Hotline Miami was one of the last problematic games I remember. we have Mortal Kombat.

nunsexmonkrock posted:Is it true that yous guys are not allowed to have the Mortal Kombat video games? I think there were some issues around the amount of violence in the classic MK1 and 2 games, but the latest ones are available. On a related note, R18+ movies couldn't be shown in theatres up until around the time Kill Bill 1 came out, because restricted movies were straight to DVD only, and I think there was a release delay. I remember that a lot of people hadn't seen 1 but saw 2. Pretty sure there are just restrictions about how they can be advertised on public TV now.

And the cert board haaaates that that rating finally got added because they can't rubber-stamp bans on games they don't like anymore because they're outrageously conservative and religious. They still try it though anytime they can get away with it, and nearly got Disco Elysium: The Final Cut for drug references before a recert. And probably someone telling them the original version had been on Steam for years already.

No picture cause I was driving but I just saw a cockatoo rip a bunch of siding off a house and fly away with it. Stopped at a cafe and saw a man with a mullet and more face tattoos than teeth order a truffle hashbrown sandwich and a $12 coffee. Australia

I've noticed Australia has an unusual respect for tradies. Is that real or put-on for comedic effect on the internet? I feel like I could get elected PM by walking around giving anyone in an orange vest a cold Gatoraide and calling them a legend.

I'm not sure how unusual it is but yes those with a trade a generally well respected. To be clear a tradie has done a 4 (or so) year apprenticeship - as opposed to a labourer. But it wasn't always the case. I reckon about 20 years ago or so there was still the idea of a tradie being a bit of a dag, plumbers' crack showing etc. I remember there being a distinct shift in public perspective. 'Tradies get the ladies' wasn't always a saying.

Tradies make more money than fuckwits with a degree. They're also generally more useful to have around of anything breaks. They're also more likely to be dickheads but nobody's perfect.

We've got strong federal unions, especially for construction, electrical, etc which doesn't hurt. From what I've seen it seems tradies are thought of like failures or deadshit morons over in the US which just doesn't happen over here.

While tradies might seem to get paid a lot here, their working life is often shortened by work related health issues.

It's largely real, but there is an ironic element as well as a culture vulture aspect as well. Private school kids love to feel tough and True Blue by getting a mullet and a high vis and drinking VB.

Dove on to the page to find out for all of us, finally found the post (She had changed the background after some complaints) after wading through usual inane local page crap asking for 'Mechanics that doesn't cost an arm and leg' and 'where's the best vet to take my dog', and there are a lot. Turns out it was a suicide, and naturally, the comments are full of *these folk*... But the last comment made me laugh.
