Eh, his choice and if it works that's great. We do it here as well, and not just for child sex offenders. They chemically castrate people in care with brain injuries to make them easier to deal with (which I'm not OK with, but it doesn't happen in my state).

Yeah, I assume the US isn't that much different to Australia in that regard. No lack of wealthy retirees with hobby farms, or large scale farms that are more management than hands on. Can't say I'm interested enough to read her book, just commenting on how she comes across, but it'd be funny if...

I'd guess she still thinks her "Pragmatic Country Woman" routine is a good complement to Trump's "Eccentric New York Billionaire". I imagine she's been off the farm for a while now, and her attempts to lean into her background come across as not only ingenuine, but a bit psychopathic. Probably...

Isn't the "hard nosed, independent, country woman" her brand though? I don't know anything about the woman, but that's the impression I got from her tweets. Reminded me of Palin.

Brags? They are a feral pest. Cats more so than dogs. Shooting them is straight forward conservation, and more humane than the traps and poison. There's no native equivalent, so they are literally driving native species to extinction. Along with goats, pigs, deer, foxes and horses. Importing...

Don't have any experience with US PMCs, but local contracts for the gold runs in Papua New Guinea and the Government contract to employ British mercenaries Executive Outcomes / Sandline International with Russian Hind-D helicopter gunships to wipe out resistance in Bouganville (the contract fell...

I assume that "per capita" figure for guns is per 100 people? Not that I could rule out Americans having 120 guns each, but I know we don't have 14-15.

Yee Haw.

I mean it's absolutely true that you could choose never to give Tiktok permission to integrate with other apps, choose not to give it access to your contacts, never use your Tiktok ID for SSO with other apps, never install it in a country where it still collects location data, just never install...

Prompting for 3rd party app integration for recording contact lists, and then pointing at the opt out options as a defence, doesn't really allay concerns, let alone their more recent updates to comply with legislation regarding their previous geolocation features only happening in the countries...

Tellingly, after that report they removed some of the geolocation features in accordance with local laws. This was Tik Tok's response to that report though, and basically they blame the user for giving them access to 3rd party app contact lists. You're right though that tracking pixel use etc...

Yeah, a lot of their data collection is "opt out".

Meta's focusing on the standalone platform and Meta store. They can't compete with Steam on PCVR, as we saw with the Rift store. Hence using Asgard's Wrath II to show the potential of standalone with sufficient developer effort/money. That's also the reason for emphasis on MR. As it is, taking...

Definitely a stupid thing to say given the role of the Papua New Guineans in WWII. They weren't eating allied servicemen. Not that tourist tours don't play up the historical cannibalism, but that wasn't coastal tribes. More stories of cannibalism in PNG by the Japanese.

It is a shame that Meta isn't funding PCVR game development anymore. Stormland and the original Asgard's Wrath set a quality standard few PCVR titles reach. Mixed reality is just a bonus at this stage of development, and I mostly use it to check my surroundings or deal with something quickly...

Yeah, I wasn't blaming you. Just disappointed in the predictable nature of WR discussion.

If you have to try this hard to make a crime political, it's probably not really WR material.

I don't think it's an either or situation. Diminished responsibility due to his age doesn't mean he's not a dud unit for murdering someone at 7 and threatening to murder someone else at 10 on that basis. His access to firearms and ammunition, and the fact this occurred at the age of 7, is...

They seem to target the flight and racing sim market pretty hard with their designs, which is a niche within a niche, but I think the main thing holding them back is the unfinished state of most of their products at launch. Hopefully they can turn the corner on that with this release, as well...
