Can I just have a fucking break? I put a cat down three weeks ago, and now a dog has fucking cancer?

Can I just get a month where nothing fucking goes wrong?

Housing as an investment is what went wrong - we told a fucktonne of rich cunts that a return is a right when dealing with property, and so the moment interest rates rose, they forced us tenants to eat their loss. Guarantee you if and when interest rates drop again, they won't pass on the savings though.

That was disproven several times - the guy who claimed it even admitted he'd altered Palworld's assets to show that supposed 'similarity'

Unfortunately the BBC has decided Australia doesn't get to watch any Doctor Who that was released before 2005 or is a spin-off. So uh, anyone got a plex share or torrent with the lot? Immediate preference is getting the same versions as what is available on iPlayer in the UK, but would settle for DVD rips if that's what's available.

OFF TOPIC:

Speaking from a feminstic but also Australian position, I think it's kinda problematic to outright ban language internationally when the connotation of concern is specific to one culture. We use that word pretty liberally here, and it isn't done so with remotely the same definition; instead, it is typically used interchangeably with "dickhead" and "arsehole". Whilst I definitely support your efforts, I don't think this is the right way to go about it, as it's a very clear use of American exceptionalism when Americans, taken as a part of the world, make up a minority of people on the Internet.

ON TOPIC:

Yeahhhh, Elon both frightens and disgusts me. What a selfish twat.

Have you got ship parts in your cargo hold? That's usually the problem I have

Hey all, so I've been playing around with habs, but have run into a major roleplaying issue: I cannot for the life of me find a hab with a bathroom.

Has anyone found a hab that has one? I know it's arbitrary (and we have an airlock for a reason), but I feel like my character lives on his ship and needs to go somewhere.

FWIW, you're correct; you haven't finished Act 2, and you actually got the bad ending.

Honestly such a great game, I really appreciate that a deus ex machina like that is an option and will just end the game; it fits in quite nicely with how D&D itself works

A summary of my viewpoint:

I am enormously sick of the no campaign brigading every discussion with terrible arguments in bad faith.

I have yet to encounter a legal expert, or for that matter, an Indigenous Australian who is accepted by their community, who is opposed. Similarly, the law is my degree. I've spent five years of my life studying it, and although I'm not a graduate yet (two units to go), I'd think I'd know more about this shit than Joe from bumfuck nowhere on Facebook.

There is no case for a no vote. None whatsoever. The change would not grant special rights to Indigenous Australians. It has been repeatedly explained by both lawyers and politicians. You can read the change yourself. It has to be a constitutional change, because that protects it from being outright removed by successive governments, which is the very thing that happened to the previous body that performed this role. By definition, it is not racist, as racism refers to negative treatment on the basis of race or ethnic background, and not differing treatment. This is one of three steps proposed by Indigenous Australians towards reconciliation, and isn't the endpoint. If it fails, it will be the endpoint.

When the colonisers arrived, Indigenous Australians outnumbered colonisers. Now, they make up just 2.5% of the population. We are driving them to extinction. If this fails, by the time we get around to trying again, it is likely the genocide will have all but been completed.

Ethically and morally, a yes vote is the only choice. Legally, it is the best choice for change.

Meanwhile, my boss refused to give me a raise because "we don't take inflation into account" and "your coworker was using his phone, and therefore you might be".

Frankly, if they get a payrise for doing fuck-all, I should be getting at least equivalent for busting my arse and producing some of the best results for the company in a decade.

Also, fuck the fact that we don't have legislated consistent payrises. If we legislated wages being directly tied to inflation, life would be much easier.

Mate, you have no idea what you're on about. Larian is one of the most transparent studios there is, and they have not once released a game with microtransactions or DLC. Similarly, every game they made has had a free "definitive edition" within twelve months of release.

Research before you make claims like this, Larian are not a AAA studio.

There is definitely a small (and loud) group of people who are very angry this game exists. I assume, based on history, that they're nazis very angry about the presence of same-sex relationships and non-white (as well as gasp! Female characters) in this game. Be great if Valve actually policed its community, becauee this kind of bullshit really shouldn't be okay.

Kennet can get fucked. He fucked this State over, and his ideas are awful.
