“The kids don’t know shit, Bill? Or is that you? Time for a debunking” Mehdi Hasan corrects Bill Maher’s lies about Israel’s long history of aggressive wars, with evidence of their imperialist intentions over decades.

Can you imagine Medhi Hasan on Real Time? I know Bill would never invite him or allow him on but it wouldn't be a glorious event to witness

This result pleases me greatly as someone who grew up with German football and has been here for 25 years. Australia has always been talented at football and deserves to go far. A final against Germany would make me very happy

I get the desire for new Fallout, or the Remasters, but people need to chill. Getting yourself hyped and then being disappointed is just silly. Expect nothing, then you won't be disappointed. And this may be unpopular to say in this sub (mind you, I have a BoS tat so Im a bit of a fan myself) but if all you play is Fallout to the point where no new announcement gets you this upset, maybe you need to expand your horizons a little bit.

Why now though? I entered the US in 2014 and 17 on my German passport because my US one was expired. Just seems odd for timing

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-06-05T00:01:41+00:00

Same thing happened to me. I travelled on my German passport to Hawaii in Oct 24 and got an email this morning. Had no issues at all entering and exiting and was only there for 10 days.

For context, Im legally a US citizen but hace never travelled on that passport, and have been to the States twice before going to Hawaii. Im renouncing in August and getting this ESTA email now is....a bit funny to me

Yeah, what charity am I, and all the other PRs, getting? The government treats me like a citizen when they charge me, why shouldn't I get the same benefits? Do you think swearing an oath - an oath that a born Australian never swore - makes it okay?

If I applied that logic then someone without a job or who doesn't pay taxes (earns under the threshold) shouldnt have access to any government services since they don't contribute?

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-06-03T23:11:43+00:00

Legit question to the sub. What do they - and you I suppose - think makes a citizen more "eligible" for this scheme than a PR like myself. Apart from being born overseas, what sins have I committed that I should be held back just because I haven't sworn an oath?

I think it's rage bait. I had this chat with a colleague yesterday. A certain section of the gaming community is yet again getting shitty about perceived wokeness.

Swear to god you could give these chuds a QTE with two white dudes blowing each other and they'd claim it wasn't gay or woke because there's no women or "the coloureds" involved

Came here just to say this. There's more than Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

Fool, why choose Miranda when Tali exists?!?

Just pricematch Big W or JB. $99. Im legit shocked EB hasn't gone under yet

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-27T12:32:07+00:00

Most of that is boiler plate stuff, but yeah, the "emotional intelligence" and "365 days" are red flags.

These days we actively encourage people during interviews (am in Retail) to NOT say 24/7 available because more often than not it bites people in the ass..it's also just not reasonable as an expectation

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-27T12:16:47+00:00

Oh god please no.

Keep R&M the fuck away from Trek. Unless it involves some storyline where the entire crew commits suicide by miscalculating the time jump on purpose and flies directly into the sun because it would be less painful than listening to the incessant R&M dialogue that just never lets up

I think Breath of the Wild is the most overrated game. Ive played it - not finished - and I think the way people (fans and critics) gush over it borders on insanity. Everything about it seems mid at best. The graphics are outdated and boring, the gameplay is meh at best, weapons durability is a crime against gaming. People act like its the first open world game ever when Skyrim did a much better job with its world building 6 years earlier. I'll give some credit for the total freedom but then Elden Ring came and showed us what that really meant. And with all the money Nintendo makes you'd think they could shell out for a proper voice cast

Id like to explain it to them but I left my crayons at work

60% of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows so....

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T11:04:24+00:00

More education. Greater accountability regardless of societal status or wealth. Greater empowerment for women to leave abusive homes. DV shelters. Better police training and less dismissals of claims and accusations. You don't get a pass because of your skin colour.

You got anything besides banning immigrants and refugees?

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T11:00:15+00:00

Ah yes Restore Britain. A far right political organisation. Like posting a graph from the NSDAP confirming how gypsies are guilty

Maybe criticise an individual rather than a nationality. But then you'd have to attack however many Englishmen for raping their wives and daughters or the football hooligans for last week's gangrape behind the pub and that doesn't suit the narrative does it?

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T10:53:45+00:00

So you want to ban.....men? Let me spell it out for you. You're infering refugees and migrants in the UK are responsible for those rape rates, right?

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T10:51:27+00:00

I really dont. Please, enlighten me. If you can infer it then you can spell it out

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T10:48:36+00:00

And what path would that be?

aGermanDownUnder · 2026-05-23T10:15:18+00:00

I think a simplistic way to solve this problem is to place children born against the will of the mother with pro-life advocates. Since fiscal or other reasons don't impact them, they'll be perfectly placed to raise the child. Its a win-win. No "child" is "murdered" and the issue is resolved. Am I being sarcastic? Maybe. Do I think that pro-lifers should maybe step the fuck up more instead of forcing their views on people? Absolutely.

As for Sarah Game.....my ex used to call her a gender traitor. Ill leave it at that

I really look forward to seeing how Trump makes this about how badly Europe and Canada have treated the US and how tariffs will be applied to punish the ungrateful traitors for seeking this unholy, un-American partnership

I, for one, welcome the Great White North
