[alarming news]Australia has banned video games for all under 18s
Australia is rapidly approaching the US in terms of political retardation. Imagine haing a government that hates video games this much.
this is all the UK's fault
>>747296903Australia and the UK are both police states, and their population is ok with this
>>747297895The entire planet is going to become a brutally oppressive police state. The world must become a dark, cold world that revolves around unrestrained cruelty and intentional unfairness. Only then can we bring about the ultimate triumph of evil.
>>747297895>Australia and the UK are both police statesWe have flock, palantir and police doing door knocks for criticising our greatest ally, israel. We're the biggest police state on the planet.
>>747296903Lets be honest here, if you own a pc you're over tthe age of 18, so who actually gives a fuck, use a credit card.poorfags.
>>747297470Our government is panicking about people talking shit about them online and this age verification bullshit is just a by product of that. We have a fucked up voting system. The current ruling party was voted in to a massive majority government with just 34.6% of the primary vote. Imagine a system where a party can form a majority government and push through whatever they want with no means of prevention from just 1/3 of the vote.
>>74729839050% of australians don't own a credit card
>>747298581they only have 1/3rd of the primary vote but that’s just because half their supporters put shit like the weed party first and then labor as like the 4th or 5th choice (but still the first choice that has an actual chance of winning so that’s who the vote goes to)
>>747296903idgaf, not austrailian (plus I'm White)
>>747297895We're not okay with it, but there's nothing we can do about it.
why does valve dicksuck visa mastercard so hard
This is actually just Gaben getting back at Australia for making him implement refunds
tick tock americans, this will be reaching your shores "soon"
>>747297895I remember australia was absurdly draconian during covid. will never go there. shame
>>747299080>n-noooooooo! why can't i go clubbing and partying during a global pandemic??? i'm being opressssssssed
>Steam uses credit cards something that over 50% of Australians don't use instead of just paying for the Palantir option that Microsoft went with where it just uses your email to cross reference it with purchases/buying habits to figure out if you're over 18 or not because Steam would have to pay money for it If you're going to have a surveillance state you might as well use it so I can bypass this horse shit
>>747299080>I remember australia was absurdly draconian during covidNot really it was more we didn't allow people to come here which dropped immigration to its lowest ever in modern history (Based) the only faggots that got locked up were in Melbourne and Sydney which are leftist shitholes anyway so no skin off my back
>>747299080>I remember australia was absurdly draconian during covid. will never go there. shameWhat? Aus dropped their covid shit like a year before the US. I literally left the US to move to Aus because our covid shit was draconian.
>>747299154actual strawman solid effort
>>747299154>>747299226bots came outaustralians were getting their shit taken, their animals killed, and being vaccinated against their will. i remember the "pandemic".
>>747299154>why can't I walk by myself in the wilderness with nobody around me for miles during flu season
>>747299154>>747299226>>747299253These are bots correct?
>>747299154>>747299226>>747299253Uh the aussies had literal concentration camps lol
>>747297895>their population is ok with thisWhether they are or not is irrelevant; it's clearly a goal of the Elite, so they're going to push through with it no matter how many time-limited "boycotts" or State-approved protests you hold.
>>747299080>I remember australia was absurdly draconian during covid. will never go there. shame100% chinks making this posts disparaging Australia constantly, i've never seen anything like it. There was nothing about Australias covid response that wasn't the same in the rest of the world.
>retarded children are now banned off the internetdoes this mean the internet will finally get better?
>>747299361Australian adults are worse than the kids.
>>747299354>100% chinks making this posts disparaging Australia constantlyIt's always the same scripts as well. Probably because Australia called china out on it's covid lies and wanted an investigation into how it leaked.
>>747299354prolly just underage retards
>>747296903>post says it's all about how Valve has implemented their proof of age checksAustralia hasn't banned shit, this is just Valve doing shit the laziest way possible because they've hated Australia ever since they forced them into making a refund policy for Aussies.
>schizos still whining about covid on /v/ of all places
>>747299354>>I remember australia was absurdly draconian during covid. will never go there. shameYeah nah, Albo is a deadset retard and ruining the country.
>>747299445Why should the pretense for an international dysgenic gene-editing program simply be forgotten?
>the cunts knowShut it down
>>747299331>Uh the aussies had literal concentration camps lolNo the "camps" were for if you entered the country from a foreign nation you fucking retard and were only used in the Northern Territory because the NT is a shithole everwhere else just made you stay in a Hotel for 2 weeksSomething that should be done anyway even without CovidI don't care if random tourists and brown people are held in detention to enter the country that's something that should a fucking default anyway>NOOOOOOOOOOO THE BROWNS AND SEX TOURIST BOOMERS CAN'T COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE TO SUCK THIS COUNTRY DRY!!!!!!!!!
covid response was fine, this id shit everywhere is not
>>747296903>AustroonliaReminder they blocked Rimworld and HM2 because of "sensitivity" reasons lol
>>747298581you probably shouldnt have let them take your guns
>>747299587>SEX TOURIST BOOMERSgiwtwm can't wait to go bald
>>747298581You're giving cunts the wrong idea of how our system works unless you actually think this is how our system works in which case you're fucked in the head.We have preferential voting. So getting 34.6% of the primary vote means a third of the country put them as their first pick.If everyone's first choice doesn't get them to form government then you take the preferential votes of the people who put the party with the least votes as their number 1 and tally it with their number 2, and so on and so forth until end up with a government that people prefer the most. It's much better than getting 1 single vote and if the party you wanted doesn't get it, then your vote is ignored like most other countries do. It's a waste of a vote and you end up with. Which means this shit>Imagine a system where a party can form a majority government and push through whatever they want with no means of prevention from just 1/3 of the vote.Is not how anything works here you dumbass
>>747298581>We have a fucked up voting systemRedundant; letting the public vote is fucked up by its very nature.
>>747298581we have one of the best voting systems in the world actually, you're just retarded and think we should have america's golem system
>>747297895>Australia and the UK are both police states, and their population is ok with thisFuck you, none of us are OK with it you dipshit.
Why is stupid shit like this not being put to a public vote? We were able to have a vote on faggot marriage but not ID verification all over the internet?
>>747299816>we have one of the best voting systems in the world actuallyDoes it purport to let the uninformed masses have any sway in the Government at all? Yes? Then how good could it possibly be?
>>747299587https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGFdWcJU7-0You threw anyone with a flu in one ofcthose camps lol even those who never left the country. Get a booster though, slave
>>747296903Isn't this just for "mature" games AKA porn?
>>747299751>politically illiterate about his own countryyou shouldn't be surprised, most anons on this site are deliberately retarded and ignorant and take pride in just not knowing how anything works>>747299723>duhhh gunnzzamericans have happily rolled over and allowed insanely retarded shit to happen and they've had guns for 250 years. here's to another 250 of you guys acting like you're the most anti-government people on the planet as you eagerly swallow the load of another retard government. as long as they tell you they're small-government types you'll spread your ass as they proceed to institute more puritanical bans and rape your own economy
>>747299886because you're only allowed to vote for trivial things and if the government doesn't like the result they'll just do it anyway and call you racist or homophobic for disagreeing
>>747299816I can see its working great for you lol
>>747299929No, games like Doom and Cyberpunk are now banned
don't the goverment already have my id?
>>747299816You guys voted to let your country be flooded with browns?
>>747296903>half of Australia doesn't use a credit cardthen what do they use?
>>747299886They wanted a vote on same-sex "marriage" because they knew the public agreed with their agenda of enabling fetish cults. The public doesn't agree with the agenda on this, so they push it through without a vote and ignore the protests because that how an Elite operates.
>>747299967>No, games like Doom and Cyberpunk are now bannedNo they're not lmfao, you simply have to be 18 to buy them because they're rate R18
The circumstances have changed
>>747300020>you simply have to be 18 to buy them21 year old accounts are banned from buying them unless you put in a (((credit))) card
>>747299997>then what do they use?Empty VB cans. 500 cans for a new AAA release, 250 for an indie.Unironically.
>>747297895Literally no-one voted for this.
>>747299929Australia also flags gambling imagery and drug use as adult only so games like Rimworld and Balatro are blocked too.
>>747299891that's a problem with democracy as a whole>>747299986i didn't say our system prevents global powers manipulating us but it does let you vote very precisely for who you want :)
>>747297895They are the same country retard
lmao just use a agego removal verification add on, so they failed.
>>747298992Visa and Mastercard are 90% of the worlds market. Thats why
>>747299997debit cards and cash
>>747299916>have literal interment camps to fight a fluYeah, I am not surprised Australia would be the first country to deny people access to their bought games.
>>747300136>Yeah, I am not surprised Australia would be the first country to deny people access to their bought games.But they're not?
>kids are unable to buy grand slop auto 6where's the downside?
>>747300136>Yeah, I am not surprised Australia would be the first country to deny people access to their bought games.That isn't what's happened at all you fucking retard.
thats crazy. tried entering my VISA debit card and it didn't work.
>>747300162>>747300213The store page and community tabs (workshop, forums etc) are blocked on games you already own.
>>747299967>>747300056Is this actually true is it just headcanon?
>>747300080>that's a problem with democracy as a wholeAny "muh representation" system, really.
>>747299354>100% chinks making this posts disparaging Australia constantly, i've never seen anything like it.Could also be jews, for some reason they think we're spearheading anti-semitism globally. Chinks are a safe bet as well though, they even tried to start a trade war with us when we called them out on their covid bullshit.
>>747299916>Hayley Hodgson, who moved from Melbourne to Darwin to escape lockdownAgain I don't care if some leftist faggot from Melbourne gets locked up People from Cities ruined this country they're subservient cattle and should dieCovid was great if you were in towns Zero immigration from Indian Net Negative migration for the first time in yearsWork was booming for most people and wages were competitive since they couldn't just spam indians It was a golden age the only faggots it hit were browns, boomers and leftists in cities people that I couldn't give less of a fuck about
>>747300293cope
>>747297470They are way past the US
>>747296903>grabs moms wallet>"might as well get something while im at it"
>>747300264I cant access their store pages without putting in a credit card which I do not have or chancing that my debit card works but having to have it permanently active and on file which I also wont do
>>747300261No they're not you lying little shit
>>747300356uh yes they are.
>>747297470>>747297895This is happening because you guys aren't working and having children. It's going to get WAY more draconian than this once the elite start really panicking about birth rates.
>>747296903I give up on Steam, I'm only gonna play porn games instead. Ironically it's the only thing accessible to aussies now because retarded indies and AAA game devs don't upload their games to other store fronts. And porn games also get refused ratings or just don't get rated at all.
>>747300404>you guysIs the US any better?
>>747300326>copeWith what? I hate jews and chinks, i'm glad we're all on the same page now. Watching jews kvetch and out themselves as everything people accuse them of is funny as fuck and watching china cuck itself in a trade war with Australia was hilarious. Fuck all non-Whites.
>>747296903All credit cards are American.VisaMastercardDiscoverAmexAll American and controlled by jews. Time to pay up goy.
>>747300404Why would an Elite allied with anti-natalist fetishists (sodomites, sapphists, autogynephiles and autoandrophiles in particular) concern themselves with birth rates?
>>747300471>With what?With everyone laughing at you so you need to make up boogeymen to cope lol
>>747300528>With everyone laughing at you so you need to make up boogeymen to cope lolOh yeah you're a chink alright.
>>747300471you're a broken person
>>747300482Because they're fuckin idiots with power? They have no idea what they're doing, they just react to current events. More and more of them are slowly realizing their power disappears if they don't have a population to rule over.
>>747296903>how can we make a government's tyranny valve's fault
>>747300553There you go again lol
>>747300471>With what? I hate jews and chinks, i'm glad we're all on the same page now. Watching jews kvetch and out themselves as everything people accuse them of is funny as fuck and watching china cuck itself in a trade war with Australia was hilarious. >Fuck all non-Whites.This is why I love Aussies.
Vote One Nation and make Australia white and sane again!Wake up.
>>747300568>They have no idea what they're doing, they just react to current eventsSo how is voting harder going to fix that when it caused it?
>>747296903>you must pay several hundreds of dollars annually for a credit card membership goywhoever thought this was a good idea should be impaled on a stick and skinned alive
>>747300451This will happen in all western countries. Maybe not the US since they have the ability to fill up the gap with mass immigration, you just get filled with browns instead.
>>747300471>I hate jews and chinks>Fuck all non-Whites.Simple as.
>>747299226>>747299253They were literally putting people into camps. How the fuck do people think they can lie about something that happened less than a decade ago?
>>747300624>make australia israelFuck off lol
>>747300682The left is trying to memory hole covid and what happened because it looks worse and worse as time goes on for a mild flu.
>>747300624It's fucked that we have to rely on Pauline Hanson
>>747300629It won't, democracy will go away or just become completely fake.
>>747300624So you learned absolutely nothing from the Americans.
>>747300451>Is the US any better?We're fucked, half the country is literally brown or black. Spics, jeets, chinks, arabs, all manner of mutts, everything has gone to complete shit. I'm looking to move to south america or somewhere cheap asap.>>747300682>They were literally putting people into camps. We did the same in the US, only we locked them up in military bases.
>20 year old account>been making purchases with various debit cards over 17 years>"bro you might be a minor gotta verify!"Fuck off.
>>747300758>become
Reminder that this isn't actually Valve's fault, but is the fault of Australia's lawmakers who passed a age-verification requirement for a whole bunch of online platforms, websites, and appsReminder that this isn't just an Aussie issue and a bunch of European and Asian countries, US states, and the US federal government are also trying to pass or have already passed laws like this, or are pressuring companies into complying via lawsuits and settlements with themA lot of them also require submitting your government ID or face scans, not just using a credit cardIf you value your privacy and online speech at all, you need to be staying on top of this shit and contacting your representatives and lawmakers about ithttps://www.eff.org/issues/age-verificationhttps://www.techdirt.com/tag/age-verification/https://www.badinternetbills.com/https://stoponlineidchecks.org/https://reclaimthenet.org>>747297895The EU and US are trying to do this shit too
>>747300769Trump is based.
If governments are so concerned with age verification, why don't they make an official age verification service? It seems really unfair for them to mandate that every service ever will have to individually verify the age of all their users and then to offer no regulated way to do that.
>>747300817Based on what?
>>747300713you do realise the Liberal party was in federal government during COVID?
>>747300803reminder that political solutions no longer existreminder that direct action is the most effective defense against tyranny
>>747300820>If governments are so concerned with age verification, why don't they make an official age verification service? It seems really unfair for them to mandate that every service ever will have to individually verify the age of all their users and then to offer no regulated way to do that.The entire point of these laws is to push citizens ID's into the hands of jewish tech companies.Just look at everything happening with flock and palantir here in the US.
>>747300803>contacting your representatives and lawmakers about itYou really think flooding their spam box is going to help? Or will you just vote harder later this year?
>>747300330>They are way past the USour leader isn't starting wars lol
>>747300803>just send strongly worded letters of concern and sign up petitions!Yeah that will surely work.
>>747300803>contacting your representatives and lawmakers about itImagine thinking we haven't been doing this.Imagine thinking politicians fucking care.
>>747300356they literally are retard
>>747300820It does seem unfair doesn't it? Australia doesn't want to pay for some digital id system for this age verification law they created and want stores to do it for them. Bad form.Credit cards are the only form of payment with age verification baked in so that's what they get.
>>747300319Okay glad you can admit that white native Australians who never left the country were being sent to the covid camps as that was their intended function
>>747300894Your leader supports them.
im 32 and ive never had a credit card

>>747300803Except the government didn't say this was the only option or even the first or most sensible one. This is entirely on valve for going full clap corporation and implementing the cheapest shitest (Australians don't use credit cards because we're actually allowed to move money between accounts and everyone can get a bank account) way of 'complying' because they're still assblasted about losing to the ACCC a decade ago. Imagine crying that a billion-dollar corporation has to comply with the law.
>>747301260>And pay exorbitant interest rates?on nothing?>pay the expensive membership fee?there isn't one?>ruin your credit rating?what's ruining it is not having credit lmao

>>747301345>Australians don't use credit cards50% have a credit card.
>>747300971I hate this place so much
>>747300713Can't even revisit and hold them accountable for the vast majority of the vile, treasonous things they said and advocated for during that time, because the Wayback Machine somehow """lost""" all captures of Twitter that coincides with both the leadup and tail end of COVID. All the calls and threats for your imprisonment and death and disenfranchisement, conveniently wiped clean, unable to be referenced. How so very fortunate for them
>>747301095I have the Unlimited and Flex.The Flex is dropping foreign transaction fees next month, so soon it'll become the best travel credit card there is. Because if you travel you need a travel card. You should never be paying flights or hotels with your bank account/debit because when shit happens it takes a long time before they return your money but with credit cards they work it out for you. They have protections for it.
>>747301421And nobody uses them except for emergency situations and very expensive holidays
>>747301421>50% have a credit card.No break it down by age demographics, it's all boomers. The vast majority of Steams Aussie users don't use credit cards.
You can use a Zip single use card to generate a temporary visa number that will pass Steam's age verification. Beats applying for a (((credit card)))
>>747301394ooo you got me. upvoted sick TDS burn!
>>747299816Yeah, it's working out great, am I right? Fucking faggot.
>>747301495Or you can just boycott and not use steam.
>>747301495>You can use a Zip single use card to generate a temporary visa number that will pass Steam's age verification. Beats applying for a (((credit card)))Only lasts 24 hours then it locks you out again.
>>74730142195% of boomers have them, and 95% of non boomers don't have them. Boomers are gonna die anyways so they don't care about defaulting and not paying
>>747296903GoodI hate kids and don't want to ever encounter them online
>>747301462says you>>747301487oh before nobody used them but now it's only a demographic you don't like? lmao I don't give a shit you nigger.
>>747300862thisthe reason they are being as bold as they are with this shit is because they DO NOT FEAR YOU.nothing will change, nothing will improve anywhere on this planet until they start to FEAR what angry people will do to them if they continue to fuck them over
>>747297895Don't worry guys I'm sure they can just vote their way out of this.
>>747299816>we have one of the best voting systems in the world actually, you're just retarded and think we should have america's golem systemWe will soon.Proper nazi party soon, none of this one nation kike bullshit.
>>747297470It's always been far more retarded, so has the EU, you're just an obsessed faggot. Reminder the UK is now poorer than all 50 states individually
>>747301553yeah zoomers are retards who don't own anything agreed.
>>747299816>>747300080>relying on the dumb and ill-informed to just funnel their votes directly to one of 2 parties>best in the world actuallyThis is you.
>>747301563>proves he can't even do simple research>LOLOL i dont give a shitpeak american intelligence
>>747301537It hasn't even been 24 hours since this shit came out you retard
>>747296903I am never going to get myself a credit card. If this credit card requirement comes to my country's Steam region, then I'm just going to pirate everything.
>>747301387By selling all real estate to foreigners? Okay gl
>>74730161450% of the country has a credit card. Sorry this destroys your narrative!
>>747301565They don't have to fear angry people because they can just redirect the anger towards scapegoats. Just say that black/brown/gay/trans/whatever people are to blame for everything and the mob will go after them instead. They've been pulling that scam for decades, ain't no reason it's gonna stop working.
>>747298581Karma for every Australian who cried about the US two party system
>>747301601>zoomers get the short end of the stick because of boomers>yeah this is all zoomers' faultKill yourself boomer
>>747301615>It hasn't even been 24 hours since this shit came out you retardIt has actually, and the zip card numbers expire after 24 hours.Literally just activating keys on steam is easier.
>>747301654zoomers are scum
>thread about Australia >half the replies are seething about Americans for some reason
>>747301645Those 50% are gonna pass away by the next generation from old age or age related diseases
>>747296903Who woulda thunk that a prison island would turn into a Stanford prison experiment type of place.
>>747301650We still have a two party system, just with the illusion of more choice but as our sitting government demonstrates you can still win despite receiving a fraction of the overall population's first choice.
>>747301696When America farts, the world smells it.
>>747301705Plenty of young/middle aged people with sense and a credit card.
>>747301647>They've been pulling that scam for decades, ain't no reason it's gonna stop working.people are catching on, it's not working anywhere near as well as it used to. People are also noticing who the hate is only sparingly/never redirected to and who tries to quickly course correct them to another scapegoat when the hate steers toward them organically.
>>747297895the more browns they import the worse it gets. Especially muslims, they are too retarded, their religion too dogmatic.
>>747301696We did export to them our terrible "muh representation" pseudo-philosophy of Government, to be fair.
>>747301746Lol no they don'tCredit cards are insurance they pay for, when loans are hard to get
>>747296903Is the world finally learning how jewed and retarded they are?I have literal 0 debt and have never worried about debt my entire life, i bought everything i own with straight cash.I'm glad the credit card jew never took off here, its really only retards that have it.and my steam is unlocked, debit cards work
>>747301696It's how thirdies cope.
>>747301696We live rent free inside everyone’s head. It’s what happens when you’re still the best.>inb4 more coping and seething
>>747301696They dont shut up about how they think credit cards work
>>747301696Faggots here have to cope somehow. Deflection is all they've got. desu neither of us have good governments. Australia is being ruled by a female-brained police state whilst the US is being run by the most compromised shabbos goy in presidential history that just went and completely betrayed his base. Neither of us are voting our way out of anything.
>>747301392> Requiring age verification to access a service that hosts porn is tyrannyuh hah >>747301421This statistic is wrong. It's based on the RBA's data, which doesn't differentiate between cards held by companies and individuals(I know for example, my firm has several THOUSAND amex cards) or even one and dones for afterpay services. It also doesnt delinate if each individual account is held by a unique individual.It also doesn't account for usage rate (i.e., people having an account they don't use) or types of usage. Most Australian retail usage is effectively like a small loan (think like to buy a jet ski); Australians don't make day-to-day purchases on their credit cards. Regardless, even taking that statistic at its highest, Australian usage is the lowest in the West.
>>747301745When America farts, the world smells cum.
>>747296903The Jews have officially won
You literally get free money by using a credit card. 2% back is what I get with 5% on Amazon puchases (that I also use for groceries). Honestly i don't really get it but w/e maybe retards with no impulse control are actually subsidizing me
this hasn't affected me.I don't have a credit card and only have a debit card tied to my steam account.I guess that was enough for steam?
>>747301371Did you want this giant chart under each of the cards for that list? Becomes a bitch of a webpage to read with it.It's still a 0 fee, just don't carry a balance.Or are you just afraid of reading much more than a social media post?
>>747300062where are the protesteswhy is the uniparty in power?
This is a slippery slope. First it will be laws targeting age verification with payment cards, then your ID, then censorship of games, then a completely banning of people who violate hate speech laws and banning of games outright.Its really funny how steamies thought they were immune to enshittification. Centralized services make a good product and store in the beginning, rope people in with brand loyalty and sales, then enshittify it. Youtube did it, netflix did it, spotify did it, uber did it, Facebook did it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnshittificationYou can never trust a centralized service, NEVER.Physical games and media like blurays/CD's/DVDS are decentralized because even though they have DRM they still meet the always offline standard. DRM free is nice but its not required. It just needs to be always offline forever with no ability to be altered with an online internet connection. 3DS games have DRM, Switch games have DRM but they can easily be dumped and cracked, But they are still always offline forever media.
>>747301775It's not like we're that much clever or anything, all the retards that would have fallen for credit card interest are losing all that money on pokies instead
>>747301824Some debit cards are working, if more start working it will be a non-issue really.
>>747301810It's not over and it's a bold move to take away people's circuses when everything else is so noticeably shit. People have a tendency to get mad when they're not sufficiently placated.
>>747301802>This statistic is wrong.It's right. They have an accurate number of credit cards issued and actively being used in Australia and it's a very high number.Redditors like you don't like this fact but we don't care about your cope.
>>747301831>american garbage Didn't need to read that, we don't give a shit about anything in american since you don't give a shit about other countries anyway

>>747300408I'm going to make a few games about women peeing, like one of them will be vaguely horror themed and like Darkest Dungeon but also Pokemon in that you can recruit some defeated enemies or rescued heroines and stuff and build your combinations of monster and hero parties, and you just play sort of a generic anon or ghost but the rest of the party is monster women or "survivors" and some of them have certain buffs like speed increase as their bladders fill up, but if they pee themselves in battle they lose a turn or two and get debuffs If you're interested give me contact info and I'll let you know when I start a patreon
>>747301965I got money you broke ass nigger
>>747301810Its more like you gave them the power, instead of relying on decentralized services and buying physical and demanding it when the issue arrived and boycotting this shit. That's why we are in this mess today.Odysee exists as a complete replacement to youtube and people should've switched years ago. The content and payment is completely separate from payment processors and is on blockchain. The videos will be on the arweave blockchain which is decentralized and lets datacenters host it and pays them. In turn you pay for permanent space with a premium with a guarantee thousands of data centers will host it forever.

Do people genuinely not know the difference between a debit card and a credit card or do large parts of the world just call both "credit cards"?
>>747301923>one ugly burger woman is enough to control the ENTIRE Australian legal system
>>747301987What even is the reason to get your foreskin cut off nowadays?
>>747302023You're so broke you can't handle a credit card payment lol
>>747299080It's a pretty cool place Anon.You are missing out.
>>747302060it is actually objectively like 0.01% better to pay on credit thanks to inflation if you pay off before interest

>Absurd laws>Full of giant spidersTell me one reason to live there without fear or mandatory marsupial brawls
>>747302167Spending money on markup interests and credit card membership is something you can't get back, the only thing you get is worse credit score over time
>>747302081I think a few cards can process the transaction as debit or credit, though probably not what most refer to anyways. Just see it happen on receipts from time to time.Otherwise, not sure anyone but kids would be confused by it, I think, or hope.
>>747302096Americans and Jews are afraid of washing their cocks so they resort to chopping half of it off
>>747302209Is it really that hard to wash your dick anon?
>>747302220There is no interest kid, you clearly don't know anything.

>>747302294Yes I have, I have images of cum socks stuck to the carpet burnt into my brain from 15 years ago.
>>747301606retard, i said it's the best democracy system in the world. it still has the flaws of a democracy. in australia you cannot waste your vote and you can vote for candidates in your precise order of preference so you can give votes to all the minor crackpot parties first before only reluctantly giving your vote to one of the majors
>>747302359cope lol
>>747302301>I want it. Aussies deserve to suffer for their racism and anti-semitism.>make the bread unaffordable>remove access to the circusesHow do you expect that to end for you exactly?
>>747302096Same as in the ancient times, it's a humiliation ritual.
>>747302294>hangs out in a piss jug forum>thinks he's better than the jug pissersyou are a loser
>>747302220>Spending money on markup interestsCan Australians not comprehend the idea of paying off a balance before interest occurs?Is this the "what if you didn't have breakfast?" of the land down 'unda?
>>747302096for the vast majority of people likely little more than>well me, my dad and his dad before him got the snip, so my son gets it too
>>747302382unfortunately 80% of the minor parties have some stupid deal where their votes get funneled to the major parties
>>747296903How does this affect me personally?
>>747302096makes sex unenjoyable and causes trauma, which makes you easier to control
>>747302081It's because a lot of what are refered to as Debit Cards are scheme debit cards that still process through the same Visa/Mastercard/Whatever system identically as credit cards, but just link to a bank account.
>>747302382>can't vote to rope treasonous politicians or deport parasitic non-WhitesDemocracy is fucking useless.What are some alternatives?
>>747297470Australia was already there 20 years ago and has only gotten worse.
>>747302462it doesn't someone can gift you the game, activate a steam key and you won't be blocked from playing R18+ games. It only affects the store page.
>>747299028they should get back at him by refunding their entire catalogues because they're not old enough to play videogames now
>>747302447that's if you vote above the line and let them control the preferences. if you fill out the entire thing it's all you
>>747302441Can americans not understand that even getting a credit card alone tanks people's credit ratings and lets bankers have consent to invade people's private lives for the sake of rating? Can americans really not understand the meaning of having different systems?
>>747302495can you still view the workshop of affected games
>>747302495>it doesn't someone can gift you the gameNah gifting doesn't work, you have to do age verification to accept the gift.You can still activate keys though.
>>747301914Why are Australians proud of being dumb niggers?
>>747302495Gifting doesn't work, you'll get the same "verify to access adult content" thing when you try to accept.
>>747302548Americans*They can't seem to understand what it is to live in a different credit system
>>747302485some sort of two tier solution where the economic and development layers of government are in power longer and focus solely on making the country better while more frequently elected officials do things like apologize to brown people and praise gay marriage
>>747302548>Why are Australians proud of being dumb niggers?I think they simply have no interest in listening to ignorant Americans and I can't blame them.
>>747297895Not only are they okay with it, they voted exactly for this kind of stuff. Why do u think everyone declared independence from them?
>>747302548>>747302441You dumb fucking american nigger, a lot of credit cards don't even offer "interest free" grace periods unless you're some platinum class tier bullshit or on a business plan
>>747302614>not having a literal spy device on you as a kid is bad
>>747302548Why exactly should we give a fuck about how this works in America? We don't live there and the system is different.
>>747302301Mindlessly antagonistic bullshit like this just makes people hate juden more.
>>747302548Didn't they originate as almost a literal prison state of sorts?
>>747302614>phones banned from schoolWish that was a thing for me. Can't possibly imagine how bad it would be with every shit having a 4k camera on them.
>>747301843Don’t bother dude. Steamies unironically believe that all physical games these days are just “empty key discs” and that you download the entire thing. No matter how much you point out the advantages of physical media they’ll just find some cope about why they’re happy owning nothing. I hope they get fucked even harder in the coming years. I’ll have gone full /vr/ by then so I don’t care about how games get distributed in the future anymore.
>>747300971You forgot the Height of Consent and Cup Size of Consent for sex dolls
>>747301943my steam immediately activated when i put in my debit, no purchases required
>>747299723>it’s your fault because of [thing that happened before you were born] Also when they were on the road doing their gay speeches to support it they wore bullet proof vests in my town kek
>he doesn't have a credit card to prove that he's an adultThe more reason not to let these fucks in the internet
>>747301946it doesn't matter, people with 20 year old accounts still need to "age verify with credit card"
>>747302832dumb american enslaved by your master, you cry out in his defense even as he strikes you
>>747299723you can still legally own guns it's just a pain in the ass
Starting to think these idiots have scores to low to apply for a card, though I don't recall if there's a cutoff for some of the cards specifically meant to built your score back up. I imagine their spending limits are tiny I suppose.
>>747302872Sorry, I don't listen to dumb brats
>>747302786That goes the same for America, and AI porn no matter how young looking is a free for all

>>747302209trvthnuke
>>747302658>a lot of credit cards don't even offer "interest free" grace periodsI asked a Google AI about this and SHE called you a big fat liar (for most credit plans available) unless you're taking money out of the ATM or active balance transfers.Now who should I believe, an AI, or an Australian?
>>747302928That's Israel
>>747302209around here we don't stan for wormies, mmHMMmm.
>>747302941More like goycattlenuke
>>747302957And also Australia, USA, and Russia.
>>747302905Truth be told, it's really hard to open a bank account in recent years. I used to calls for CC application years ago, but now you need to show you have proper revenue from a legal group to even set up one
>>747296903truly hell on earth. they deserve nuclear hellfire for child abuse
>>747302928>the american people voted in a known pedo not once but twice
>Australians unironically make jews frothing madFascinating thread honestly.Keep it up Bruce.
>Letting subhumans take over your country GOOD>playing video gamesBAD
>>747302951Lol no that's not even true, you need to pay for those cards especially membership fees, credit fees, and various other fees you wouldn't have had with debitDo some research before asking an AI like a low IQ brained monkey
>>747303010>>the american people voted in a known pedo not once but twiceliterally no evidence trump has ever been seen with epstein
>>747302987>americayou can just say israel
since when do jews hate aussies? did they really get that mad over tiktok bantz?
>>747303019It's very telling that all of these restrictions popped up once the < 40yo demo started turning on Israel for being cruel mass murdering sadists.
>>747303046>you need to pay for those cards especially membership fees, credit fees, and various other fees you wouldn't have had with debitWow so nothing about the grace period issue you lied about, got it.
>>747296903You can use a ZIP Pay temporary Credit Card and it works. Steam will charge $1 to it then refund it.But if you try remove it or switch back to Debit Card, you once again lose Adult status.What a retarded way to verify I'm an adult.Xbox and Playstation was a simple Face scan and photo of my drivers ID.Steam is literally saying if you don't have a credit card to show = you're not an adult.Thats just stupid and lazy implementation.
>>747303068yesthere are literally jewish whatsapp groups for each profession where they colludethe journalist group got the jewish lawyer group to pressure the head of the abc (government tv channel) to suppress a news story and fire the person who wrote itthey also encouraged letting hundreds of thousands of middle easterners in who hate them and make the whole situation worse
>>747302096Americans are too fat to reach their cocks so the foreskin is removed for sanitary reasons
I'll send their kangaroo wives my condolences.
>>747303093You literally can't get those cards without some jew breathing down your neck trying to rip you off in any possible way, those specialized cards you're talking about where you get your money back or some other shit literally have no grace periods
>>747302906Sorry, I don't listed to fatass burgers addicted to going into debt just to afford pointless shit they don't actually need. I can actually afford to buy what I want without resorting to credit, unlike 90% of America's population.
>>747303004Guess it is hard to know what the new experience is like after all this time. Unfortunate perhaps, unless they're still just being stubborn idiots for the hell of it.
>>747303054>literally no evidence trump has ever been seen with epsteinwho said anything about epstein? freudian slip?
>>747299040It already is in some states like texas, isn't itI really don't get why retards are trying to go "ha ha your country sucks XDDDD" as though this isn't happening or won't happen to them, as well
it works on debit cardsdon't fall for the psyop
>>747296903Good, now blacklist them from the entire internet. Australians, especially Australian zoomers, are the most insufferable faggots on the planet.
>>747303154So don't use it if you don't have the money. Credit cards may have been invented to scam poor people but if you're not poor they give you money back for purchases with no downside, it's that simple.
>>747303093>just pay for a membership so you don't have to pay interest, goy
>>747303197only commbank mastercards and probably not for much longer
>>747303068>since when do jews hate aussies? did they really get that mad over tiktok bantz?Flooding social media with Hitler speeches, being responsible for almost half of all online anti-semitism, starting literal nazi parties and spreading your sick ideology globally with social media and in person is not "bantz". Australians have been travelling throughout Europe and the US spreading their sick nonsense and organizing a "resistance" for years. They're terrorists and i'm glad the Australian government is finally treating them as such.
>no credit cardKek, just how poor and brown are some of you? I thought Australia was still a white majority country. I guess I was way off. Oh well, less thirdies on Steam. It’s win/win. Based Gabe.
>>747296903Piracy is a service issue. Avoiding paying taxes to a corrupt government is a good deed.
>>747303242werks on me westpac
>>747303236>So don't use it if you don't have the money.Exactly why people only use it for expensive holidays or emergencies they can't pay for. Credit cards are only for people who wants to waste money and it's infinitely faster than getting a loanNo self respecting person would use them for anything daily
>>747303249Good bait. This should get lots of (You)s.
>>747303265>Using the plastic jewISHYGDDT
>>747300624sorry mrs rinehart, not voting for your puppet
>>747303249the fuck is blud talking about?
>>747303197some debit cards are working and on the other end some credit cards aren't working.the entire thing is just a mess right now.
>>747303168Sorry, I can't hear you over all the whining and crying with multiple threads by now
>>747303236>they give you money back for purchases with no downsideLmao no they don't
>>747303154That's not what Google told me...Why do you hate CommBank, Australia's tech leader in finance? They're working for (You)!
>>747303242Doesn't work for ANZ or NAB debit cards.
>>747302382the worst part about australia's system is that we have mandatory voting (fined if you don't show up without a reason e.g medical). this results in many votes coming from retarded, uninformed people who just put the numbers in randomly.
>>747303315>Good bait. This should get lots of (You)s.Fuck you and I hope you and all your nazi wannabe friends get thrown in prison.
>>747303385And buy now pay later services are infinitely better without any markup fees associated or any requirements, seems retarded americans can't comprehend this
>>747303441>buy now pay laterThat's literally a credit card.
>>747298581>Imagine a system where a party can form a majority government and push through whatever they want with no means of prevention from just 1/3 of the vote.I don't have to, because my country (Austria) is exactly the same. My current government is a coalition, consisting of 4 different parties, that no one wanted, larping as one party, while the right wing party, which got 30% last election, is forced to sit on the cuck chair and watch.
Why do Jews and their American golems seethe so hard at Australians?
>>747303481No it isn't. Credit cards have very strict requirements and affects/tanks your credit scores depending on literally anything, you need to provide them your entire personal history every so often too, on top of exorbitant fees and other garbage they put
>>747303381They literally fucking do, even the shittiest ones that give you like .5% back are better than getting 0% back. Also to this day I don't know how the fuck anyone buys anything online without a credit card, you go to any site and it's the standard and all the other options seem like a massive hassle.
>>747303507Canada got completely fucked by I think 12-15% of the country voting for Trudeau. That was enough to win him the election.

>>747303519It is a mystery.
>>747297895>American thinks he knows what he's talking aboutYou really fucking don't. I'm tired of being told what I'm feeling or what I'm doing by the population of a country with a laughably bad education system. You don't even know what's going on in your own country, so why pipe up about other peoples?
>>747303538You're an ameritard who doesn't know how credit cards work on other countries
>>747302526Odd thing to say considering that credit rating is largely an American concept.
>>747303538we have debit cards moron
>Despite some users anecdotally reporting otherwise, it does not appear debit cards are sufficientNo it's just inconsistent lazy journo, it accepted my Commonwealth bank debit card fine
>>747296903>there are other methodsDigital ID data farms aren't really an acceptable option.
Would we still be able to activate keys? The whole things fucked regardless but surely there are ways around it
>>747303242Works on my westpac mastercard
>>747303673just put in your debit card, seems to work
>>747303441>And buy now pay later services are infinitely better without any markup fees associated or any requirementsExcept for the lack of age verification apparently :^)
>>747303612>No it's just inconsistent lazy journoironic since you are lazy and unable to look up that com bank is the only one working

>>747303532You thirdies really are afraid of the dark.
>>747303708I'm with westpac and it works.
>>747302614THIS is the kind of shit they should do instead of this esafety bullshitA law that actually addressesthe problems they're claiming to want to hit, without doing collateral damage
>>747303728israel is a third world country
>i'll call him a thirdie, surely that will make him accept the plastic jew!
>>747303708Westpac works for me
>>747296903good, no more kids in my lobbiesgaming is an adult hobby
>>747303582The major ones all work the same in any country because they use the same card network retard.What pariah state do you live in?
>>747297470ai will fix this
>>747303770Proof? No? Then Stfu retard
>>747303673>Would we still be able to activate keys?Yeah works fine, only downside is you can't get keys for everything.
>>747303763There still will be kids, they will steal their parent's credit cards or they will go to the dark web for one
>>747303519>superiorityWhich country's age verification law is causing this issue?
>>747303850>Which country's age verification law is causing this issue?jewsa
>>747303763Kids now would be playing porn games instead of fortnite or cod, which is a good thing
so what are they gonna ban next now that porn and vidya is dead?
>>747303882Jewsa controls Australia?
>>747303915being criticizing israel, then after that they will ban being white
>>747303592Debit cards are the ultimate poorfag tool.Functionally identical to a credit card but you can only spend what you have on hand.You think it makes you smart but it really means you can't be trusted to manage your own finances.Credit cards are for people with jobs who know what they are spending and known they'll be able to cover it by the time the bill is due, debit cards are for those living pay to pay.
>>747303850America, Australia, England, et al
>>747303936>Jewsa controls Australia?Literally yes.
>>747303798Stick to Unionpay Chang.
>>747304038do you miss your foreskin
>>747304038Credit cards are for people who can't pay for shit, a lot of poor fags use credit cards to pay for credit card fees until they run out of cards and default
>do you goyim not have credit cards?
>>747304038you asked how people buy things without a credit card. the answer is a debit card. thinking you're somehow smarter than everyone else because you have a jewish money extraction device in your wallet waiting for you to fuck up and fall victim to it is pathetic
>>747303850US, Australia, UK, all of the EU. The entire Western world is turning into a giant police state.
>>747304143>Government wants to make sure kids can't buy adult games, same as alcohol, porn etc>REEEEE POLICE STATE
If you nuked London it would fix Australia instantly
>>747304038does this tactic actually work on americans? lol
>>747304227The most ironic thing about this is that only non western adult games are the ones that kids can only buy now
>>747304227It's not the governments job to parent. I can't even watch porn here in the US without handing over ID to sketchy porn sites.
>>747302614No, the UK did not vote for it. Some 5 different PMs, David Cameron included, reassured them they would take a hard stance on immigration(something the public needed to hear), then proceeded to do nothing about it or deliberately accelerated it
>>747304038
>>747304038The retards at Valve think the rest of the world is America. Credits in Australia are very detrimental to getting loans. Any financial advisor or mortgage broker will tell you to immediately get rid if your credit card if you are trying to get a home loan. The banks here don't give a fuck if you've always paid it off on time, they see any open line of credit as a liability.Again, Valve are ignorant retards who don't understand that credit card only verification is not suitable in Australia. Looks like its back to pirating single player games and buying keys from resellers like G2A.
>>747304227You're something of a kid yourself.
>>747303249kys boomer
>>747304227Okay but I want the government to govern, not take up the mantle of parenting.
I hear the richest man in Australia has TWO Credit Cards!
>>747304342i think they do know they just want to make australians mad so we complain about it to the government>>747304038yes goylem. you're doing so well at extolling the virtues of credit you should reward yourself with a nice new car. you can just pay it off later because you're so mature and responsible with your finances
>>747304404One of them is for laundering money and the other is for another shell account under the guise of donations
>>747302209>looks better This is complete bullshit and cope.
>>747304092My bank recently advertised a loan to pay other banks loans with what they think is lower interest rates.
>>747304227Why exactly do we need this? Steam's been around for over 2 decades now, why add this now? Any 5 year old can access hardcore porn within 30 seconds, just by using google. It's the job of the parents to protect their children, not the government's.
>>747301595I can smell your skin.
>>747304428lol the population of steam users in Australia would be tiny, and unfortunately no one gives a fuck about an issue unless it affects them personally. There is zero chance the government changes this. Valve are just shooting themselves in the foot and losing revenue by not offering other verification methods.
>>747304529stop playing porn gamesstop playing goreslop
>>747302209Cutting your foreskin off for hygiene reasons, is like ripping off your fingernails because you don't want to wash your hands. Look at the two religions which are barbaric enough to practice circumcision and ask yourself if that's really who you want to copy.
>>747304038>American signifier of being a responsible adult = borrowing money from kikeswho would've guessed
>>747296903Not my problem I'm 18+
>>747304227Even if I took this retard argument at face value, they could have the decency to actually do it in a way that doesn't inconvenience everyone else and only actually hits their target instead of requiring this shit everywhere
>>747303426>>747303249Get a load of snip dick over here thinking some half assed age verification for R18 games is going to stop Aussies from being racist and anti-semitic. How many "nazis" have you had arrested and locked up thinking you could scare them only for them to come back ten times as angry and committed to their cause?Throw us in prison you dumb cunt, were Aussies, it only makes us stronger.
>>747304563it's any game with an r18 rating in australia and we have such a retarded classification board all sorts of benign shit is r18
>>747304563I assume you're trolling but ill still call you a subhuman low IQ mong just in case.
>>747304038>poorfag is when you have money and can just buy things outrightI miss when words had meanings.
I am Australian and I wholeheartedly support both this law and Valve's response.Australians will become kinder, gentler souls once we are restricted to more wholesome genres.
>>747296903Why are aussies so cucked?
>>747304563Kids can only easily buy or even torrent porn games now more than regular games, and that's a good thing. Porn games don't get a rating in Australia, or they are refused to get a rating. AAA games with mature themes are banned.
>>747304378They are governing. Population just started to have funny individualistic ideas all the while world at large is getting back to 18-19 century strong arm politics. Which is why government started to push heavier on policing what population can and cannot do, countries need workers, soldiers and population boom more than they needs free thinkers.
>played through the robocop game on the weekend>went to check the dlc price>store page is blocked because "lmao you might be a minor"
Should be under 25. Too young to work, too young to game. Simple as.
>>747304661That's not even true, porn games are more accessible in Australia now because they don't kowtow to western age verification censorship. But on Steam, only the lolicon porn games that require a patch would be accessible, which would mean more lolicons.
>>747304661>we must be better mates
This is unironically the britbong's fault. They're literally ruining the internet for everyone.
She'll be right mate.
>>747304747>which would mean more lolicons.Good.I thank the aussie gov for this.
>>747304765I think Texas had this kind of ban earlier than the UK.
>>747304661>Australians will become kinder, gentler souls once we are restricted to more wholesome genres.This country is going to be hilariously fucked if neets aren't contained to steam.
>>747304661I hope a bunch of kids who are left with nothing to do decide to go polar bear hunting because they're bored.
>>747304710pirate it and email the developers letting them know Valve gave you no choice.

whats stopping these kids to ask their parents to do the verification and just use dad's or mom's profile from that point onwards
>>747304909>whats stopping these kids to ask their parents to do the verification and just use dad's or mom's profile from that point onwardsMy son (13) has unironically successfully passed steams age verification check whilst I can't. If anything i'm going to be using him to do the verification.I'm also pretty sure him being age verified has fucked the parental controls I had setup on his account.
>can't play any games with guns in itfunny
>>747304865>pirate itNTA, which site do you use? most sites are dead
>>747304661>how do you do fellow cunts
>>747304976looks like the tables have turned and he's in charge now
So did Australians vote for this or not?
>>747299929porn is "adult", "mature" is your average plebbit writing game with mild violence, basically modern "all ages" rating
are there even any good adult games? sounds like a nothingburger desu
>>747305031TPB still exists but ive been using 1337x for years now. Public torrents are still going strong.
>>747305054>looks like the tables have turned and he's in charge nowCheeky cunt unironically pulled pic related on me and has been giving me shit about it all day. He even demanded to see my ID after I cracked a beer.
>>747305226Funny how BG3, a game with literal porn in it, doesn't require age verification. Guess it counts as (((modern education))) suitable for all ages?
>>747298390I use a debit card. no point loaning money from the jews when I can use my own.
>>747305228Mortal Kombat
>>747305228From what I've seen from a quick look myself it affects even GTA, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ready or Not.

>>747305203No.Right now the current government is seething because an old lesbian is leading the polls because she hates muslims.
>aussie goyim think voting does anythinglmaoing at you sad sobs
>>747305354Correction not GTA, some other warning comes up but not the credit card verification.
>>747304698>countries need workers, soldiers and population boom more than they needs free thinkers.Maybe people would be willing to work harder, die for their country, and have kids if they got paid well, weren't constantly being replaced by foreign labor, and could actually afford to have kids.This all seems like a manufactured set of issues stemming from the government not being able to do it's job and I don't think clamping down on people having fun is going to fix that.
>>747305360this but unironically, atelier slop is bottom of the barrel shit that'd probably turn your kid queer by playing it
>>747300293>jews hate them>chinks hate themHow is Australia so based?
>>747305228rimworld is r18 because it has drugs in it. our game classification board is literally a bunch of 70 year old christians
>>747305226How many mature games have completely axed having chat functionality because it might be "too toxic"?Shit talking was always hilarious, but some landmass of a bitch must have gotten their feelings hurt and screamed at a suit at some point, everything is censored, or you just can't chat at all anymore in some games.

>>747305354>From what I've seen from a quick look myself it affects even GTA, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ready or Not.GTA is fine, Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are age restricted, Ready or Not is age restricted.Payday 2 looks to be age restricted as well.
>>747305228Just looking through my steam wishlist it hits the RE2 and RE4 remakes plus MGS4
>>747305451lol good luck finding a Christian in Canberra.
>>747305278>1337xThat site keeps dying/changing and had been unreliable for me. Most torrent sites only has adult games but there are some that has others too but they're not that expansive and a lot of the seeders are dead. I've been using whatever I can.
>>747297470US is nationalist retardation which is at least spiritually less cucked than the type of retardation Australia (and the UK) has.
>>747305497Ive been using 1337x for more years than I can remember and never had an issue. It always has new release/newly cracked games including fitgirl repacks. I get movies and TV shows from there too.
>>747298118The UK has been arresting people for praying inside their own heads, or for criticizing the mass rape of children for more than a decade now. The US still has a long way to go to catch up to that level of stupidity
>>747305203>So did Australians vote for this or not?No.And the last time we did get to vote on something, the voice referendum, the government just decided it didn't like our vote.Cuntry is fucked.
>>747296903REMINDERAge verification and ID verification exist solely to benefit advertisers and governments. It's for neither your nor children's safety
>>747301802It's the same type of schizos who insist we have credit cards that insist we have tipping as wellseppos can't understand a way of life different than their own
>>747305518>US is nationalist retardation which is at least spiritually less cuckedWe're literally subservient to aipac and israel. We are the most spiritually cucked nation on the planet.
>>747302614>dickless muttmerican retard thinks its a good idea for children to have a device that allows them to socialize, waste time and entertain themself away from learningYep, its cock chopped retarded hours

>>747300482>Why would an Elite allied with anti-natalist fetishists (sodomites, sapphists, autogynephiles and autoandrophiles in particular) concern themselves with birth rates?because they're necessary for the line to go up (and thus the elite to get even richer)
so when are we taking back our country? its been going to shit for decades, how much longer until the people fight back or are we all cucked
>>747297470They are way, way past it.Burgers atleast still have weapons to cope and say they can totally fight back against a tyranical government even though they never will.Austrians have given up theirs after the most blatant falseflag in the history of falseflags.To describe them as slaves would not be accurate because at every single point in human history slaves enjoyed more rights and higher autonomy than the free prole of today.
>>747297470Australia and Britain has always been more retarded than the US. There's a reason this meme exist.

missed>>747305665 -> >>747305451
>>747301838The protests are banned because the Australian government, like every police state, has effectively outlawed dissent against the regime.And for the record, since I'm assuming you arent Australian, the current polling has One Nation leading with the most votes by 2%, meaning that the Uniparty here will be broken for the first time when the next election happens. However, the next election isnt until the middle of 2028, and as you can predict with draconic governments, the current regime has literally just started banning political parties they dont like. That's currently a major story in our country. The White Australia Party are fighting the party-banning legislation in our High Court.Most people here, excluding the far left extremists that every Western country has, do not support this shit at all. But there's nothing we can do about it. We literally have an American woman, who is ex-CIA, as our "E-Safety commissioner". And she can now summon any private citizen and slap them with up to 360,000 dollar fines whenever she wants and there is nothing anyone can do about it. We live in Bolshevik hell.
>>747305309You anti-BG3 shizos always make BG3 sound way cooler than it actually is.
>>747305626>just make your children tech-illiterate instead of teaching them responsibilitySounds like you're lazy
>>747305725Even Larian admitted that Hasbro was forcing them to put degenerate shit into the game.
>>747305716>and there is nothing anyone can do about it.There is. But because you are not even capable of conceiving the idea of it, you deserve the bolshevik hell you've found yourself in.
>>747301345Why are you stupid cunts so willing to upload your face? Valve is protecting you from yourself by making it credit card only.
>>747305784valve is protecting nobody but their own asses, i would rather just have used some garry's mod fake cam for that shit instead
>>747305742Yep...there is that classic old dickless muttery retardation in action ladies and gentlemen.Never fails to be more retarded than the last post.
>>747305784Or maybe they can see Ive had my steam account for more than 18 years.
>>747305784Don't waste your breath on shills>protecting youNot really. There's no safe way to do age verification checks. They use dox to ascertain your age
once you allow government into video games, you take the good with the bad and the very bad
>>747305875I agree with that, but they won't do it. Britbongs went through all of this, and Valve didn't budge. They won't this time either.
>>747305784>alve is protecting you from yourself by making it credit card only.By making it credit card only I can no longer buy DLC or access the steam workshop for games I already own.I'm not advocating for cunts to hand over ID, but at least give us a method that's easily spoofed.
>>747305783Any solution you're thinking of will be shut down in seconds and then respun by the media as the exact reason that the regime needs to exist.
>>747305682I have a FB account purely to trawl through marketplace for old tools and motorcycle parts. I occasionally get jump scared by a random ass post from a boomer in a local area group who is mad about a teenager which did something stupid and that they "should do something and make it illegal!!!! this shouldn't be allowed!!!".
>>747297470You mean the UK?
>>747305783>just go and die in revolution lolSuccessful coups only happen with either heavy foreign influence or military getting fed up with government bullshit.
>>747305872>books are increasingly going digital (no device, no books)>schools increasingly rely on e-learning platforms and email for communication>nearly every single educational institution has online signups>class projects are increasingly coordinated via online chatsTimes have changed. Denying children access to computers and the internet is depriving them of tools
Aussies should be happy they can easily work around this, here in Germany steam simply no longer sells adult games because our government only accepts state ID as proof of age, not credit cards, and Steam will not do ID checks.
>>747305932See? Your problem is you have already capitulated to the government. Now Valve is the bad guy. You shouldn't be willing to follow any of this crap. >>747305947Yup. I hate this place, I know it won't be much better but am considering moving to NZ. >>747306021Kids are dumber than ever and changing from pen + paper to ipads is one of the main reasons why.
>>747305924Valve are just as big cunts as the boomer politicians that made this law.
>>747305783>just take up arms bro and overthrow the governmentSure just fight the police, the adf, the media, ect.
>>747306062>considering moving to NZwhy would you move to worse australia?
>>747306040I find it funny how krauts didn't make any stink over it here, it only surfaced in context of aussie credit card debacle.
>>747305914There's a huge difference between banning jewry like gambling (skinner boxes and gacha) and doxing the population (btw age verification doesn't do shit to protect children since their spaces are free for anyone to access, letting pedos keep grooming them)
>>747306062>Yup. I hate this place, I know it won't be much better but am considering moving to NZ.Actual insanity.t.kiwi living in Aus.
>>747305203Boomers probably didThey had to le own Trump
>>747305934This is why you'll always be a slave and why you deserve every indignity your government rains down on you.
>>747306040that was just for hentai games and the like right?because apparently Australians are being blocked from viewing games like cyberpunk.
>>747306116>I find it funny how krauts didn't make any stink over it here, it only surfaced in context of aussie credit card debacle.Germans just quietly suffer, Aussies I like because they actually openly talk about problems.

>>747306194>and would be able to buy a house there.If you can afford a house on the South Island you can afford a way nicer house and a bigger property in Aus. I literally moved from South Island to Aus to be able to afford to buy property. Just move to Tas. It's South Island but better. The cost of living and wages in NZ are so bad. Aussies have no idea how bad it has gotten.
Seriously just nuke London
>>747306185t. Gen Z.
>>747306241I like Pokemon's game corner. It's a fun little part of the game. No money leaves your pockets. I hate that kikes have banned itI hate FIFA's ultimate team gambling (pay real money for players in a video game). It should be banned for being literal gambling
>>747306303>Aussies have no idea how bad it has gotten.I'm pretty sure a lot of us know because of how many early 20's kiwi's end up over here.
>>747306229I don't live in a shithole country with a tyranical government enslaving me. I get it that "this is just the way things are and how it is everywhere" is the only way you can cope with the absolute state of your pathetic existance, but it simply isn't. You are a faggot slave horrified of getting his hands dirty, with a government that knows they can push you all they want because you'll never see violence as an appropriate response. Even now, you'd sooner consider lashing out at people telling you to get your shit together than the ones actually tormenting you because it doesn't involve actually having to do a thing.You deserve the hell you live in. A prison colony through and through.
>>747304563>>747306176actually hentai games are more easily accessible here in australia, because most of them needs an exteral patch anyways
>>747306303>Aussies have no idea how bad it has gotten.Most of us know mate and it's why you'll always be welcome, everyone else can fuck off though.
>>747306373You forgot to actually answer the question you were asked in that paragraph.
>>747300881>>747300903>>747300916>>747300862Well, it has a 0% chance of changing if people don't complain to their representatives, whereas it has maybe a 1% chance of changing if people complain to their reps, and 1% is more then 0%, so yes, you should take the 5-10 minutes to do it. And yes, that same logic applies to voting. I know being a jaded doomer is fashionable, but the reality is that sometimes, in fact, things do build up enough public momentum to influence and change how politicians handle things.A modern example of this is with Data Centers and Flock, where there's enough outrage over them that some officials are backtracking. You might be too young to know this depending on your age, but online protests did in fact used to actually accomplish things back when the internet wasn't filled with tribalized nonsense discourse and Google, Wikipedia, etc had the balls to participate in them, such as against SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA. >>747301345>Except the government didn't say this was the only option or even the first or most sensible one.But what Valve did is the most sensible one. A credit card verification system is the least invasive method, the alternative is you uploading your ID or face scans, which would be even worse.
>>747306428Case in point.
>>747306397and while i'm saying this, i can't even access l4d2
>>747306453You still dodged the question you were asked.Are you sure you're not actually a politician yourself?
>>747306434>where there's enough outrage over them that some officials are backtrackingYou do know that the same counties that "rejected" Flock, just signed up to a different agency doing the exact same thing, right?

>>747306373>I get it that "this is just the way things are and how it is everywhere" is the only way you can cope with the absolute state of your pathetic existance, but it simply isn't.Ackshually, his go to cope is "well uhh how about yo go fighting for me, huh?!" that he can't actually use if you aren't a 'fellow' bogan.

Hey buddy, your country is 40% White, inflation is like 30% a year for you, all of your jobs are being given to Indians, and you cant even take a breath of fresh air without 20 different Flock cameras snapping a photo of you.When exactly do you plan to enact your ridiculous Rambo fantasy, bud? Because it sure seems like your 2nd ammendment is nothing more than a comfort blanket. You are frustrated by your own failures because unlike us you dont have an excuse, and now you unleash the guilt of your cowardice on to us in the form of your gluttonous rage.
