  • And how many of these comedians hold their tongue regarding religion and people of power when performing in their home country? Or when touring internationally on non-state-funded tours?

    Don’t take my opinion of these comedians as anti-Saudi. I was plenty anti-Saudi before this. If these ‘comedians’ agreed to take money from the US president to not make mean jokes about him, I’d be just as disgusted at their lack of spine.

  • Not the same scenario. The equivalent would be these comedians doing a set that was paid for by the White House, with a list of restrictions on what could be said. Which would receive just as much backlash

  • We already know that isn’t going to happen though. The smug raisin was impeached twice, has raped children with Epstein, and is currently declaring LGBT+ and their allies as terrorists. If those things weren’t enough to have him locked away, what will be?

    I honestly think the most justice we could hope to see would be his bloated, festering body finally giving out on him on national television. But I doubt his retinue will give us that joy.

  • I don’t think this is an image that you could view openly in a regular workplace, even if there is no dick and balls in the image. It’s a raunchy screenshot from a porno.

  • If my representative was using a robot to decide how to promote their ideas, I’d be pissed.

    These people were elected to represent the people based (presumably) on their own words and opinions. If they can’t muster the energy to support their constituents themselves, without relying on a robot to spew up generic bile, then they should step down and let someone who cares do it.

  • Ah, these images have been a staple in tourist gift shops for decades! Fridge magnets. Tea Towels that are for looking at, not for using. Stubby holders. Keyrings.

    THIS is Australian culture.

  • To be fair, I am almost certain that Pete here doesn’t actually know what happened at Wounded Knee. He knows there was a ‘battle’, and that there were ‘Injuns’ involved. Probably was that some patriotic Americans defended themselves against the savage natives, like in the cowboy movies! Those cowboys deserve their medals!

    Of course, now that the US secretary of defence has tweeted his ignorance on a social media platform, there is no taking it back, or apologising for his misunderstanding. He can only double down and defend a massacre.

  • So because we can’t immediately fix our world, we should abandon all hopes and dreams of a better future?

    If people want to envision a future for mankind that is a bit farfetched, what’s the harm? Let it inspire people to make the world a better place. Better than being a cynical prick who scoffs at any sort of positive ideology.

  • And this comment is why women often do not go topless, even if the laws in a country allow it.

  • “Well intending people”?

    No one that went to those marches was ‘well intentioned’. The people who went to these marches didn’t go because of any reason based in fact. They went because things are shit for the middle and lower class, but it’s easier to blame foreigners than to hold corporations and the rich to account. The people who marched are doughy brained racists, who were stupid enough to go to a rally that fascists attended, and then cheer them on.

    Immigration numbers have been on the decline for the last 18 months after the expected post-Covid jump. This is coming from the Australian Bureau of Staristics: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/national-state-and-territory-population/mar-2025 Immigration is a boost to our economy, and restrictions on the type of workers who are immigrating already exist to boost the workforces that white Australians are leaving fallow.

    My aunt went to the local march. My aunt who is married to my uncle, the first generation immigrant. But he obviously doesn’t count because he was born in Ireland. The fascists may have put some things in her head that day, but she went to the march of her own volition.

  • without direct human interference.

    climate change is the likely culprit.

    Sure glad we humans didn’t do a climate change or anything.

  • War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?

    Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.

  • I can see the train of thought that these dunderheads would have. “We arrested you because we thought you were the shooter. You weren’t, and because we arrested you, we let the real shooter get away. This is your fault.”

  • This is somehow worse than I imagined. This looks like the sort of coded calling card a serial killer who dismembers women would leave at the scene of his crimes.

  • The next time I found him after unlocking the needolin, I rushed around to earn enough silk to play with him as long as possible.

  • Can I enquire how 15,000,000 copies sold was down to luck? They released a solid game with fun gameplay, great music, and an eye-catching art style. They priced the game competitively, even considering international pricing. All of this seems like choices that were made with intention, not the roll of a dice.

    You could perhaps argue that there was luck in people seeing the games initial campaign on kickstarter, but I don’t think you can excuse the rest as ‘luck’.

  • I love the devs previous game, Another Crab’s Treasure, for its tough but fair gameplay, and really well implemented progression. I was a little disappointed to discover that Peak leans more into the multiplayer, emergent gameplay, “eternal beta” feel of many indie games today. The concept seems fun, and it can apparently be played solo, but all of the gameplay footage I have seen from non-devs is people screaming frantically at each other about some new feature while nothing happens.

    I might be a hypocrite though, because I am interested in the upcoming game Big Walk from House House.

  • I think, in western media at least, that the tank is rarely used as an image of defence. A tank’s artillery is not personal or protective, it obliterates its targets from a distance. Its treads allow it to travel in terrain that has been decimated by war. The image of a tank ominously rolling over rubble and bodies in a war zone is contractually obliged to be in every war movie.

    The heavy armour on a tank is perhaps its only ‘defensive’ trait, but it only exists to let the men inside blow things up for as long as possible.

    It’s an all terrain cannon, and a country owning a fleet of them requires their neighbours to also invest in a fleet of them, just in case. This then causes their neighbours to invest in more tanks just to be extra ‘safe’
