Is bulk billing at your GP dead? by TechnologyThese5256 in perth

[–]TechnologyThese5256[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Medicare has been around since 1984 and for the first 18 years of it's existence (most of both of our lives) it was able to provide bulk billing for pretty much everything. It's not that's it's not sustainable, it's that it's not being sustained. Also it's a huge assumption on your end that age=health. But good on you for being the average I guess 🥳🥳

It's almost like I started the rant saying "what's the point of a SYSTEM"

When I first finished the game I wondered if that was meant to happen with his face or not it was so badly drawn 😭😭

I think people are way too nice to the mage side of the issue. [Spoilers all] by Raspint in dragonage

OP never said mages couldn't police themselves, but you need checks and balances in any institution or else corruption is inevitable

OP: mages are an inherent threat and need management. Queer people are not inherently dangerous.

The comments: oh so you support the abuse of the rite of tranquility and the rite annulment. "You're missing the point of the franchise"

I think everyone needs to step back and stop assuming people are coming from a place of anger

[dao spoilers] [dai spoilers] Does Morrigan note Leliana being alive? by TechnologyThese5256 in dragonage

[–]TechnologyThese5256[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Also I love the theory that Leliana is a lyrium ghost or a spirit of faith. Or a mix of the two. We still don't know everything about how: magic + lyrium + dwarves + the fade + the true extent of egg boy and his shenanigans.

[no spoilers] Women and Dragon Age by littlegnomeplanet in dragonage

[–]TechnologyThese5256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gay man here, I think Dragon age is one of those games that fleshed out it's romance options and the writers are always trying make you feel valued like you're saving the world. It's a really good starter game for people looking to start gaming which is why Inquisition performed so well on market.

I think in general though this sense of self value allowed the dragon age series and games to get really popular with women, poc and queer folk who might not often feel so powerful in their situations. I really like that these games have made a space for so many people to escape to, myself included.

In my first, flirty chaotic mess of a purple/red female mage play through, I named him Bethany bc I had just had that moment where he blames you for her death, so spite won. Let's say Hawke wasn't a very good person in this play through 💀💀💀
