That’s a fair call. I’m not going to say they’re perfect by any means, even as I’m defending them and saying they’re pretty good. Anybody can do good work, but consistency is what makes it.

It’s hardly a paper of record, but I recon that’s a bit unfair. Sure it’s not without it’s problems, no outlet is, but Jalop is still more often than not one of the good ones. I’ll criticize them when I think they’ve gone off the path, sure, but you might note I rarely get stuck into them.
Ballaban is also - while not…

“Australian piece of excrement who owns it”

I’d be a little easier on you if it was the first time, and not the third or fourth. And at least two of those hadn’t turned out to be complete nonsense - and I only say at least, because I’m being cautious about what I say.

Here’s a much shorter investigation - it’s a rumor about a BBC show published by The Sun, a red-top tabloid who have a hate-boner for the BBC you could use to drill for oil, and a relationship with the truth best described as distant and unfamiliar. It’s most likely a bathtub full of bullshit, with a tiny,…

Well, if Rush Limbaugh also really liked cars, you’d be pretty much 100% accurate. He’s a right-wing loudmouth twit, that’s at least 90% of what you need.

Another report from the British red tops?

They always do it, though. Same old song, just different players. Someone dicks over US consumers? Fucking consumer revolts, everyone hates them, riots in the streets, dogs and cats living together, Mass hysteria!

“Wow, you just managed to take victim blaming to an all new level.”

A man after my own heart. I’ve already arranged that when I die, I’ll be donating my money to science and my body to charity.

They can propably afford low targets, considering how well they sell here in Australia. I can’t even remember a day I’ve left the house in the last few years and not seen at least one SS driving about.

The answer is pretty obvious.

Equally likely - I just mightn’t have seen her, since it goes around on an in-game clock cycle. I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve come in and Lau’s sister wasn’t there, either.

If you listen, sometimes they’ll give you information - for example, if there’s a group of enemies within a certain radius, and you’re heading toward them, they’ll sometimes shout out “Hey, be careful, I saw a group of criminals/gang people/army looking guys going down that way!”

I’ve done that one, but I never saw her playing in the base. She was there for the end of the mission, which I completed, never saw her again. I assumed she’d died, considering the tone of some of her dialog in the mission.

“Evans has reportedly threatened to quit at least once”

Mate, if I can run my clapped out old van down a rally course on big cargo-grade leaf springs and light truck tyres, while still making a respectable time for an amateur rally(And an insane time for an old 90s nissan vanette), then you can rally goddamned near anything.

“I’m sure some unpleasant buffoons think he’s awesome at face value”

Ex-flight attendant and therefore expert on international Mcdonalds here, I’ll back that. It tastes pretty different from country to country most of the time. Sometimes, it tastes wicked wrong to me and it’s practically inedible, sometimes it’s absolutely delicious, sometimes it’s just middling.

The flavor is…

Also - he’s been rabbiting on with this conspiracy theory nonsense almost since his career started. This is just the latest in a long series of “The government is coming after us, we’re so persecuted!” narratives.
