Because it depicts teenagers, yeah. It would have been fairer if it showed a dozen people with a more representative spread of ages. It would still skew young though.
I am Gen X, a computer scientist and often use my phone while walking.
Have often jumped on the wrong train because of my lack of attention. Not life threatening but results in extending my one hour journey by 30 minutes. But that kind of error did also happen occasionally pre-phone so at least now I have entertainment for that extra half hour :)

In Sydney recently it was raining all week but two days of sunshine were forecast a WEEK in advance. Not that a one week forecast is usually right. All you need is 24 hours and that is very accurate.

Calling Murdoch "shadow director" is not "alarmist". The reasons for this description of him is based on alarming facts. What would you call him based on these facts?
The example I gave from Insiders is what is alarmist, using lies. As is the example of ABC pretending Albo hijacked the DV rally whereas the full video, which ABC deliberately cropped, shows the truth.
I don't recall such blatantly dishonest reporting from ABC before Murdoch infiltrated.
Is this China bullying in international waters or are they supporting North Korea against UN Security Council sanctions which Members unanimously voted for?
If NK is still shipping munitions to Russia then this could be China helping Russia while pretending it is about water territorial rights.
Member state.. authorized to:
Inspect North Korea cargo on land, air, and sea, if the state has reason to believe that it contains prohibited items and seize any prohibited materials or technologies
Asked about the incident at the daily Chinese foreign ministry press conference, spokesperson Lin Jian said: "What truly happened was, an Australian military aircraft deliberately flew within close range of China's airspace in a provocative move that endangered China's maritime and air security in the name of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions."
Shanghai Daily columnist Andy Boreham pointed out... "the area they claim the incident happened is within China's EEZ... Innocent passage is allowed but military aircraft do NOT constitute 'innocent passage"
Kind of like the many Chinese military incursions in the airspace of the Taiwanese EEZ, eh Andy?
In my quote the claim was that Australia was there enforcing the UN resolution. That resolution was made a long time ago, well before China took sides in the Ukraine war. Too late to veto the resolution now.
PS Admittedly my quote is not from a credible source. I haven't time to test its veracity.
I'm gonna be paying for Proton Unlimited soon, which gives me unlimited email aliases through Proton Pass. Currently, however, I use Bitwarden and a SimpleLogin API key to generate aliases. Does paying for Proton give me unlimited aliases through SimpleLogin since SL is owned by Proton?...
But you only get two IP addresses on each device, right?
"Split tunnelling" lets you use your regular ISP for some apps but Proton for others. So you can use different browsers to appear to be two different people on a single web site.
They wouldn't have two votes in parliament if they win a seat as you seem to have misunderstood. They said that whoever of the two was rostered that week would vote on a bill.
reddit.com/Australia is very hostile to the idea but I am partial to it, especially because it makes campaigning feasible when it otherwise might not be. Not just for candidates with kids but for anyone who is not time/money rich (which is most of us since time and money are usually mutually exclusive).
The main problem I see (which nobody has mentioned) is that politicians develop relationships with each other, even sometimes with opposition members. These relationships are important but the job-sharing thing weakens the chance of rapport.
Regardless, it is a bad decision by the homeless person and an example which a better informed author would have left out. Insomnia is less harmful than hypothermia.
It isn't that alcohol doesn't really warm you, it is worse than that. It actually makes your body core colder while giving the illusion of the opposite.
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.
Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.
