destroys finance or supply chains.
I assume you mean china is the threat actor, and they have no need to cyber attack to disrupt supply chains. They ARE the supply chains for most things.
They also own enough US dollars to destroy finance if they desire to.

How does China holding US dollars destroy finance ?

if anything they’ll destroy themselves and make US industry more competitive

They can spend them in ridiculous ways to crash things.
Destroying western finance systems with cyber attacks causes them similar problems with losses as just doing stupid things with what they hold.

Perth property:
Not sure how many people here are in WA, but I have a theory about why Perth prices aren’t rising like elsewhere and I’d like some feedback. I think it comes down to the amount of subdivision going on. So many back yards in so many suburbs are being turned into houses that the sticker prices aren’t moving much but you’re getting half the amount of land that you used to at those prices. Also there’s a lot of new suburbs being built – e.g. all along the northern coast up to Yanchep, at Ellenbrook, and south of Armidale around Byford. What’s really surprising is that in these new suburbs, you’re not seeing decent size blocks cheap. Many are under 500m^2. I don’t think you can easily get good info on average land size per dwelling sold as a time series, but if you can get the figures, maybe you can confirm.

Ramjet

Hmm, interesting theory. However, this sort of thing is happening everywhere though. New housing blocks are tiny on the outskirts of Melbourne as well. I guess it really depends on the supply and demand of these blocks. In Melbourne, they are held by land bankers (the EZFKA way) and dripped to the market, but not sure about Perth.
I understand rents are booming in Perth, but my theory on that is that FIFO from the East have rented in Perth due to the border rules, but that is my theory.

robert2013

I think you’re right about rents. Possible good point about Melbourne, but don’t now much about it. Perth has the smallest average block size for new builds: https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/australians-building-houses-smaller-blocks

Ramjet

Thanks for the link. Didn’t know the blocks were so small in Perth. All capitals are trending in the same direction, so I don’t think block sizes explain it. Could be due to the number of people with negative equity from the last boom.

Gouda

I guess that debunks the myth that Australian houses are larger hence justifying the increased price.

The90kwbeast

Is there somewhere containing data on average cost per sqm by capital city over time? That would be interesting

Ramjet

Yes, in the link that Robert replied to me with.

The90kwbeast

Sorry totally missed that. But that just has block sizes not cost.

So not only do we have massively huge house prices, we have declining block sizes to boot, shouldn’t be a surprise but now what we need to see is cost per sqm which would show a y axis heading into the stratosphere!

bjw678

The factor always forgotten when claiming land prices can’t keep increasing, it’s not sustainable.
You just sell people a smaller piece for the same amount.

Peachy

That’s right.

this is also a reason why housing in general doesn’t need to necessarily become more affordable.

just the housing purchased at each point on the price curve can yield less and less utility and convenience….

more units to the acre. More persons to the bedroom, etc, etc.

bjw678

The houses are larger, the blocks are smaller.
Go through a new development and yard is virtually non existent.

Gouda

Yup, easier to maintain is how they sell it.

Gotta keep the EZFKA machine well oiled and moving…

https://www.smh.com.au/national/15-000-rich-foreigners-given-visas-to-australia-during-the-pandemic-20210721-p58bky.html

Nearly 15,000 visas have been granted to foreign millionaires since the start of the pandemic under a scheme that has been criticised for allowing people to buy their way into Australia.

Peachy

Mr Sherrell said the income of people using the business stream was about $20,000 a year

ahahahha! So the investment is about $1m and yields about 2%.

That sounds like real high-risk/high reward innovation business!

Ramjet

“A lot of countries sell residency or citizenship. This is the way Australia does it” says the Grattan Institute. EZFKA has the think tanks that support the economic zone’s settings.

The irony is that this has been happening for years and yet the SMH wouldn’t even allow us to discuss it.

The police aren’t the source of the problem. The laws they are enforcing are.

Are they even enforcing laws at this point or just draconian emergency health orders?

People still think if I just do one more lockdown. If I just wear this mask. If I just do what they ask then these measures will end and we will go back to normal. But we won’t be going back to normal and these heavy handed tactics will only get worse from here…

They are effectively the same thing.

And you don’t need to convince me it’s a bad idea.
There’s more blame the politicians and chief of police for the laws and instructions given than the people enforcing them though.

ThePensum

dude, its both.

the police love this power trip and won’t exercise any judgement cbecause they love booking people and telling them what to do. the old videos of armed police confronting two old ladies sitting on a park bench, or a pregnant lady…

there is the law and the enforcing. the enforcing has been just as draconian as these new laws.

bjw678

And you think the enforcing hasn’t been directed from the top?
The police didn’t need new mask laws to be able to harass and arrest people.
It’s just making the news because the new laws are more widely unpopular and more people think it might affect them. When cops were harassing teenagers, or indigenous people or guys with hotted up cars no one gave a shit.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

   Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—

   Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

   Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

How far through that path do you think we are?

That is what enforcement of the law looks like. It’s too late to complain about the enforcement if you let the law pass first unchallenged.

Dictator David

Mandatory wearing a mask isn’t a law though, it’s a health directive that they just rolled out. Using heavy handed tactics when it’s not even a law is some CCP shit and it pisses me off. More people should be worried but it seems the average bum is happy to stay home and watch the olympics.

yup… don’t even need heavy handed tactics from the police when your fellow citizens will dob you in

Health directive is just a nice way of saying law though.
It just sounds nicer, which is the point.
If you really think it’s not a law go take it to court on behalf of one of these people.

saw this on reddit the other day:

“In the past 18 months I’ve gone from proud Australian to a general disdain of the country and I feel like Australia is not the country for me moving forward.
The rules – the QR code’s, masks outside, the policing, feeling like an outcast for thinking that zero Covid is a ridiculous notion. I know these exist elsewhere but Australia has gone full crazy. My friend in the USA says it’s completely relaxed and there’s no checking in etc.
On top of already being such a nannied country – no drinking in parks, $200 fines for going 3km over the speed limit on a highway etc.
I don’t see myself ever being able to afford a house here unless I move to regional and even then..
I’m seriously starting to consider leaving for good – I don’t have any real family ties left here and I’m still “young” in my early 30s.

I have to laugh at this post on MB. All the bravado and talk of a housing crash is gone. People are resigned to the fact property prices won’t crash nor will be crashing anytime soon.
