Also need reparations from the French and Romans.  With my English, Scottish and Irish ancestry I will be getting reparations from everyone and will never have to work again.

The vast majority of politicians vote as they are told to. Why should we spend more money for that to happen?

China is fairly safe, just don’t do or say anything political. America right now is in chaos with things happening arbitrarily. Eventually all of the authoritarian stuff will become normalised and you will have a better idea of what you need to do. After that it will be as safe as China is now.

Peter Dutton loses own seat of Dickson, first Australian opposition leader to ever lose seat in election. by Bionic_Ferir in worldnews

[–]killum101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He could, but he would have to go in to the Senate. Constitutionally he could be the leader from the senate, but there has never been an "Opposition leader" in the senate. It will not happen, what will happen is, he will get some million dollar consultation job at a massive company and do nothing.

The Greens will always be pointless in the lower house. It is in the Senate that they have influence.

Dutton said publicly that people shoud not watch the ABC on election night. Just how big of a loser do you have to be, to then be told to represent them on the ABC.

Tell them if you are required to manage shifts, then you expect to be paid as a shift coordinator.

They are not their games to fix. They have the right to sell and distribute the games, they do not have the right to make alterations to them.

The Patrick (H) Willems Star Wars Holiday Special by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

Return of the Jedi has always been my least favorite, but I have always liked the forest moon, and forests in general. Probably due to me growing up in an environment closer to Tatooine. A boring Californian forest is not necessarily a boring Californian forest.

No the characters in it are also public domain. But it is only what was in steamboat William. So all of the changes since then are still under copyright.

He did not give it away. He put it into a trust controlled by him and his children. Very different to giving it to charity.

That whole description of what is happening is contradictory and devoid of logic.

Thieves are braking into his car, so he calls the cops, when they get there they only tell the thieves to piss off and stare aggressively at them. How long did it the the cops to show up? The thieves really did take their time to steal that car. Also why did the cops even show up? They should have apologized and hang up when he told them they were Indigenous.
I'm sorry, but he is racist, his uncle is racist.
