Err that's what I did.

To be fair the only other place on the list within 7km that lists an available date as...a weeks waiting list.Which is better than 3 weeks the chain pharmacy quoted for me.

i hope this is true.

i am more afraid of america than of russia or china. those two countries i believe are rational and well aware that nobody wins a nuclear war. (taking ukraine is a rational act in the face of climate change.) america i don't trust not to do something unbelievably stupid, and then of course they'd drag us in with them, that's what they always do.

Noted and appreciated thanks webmeister, very kind.

To highlight the wild contrast between the vast supply-chain of petroleum and the simplicity of cycling. Because this is, fundamentally, about how we source the energy we need to move. We should be clear and define what it is we're actually talking about. It's been whittled down from previous drafts at least, thanks in part to people in here.

Whats amusing to me is that Bucky has actually received some very good advice from some people quite qualified to give it.

But the manifesto persists. The only way any of this happens is if they become a billionaire willing to fund it themselves

Another boring take on an article about financial literacy. Don't bother doing what you can with reality just have a cry about it online.

I read this whole article and was thoroughly confused, they made it out as if this man was going to help young people get people prices for things. Then he talked about how he was teaching kids what superannuation is.

if it makes you feel any better/worse, that article is probably the business council (or other bunch of pigs) counter strategy for this report: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/05/no-way-to-budget-out-of-cost-of-living-crisis-for-low-income-earners-report-finds

In think people were throwing around alt Australian flag details and he copied the indigenous flag and made it pastel. I think he staunchly defended the concept, as is his style.

Putting aside Albo for the moment, how would you break up Coles and Woolworths as a practical matter? What would that look like?

Do like AT&T back in the day and split them into 6 or 7 regional operations?

Seperate distribution/warehousing/stores?

The overwhelming amount of evidence indicates that youth vaping has accelerated the decline in youth smoking.

There is no evidence of a gateway effect:

No, it doesn't help, fuckface.

Not voting yes regardless of reasons means I'm automatically racist? That's an even shittier take. I was asked to change the founding document of my country for the sake of people who despise my country (or worse, outright reject its existence). On what loving planet is that a reasonable request?

EDIT: Also your poo poo towns of Australia rankings contains a lot of pointing and judging of the poor and disadvantaged. That's kinda gross too.

Please try to be less gross.

Recoome. That's my complete and honest answer.

I put my reasoning forward for why my made a progressive no vote and Recoome ignored everything I said in favour of calling me an idiot, then needled me - with the assistance of other posters - long after the referendum had left the news cycle. His behaviour towards me didn't make me reconsider my position, it didn't make me reconsider the reasoning behind my referendum vote, it just made me angry and resentful and wonder why I bothered supporting First Nations causes at all if all I got in return was pissy Aboriginals with chips on their shoulders hanging poo poo on me. You wanted a loving meltdown, Recoome? CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SPITEFUL BLACK BASTARD, HERE'S YOUR loving MELTDOWN, WITH ALL THE RACISM YOU CAN HANDLE. Guess what, fuckfaces? You're not the only marginalized people in this loving country, stop acting like you are and stop throwing a loving tantrum every time the majority tells you no. Life is not fair, deal with it.

And as for the rest of you: learn some loving ideological flexibility, and stop acting like these threads are some goddamn echo chamber. Not everyone thinks like you, not everyone acts like you, not everyone is going to march in loving lockstep with you while sipping cruelty-free soy fuckacinos. The moment someone says something that is slightly out of tune with the loving hive mind in here, they are instantly turned upon and torn up.
