I dual boot. It’s so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn’t run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.

JFC, it’s real. Someone posted a link to purchase the book off Amazon below. I’m gobsmacked.

I’m trying to follow the money and can’t find much but there are very strong ties to the Christian/Baptist community, which means that there is an above 0% chance that Advance Australia has or is providing funding.

Their partners and partner’s partners are anti-sex (such as CATWA who believe that all prostitution is not a job but is a form of sex trafficking and appears to be against the sex industry), anti-abortion, and all board members and their associated partners are very painfully white.

There’s also an association with the NCJWA, whose president appears to be pro Zionist and has lauded Jillian Segal as a voice of moral clarity (anti-semetic envoy for government pushing to reduce protest rights, husband made a $50k donation to Advance Australia).

Hilariously, one of their partners is called ‘Campaign Against Sex Robots’.

Anyway, in summary, this appears to be a very well funded right wing puritan religious group whose only games experiences are in the political realm rather than PC.

Alright, time to research and rat these idiots out. The fact that they tried to ban Detroit: Become Human is enough for me to know that they’re not gamers at all and are just cookers.

All of them. There’s so many.

Sunfish. Vampire squid. Blob fish. That terrifying worm that hides. Pistol shrimp.

It’s a whole new world down there. Forget Mars!

Dunno. Greg sounds more nerdy than James.

Nope. We usually shorten the last name instead if it doesn’t roll off the tongue easily. Or we name them after a beloved fictional character, eg. jimbob.

Well… They had Madonna on some years ago and that failed spectacularly when she lip synced the entire act…

I don’t think Eurovision would work with America in it because of American exceptionalism. That’s why you’ll stick to your national song contests.

Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.

That’s why most of the money hungry games were in the arcades back then. PC gaming wasn’t nearly as big.

All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

I use Waterfox but I’ll try that too. Would suck because I like Waterfox.

Noted. Will try that! Thanks

It doesn’t matter. The choice was the status quo or something worse for everyone on earth, economically.

Everyone in the world knows the US election system is crap and has been getting more crap for decades. The world isn’t angry at you specifically. The world is angry at the apathy of the general American public and the sheer amount of influence America has over the global economy since WW2.

There were protests for George Floyd. There was the MeToo movement.

But when it comes to a convicted felon and known criminal taking the top seat? Crickets. Anything that isn’t US centric, such as the global economy, doesn’t seem to rustle any of your jimmies. Hence, we’re pissed because your apathy has brought in economic instability on all of us when it could have all been easily prevented.

Something as small as ‘not having the right candidate’ or even ‘sticking it to the libs’ means nothing to the rest of the world when what we have now it’s the alternative.

For a country with so much global power, the populace is so, so, so small minded.

Standards Australia is a mega rort. There are so many things that should change - such as making all standards viewable by the public to check for non compliance.

Totally agree with the feedback. Reduce and enforce maximum vehicle sizes or class the yank tanks as trucks.

Itch.io game devs unite! There’s still hope. I miss Ebaumsworld, New grounds and Miniclip too but I think there a small part of the Internet that still has this charm.

Here’s my game dev contribution:

What’s in my sanga?

Time to test out Armor Paint this weekend then.

So, who will be America’s Navalny?

I can bend the top segment of my second toe backwards, 90 degrees on both feet. It feels comfy. It freaks my husband out when I do it.
