So far this is filled with posts about how Australia is racist and Americans talking about America (because that's relevant?)

The title is a lie, or at the very least being maliciously deceptive. This is a common theme among 'Yes' supporters I've noticed. They laughably claim that their opponents spread 'fake news' all the while plugging their fingers in their ears spreading their own misinformation while sniffing their own farts so they can feel superior.

The referendum was about permanently enshrining an advisory body into Australian politics specifically to make race-based representations to parliament. That is racist. Most Australians don't support embedding racism into our Constitution. They voted against it. The end.

It's clear that most of the people responding to you are being deceptive and crying 'racism' to make themselves feel superior.

This was not a referendum to recognise indigenous people. Whomever titled this article is a liar. It was a referendum to create an advisory body that makes representations to parliament to support a specific race. Contrary to the holier-than-thou crowd around here, many people voted 'No' because they do not agree with permanently enshrining this in the Constitution.

Hence why I used 'most'. Democracy, amiright?

The referendum was on whether to create and enshrine an advisory body with the power to make indigenous-focused representations to parliament.

I suspect the referendum would have succeeded if it were purely to recognise Australia's aboriginal people as being the first peoples of Australia.

Glad this is over with. I fully expect the next week or two to be filled with articles bemoaning how 'No' only succeeded because people are racist/stupid.

Hopefully after this final whinge our politicians and media can start narrowing focus on things most people actually find important.

Don't even need to waste my time clicking that link to know it's full of crap. Pretty much every single major cow milk alternative has less sugar than cow milk. And 'chemicals' is a scary word that has no meaning in this context.

Game is kind of 'meh' at the moment. I paid more for this game than any other in my life, yet I am disappointed in what it's achieved.

The outpost mechanic is completely and utterly pointless, inventory management is a disgrace, questlines are forced and inflexible.

I will revisit in 6 months or so in the hope that modders finish making the game that Bethesda started. I have learnt my lesson to not buy a Bethesda game straight away though.

Please keep responding to my comments everyone. I've decided to take this as an opportunity to block as many of you annoying mosquitoes as possible so I don't have to deal with you in the future.

Did you even read the comment chain you're responding to? You know, the one where I said it is 'good to show genuine scepticism'? Or the one after that, where I linked the 'unnamed' individual's alleged GitHub?

I am not the one being overly trusting here. I think it is 'likely' that this story is true. I researched it, looked at the significant amount of evidence, and I am still not 100% convinced. That is far more than what I can say for you people replying to me en masse who all assume the story must be an American plot with absolutely no evidence to back up this claim.

Ugh, I need to figure out a way to unsubscribe from replies to a post. You people are bonkers.

Yeah, my bad. It's clear I got stuck on that one point.

disinformation has no domestic impact

Ow, my head.

A significant contributor to the deadliest man-made disaster in the history of mankind was domestic disinformation in China.

Edit: I misread the comment and didn't see the preceding word 'foreign'. In hindsight my original comment doesn't make sense given this context. I don't agree with OP's comment though. They seem to rely on the idea that, 'China is special and unique (unlike you troglodytes)', as an explanation for how the government behaves in international politics.

I think a different poster explained the CCP's sophisticated methodology better: "no u".

Hmm... To debate with a conspiracy theorist or not... Such a difficult choice.

You know what, let me try something different...

You win this debate! I concede! Although I am not an American and don't live in America, I am a stooge of the American imperialists! And yes, like the other 8.1 billion people on the planet (sans you, of course), I live on stolen land! Have mercy!

Ah, you're one of those. Nuf sed.

I won't lie, it was one of the most difficult things I ever had to do. But I survived. I also survived the next 20-30 times it happened; it doesn't seem to get any easier though.

It shames me to admit this but sometimes I have nightmares of being stuck in a never-ending loop about Boebert and Beetlejuice. The other day, I caught myself looking in the mirror, I felt like I was somehow possessed and then the words came out of my mouth involuntarily, 'Boebert, Boebert, Boebert'. I can't accurately describe the relief I felt when nothing happened. Since then, it feels like it's finally over! Finally I can breathe easy and rest in—

That's hardly the original source. The second paragraph of that article links to another source again.

It's good to show genuine scepticism to what you read, but I can't help but think yours is not particularly honest.

It is extremely clear via auditing the trail of this report that the 'crypto shill site' is negligible to the story. You would have had to go back one step in the chain, stick your fingers in your ears, then ignore everything else from that point onwards to think Coin Telegraph was actually relevant to the reporting of this story.

True or not, here you can find a clear summary, along with screenshots stamped with the seal of the Chengde PD. These screenshots, contrary to your claim, are not at all blurry, and have minimal redaction (to protect the person's privacy).

Given fairly credible and detailed screenshots of a police report, numerous reporting across a number of different websites in both Chinese and English, even a reported GitHub profile of the person in question, I think there's sufficient evidence to believe this is likely a true story.

But you do you.

Did you know some random American gun person went to a Beetlejuice play? Apparently, this is of vital importance and everyone MUST know absolutely every single move that she made that night.

From the wording in the legislation, I don't see how this 'power' is any more special than Dutton's was when he granted his mate's au pair a tourist visa despite her intentions to work unlawfully.

I have commented on this post explaining my issue with how the 'Yes' camp are using their own creative interpretation of what words mean to argue that the 'No' camp are spreading 'misinformation'. I'm not interested in having further dialogue on what 'special' means, nor 'race', nor 'power', nor 'represent'. If you are interested in my thoughts on the matter you may read my other comments here.

I don't mind taxpayer funds supporting people in need. I do mind taxpayer funds being wasted on a lengthy campaigns and pointless referendums. I am angered that there are so many people struggling to stay in shelter and feed themselves and this is what the government has deemed the priority.

I can't see myself voting 'Yes'. I do not agree with inserting (more) race based language into the Constitution and I think it inappropriate to have a body dedicated to supporting a specific race. I will likely vote 'No' rather than leave the ballot blank. It looks like the proposal will fail, and it's my hope that the numbers will be devastating enough that this pointless and divisive issue doesn't come up again for at least a couple of decades, and our useless representatives can focus their attention on matters of importance.

Who am I kidding... It's going to be that dumb republic crap next, isn't it?
