If some criminal indictments came out against trump for being a pedophile, the right wing will go NUTS. "It's a witch hunt!".

If Clinton gets indicted for his pedophilia, lefties go "yeah good, about time".

You see the difference right? One's a cult, the other is normal?

I know that conservatives like to go "if you go after trump for being a pedophile, then what about Clinton?"

And EVERY SINGLE LEFTY goes "okay".

Like, what a bizarre world where one side of the isle ignores pedophilia if it's their idol doing it, and the other has a blanket "no pedophile" policy.

Opposite monkey paw situation, as cows are no longer farmed due to the poison risk, global emissions are massively reduced. And the huge amounts of land dedicated to feeding cows is returned to forestry, further reducing emissions.

The poisonous cows solve climate change long before the vegans can.

Good point, corrected.

What's not in their jeans is probably in their genes.

Key word is "state mandated", only the state of Victoria was locked down, I think COVID barely scratched the other states. I also lived in NZ at the time, and as you recall, we barely got COVID and I spent 2020 and 2021 skiing and partying. Thanks to clever leadership, not seen in the US at the time.

As for UK healthcare, I quickly researched where Australia stacked up in the world and by most metrics, the UK was overwhelmingly the best. Unlike the weirdly propagandized Americans, I don't have to do weird mental gymnastics to try and force my country at the top. I can accept facts.

We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.

The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.

For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.

Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.

OP is referring to the word "Nazi" when referring to "the N word".

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago

SquigglyEmpire is trying to say that "the N word" typically refers to a derogatory word for black people, not for Nazi.

Video games would probably ban you for saying Nazi because it's a nasty thing to call someone or be called. It probably isn't relevant to the game and it's a topic they'd probably prefer not to have discussed.

Here in Australia, our voting system means you can't waste a vote. If whoever I vote for doesn't win, my vote gets shifted to the next on my list.

Every year I vote for the Animal Justice Party, Environment Australia, Progressive Unity etc. They never win, but my vote is still registered as having gone to them. Eventually my vote shifts along and either lands on the greens who win my electorate, or labour. But they'll still see that the Animal Justice Party DID get a lot of votes, and maybe the Greens or Labour will focus more on animal based policy.

If 49% of your American electorate votes blue, maybe your right wing winner will try to appeal to that sizeable demographic by not being so horribly right wing.

Are you suggesting this question might be stupid

 

"Lemmy at em!" says some wisecracking character in my video game maybe, in a referential nod to a relatively niche community in an attempt to appeal.

For the past six years I've been working on Game Over, a Comedy Rhythm RPG, and maybe you'll like it?

There's a little demo on Steam and also one on itch.io which you can play free of charge! What a deal! What a sweet treat for yourself and friends!

Also I don't have a complaints form, so if you have any, please comment below and I will angrily defend myself and take potshots at you.
