The Ugly Stepsister - gory parts have stayed with me in the days since

Neighbourhood Watch - like comfort food

It was weird... Nice visuals and I enjoyed thinking about the concept once all was revealed, but narratively it was a bit weak and the actions of several characters don't really make sense to me in context. It was enjoyable as like a super-extended flylo music video lol

Will likely change course next election due to the bullshit loophole in the electoral reform bill now in effect where multiple donations below the new cap can be spread across different branches of a party, disproportionately impacting minor parties and independents with few or one branch

It will likely be sent to the UK, but still handled in accordance with their Swiss privacy policy. The UK entity should be well versed in operating under GDPR and the Swiss entity would be liable under Swiss law in the event of any breach related to mishandling.

Afaik if there was a Swiss-originating alternative it would still operate under anti-money laundering legislation and as such your info would still be shared internationally in various circumstances determined by them. You would only be able to unilaterally revoke permission to use your data and therefore lose access to the service.

This is inherent to this kind of service, not any particular company.

Besides the obvious massive cost of the nuclear plan (which would certainly blow out to much more than anticipated) I feel this actually is a pretty good look for LNP. Dangles a carrot in the form of a cost of living payment, uses Labor's clearest policy failure to its advantage (vaping reform) to the degree that Chalmers responds by directly comparing apples to oranges; relying on vibes (return to surplus "faster than Labor") will probably work well for them.

God help us.

You might be right, but basically everyone is expecting there to be significant features of MKW which are as yet unannounced but will be featured in the upcoming Nintendo direct which is focused on that game specifically.

There is certainly an argument to be made about DLC cost being included upfront (and Zelda was already $90 on Switch 1 including the DLC) to avoid splitting up the player base for a game with an online focus. That might not be what they're doing, but my point is there are things they could do to justify the price increase for many players.

They also might just do nothing more than what's already been announced, but I doubt it because why then would they do another reveal later?

Fair enough. I think it subverts the genre tropes enough to keep it interesting. More so than The Boys for example.

Plus I still get plenty revved up over a good action sequence featuring an indie band I like, like Amyl & The Sniffers (whom it seems Black Mirror just discovered as well)

It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.

And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.
