More importantly, I hope nobody starts to think that all Australians sound like her.

Drift ! Drift ! Whatever happened to Bondi's bridge? I didn't even know Pam bought a bridge! (Gullible, I say)

Yep. In a message to Norway's prime minister, Trump blamed the country for not giving him the prize. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.."

Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence
nomadpete replied to old man emu's topic in Science and Technology
Rememberthat A.I. is constantly learning, and gaining better every day. As it matures, it will exceed everone's ability to pick a fake. Furthermore, our collective reliance and trust is steadily increasing. It will easily replace googling to find the answer to any question. In future I'm going down to the mens shed or the pub to get my facts. -
The last comment puzzled me. After 20 years service, one of Canada's hovercraft is being sold off to be used for rescue work in 'the swamps of the Indian Ocean'. Ocean is not usually swampy.

And rupert has never forgiven you.

One trick is going to the propagandists and official PR first to identify what definitely is not a truth, and to set floors and ceilings for where reality might be. I applied that to the news about the Good murder in USA. When the WH called it domestic terrorism, I combined that with assuming that any story headline that stirs deep emotions is likely non-credible. So I figured it was murder. Of course in that particular example we'll probably never see a court ruling to confirm.

We all get caught up in major news stories from time to time. With all the tech & social media "improvements" to our information sources, what can we trust? When you say "the press", do you mean the multi-billion-dollar corporations owned and/or controlled by billionaire oligarchs? Just my opinion, but if you're still consuming, or worse paying for that stuff, it's probably best to quit the habit. These days we have to dig deeper.

At last! A post that's NOT political. How can a hovercraft be an ice breaker?
-
Well it was on the news in Steak-n-kidney. I clearly recall laughing my head off about it. At the time I wished I could go down to Adelaide to sit on that beach - would have been some party! (Of sceptics)
-
Here's another conspiracy for you. Does it confirm the new bond between Russia & USA ?
-
But I paid cash for it.

IF the Riley allegations are factual, they should have some provability. For instance his allegation about a military person being dishonorably discharged for watching porn (that showed a underage Riley), there should be verifyable records to support that allegation. For too long I have waited to hear any comment from victims of trafficing. If they exist, why have they not come forward?

Had a Cortina with that motor. Yes, it was fast in its day.
-
Yes, at this point, scepticism. But I'd bet your left nut there is a bunch of FOI applications rushing through the system. Based on recent crazy behaviour by entitled oligarcs and power brokers, it's too easy to believe it. If true, I hope there is enough integrity left in their corrupted legal system to bring the b.....s to account.

Nothing wrong with the word 'escort'. All types of working women deserve respect.

I once had a 15 year old escort. Needed a head job to be any good. Otherwise it was a good daily drive.

Land of the free ! Land of free speech ! Land of not-so-original dictatorship.

Here's a random thought. A hilarious thought. If USA takes over Greenland, will they re-own all the junk and pollutants that they left behind when they abandoned their under ice nuke missile base? It was home to 200 personnel for over 10 years. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/05/488872411/melting-ice-in-greenland-could-expose-serious-pollutants-from-buried-army-base

I think this would be a good time to resurrect the American Anti-Imperialist League. M. Twain was a member; “And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.” I rather like a lot of Mr Twain's writings.

Nah. None of that glory or talent. Just plain mad. In a mostly harmless way

Trump against crushing protesters.... in Iran. Opposite to USA. Where they just shoot them.

Somebody is sure to send a stern letter. Forget all those empty promises. Just wait for a new news cycle.
