  1. Get the Commbank Mobile App as I have done. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) offers a mobile banking app that allows users to receive One-Time Passwords (OTPs) through the app via the internet rather than through SMS. OTPs can appear as notifications on your phone's screen, allowing you to access them without needing to open the app.
  2. Not sure how your non-sequitur response with your version of a remote German idiom in four different languages is relevant to my post... Paper and the internet may be patient, but clarity and accuracy still matter—especially in discussions where meaning can easily be lost. That’s why tools like spell check and context are useful. Speaking of which, could you clarify what you meant by ‘MAGAish’?"
  3. I understand your difficulty of spelling in a non-native language, as I have written in five others besides English. However, since English is considered the world’s lingua franca and a requirement on this forum, I’d suggest not ignoring the spell checker. As for your use of ‘MAGAish,’ I’m unclear on what you mean by it without any context.
  4. Your vagueness? Definitely an obvious Soapbar product review.
  5. And under certain circumstances loosers (sic) have forgotten how to spell.
  6. Instead of good Le Maroc, sounds like you’ve already been on some bad Soapbar.
  7. Thanks, I saw your post just after I posted—clearly, you wake up earlier than I do. Usually, once I’ve disproven the idiocy, I move on—I don’t have the time or patience anymore. But lately, I’ve been indulging more. I admire your perseverance. You keep at it until they inevitably go ad hominem, which is always rewarding—because at that point, they’re subconsciously admitting they’ve lost. It’s ironic that lawless Trump and his minions have embraced a law—Brandolini’s Law (aka the Bull<deleted> Asymmetry Principle): "The amount of energy needed to refute bull<deleted> is an order of magnitude greater than what it takes to produce it." Almost poetic, really—Trump’s entire movement thrives on spewing nonsense faster than anyone can debunk it. No wonder they hate us (ie fact-checkers) more than they hate Biden and paying taxes.
  8. Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Judging by the content of your posts, your lack of knowledge seems to be a recurring theme. You assumed—without evidence—that Fox’s 3 million primetime viewers are all unique, then used that faulty assumption to make a bogus calculation. The burden of proof isn’t on me to disprove your misinformation. I simply offered an educated opinion; if I had claimed it as fact, I would have provided a reliable source. I still can—but still the onus is not mine. As the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy states: 'The burden of proof lies with the person making a claim. If they fail to provide evidence, the claim can be dismissed without the need for counter-evidence.'
  9. If you're claiming this map represents current 2024 data, the burden of proof is on you to provide a reliable source confirming it. The onus is not on me to disprove your claim. Until then, we can only assume you're either misinformed or deliberately spreading falsehoods.
  10. While we’re on that subject, how’s living in your rented bedsitter in the Cross these days? —I thought someone with an IQ of 143 would be living in their own mansion in Vaucluse.
  11. The whole Trump phenomenon is a textbook case of boiling the frog—a slow descent into authoritarianism that his supporters either don’t notice or willingly ignore. It started with just words—little breaches of norms, like mocking opponents, attacking the press, and cozying up to dictators. Then came the real heat: undermining institutions, refusing to accept election results, and calling for political retribution. By the time he's openly saying he’ll be a dictator "only on day one," the pot is practically at a rolling boil, but his supporters are too cooked to notice. And why won’t they criticize him? Because they’re not just the frog in the pot; they’re the ones turning up the heat while yelling, "Feels like freedom!" Every time he pushes the line—whether it’s attacking democracy, stoking division, or threatening to jail opponents—they rationalize, excuse, or cheer it on. By the time they do realize it (if ever), it’ll be too late. Either they’ll be left croaking, or they’ll insist that boiling alive was the plan all along.
  12. A famous idiom by John Heywood states, ‘There are none so blind as those who will not see.’ I would add that there are none more blind than those who cannot recognize that the Emperor has no clothes!
  13. That's a lot of words to serve up a Gish Gallop. I must admit, revisionist history wasn’t part of my curriculum. But just to clarify—Trump was not the democratically elected president in 2020? Or are we rewriting that too?
  14. The Walt Disney Company contributes approximately $75 billion annually to the U.S. economy, supporting over 200,000 jobs nationwide across its parks, media, and film operations. I’m sure Canada and Mexico would welcome Disney’s “wokeness” with open arms.
  15. The usual cult logic, with critical thinking and reasoning tossed out the window! The classic Godwin’s Law Misuse (Strawman Fallacy)—as if any Hitler comparison is automatically invalid. But Godwin’s Law just states that as a discussion goes on, the probability of a Hitler/Nazi comparison approaches. It doesn’t mean every such comparison is wrong. Even Godwin himself has said they can be valid when discussing fascist behavior. Then we get the False Equivalence—claiming “DEI is discrimination” ignores the difference between systemic oppression and corrective policies. That’s like saying seatbelt laws “discriminate” against reckless drivers. Next up, the Loaded Question (Complex Question Fallacy)—“Are you some kind of anti-white racist?” assumes racism without evidence, forcing a defensive answer. Classic rhetorical bait. And of course, the Reversal of Victim and Offender (Gaslighting)—pretending that reducing privilege is the same as oppression. Because apparently, making things fair is an attack on those who had the advantage.
