My local EB Games is an all-women store. It's a great place to shop. This really sucks
I'm not surprised a physical-media games store is struggling, kinda amazing they outlasted the chain record stores and video stores
Still, awful to see more people thrown out of work right now

Tell him after you sign the divorce papers
This Christmas I've cooked, cleaned and run around after our entire extended family. My other half has done fuck all, except sit and complete a very tricky 1000 piece jigsaw. Unfortunately when they get to the end, they'll find it's now a 999 piece jigsaw. I ate a piece in spite

This will be a serious news discussion for the next month, as will the price of school uniforms, as if we don't hear about them every year
I think AoNZ needs to move its summer holidays 4 - 6 weeks later than they currently are.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Any takers on the New Zealand situation? Any journos asked the Chief Censor?
Not even the prompts. If you are a Twitter user in the UK and Twitter sticks a Grok CSAM image in your feed for WHATEVER reason, well congrats your device just downloaded child porn. And you are legally responsible for that.
Even if nobody wants to take action against Musk for building a CSAM generator, there are people using it who are based in the UK and those prompts are absolutely something that would get you on the sex offender's register. Absolutely no justification not to try to identify and prosecute users.

Maybe the ransomers should be running the health sites, they seem to be quite capable
People are having more luck communicating with the ransomers than they are with ManageMyHealth.

I have a boss like this. Constantly contacting me on says I am rostered off. Almost every day I have off, she is there, expecting me to work for free.

Why bother making up conspiracy theories when reality has so much going on?
A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Probably not. American leaders are out there violating laws, violating children, all in a day's work.
When has an American Congress ever stopped the president from committing war crimes? That is a genuine question, by the way. It would be nice to have some sort of example. If it has ever happened.

"What are we supposed to do, arrest him again?" shrugs top cop over serial criminal's latest crimes.
“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”
Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.
