I can’t really think of any other valid reasons.

My place is vacant 100km away while I look after my bed-ridden demented Mum. Unpaid.

My “vacancy tax” is the $1000 of stuff stolen by thieves who broke in.

He really said goodest? Or is that transcript satire? Too much sarcastic cleverness in this thread for me to follow.

If they are the only two options then it isn’t practical. Wouldn’t six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

The only other European country which has FPTP voting is Belarus.

Canada has it too and Trudeau reneged on his promise to ditch it.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

I wasn’t complaining about the Lerhrman-Higgins outcome, only Larissa Waters’ asinine comment.

There aren’t any actual cases where a false rape claim has been manufactured to exploit lack of evidence about the alleged perp’s alibi

Any? You are very confidently wrong. Just Google it. eg here and here and here and here.

My friend wasn’t even allowed to publicly defend himself against defamatory allegations of sexual misconduct which continued to be made with impunity. When he tried to raise her behavior at the IVO hearing he was told to shut up by the (female) magistrate because the hearing was about him not her.

I should have mentioned that this was in Victoria which has recently changed to new laws which allow such abuse of process.

I interpret Larissa Waters’ tweet as you did and am shocked by it. That you seem to consider it reasonable is disturbing.

While it is unfortunate that women without rape evidence cannot get justice, there are just as many evil women in the world as there are evil men. If they automatically get believed without evidence in rape allegations (or predator/stalker allegations like my friend’s case) then of course the evil ones will exploit that to put in jail the men they simply don’t like.

I have it on good authority that she has me next in her sights because I am co-admin of what she sees as a rival activist group. This is the right-wing hijacking well intentioned but naive left-wing sentiment.

The AVO matters because the court tacked on a new condition a few months later in a hearing he wasn’t even invited to: He was not to mention her publicly even indirectly (eg “one of the people running group X”).

Identifying her in the video isn’t resulting just in her seeking civil defamation against him but also pushing for criminal contempt of court (despite due process being ignored by the court).

Meanwhile she was allowed to continue defaming him. In fact him suing her for defamation is how it all started: she posted publicly that he is a sexual predator and stalker. So there are two opposing defamation cases in the pipeline and the one criminal case against my friend.

The successful AVO was intended by her to demonstrate to her thousands of followers that her accusations were valid, even though she had no relevant evidence for the rubber stamp AVO. The add-on was to gag him so that he could not deny the allegations she was publicly making against him.

Thanks. Google Analytics doesn’t work that way though does it?
