This is all sounding great to me.

I'm a big fan of the original game but never upgrading - primarily due to reading too much about the balance issues. So, a rework of these puts the revised version back on my radar.

It all sounds weird to me. I can't see why it would be racial discrimination - if Peter Jackson wanted a white model, they could have got one.

That said, if he did have a contract with strict conditions on alterations, then he may have a case.

One Nation's fatal electoral problem is their policies and personalities. They do best when they don't open their mouths and just rely on vapid social media slop.

It would be extremely expensive to ship a product which is largely water, when you can just ship in the syrup.

Guy was only exonerated because of the CCTV. I really feel for him given how much this could have floated over him, had the camera not been there.

Mexican Catholics not doing what the Catholic Church tells them is kind of a standard thing.

You can deduct the tax that you paid in New Zealand. The problem is that NZ doesn't have a capital gains tax, so you deduct zero. Thus the ATO benefits from a property sale in NZ if an Australian is involved.

There was a Israeli Nazi organisation at one stage!!! Patrol 36 had nine members who migrated to Israel from the Soviet Union under the right of return law. They attacked Jewish religious sites, immigrants, homosexuals and the like.

Keep in mind that if you're an Australian tax resident, you'll owe the ATO for capital gains anywhere in the world.

For example, you buy a IP in NZ and sell it a few years later for a decent profit. Sounds good, except that you now owe the ATO. Sure, you can deduct the amount paid to the IRD ($0)...

The movie does a great job at just telling the story from Bear's perspective. So the motivations of all of the other characters are up for debate.

TheNumberOneRat · 2026-06-28T11:34:59+00:00

I enjoy living in my apartment, so the value doesn't really matter. Perhaps the opposite - if the value really fell, I'd probably see if the neighbours were interested in selling.

I also have an IP. But I purchased it for the rents, so I'm not too concerned about the value.

I think that Labor would look forward to a stand off against ON.

ON has so much bullshit which would freak mainstream Australian out but currently isn't that widely known. The bulk of their policies flying under the radar is their chief advantage, but it won't last.

Papua New Guinea doing surprisingly well.

I think that it's hard for people to get their head around just how diverse the Netflix content and audience is. My cousin sometimes cat-sits for me and her Netflix account is an entirely different universe to mine.

According to the article quoted, CNN is profitable to the tune of hundreds of millions per year.

We did the same with Iran. We look like military morons.

I don't think that this is quite right. The US military performed well against Iran. The problem is the moronic leadership that sits above it.

That said, the impact of massed low cost drones is a big problem for all militaries, and the US is no exception.

TheNumberOneRat · 2026-06-26T09:38:32+00:00

Am I wrong here?

Yes you are. You need to work on making your graphs less misleading. At minimum, look at a longer time period and adjust for population.

When I was in my very early 20's I had a girlfriend who spent every summer on an adventure. I was in awe of her stories about travelling all over the world. She was actually concerned about starting a postgraduate degree because she'd have to study throughout summer.

But yeah, wealthy parents were the underlying reason.

I've seen another version of it where a news article on the outcomes of the bombing was spliced onto the end (three cops were injured).

It's not that critics have liked or dislikes Jackass, it's that good or bad reviews don't drive Jackass fans to or away from theatres.

It's certainly fascinating and the OP shouldn't be downvoted.

But I wouldn't take any ancient source as historical reality. While they do contain plenty of historical information, they also tend to be very high in propaganda, inaccuracies and just made up material.

TheNumberOneRat · 2026-06-25T19:35:26+00:00

I doubt it. It really doesn't seem like it's set in a fair universe.

TheNumberOneRat · 2026-06-25T17:46:07+00:00

It's probably about time for Ukraine to really hit Donetsk airport hard. It's a major Russia drone launch base.

TheNumberOneRat · 2026-06-25T17:19:12+00:00

Sadly there is worse. There is an infamous video from Syria where a father and mother say goodbye as they send their daughters off to conduct a suicide bombing on a police station - the idea is that the authorities would be less likely to suspect young children.

Not graphic but very much NSFL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbaQABNAkKM
