Honest Government ads take on New Zealand and its National Party (putting the 'n' back in cuts)

T-Rex lives matter. If Trump keeps sic’ing the schutzstaffel on them, they’ll end up becoming extinct

I suspect most people, myself included, would agree to that. One problem with that though.... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jq63edv21o "They – and Netanyahu – have been implacably opposed to any role for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, and any pathway to a Palestinian State. The deal Netanyahu has now agreed to outlines both, though with heavy caveats." Nothing new there, Netanyahu and his like minded members of the government have always been militantly opposed to even the idea of a Palestinian state.

The biggest problem, imho, is that two key players Hamas and Netanyahu have nothing to gain from peace. On the contrary, for both, their continued existence and holding on to power requires a perpetual state of war

Closing the thread, not because of some funny community banter, a bit of fun is always good, but it sadly seems to attract spam bots like a magnet

@BruceVC I don’t think Trumps ambitions are relying on getting elected for life, just on being able to seize power for life. Those tiny cogwheels inside his head trying to assess whether or not his interior police/national guard goons will help him do away with the pesky election process or whether the regular army will oppose it (I get the impression that US veterans are not fond of him) edit he has repeatedly shown little interest in following rules other than when it benefits him. Insurrection, hello?

Now that this Reinhard Heydrich Charlie Kirk fellow ended up dead, the decree that "...all LGBT members in the Reich six years of age or older were to wear a badge which consisted of a colorful rainbow..." may be postponed, possibly indefinitely?

I'm still at episode 11... now I'm not sure I want to watch episode 12 Besides Dandadan season 2, I think I mentioned I started watching Secrets of the Silent Witch. A show that is about as 180 degrees opposite from Dandadan as you can get, but who cares? I enjoy it

It’s interesting how Mads Mikkelsens career evolved. Professional dancer that in his home country used to be known for his comedic roles in The Green Butchers and Adams Apples (the latter together with In China they eat Dogs bring my two favourite Danish movies)

Looks like you found thd place already, it’s a very old game, so quite some ways down the list leaving a link to the section here just in case other people see your post and wonder if such a thing exist https://forums.obsidian.net/forum/18-star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii-the-sith-lords/

Sadly I wasn't home in Brisbane to experience the Riverfire 2025 festival. I hope I'll be there for the 2026 festival though! The airshow is only part of it, the fireworks at night is probably only outdone by the Sydney Harbour New Years fireworks edit: I've seen clips from previous years posted elsewhere and so many self proclaimed know it all are adamant it's fake and AI and nowhere in the world would something like this be allowed. Having been there and experienced it myself many times now, I'm like: Welcome to the real world, when reality literally overwhelms the mental capacity of some edit: a few short clips from above mentioned fireworks

War is one of the few things Europeans are truly passionate about. Never underestimate human stupidity

You can’t really lose a war if it’s still ongoing, can you?

Looks like a significant escalation could happen

I had to do an internet search to find out who Eugene Shoemaker was...

Apparently some Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten was butthurt over this. You can’t ask for better advertising when you’re Honest Government Ads Its pay walled and in Norwegian. Will check for an English transcript somewhere

Good question actually

From the Slaaneshi top of the pops... Edit: Added an entry from the Terran hitlist just for balance's sake

Honest Government Ads take on Norway...

Sounds like BioWare romances

Dandadan… I watched episode 9 and have by now given up trying to even attempt explain it For something slightly slower paced I started watching something called Secrets of the Silent witch. I’m only two episodes in but liking it so far

Lots of questions, there are just no simple answers to them. It was nice to see my family again after so many years. But I feel homesick for Queensland and have spoken to recruiting companies to get them to keep an eye out for opportunities. I hope to be able to return "home" after New Year (job market in QLD depending of course, it IS the backwater part of Australia) My Danish is Ok. Took a few months to get used to and I still get the grammar wrong with the off English word or sentence construct sneaking its way in. I did stay in touch with my family, first over MSN Messenger and later Skype regularly, keeping I my Danish skills current over the decades

I have no idea what legislation is around flag burning in Denmark, but it probably violates some kind of fire safety regulation edit: Danes regularly offends anyone and anything, especially ourselves

South Africa dropped nuclear weapons program in the 90’s but still worked closely with Israel on the development (and allegedly supplying Israel with the uranium for their nukes)

Yeah, no less than three companies sharing the 90%? That sounds like an actual market economy. Australia has been a duopoly for the powers that be knows how many years. The Coles/Woolworth cartel dictating prices (but customer and supplier prices)
