So be authentic to the universe. Be authentic to the lore. Nobody knows what ‘authentically American’ will look like in fifty plus years. And it’s still a fictitious city. There is no need for details to conform with any particular city of today, American or not.

I don’t need a game that’s set in a fictional future and world to be ‘authentically American’.

I would remind you that Aukus is a mess of the Coalition’s making - after they made a mess of the original submarine replacement project under Abbott and Turnbull, insisting on Diesel.

But for Labor to withdraw from Aukus would cause a shitstorm of unseen proportions.

To run a debate with Trump and without live fact checking was just plain stupid. You know he’s just going to run his rehearsed talking points without so much as trying to answer even mildly uncomfortable questions. They not only let him get away with serial lying, they basically laid the groundwork so he could get away with it.

Fact checks after the fact never reach the people that need to see them.

To this day I don’t know what problem smart locks are supposed to solve that hasn’t already been solved by the good old lock and key combo. Requires no electricity, no internet, just works.

That means they’re not for your ears. Not that they’re designed to inflict pain. I’ve had those AirPods, they were fine for me - and my ears don’t like most earbuds that get shoved in there, and sometimes even start hurting from over-ear headphones. I now have the Airpod Pros and they’re even better, all that goes into your ear is the silicone bud, no rigid plastic in the mix.

Lots of very roundabout ‘the game isn’t difficult, you just need to get good at it’ replies in this thread, trying hard not to say the quiet part out loud…

That’s the thing. Apple has that track record already. This years iOS update will be available for phones released as far back as 2017. And that’s not a recent development - 4+ years have been the norm with iOS devices for a long time, while many Android phones have suffered from much faster obsolescence.

Google have yet to prove that they can fulfill this promise.

I’ll touch base with you in 7 years to see how that’s going.

Does your Android phone get 5+ years of software support?

My in-laws brought me back a pack of 4 different craft beers from a trip recently. I can’t drink and enjoy them - way too hoppy. Even the Pilsner - and I like a good Pilsner - was not enjoyable at all. The one that’s left is the dark beer - going to be an expensive dirty Diesel one day.

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. If legal and moral standard of society are dominated by the tenets of one religion, that’s not freedom of religion.

You can have your faith, so long as you stop forcing it down other people’s throats.

Als in Australien lebender Deutscher kostet mich ein Passantrag über mein verantwortliches Konsulat satte 180 Euro…

Es ist immer das gleiche dumme Geschwalle, als ob noch nie jemand das versucht hätte, was Lindner hier als so tolle neue Idee vorschlägt.

I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You’re the one who started calling me names, so don’t lecture me on twisted knickers.

Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.

Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.

I’m off by one, you’re off by one - shall we split the difference and I’ll overlook that even being merely technically correct I’m still closer than you, who’s both technically and objectively incorrect?

C’mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.
