>>737474175Thinking along those lines will backfire, badly. Anon, if a game cannot be sold because it is morally objected to by one loud group, then any other loud group can then claim their own grievance in the same way following the same steps. The only means to stop said behavior is if no grievance is justification.Almost as if this has all been hashed out before in analogue. As if it were because Steam is not the first marketplace, wherein regulatory bodies begin to pile on top of each other ultimately stifling trade with more and more inane rules with the end result being the destruction of the venue. I wonder why though? As if there was a source for such repeated behavior and obvious disregard to sense for the sake of temporary gain. Curious.

Obviously voting for literally who as your first preference isn't going to do much, but they do get gibs from the AEC if they get a certain amount of first preferences, and there have been caseswhere the third or fourth on first preferences wins the seat because everybody else's preferences flows to them instead of the frontrunners, it happened pretty recently in SA.

as a small footnote, SPLC was recently caught funding right-wing groups to 'spread hate'.https://archive.ph/t6NJeNo doubt jews will try and false flag some "hate groups" on Steam to validate their demands to shut down any criticism of woke games.Really makes you notice.

Absent that, it's whoever finds himself (or, God forbid, herself) at the top who then acts in exactly the same way, while democratic sycophants all panic and try to pretend it's not the case.
>>737478192They aren't Democratic nations if they are Constitutional Republics which means they follow processes, checks and balances as well as limited voting power. "Democratic Values" (Mainly encoded in First Amendment, property rights, self defense and right to a speedy trial and fair criminal court as well as proper treatment in prisons;) were never covered under Democracies but under United States Republican model. Democratic these days means Socialist.
>>737478346>they follow processes, checks and balances as well as limited voting powerAll of which can be violated by whoever makes the decision not to enforce.
>>737473971They're just embracing their heritage as a Prison Colony, by treating the populace as inmates.

Oh, what a predicament, one act of "treason" was overlooked by several executive roles who happened to benefit from it, but the guy who brought it to the public's attention as an act of treason was himself tried and found guilty of treason. In case you're lost, this is a hypothetical scenario; your ability to comprehend those, or lack there of, will determine whether or not I reply to you with any seriousness.>>737478591>None of these are monarchiesAll of them influenced by that Anti-Imperial Empire I mentioned earlier, with the Monarchies that do exist still being stable in their position of being Monarchies.
>>737478647Stop crying. Democracy is mob rule by the Jews. Read history, read the fucking constitutions.

>>737478782Sorry bud you're just not very good at arguing your point. If monarchy was good we would see powerful monarchies. If communism was good we would see powerful communist states. They are weaker systems than democracies.
>>737478753>NOO YOU ARE ON OUR SIDE IF.Democrats trying to steal thunder from Republican systems is as fraudulent as learning centers claiming to not be scams. I reject any notion of a "Democratic Nation" that decides its people are worthless, replaceable by notes and its destiny decided by illegal migration: therefore I can't be a Democrat because I oppose mob rule as much as the old Republicans did who fought against foreign imperialism.
>>737465991Anyone who is the enemy of the current government.They're so fucking transparent about this shit. We just had a couple of radical muslims do a mass shooting against jews in Australia. The government immediately moved to pass speech regulations so that "this never happens again" except those speech regulations are incredibly broad and also grant a blanket exception to "religious extremism" so basically this new law that is ostensibly about stopping radical muslim hate speech actually just prevents criticism of the government while providing a specific exemption for the thing it is supposed to be stopping.

>>737469571the Australians just want there to be refunds when the product is defective. Steam already did do that but didn't write that in the Steam user agreement.

>>737480460>Steam already did do that but didn't write that in the Steam user agreement.No, they didn't. It was practically impossible to get a refund out of Steam. Their default action to all requests was refuse the request.
>>737478909
>>737480572The law literally makes it a crime to even just be friends with someone who has violated speech regulations. It's probably one of the most egregious speech laws ever to be enacted in the western world.
>>737480564They did give refunds, If you had a valid complaint, i.e. game not working or false information on the store page.t. got a refund before refunds

>>737465921Blame the voters of this country for putting a red in charge as to why the government is looking for a right wing boogeyman everywhere. The worst that happens in America is they take over mayor offices in New York.
>>737480784>You can't get a refund on a car either if the starter is defective. The seller has the right to repair it.And Valve wasn't interested in repairing. They just offered very basic troubleshooting steps, i.e. update drivers, etc., and when that didn't work just offloaded it to the publisher and said "No refunds. It's their game. Seek assistance from them." That's not legal.

But it was never the older generation of Australians. Albo was apart the hard left faction back in the 80s/90s and was seen as radical in those days. To the equivalent of how the greens are seen now. His faction is seen as the 'moderate' now when historically it was not.

Price of houses naturally falls when, instead of 2 people competing for 1 house and outbidding each other, you have 2 house sellers dropping their price to compete for 1 buyer.This is economics 101.Australia's native born population is falling every year. We build 200,000 homes every year. So you would think we would end up with 200,000 empty homes with sellers dropping their prices to compete for buyers.The sole reason we don't have a huge surplus of houses, and therefore cheap housing, is immigration. Labor imported net 400,000 people into Australia in 2025, more than filling all available housing supply, which is why housing is so expensive.One Nation and Sustainable Australia Party want to massively drop immigration, which will reduce house prices and rents as described above.
>>737482374That convenient cut in the webm is omitting the part where the judge talks about his active attempts to organize people into forming a group and committing acts of violence against immigrants.Now I'm not going to defend a kingdom that arrested a woman for silently praying in her head but this particular horse is probably not one you want to back.

>>737483157>into an authoritarian shithole.I'd closer define it as verging on the early stages of a totalitarian dystopia seen out of an Orwell novel at times because Albo tried establishing a ministry of truth at one stage which kind of gave Xi Jinping a run for his money about China's model in running a country. The bill didn't pass I'm pretty sure, but the precedent of it was there.The idea to deem anything that is outside the governments view as disinformation. There are real uses to laws that combat intentional misinformation but their definition of it was so absurd and one sided to define just anything they disagreed with rather than if its about targeting misinfo from intelligence agencies out of hostile foreign nations (ie. China, Russia, Iran etc).I can't ever claim that it's at the level of China because I'm still in a position to speak my mind without the government kicking down my door but i wouldn't put it past him to set up the conditions for a future 1984.

>>737483837Annually. Why would you risk being person #86 to die in a helmetless bike incident just to avoid the extremely minor inconvenience of wearing a helmet?
>>737483597I believe it. I hear the UK is slipping down that slope as well.Here in the US, we also had an attempt, in the last administration, at creating a ministry of truth and it was swiftly mocked into oblivion... but the desire is still there. It worries me. The push will continue until we relent, now with the help of AI fabrications causing fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
>>737483908Sticking it to authoritarian governments always comes with personal risk. It is worth it to prevent society turning into a tyrannical dystopia.
>>737483908BECAUSE HELMETS ARE FOR DUMB KEKS!!!!!! IF I DIE I DIE THAT IS WHAT GOD INTENDED YOU DUMB KEK!!!!!!!!!
>>737483941Trump calls his propaganda mouthpiece Truth Social and leans on TV companies to shut down late night talk show hosts for criticising him, that would be the one I'd worry about.
I literally could not care less if valve either blocks or snitches on /pol/ posting on steam.Im there for video games.
>>737483941the UK has already slipped into that, they arrest people for facebook posts in bongland.>>737484034my brother in Christ wearing a helmet isn't the end of the world.
>>737484063Do not attempt to speak reason to a MAGGOT.
>>737465991Oy that's question is antisemitic
>>737465991Ethno communists.>no immigration!>I want more welfare!They are in reality, left wing.The far right, people who want to put the economy first at the expense of all else are our governments. They rule the west.
>>737484063>and leans on TV companies to shut down late night talk show hosts for criticising himHe never did this.Stephen Colbert is literally delusional. He thinks there's a grand conspiracy against him headed by Trump when the reality is he's just nowhere near as popular as he believes he is. They made it quite clear he's axed because he's just losing the company enormous amounts of money.
>>737483295Propose a solution instead.In UK they are raping children, threatening kids in schools to not draw anything that could be considered blasfemic, and they are even doing anti-dog propaganda while spreading poison in parks to kill them (together with the wildlife).They are going after out kids, after our dogs, and after our liberty. These browns are never accountable of anything.This is what happens almost always with non-european immigrants in any Western society. They commit 7 times more crimes, are violent, have never studied, increase housing costs, waste taxes, decrease salary for some jobs, and the left constantly caters to them for their vote in order to keep this self-feeding cycle.Propose a solution.
>>737484063The late night TV show host got stood down for lying about a terrorist attack and refusing to walk it back. He was back on the air when he agreed to denounce his own lies in a non apology.
>>737484034You realise that image is a joke right? It isn't real. Second time it's been posted in this thread. Look it up.If you want to stick it to authoritarian governments, not wearing a helmet and maybe eating shit on the pavement and becoming a vegetable is the dumbest way of doing it. Maybe take a stance on something actually worthwhile, like a Bill of Rights or freedom of speech laws.
>>737465921Australia was how we got that universal 2 hour refund thing, which is fucking great actually
>>737484063starmer and trump are two sides of the same authoritian coin when push comes to shove.so long as the corporate investors get money morality means jack shit, just look at disney they flip-flop on supporting things whenever it suits them.
>>737480698"I didnt like it" will get you a full refund.
>>737484098>my brother in Christ wearing a helmet isn't the end of the world.In my state, there's no helmet or seat belt laws (for adults). I wear a helmet when I bike and a seat belt when I drive regardless, but it's nice to know I'm not forced to. I don't need the government telling me what to do, matters of personal safety should be up to the individual.
>>737475101I don't have to verify shit.

>>737484317Thanks
>>737484227We're talking about before Valve had a formal refund policy.Before then they would fight you tooth and nail to give you any refund even when you had a legitimate issue. "I didn't like it" would just get you a "lol fuck off".
>>737483908A lot of things you do on a day-to-day basis comes with inherent risks.Any time you get into a car you increase your risk of dying.You could trip and fall on the side-walk, yet there's no mandatory helmet required for just walking. Curious.>wuts your pointThe point being that nanny-laws like this need to go fuck themselves.If people want to wear a helmet. Fine, but don't fucking force it you pansies.
>>737484339YOU'RE WELCOME ANON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>737484294>extreme leftUseless addition; they've been defined by their extremity and tendencies towards terrorism for centuries.

>>737484376CURIOUS INDEED!!! I THINK WE SHOULD NORMALIZE WEARING HELMETS AT ALL HOURS! YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL FALL OUT OF BED OR SLIP HEAD FIRST INTO A TOILET BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>737465921>people criticize the Money Nose tribe for being greedy and unsavory>the Money Nose tribe begins demanding payment and capitulationthey have always fueled their own pyres of which they are rightfully burned uponnasty creatures
>>737482374Oh and the "priority" they mention is welfare. Handouts.Ethno communists. As much the enemy of any good person as our governments are. We are caught in the middle of these lunatics.
>>737484250>I wear a helmet when I bike and a seat belt when I drive regardless, but it's nice to know I'm not forced to. I don't need the government telling me what to do, matters of personal safety should be up to the individual.Maybe this is a stance I enjoy Australian free healthcare too much to understand.In my country pretty much any major injury, your hospital stay gets paid for by the government. You don't have to worry. You don't go bankrupt because someone blacked out in traffic and crashed their car into yours. I've personally benefited from this system multiple times.On the flipside, we also prevent grown adults from taking objectively stupid risks for non-existent benefits, so they don't clog up the Medicare system because they didn't wear a seatbelt, crashed, went flying into a crowd through the windshield and took out passersby.You're allowed to drink alcohol for example, because although it's risky, there's a clear benefit to offset the risk.Not wearing a seatbelt or helmet has basically no benefit. It has a small, but potentially fatal risk.So if it's a cost to society, and a cost to the individual for no benefit, and this retard who decided to exercise their right to do something objectively dumb went and raised my taxes by using up Medicare, why should it be legal?
>>737484452Elbow/Knee-protectors too!In fact, outlaw going outside when it's raining. Slippery surfaces are DANGEROUS.Oi oi got a loicense for that walking while raining?Oi oi are thems propa loicensed safety-shoes for walking downhill?
I love Australia so much it's unreal.t. non-australian
>>737484514>You're allowed to drink alcohol for example, because although it's risky, there's a clear benefit to offset the risk.What exactly is the benefit of drinking alcohol?
>>737484514>In my country pretty much any major injury, your hospital stay gets paid for by the tax payer.ftfy>On the flipside, we also prevent grown adults from taking objectively stupid risks for non-existent benefits, so they don't clog up the Medicare system because they didn't wear a seatbelt, crashed, went flying into a crowd through the windshield and took out passersby.That stuff is not motivated by reducing costs to the healthcare system. People dying of head trauma is much cheaper for the health care system than keeping them alive and treating them for their injuries. You're completely and utterly wrong with this characterization as to the logic behind it.
>>737484538>In fact, outlaw going outside when it's raining. Slippery surfaces are DANGEROUS.Melbourne CBD has really smooth pavement for some reason and some fairly steep hills. Whenever it rains I see dozens of people slipping on their ass.
>>737484376>Any time you get into a car you increase your risk of dyingYeah, which is why we have seatbelts?>You could trip and fall on the side-walk, yet there's no mandatory helmet required for just walkingHow many trip and fall while walking normally deaths are there yearly?Riding a wheeled, inherently wobbly bike that can top 35km/h is a lot riskier than jogging on your legs at 4-6km/h.>The point being that nanny-laws like this need to go fuck themselves.When something has statistically significant risk (like 85 people dying per year from riding bikes helmetless) and no reward, nanny state laws are acceptable.When something has statistically significant risk but a reward to match, nanny state laws are unacceptable.When something has statistically insignificant risk and no reward, nanny state laws are unacceptable.Do you think airplane safety laws are "nanny state"? Should airplane companies be allowed to make unsafe planes?
>>737484597Was this question asked in good faith? It relaxes social anxiety and makes people act more like themselves, it acts as a relaxing depressant or sleep aid for some, and it tastes good to some people.Now tell me all the benefits of not wearing a bike helmet.
>>737465921Nothing? If it's illegal in australia and they know it's an australian steam user they're free to pursue it themselves, but it's not illegal in the US to say things like I don't like my government.
>>737484865>>Now tell me all the benefits of not wearing a bike helmet.It feels like this question is a litmus test of some sort. The benefit is to exercise my free will. To let me decide if wearing a helmet is necessary or not.
>>737484776It's mindsets like these that will introduce face-cams in cars to constantly remind you to keep your eyes on the road.It's mindsets like these that will introduce an alcohol-detector that you need to blow in before the car will start.You yourself understands the concept, yet you for some reason consider wearing a helmet a non-nanny law.Odd.>>737484865The benefit of not wearing a helmet is that you don't have to lug that stupid thing around with you everywhere you go. It's cumbersome, uncomfortable (especially in summer - well actually also in winter because now you have to fit your hood under it as well).You are acting on a premise of "the few ruins it for the many", well the same can be said for alcohol. There are people getting addicted to alcohol. Alcohol makes people violent and impulsive. Alcohol is usually involved in many many accidents, some fatal.Following your logic, we should ban it all-together.
>>737484649>ftfySure, I'll agree with that. In fact I literally said that at the end.And as a taxpayer, I enjoy Medicare, but I don't want idiots raising my taxes by taking stupid risks with literally zero benefit then abusing Medicare.Forcing them to wear helmets >People dying of head trauma is much cheaper for the health care system than keeping them alive and treating them for their injuries. It takes 18 years of state funded education to create a healthy, educated worker. Letting 18 years' worth of tax investment be wasted because some retarded 18yo decided not to wear a helmet and died instantly... Is retarded.More importantly, there's also all the people who come off their bike without a helmet and do survive, but require months of medical treatment and/or become a permanent vegetable.https://youtube.com/shorts/BKU7HU0SoqMWhy do you so badly want to become a vegetable, anon?
>>737484407In the case of Albo. Yeah it's really useless when he defines anything anything as "extreme right".
The establishment is desperately trying to create a new Hitler. They’re calling everyone Hitler in the hope that some young person will take it seriously enough to become the next one.
>>737484980Me punching you in the head would also be me exercising my free will.Free will ends at the point where it affects others.As stated, in my country, healthcare is free, which is fantastic. You don't have to pay money for visiting a doctor for a severe injury.But if you take action which puts yourself at high risk of a severe injury for no good reason (abusing the free healthcare system), then you have to pay a financial penalty. A small fraction of the cost to society and the taxpayer if you had to be treated for a traumatic brain injury for months.Technically you are still free to not wear a bike helmet. Do it repeatedly if you want. If the cops catch you, they'll make you pay a small amount of the cost of your brain surgery in advance. If you get enough fines, you might have spent enough to pay for the cost of brain surgery that would have been free if you accidentally injured yourself instead of through retardation.If you want to live in a country where you can do whatever the fuck you want regardless of the cost to yourself or others, maybe try somewhere in Africa.
>>737484776NTA, but I feel I must interject to diagnose you with mental retardation. The anti-nanny state sentiment is predominantly about personal autonomy: bicycles, and their helmets are typically only concerning an individual; whereas airplanes are...You can try and throw out some bullshit "muh burden on the health system" angle, but we all already know it's exactly that -- bullshit, so I wouldn't bother. I prescribe you a leap off a bridge -- but don't forget your helmet!
>>737465991Anything that allows free speech.
>>737485308>Free will ends at the point where it affects others.No it doesn't dumbass.You can't use the "My rights ends where yours begin" when pertaining to free will. How brown are you lmao.
>>737465991just an excuse.
>>737465991free speech
>>737485087So, I'm guessing you took the vax?
>>737485391>The anti-nanny state sentiment is predominantly about personal autonomy: bicycles, and their helmets are typically only concerning an individual; whereas airplanes are...Good point anon!
>>737485048>It's mindsets like these that will introduce face-cams in cars to constantly remind you to keep your eyes on the roadNot a likely scenario, that tech is already being used to make automatic stopping instead, making that unnecessary.If it actually happened I would be right there complaining with you, because the annoyance of a machine constantly beeping at you and the risk of surveillance to society would outweigh the marginal driver safety benefits.>The benefit of not wearing a helmet is that you don't have to lug that stupid thing around with you everywhere you go.Nigger you're riding a BIKE. It fucking carries YOU. When you stop riding the bike you put the helmet on the handlebars. You don't have to lug shit.>well actually also in winter because now you have to fit your hood under it as well).Have worn helmets over hood in winter and it's never once been an issue. Literally loosen the fucking straps lmao.>Following your logic, we should ban it all-together.My logic has already been stated. That isn't my logic. Here it is again:>Significant risk to yourself and cost to others, and no reward - Fine for the government to ban.>Significant risk to yourself and cost to others, but significant reward - Government should not ban.>Negligible risk to yourself and others, but negligible reward - Government should not ban.
>>737465921Why do leftist extremists always get a pass when they are the more violent ones and even regular leftists celebrate violence against anyone not in their cult?
>>737485580>Not a likely scenarioLmaoYou're ignorant of the world.Or maybe it's because you don't own a car.>you put the helmet on the handlebars. You don't have to lug shit.More ignorance.Don't you lock your bike?>what does that have to do with anything??I'll let you figure that out yourself.>muh logicThere is none. You decide what is significant and what isn't, that's abstraction. We're not in agreement of what is significant or insignificant.Dumb egghead.
>>737485445Your rights end where my property line begins. Has been like that for centuries. Why change a system that is idiot proof and naturally weeds out the trash?
>>737485481>Losing argument so badly, you have to try and broaden the debate outside its original scope to poison the wellYes, I weighed up the costs/benefits and took the jab. I'd had the coof (twice) and hated it, I had seen people get the jab and been fine, and I personally knew 2 people who didn't get the jab and died of the coof.Four years on, still completely healthy, as is everyone else I know that got it. And I never got the coof again after that.Are you now going to tell me that I'm going to drop dead THIS year?>This is really anon's best argument for not wearing bike helmets
>>737485767>Yes, I weighed up the costs/benefits and took the jab.stopped reading here, lol
Not to be a status-quo, but my take is unironically, that extremes are typically not very good actually. No matter the kind. That's why they're extreme.
>>737485754>now he's talking about rightsHoly brown.
>>737485767You're not an individual, you're an automaton, controlled by your government like a puppet. Your only mission is to assimilate more individuals into the government's collective.
>>737485767Are you the number one predictor in the world?Were you accidently wrong while the rest of us were accidently right?
>>737465921Ok, and what is Australia doing to combat extreme left communities then?
>>737485797Very cool anon, but what is extremism? Can you define it?
>>737465921America needs to make white flight from australia,Canada,uk as painless as possible. Give them straight up refugee status
Right-wingers are doing what now in Australia?
>>737482824Far left: >we want to mind rape your children Far right:>we’ll kill the leftist rapists and make the world safe
>>737486098>Far left:>>we want to mind rape your childrenIs that why we banned social media for under 16s?
>>737486135No it's why faggotry is part of the curriculum in schools.
>>737486159Be specific
>>737485676>Why do leftist extremists always get a pass
>>737485445>No it doesn't dumbass. Free will does not end legally when it starts negatively impacting someone else.OK, go into the street in any Western country and start screaming at someone that they're a retarded cunt. Follow them around. Wait for the cops to show up and keep doing it. See how that goes for you.>>737485391>You can try and throw out some bullshit "muh burden on the health system" angle, but we all already know it's exactly that -- bullshitI have already said it multiple times, it's one of my core arguments.If you genuinely think that someone getting an avoidable traumatic brain injury has no negative impact on the public health system whatsoever, then I don't think you're going to convince anyone, so there's no point in arguing it with you.>>737485702I own both car and bike, use both extensively. Seatbelt and helmet, and neither have ever caused me any issues.>Don't you lock your bike?So put your bike chain through your helmet. Have you literally never owned a helmet? Are you too poor?>There is noneThe last argument of a man with no argument.>We're not in agreement of what is significant or insignificant.Cool. In democracies this then comes down to majority opinion. In the 80s in Australia the vast majority were in favour of helmet laws which is why they were passed; the majority still are today.
>>737472106That's antisemitism. It might be illegal so you should delete that. Just a friendly advice from a fellow anonymous ;)
>>737480784>has obviously never owned a car

Hey dumbfuck, that while tranny thing being shoved down everyone's throats globally, including down children's throats, is a valid reason to want to kill you.
>>737486363Be specific
>>737485794Thanks for conceding.>>737485854I routinely criticize my own government such as here >>737482673.>>737485904It's spelled "accidentally" ESL-kun. Yes, I predicted correctly. I haven't died from the jab, despite the fags on here who kept insisting I would keel over any day now in 2023.These same fags are incapable of putting together a logically coherent argument, which is why they had to shift the discussion to vax, to also make themselves look retarded there too.
>>737486195>literal faggotry being taught in schools>hurr be specificYou fags are so funny. You think you can just feign ignorance and this will somehow win you the argument or whatever.
>>737486326I use my free will to make decisions that increase my own personal happiness, such as benefiting from free healthcare while legally preventing idiots from increasing my taxes by taking totally unnecessary risks for no benefit.
>>737486464come on lil' anon, you can do it! just give some examples and everything will be ok!
>>737486274>So put your bike chain through your helmet>come back later and helmet is soaked because rain and/or dog/abbo pissed on itYay?
>>737486464
>>737483378Imagine defending YouTube because you don’t want to turn Javascript on. Stop defending the corporate interests.

>>737486568This meme is hilarious because it implies rightoids are incapable of communicating their arguments>NOOOOO WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING MY IMAGINATION IS ALWAYS CORRECT
>>737486632>rightoids are incapable of communicating their argumentsWhen (You) act like a brick wall built on 250 years of oikophobic subversion, yes.
>>737486687Have you ever considered that your opponents aren't pretending and they actually don't understand you because you don't actually include any arguments or evidence when you speak?
>>737486543Helmets are made out of waterproof styrofoam and a plastic shell. The water rolls right off. At worst you might get lightly damp if you leave it upside down and the small strips of black foam get wet (which you can wring out). Plenty of easy ways to solve this like wearing a rainhood under helmet (which you probably want if you're riding during rain).In all the times I've ridden my bike and worn a helmet, I have never once had it pissed on by a dog or abbo. I did come off my bike once over the handlebars when a friend accidentally pushed the front brake, luckily didn't hit my head, but if I had the helmet would have been very handy.
>>737486775Have you ever considered that this strategy of yours don't work anymore?Feigning ignorance of the world doesn't work. People don't engage with you because they know your playbook.>It's not happening!>okay it is happening but it's a good thing!You're over here pretending the only thing that happened with fag-marriage was that fags got married.
