Fuckin’ wild 😂😂😂 A couple had sex in a stairwell at Melbourne Central Station and caused the sprinkler system to break, flooding two stations in the middle of the night.
@tchambers Over a billion dollars for a presidential campaign is mind boggling but I think it also speaks to the significance of this election and the potential impact should the results go the other way. The winner of this election will determine the course of the country much more so than previous elections after all.
Inflations aside, I do hope future elections won’t need to raise as much. There are other sectors that would benefit from this level of funding.
“Oh, Indonesian is an easy language to learn! There aren’t any tenses or gendered words to worry about!”
Wait until they find out about prepositions, prefixes and suffixes which have irregular forms, repeat words that sometimes denote plural forms but sometimes are names or nouns, the frequent and informal use of ng- and ny- in front of verbs, and so on 🤪
@thomasfuchs I hope you’re right because I haven’t seen that kind of reactions or response other than from those already voting D or leaning D. Although the energy spike after switching to Harris is encouraging.
@liztai@gombang oh that was almost mandatory viewing for school students around the country for about a decade. The director was my classmate’s dad and around September teachers and the mass media would go off on their annual anti communist pro Soeharto propaganda lesson until the date rolled around.
@liztai so you decided to spread Chinese propaganda.
🤣🤣🤣
But seriously, it’s probably no more propaganda than the deluge of American cop and lawyer shows showing how great they are at upholding the law and justice when in reality they’re more trigger finger white nationalists on power trips.
@liztai ugh, that sounds like an Indonesian politician. They’ve been advocating for our own social media network for years and I think they were still attempting or at least encouraging for one in the previous term. As for stifling and suppressing speech, they don’t need their own to do that, they already can with existing ones.
