We used to have a "baby bonus" payment about 20 years ago in Australia. It made very little difference to birth rates and was derisively called the "plasma TV bonus". Turns out that even 20 years ago a small lump sum of cash wasn't enough to persuade people to sign up for a lifetime of expenses and responsibilities by having more kids. It was just a handout to middle class families that could already afford to have kids, which is why it was scrapped.

How many playing card packs have you been opening? Generally you want to optimise your deck by cutting it down but I have had a good run with a big deck build with the right jokers to make it work.

Australia made them offer refunds thanks to our consumer law.

This is literally what happens to Helldivers in Helldivers 2. As much as I enjoy the game I'd rather not have Super Earth become a reality.

This was a defamation case, i.e. a civil case. Ten's defence was that their imputation that Lehrmann raped Higgins was substantially true, so the judge had to rule on whether or not the rape happened. It is not a criminal conviction and there won't be one in this case because the criminal trial was abandoned due to juror misconduct.

Out of character, super earth is obviously not good, but I don't think the helldivers are, necessarily. More victims imo

Helldivers are absolutely victims of Super Earth's leadership. The tutorial shows just how little training they actually receive, then they're immediately frozen and shipped off to be used as disposable cannon fodder. Their missions are almost always accomplished by throwing Helldivers at the objective until the ones lucky enough to survive complete it, or they run out of bodies.

ABC News in Australia has been using the passive voice everywhere in regards to Israel until they simply couldn't avoid it any longer now that Israel has killed an Australian aid worker.
