  My guess is that the American working system has drained so much from their working population that leashes are required because they have no energy left to pay full attention to their children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My very first full time job had an ‘internet computer’!

  Humble beginnings! I hope he continues to make many more soundtracks. I loved all the music in the game. It felt so right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd choose 4 tbh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey now… I’d totally take the extra 5cm. Maybe 15cm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comfy cozy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Um… I’m Australian and we just kicked out all the pro-Trump candidates. We also get to pick from a really long list of parties and even get to pick exactly who in the party we want. Voting is compulsory and because of that, voting has to be made accessible: it’s on a Saturday, you can vote early and polling stations are set up literally everywhere, even in the most remote locations.

  America has more agency than a dictatorship. That’s a very low bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, I’m not doubting that.

  I have to say, though, my most favourite American accent is the Minnesota one. Fargo helped make it all sound very endearing. Unsure how they pronounce mirror. Perhaps it’s ‘meer’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, ok I may have a solution that will make everyone happy: let’s all speak Esperanto! One flag for all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmmmm yes but the average American reads at a grade 6 level, so I daresay UK beats USA there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The way ‘herbs’ or ‘erbs’ (as some pronounce it) drives me absolutely nuts.

  Also, ‘mirror’ where it sounds like ‘meer’ drives me nuts.

  I definitely prefer British English. Love reading the old Agatha Christie books. E.g. “My word!” The colonel ejaculated, “I do believe that she’s dead!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still chaotic neutral, IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blames millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blames millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why most of the money hungry games were in the arcades back then. PC gaming wasn’t nearly as big.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Balatro. It’s a great Maths game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ABC 2025 Election Watch Party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think it was the Israel/Palestine stance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All the political mail I got this election⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. What a battleground. Enjoy your democracy sausage today and vote for your best interests, whatever that may be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Although i love it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No way. Fry it, mash it, stick it in a stew, I say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m in Australia so I would try and communicate with the indigenous population and teach them how to defend themselves against the upcoming colonist invasion and take advantage of what they have to offer, starting with forcing a signed treaty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to migrate to Bazzite. Just need a free weekend to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners

  Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can’t get anymore physical games on the switch 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨90s band alignment chart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell me where has he been?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨90s band alignment chart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Missing Everclear.

  Oh, I don’t think they’re taking about Derek…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely 2. Sharpening is such a nice break from writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and you do temporarily while waiting judgement in the cupboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call the cops and let them put you on trial, obviously.

  Also, I would’ve been able to see that you’ve come from the neighbour’s house, which is not as nice as mine. If it turns out in trial that you just wanted to escape the poverty of next door and want to sell your labor, hell yeah I’d pay. You can mow my lawn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They updated the article. Good.

  It’s just waiting for clarification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do enjoy the spectating the sport ‘Mental Gymnastics’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And who makes those laws? And for what purpose? Is it to curb the incoming illegal migrants? Doesn’t seem to work. Many people are crossing the border to look for work and are actually successfully integrating with their new society. Shouldn’t the law allow for legal transition rather than keeping them as illegal immigrants? Shouldn’t there be legal pathways to citizenship? Shouldn’t it be easy for those on visas to check when their papers will be expired to prevent being in the country illegally?

  The border isn’t a walk in the park to cross either. If you don’t die in the river, you’ll likely die in the desert. If it’s so high risk, what’s the reward worth? Why even bother crossing?
