If this true, why isn't it headline news? @theguardian.com ?

Good news, but we should have proportional representation.

Then at least people can have a vote they actually want to make.

Authoritarians, strongmen and dictators: who is on Trumpโ€™s Board of Peace? Representatives of repressive regimes from around the world are flying to Washington for the inaugural meeting of the body

Board of dictators. Board of authoritarians.

Where is the peace?

(Not to mention a shocking look at the state of countries around the World)

Or the exact opposite of what you just said.

The BBC highlight this area has got poorer since Brexit, and lost money, all because of that Farage bastard.

It's Microsoft.

They vet no-one.

They wouldn't dare risk their monopoly.

Actually, let me rephrase my question: What a stupid question.

15.02.2026 22:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The international ones.

Was that supposed to be a "clever" question? I'll start a slow clap now.

It's a disgrace this isn't funded far, Far, FAR into the future.

How can I help fund it now.

It's still cooking. But the first course is done.

The second course is well on its way. Dessert still to come.

But you got some tasty stuff to get into. And a lot of fun.

I think I usually get bored around 150 hours

But possibly Mass Effect... if you add up multiple play-throughs, plus Andromeda. Which goes without saying, WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Mind you, I've been putting uncounted hours into Star Citizen for a couple of years now. (this might be my addiction...)

Sure.

But also.

"don't assume the worst"
"it's good to talk"
"we have limited characters"

But the point was, it does effect me, and half the population, and it always has.

But the WI has always seemed a nice group, doing positive things, and I wouldn't it to shut down just because I'm not included.

Trump is LITERALLY destroying the WORLD.

For greed. And power.

And because he has small "hands".

Hasn't the WI been excluding huge chunks of the population since its inception?

I thought that was the point.
