I agree with you, and I don't usually pay any attention to individual poll results. But this sentiment writ large may have an impact on the general election since voters typically link the performance of the economy to the current president (fairly or unfairly).
Interesting graph on this article showing correlation between consumer confidence and positive approval in the president:
Technically "next Sunday" is the nearest Sunday (eg "sunday of next week"), however next Saturday is not (because it's the Saturday of next week"). This assumes we all accept that Sunday is considered the start of the week - which isn't always the case nowadays.
It's chaos! But I'm just pointing out that there's a wired logic to it, which I assume at some point made more sense than it does in our time.
And legislate content ownership altogether. The idea that Reddit spent more than a decade growing its community just so that it could use our content as its own property is a huge issue. How do we safely and fairly communicate and express our ideas in society where the platforms that enable this automatically claim ownership of our ideas? Social media are middlemen with outsized influence.
It's such bullshit, Reddit could have been so much more. Researching my latest purchase/obsession, and the only way to find anything that isn't corporate sponsored reviews or AI content farming is to add the word "Reddit" to the end of the search.
As someone with an 11 year old account that I deleted during the TPA debacle, I fully recognise that there's a huge problem here. Reddit created a place where people wanted to put their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, and now that they are cashing out TOO FUCKING BAD LAME EBD USER.
Edit: /oblig fuck you spez. Slimy little arsehole sold everyone out and thinks he deserves to be rich because his shitty site isn't absolutely irredeemable.
The PSVR2 is by far the more glasses friendly. The entire facial interface is effectively suspended in front of your face and allows you to set a fixed depth that allows glasses clearance. The facial interface is much larger and supports larger frames.
Meta Quest is opposite: smaller and held in face by elastic that pulls the facial interface into your glasses.
I didn't have problems wearing glasses with either, but the PSVR2 is hassle-free. Still, I got lens inserts for convenience.
"Taylor Swift is going to come out in the presidential election and she is going to mobilize her fans," Kirk warned his viewers on Wednesday, adding, "And we're going to be like, 'Oh wow, where did all these young, female voters come from?' We better have a plan for that."
Kirk acknowledging a) the party does not attempt to represent young women and b) the current plan is that they hopefully just don't vote.
"If Judge Engoron can railroad a billionaire New York businessman, a former President of the United States, and the leading presidential candidate, just imagine what he could do to all New Yorkers,” Stefanik writes.
"If this can happen to someone who is above the law, imagine what could happen to you regular people."
Literally making her own counter argument in favour of the rule of law.
The report shows 48 per cent find it hard to know what content is available and where, 70 per cent wish they could manage multiple subscriptions in one place and 73 per cent wish they could search and discover content across all their subscriptions in one place.
Streaming platforms make it hard to find their content outside of their apps because they don't want to be a service, they want to be a destination. Just one of the many ways they are anti-consumer but expect they can demand premium pricing.
People want to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable service, and that's increasingly no longer the case.
I have the receipts. Here's false statements you made that I corrected using easily available resource you refuse to acknowledge.
not fucking one has presented any argument as to what this body will actually do to change anything.
And
Nobody has any fucking clue what powers it might have, its a blank check. Show one fucking piece of evidence that there is any public plan for what this "advisory body" can and can't do, or shut the fuck up.
And
There is literally no scope included - they'll decide after
And
And all this done by a group of people or an individual chosen through unspecified means with unspecified credentials.
All of these are defined and you have wrongly claimed otherwise. You're a rube.
Interesting. I'm curious why you aren't familiar with the details of constitutional amendment I linked to. You're clearly not basing your opinion on primary sources, so what secondary sources are you consuming?
Let's stick the the topic and avoid juvenile debate tactics.
Show one fucking piece of evidence that there is any public plan for what this "advisory body" can and can't do, or shut the fuck up.
Here is exactly what the referendum entails, and note that it specifically limits the role of the Voice (in whatever form it takes) to "make representations" and also that it specifically highlights that parliament - and only parliament - "shall... Have the power to make laws".
Chapter IX Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
129 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice
In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander by peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:
there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.
I repeat: the Voice Has no legislative, executive, or judicial powers, and you have no legitimate basis to imply otherwise. We are 100% not being asked to vote on a Constitutional change that undermines democratic principles. If you vote No on that basis then it is because you are ignorant of the proposed Constitutional change and have been conned by the right wing and media.
not fucking one has presented any argument as to what this body will actually do to change anything.
The Voice is part of modest recommendations proposed respectfully by First Nations people via the Uluru Statement from the heart. You need to be cynical and unrealistic to think that accepting and supporting their views - with no downsides to you personally or us as a country - really won't change anything. Are you really interested in the outcomes for First Nations people? If so, please explain how you expect to see change if the Voice is rejected?
Colonisation took everything from First Nation people, but all you care about is that recognition might end up costing you something. Sound a lot like that tribalism you reckon you're want to avoid.
And what are you actually giving up?
There is no threat to democracy, The Voice is an advisory body. It has no legislative, executive, or judicial powers.
Referendums are described in the Constitution to allow Australians to change how it functions. So we explicitly can change how aspects of our democratic process works, and obviously should do so to reflect changes in Australian society since Federation 120+ years ago.
...casually failing to mention that the "one racial group" are the traditional land owners who lost their land and 50,000 year-old culture due to colonisation.

That article is from Jan 2023 when Sony responded to a Bloomberg report that they had cut production due to lower than expected launch sales.
It's possible they will rebut this article too, but they haven't so far AFAIK.
