Also, "what you're doing is real shitty, but we can't really talk about human rights abuses without making ourselves look like hypocrites".

I went to a talk by Israeli & Palestinian reps from PCFF earlier this year in Melbourne. It was heartbreaking, but also encouraging to see people trying to peacefully mend bridges and spreading awareness. Naive, maybe, but it's good to know that some good came out of the atrocities.

This attack by Hamas (and the Israeli response) would've undone decades of their effort. I can't begin to imagine how devastating the latest events would be. It's a sad day for humanity.

This has been happening for centuries though. Cao Cao mandated that first and last names needed to be at least 3 characters in all government forms. This move upset Lu Bu, which decided that war was the only way to settle the issue.

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year...

So you're saying it's meditation in sheep's clothing?

This article is prime "SelfAwareWolves" material...

Countering this in international media by offering more balanced views for a global audience is near impossible as censorship is rife. There almost seems to be a global compact to control the narrative, a propaganda war powered by today’s digital technology.

What's worse is that I don't know what qualifies as a "business day". Would this Friday count as a business day in Victoria? (especially when the BSB is pointing to a local branch id)

The thing that allows near-instant transfers is NPP (New Payment Platform). PayID is built on top of it, but there are banks on the NPP that haven't enabled the PayID feature.

For transfers to happen instantly requires you to initiate the transfer electronically, both sender & receiver banks need to be on the NPP, and the amount transferred is below a limit set by your bank (usually $5k?).

Otherwise it's the usual slow transfer. Either next business day, or two, depending on what time you make the transfer.. A Thursday evening transfer may arrive Monday morning if you're unlucky.

You need to go further right and claim that the scary black woman is actually a man too..
