Oh they were on Reddit. Before I left, you could find them on ChapoTrapHouse. After the Ukraine War kicked off, you could see them all over world news, Ukraine, noncredibledefense, credibledefence, and the various war update subs.

Yes @[email protected], I was talking about state politics. The issue we have in Tas is that a not-insignificant portion of Labor's union base is tied to the forestry sector. That's at odds with the Green's position to end all native forest logging. More recently we have the salmon farms issue where Labor is in favour of continuing while the Greens want it gone. Labor is too tied up with primary industries here and the foreign-owned primary industries aren't interested in sustainability.

Krisite Johnson, closer to the Greens, and David O'Byrne, ex-Labor leader who got done in by sexual harassment allegations.

It's been a thing since the disastrous Labor-Greens minority govt in 2010. The Greens held up Labor's legislative agenda to get concessions around environmental issues. The end result was the utter bollocking by the Liberals in 2014. Suggesting Labor work with the Greens in Tas has been poison since.

I think the hate is them essentially selling a difficulty slider.

Same, I was really hoping Eric Abetz wouldn't get in though. He needed to go quietly into the good night.

Selling character changes when you can't start a new game without deleting all game data and cache.

That's while they're in the air. How much extra power will it take to get the whole shebang airborne?

This was a magnificent troll and someone took the bait. Let her take the art to the next level.

It's a thing in South East Asia. Usually sweetened with condensed milk. Not bad actually.

I was told by a Russian that they venerate beaurocracy. The documents show the objective truth and it doesn't matter that everyone involves knows that the contents is bullshit as long as the process has been followed to the letter.

Yagami Tetsuya assassinated Abe Shinzo, former PM of Japan, while he was drumming up support for a candidate from his party. The motive was his mother draining the family savings account to donate to a Christian cult known as the Unification Church, aka Moonies. He actually wanted to kill the Moonie leadership but deemed it unrealistic, so he went after Abe who had ties to the cult. After the assassination, it came out that a lot of Japanese leadership had ties to the cult and there was a bit of a witch-hunt.
