    Madonna once again stirs controversy after sharing AI-generated images with the Pope

    Yes. And the "fish lips" person. Your remark may have been ironic, and if so, I apologise for including you in the name-calling category 🙇‍♂️

    Madonna once again stirs controversy after sharing AI-generated images with the Pope

    You might be right. But the "unintended consequences" of those portrayals are what I find more disturbing. PC has nothing to do with it, either way.

    Madonna once again stirs controversy after sharing AI-generated images with the Pope

    Let's stop the name-calling and use some proper argument. At our age we should have some wisdom worth sharing.

    Madonna once again stirs controversy after sharing AI-generated images with the Pope

    Disagree with Madonna's behaviours, by all means, but name-calling is unnecessary. No, I'm not a Madonna fan.

    Madonna once again stirs controversy after sharing AI-generated images with the Pope

    What truly disturbs me is how potentially traumatising those photos are for victim-survivors of clergy sexualised abuse. It must be like seeing one's childhood or teenage horrors replayed in public. I also think SDC should have been onto that also, and prefaced everything with an appropriate...

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    I was lucky, then. Mine was only $80 - upfront. Medicare returned $42. Just as well I had money on hand but what if you haven't? I'm on a fixed income and I'd rarely - if ever - have $188.50 lying around to spend at the GP's.

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    Pharmacists and nurse practitioners are highly trained and skilled professionals. Calling into question their ability to deliver high quality health care is unwarranted.

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    Your super fund ain't so super ... Any text - or email - asking you to update information is automatically dodgy in my book. Consider getting another fund?

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    They're doing the survey on the street. What he is has no relevance since bus drivers catch buses as passengers also.

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    The question assumes he's a passenger: "If you were travelling on a bus ... " You wouldn't say the driver was "travelling," even though it's technically the case.

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    It was assumed, reasonably. The bus driver was being disingenuous.

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    As I ended my post ... bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does this bus driver only ever board a bus to drive it?

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    Which therefore destroys the punchline. Bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does he pretend he's driving the bus even when he's a passenger? When he plays Bus Driver does he also do the sound fx - vroom vroom, ding!, screeeeech ... ?

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    I believe in human decency. I would offer my seat to anyone in genuine need.

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    Fail. Would have been better if he'd said, "I'm  the bus driver." OTOH, I'm sure bus drivers travel in passenger seats when not on duty. So why wouldn't he give up his seat ... ?

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    Haven't been caught that way ... yet But I did receive a "bare bones" text, purportedly from my bank. It looked dodgy. I reported it. Here's the thing: IT WAS ACTUALLY LEGITIMATE! Still, you can't be too careful these days ...
