Theocratic parties should be illegal

I heard this too, but I've also heard contradictory statements, so I was reluctant to make that claim. Hopefully they do.

You did it! Legend!

Vote for independents, even if you're sure they'll lose. Preferential voting is a beautiful system which benefits you in ways you might not realise.

It forces the winning party to consider emulating the top independents. It also encourages the independents to try again.

My top choice is always whoever has the best environmental protection policies, animal welfare protections, and wants to address climate change.

This normally means I vote: Independents > Greens > Labour > Liberal > Nationals

Appreciate the effort but that's not it. The game starts with the crash, not on a space station.

With Australia's surveillance issues, I would prefer not to have a company which handles our data to have closer ties to the government.

Metal Gear Solid 3 didn't have any politics in it and it was awesome! There was this meowing guy who liked to spin his guns, a bee man, an electric guy, and some chick who's tits were about to pop out of her unzipped jacket.

The codec scenes didn't interest me so I just skipped it all, but my point stands, it just isn't political, sorry to burst your shagohod.

Okami won game of the year, it's certainly not obscure. It even got a Steam release after all these years.

It was a game for PC around the year 2000, I don't even know the name of it. I've been searching for it for years. It's a point and click adventure game.

The premise is your spaceship breaks down on an alien planet. If you try to repair the ship immediately a giant alien spider will come and kill you.

After searching for a while you end up making friends with one of the aliens and sneak around one of the villages looking for parts.

I never made it past that point.

I highly doubt anyone will know what this is, I've tried multiple times on that reddit sub for games people can't remember.

Thanks for the tips.

Internode is being absorbed into iinet soon, so they will cease to exist as an entity in a few months. End of an era. I'll look into Aussie Broadband

Nope, but that sounds like psychiatric malfeasance.

I'm sure nobody denies there are bad psychiatrists, but what you're saying sounds more like an argument for better practice's in psychiatry (which happen constantly), as opposed to the claim you had initially, which was about psychiatrists over diagnosing people with a mental illness.

On a related note: The frequency of ADHD diagnoses has risen drastically over the last few decades.

Someone may interpret this to mean psychiatrists are over diagnosing.

Another interpretation is more people are becoming ADHD.

But the medical consensus is that the public understanding of what ADHD is has improved. It is no longer understood as "little boys with too much energy", and so, more people seek help.

It's shameful that misdiagnoses happen, and I'm sorry that happened to you.

When you try to take some cute little sea critters home but realise they'll die outside of their environment:

Alright then, keep your sea crits.
