And if they don't like the "feedback", who's to say that they won't just push ahead with this anyway? After all, it has bipartisan support, so exactly who is going to stand in their way?
Anyway, here is the original: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-28/government-contemplates-major-expansion-of-esafety-powers/103778180
Can you? I was under the impression that they were the same virus, but not the same… Severity at least.
Why then is genital herpes so much harder to treat and recover from..?
As I said, I knew they were the same virus, but I didn’t think it was quite that simple…
Lol, what are the three games (apart from Crash) referenced here, out of interest..?
I don’t really care about half-naked dude (bottom panel), but I don’t recognize the other two either, so…
I’m interested to know, actual gamers! Because I’m not much of one, ha.
“What is a woman”, anyway..?
But also, seeing as most of what they do “naturally” (i.e. without added equipment) is oral, just imagine the horrific STDs that might come along with that, lol…
Like, say your partner is bisexual, so she picks up one of the… Less pleasant stds, and then the only way you can get her off is to go down on her… 🤷🏻♂️
“Genital herpes but oral” sounds particularly nasty, to me, lol…
In this case, it seems to have given her a more masculine jawline (which seems to be a thing that these women are getting done), which is… Amusing.
“Lose pretty smile, gain masculine jawline,” seems like an odd devil’s bargain to make, but she’s definitely not alone in that one…
Also veneers. Veneers (as this woman has, now) are awful, and unless you really need them (like, because you have an actual medical problem/developmental defect), they almost always look worse.
Erin Moriarty, Natalie Alyn Lynd, even bloody Richard Hammond…
That is another trend that just needs to die.
Notice how Lucie can’t even smile properly anymore?
Yeah, that. Combined with the thousand cock stare, of course…
On your second point, I really don’t think most of the surgeons doing this sort of butchery are the same ones doing regular reconstructive surgery, as in your example…
They’re different specializations…
Is there some crossover (in terms of breast reconstruction and implants)..? Sure. But it’s very rarely the same surgeons, or indeed the same practice…
You go to a cosmetic surgeon because you want to change how you look.
You go to a specialist plastic/reconstructive surgeon to fix something after a medical problem.
Hell, even I have been to a plastic surgeon, after having a potential skin cancer removed.
I don’t view them as being the same.
She’s 33.
The brown-haired one (top right) is maybe… 5 years ago?
The other two are obviously much more recent.
Her Wikipedia photo is from the year she did Eurovision (2017), which is how I remember her looking…
So yeah, I guess we can argue that she hit the wall at like, 30, but I think it’s more that she went from “singer and talent show contestant” to “singer, musical theatre actress and model”, lol…
Perhaps unsurprising, therefore, that she ruined herself like this…
But still sad.
I would argue that, when it comes to Disney, Universal and WB, people, at least some people, go for the express purpose of meeting the dressed-up staff…
As an adult, I find that quite odd, and it’s partly why I found Universal Studios a bit disappointing (the rides sucked, lol), but clearly some people go for expressly that reason, especially families with children, as here…
In that same Universal Experience, if the Lucille Ball impersonator that came up to us while we were having lunch was a drag queen, I would definitely have freaked the fuck out, lol…
This would essentially be the end of human fertility, lol...
Which I suppose is what they want, unfortunately.
Obviously much darker than the incident in question (and I don't see anything wrong with what JoK did, here, at all), but this is essentially the narrative that this weirdo is going for, lol:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRABCGXEUXo
(Don't Stand so Close to Me by The Police - pretty dark song for a former teacher to write, to say the least...)
OG link so you can watch the video (which the article is mostly a transcript of):
I note that they, as always, initially claim that this is "voluntary", but then, from personal experience, I've just tried to sort out some financial matters with the Tax Office only to be told that I can't even access my record without this shit.
So there you go. So much for "voluntary". Of course the normies just eat it up.
(Almost) Everyone has to pay tax, of course. So you'd think there would be more pushback. But nope, not in this country of (mostly) apathetic, extremely rule-abiding cowards, lol...
What a fucking nightmare.
I saw the end result of these policies in Scandinavia (a complete digital record of every individual, generally publicly-accessible, including everything from home address to phone numbers to job and marital status) and I really, really don't want to see that repeated here...
Yeah, 2 is my favourite, too (lol).
Especially the Russian campaign, where they yell something like "Die, fascistii" all the time, and with the random quotes each time you die.
Ahh, good times, good times.
I did also like the first Modern Warfare, though, with the Russian Separatist/Middle Eastern shit. Kind of gave up after that one though, lol.
The amusing inverse of this is that, in a country like Sweden or Denmark, where this is even more taboo, when you do it, women tend to see you as even more confident than you may actually be, lol.
Like, you stand out to an extreme extent, compared to the locals, who simply don't do it, lol.
Mostly seemed to work in my favour, at least in person. Though small sample size, admittedly. shrug
Being an aide at 20 is genuinely impressive, if true. That's about all I'm taking out of this, lol...
What's that - third year of college, at most?
KOTOR (the first one. The second one was weird) remains probably my favourite game of all time. It is brilliant. The comic series of the same name (different story, but same canon) is very good, too.
But seriously, it is excellent, and, I believe, quite influential on other, non-Star Wars games that came after it.
Star Wars Battlefront (again, the first one) is fun, too, although whether it is "good" or not is a matter of opinion.
And I would also put my vote in for Age of Empires I, Age of Mythology and COD 2, as those seem to be somewhat... Underrated entries in those franchises.
Lol, this isn't so much a "good" game, but does anyone remember playing Bugdom..? I wasted many an hour during early High School (middle school equivalent, for the US) playing that and those Stickman action games, lol...
Also fucking Duke Nuke'em, which... Was very adult, for like, 12 year old me, lol... I distinctly remember you could give strippers cash to get them to flash their tits for you. Though I didn't fully "get" that, at the time.
Would not say it was a particularly "good" game, however. Ha.
Is she that ugly, though?
Just looks plastic like all of them, to me...
Unless you mean specifically because she is Israeli, in which case, eh... I'm not gonna argue about that.
I did see a comment by someone who found her nudes. They said that they really weren't that impressive, anyway, lol. So... Maybe, I guess.
Agree about going outside and enjoying the sun, though. Life is much better when you do that, yes. I think sometimes we can forget that, lol.
The NRL equivalent is obviously Tina: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOp5zlRZaSE
Although I think that's always been a Nine Network thing.
Man they did a great job with that though, lol. Definitely iconic!
Yeah, you're probably right. Though I think it says something about the ABC when all their good sports presenters have gone to 10, even to shit like The Project (Georgie Tunny! What a wasted talent...), leaving the ABC with... Daniela Intili (or however that is spelled), who is almost comically terrible, and that Tony Armstrong guy, who turns up to work drunk half the time, and yet gets extra presenter gigs, purely because he is "Blak", lol...
But yeah, re the "good ole days" of Channel 10...
Remember they even had the footy at one point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSINGk5Yk5c
Unironically responsible for a revival of Hunners' career, and probably the best intro to the game ever. Also back when both the AFL and the networks still pretended to give a shit about regional communities, as you can see in the footage included there...
Seven has never managed to surpass that, IMHO.
To be fair, Inman-Grant is very much a liberal, Washington-trained, American…
It’s just that she somehow ended up out here (she fucking glows, so I’m sure the deep state had some sort of role) and has now ended up in this position specifically created for her…
It’s all really, really weird, and I doubt we know the full story, but I almost guarantee you that the US had a role in it, lol.
I mean, I’m not sure I agree on the latter point…
Go to any country town in Aus, and you’ll find attitudes are extremely different to the huge, bloated, rich capital cities…
As fucking Miriam Margoyles (fat, lesbian British clown) recently found when the BBC sent her to fucking Broken Hill (mining town) and she expected it to be straight out of her favourite drag queen movie (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert), lol…
The problem is multiculturalism, insane levels of immigration (mostly non-white, since at least the 70s) and a bloated, self-important middle class of moral busybodies…
And as for your comment about the Queen and the lack of pushback, I would counter that with the likes of Eureka, Breaker Morant, the anti-conscription fights in WW1, and people like Ned Kelly…
The national cowardice and apathy is a much more recent thing, for the most part, which can be largely traced back to a) mass immigration, and b) mass university education/indoctrination…
I was at my local RSL yesterday. I assure you that “the forgotten masses” still exist, and I saw plenty of them there. You just don’t hear from them most of the time, unfortunately…
Yeah, 10 is effectively dead and buried at this point, lol…
Though it is kind of funny how many “prominent” ABC journos still end up at 10, despite them hemorrhaging cash, which tells you just how bad things must be at the “National Broadcaster” right now…
For non-Australians, it’s worth noting that SBS, the “multicultural” second national broadcaster is also partly owned by/syndicated to Vice Media, which means that a) it is full of woke American trash, and b) surely it must be running at a loss by now, with that arrangement…
I don’t understand how that arrangement can continue to be viable, with the collapse of Vice and all, yet here we are…
Australian TV is sort of in this weird “undead” zone, with all these shuffling corpses of US networks shoving their programming on Aus audiences, too, atm…
I expect it’s only a matter of time before an ABC/SBS merger, and Ten either merging with one of the other two, or simply ceasing to exist, lol…
Streaming in Australia outside of Netflix only survives because of live sports. Quite literally. Which is why Disney+ and such have been even more of a failure over here, when competing with local services (Stan, Kayo, etc)…
I can’t imagine how these services stand to make any money at all over there, without that element…
Yup. Particularly alarming when you consider that the "eSafety Commissioner" is essentially the whim of one person (Julie Inman-Grant), so I'm sure part of the intention there is to shield her from criticism, herself...
Can't protest the government-appointed chief janny if you're not allowed to "pile on" the chief janny. taps head
It's very on brand for Aus that this woman gets paid nearly half a million dollarydoos a year, and regularly* attends Davos, and this is the first such specially-created "position" in the world. Odd, but definitely "on brand"...
