Once again they are the only party standing alone but in my view correctly on the issues of the moment. To whit, standing against the wave of politically-motivated anti-immigrant sentiment, amongst other things.

If you say things like "they only cared about whales", you are thinking of Greenpeace, maybe, but in this day and age, this remark says more about you than about the Greens. Do take a deeper dive into the longstanding policies.

I joined the Greens around ten years ago because they were the only party taking a broadly mainstream, sensible economical approach, while everyone else was falling over themselves to embrace 'the country is like a household' politically-motivated austerity. Pragmatic progressivism.

I'm wondering how you can pack the Weetabix more efficiently, and now you are too.

Yes, as a general rule you only make laws when you have to, for everyone, and not when you feel like being a cnut to specific groups of people

Also there is a legit significant difference in angular moment of inertia between a solid sandwich and a bagel, so now I'm wondering how much rotational kinetic energy different sandwiches can store while maintaining structural integrity

I am now wondering what the max rotation speed is before the sandwich loses its structural integrity... but I feel too much has been asked of you already

Maybe this is my engineering degree speaking, but: vice, lever, spring mechanism. I can name 3 more appropriate things for that context, and I bet you all can too.

Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs An “unauthorized party” may have accessed the names of users, the last four digits of credit card numbers, and more.

this is why we use VPNs to get around the "online safety" bill

this is why we oppose digital IDs

these third party providers cannot be trusted

If they keep Kemi in charge, they'll continue to take a beating in the polls. There, I made it make sense.

Galactic Alphabet All of these materials belong to Novruzov Studio and Nurgeldi Novruzov and are offered for sale after they are prepared. After using it for your projects, you can give the link of your works by report...

I don't know what the quality of the assets is internally, but THIS, by comparison, does not look like a low effort decal/sprite pack. I'm just prototyping atm but these look like they will work well for me. fab.com/s/64cfa3e34614

People who want to use AI-generated content in games, perhaps as a placeholder (not a great practice IMHO, but ok, it happens) will know how to make it. This is garbage content.

Right now this site is absolutely untrustworthy. An icon pack I bought just disappeared off the site. Was it pirated? What does that mean for me and my use of it in my game? Would that merit a notification perhaps? Yours, an IP lawyer.

Reported, but will that take down one asset, let alone all from this AI spammer?

Of course, it doesn't do much because the stuff I am trying to filter out isn't labelled properly.

Just because they used AI to make tattps doesn't mean it is low effort
