  • Yeah, even look at Sony. Recent franchises include a genetically modified clone orphan living in a land of sentient machines with vivid colours.

    A father daughter love story told in the time of a zombie apocalypse. (Recent is doing a lot of lifting, lol,)

    A samurai warrior, believed dead in a beautiful version of Japan, who sues the wind for direction. Here it's more the art direction.

    Older hits, instead of using cars, used floating race pods. Some told stories using forward and back through time to allow a player and their inner soul/ghost explore areas differently. Others has you play as a set of androids staring to become sentient and making decisions for or against their programming, for their or others benefit.

    The quirkiness has always been there. There is also lots of generic stuff and copied stuff. Wherever art and business collide, that's always the case.

  • While that's true, as much as I don't care when somebody loses their virginity, if someone has not lost their virginity by a reasonable age, I start to assume they are either overly religious, or socially stunted in some way.

    It's not so much the virginity as not having had an opportunity nor wanting to. There are obviously exceptions, like ace people or those with a history of abuse etc. Like other posters said, it's more high schoolm thing to care about the age in years. I'm more thinking in decades.

  • Those 2 small states are where most of the people live though.

    And within those states, most live in the main city. Even more if you count the commuter cities.

    Also points for both snow and heat in different parts.

  • He already has, up to this point. In fact, big parts of the party tried to support his competition. They failed. He's another in AOC mould. He may be good or great but there is an increasing trickle of progressive candidates.

    The more that win by being good the more that can win without being so good. He may not be the Dems saviour but he's a step in the right direction and a worrying sign for Republicans and establishment politicians.

  • No, I'm pointing out, again, about the reduction of votes they got. They are the only party with the potential for seats to support ending genocide. They had less votes and lost seats.

    I'm not saying it was their only issue but it clearly wasn't an important issue for Australians based on that.

    If it was important to Australians, more would have voted for the greens. Australians either didn't care or supported genocide instead.

    It's not like the USA where it was a hold your nose situation. We have preferential voting. If people cared about other issues, they could still preference the greens for their genocide stance, of they deemed it important. they did not.

  • Yes, based on many. However, that implies that people don't care about the genocide, which is what ive repeatedly said.

    If you want to be more precise, they cared about everything else more, which is a different way of saying they don't care about it.

  • Which is exactly why they should all be coming out against it. Take genocide money out of politics. Just like trump, with all republicans, the pressure to follow the singular narrative disappears when they all work together. It’s the point of having a party. Work together for the party good, not whomever lords over the party.

  • Irans response is pretty clever so far. Proportional and restrained, with warnings. I don’t doubt that’s more because they know the USA Israel wants a war and trump is foolish enough to be led into one. Of the repercussions were less and they matched equally, they’d have done more. I wonder if next is spread into Qatar, UAE and Saudi. All the regimes playing proxy wars are now having them come home to roost.

  • Yes, I agree, but they were still the only party that were opposed to genocide and nobody cared enough to vote for them.

    So whatever your views of the greens, the voters view of genocide was that it wasn't important.

  • Sticking to principles is the opposite of flip plop. I agree, they are not pragmatic, though. However, no other party with a chance at a seat was anti genocide. If they did the same or better, the argument could be made that aussies care. They did worse nationally. Aussies don’t care.

  • Yes, I'm not op either, but the point is that kids may live across 2 households. It is logical that they have access to digital goods in both. It is often not possible to be logged into 2 accounts on one device.

    It is a barrier that only some people face, which means their digital life costs them more in subscriptions and time compared to others. That is discrimination, in my book.

    As a parent of adopted kids, there are lots of barriers like this throughout modern life.
