Everything looks rainbow whenever I sit down at my computer but I thought I bought a non lgbt led case.

I guess this explains it.

This was inevitable and forseen.

Realistically recreational drugs can't be priced out of existence. Stuff like plain packaging is fantastic, more funding to help addicts quit would be good (e.g. naltrexone pbs trials) would be nice.

At a certain point you just have to accept not getting 100% of people off them, and recreational drugs are the place for a government monopoly so there's no profit incentive to undermine cessation efforts.

the military industrial complex promoting militarisation? Now I've seen everything.

This account seems to only post news stories critical of the Chinese government, I only noticed after the three posted here in such a short time.

That's not a comment on their accuracy, just be aware the poster is deliberately spreading propaganda with a very narrow focus.

See 4Chan, the_donald, gamersriseup etc. If pretending to be fash is the joke you can't remove actual fash.

I don't browse all much but when I do I see "jokes" about how killing people is cool and good if the government that claims dominion over you says that the government that claims dominion over them is the enemy.

NCD is a disgusting community anyway. You're not missing much

I dunno, byd has some pretty 'budget' entries for sale elsewhere.

what does this have to do with what my wife and I would want?

I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬

I want this to be true so bad. The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌

Axe the rear seats and this is something my wife and I would likely love when the dogs have died.

We take our kona electric in some pretty silly places but I've nearly gotten stuck a couple of times in muddy gravel having only 2WD and lowish clearance restricting some of the paths we can take.

Hoping to do some long arse road trips across the desert in the next couple of decades.

So this might have been the case however:

• Australia maintains a strategic stockpile for events like this.
• There was at one point no evidence masks stopped spread (after all, we didn't know how it spread). Some people touted this as evidence masks don't stop spread. This is a perversion of how evidence works and a very silly thing to think.
• You cannot change messages and expect people to keep trusting you. you need to be honest.

Australia's readiness had been criticised for years, indeed it used to be one of the ways I bored everyone stupid at house parties when I got political. If the stockpile of masks was insufficient this was massively forseeable, although I think it was actually adequate and the pollies were just reckless idiots for panic reasons.

Idk where you experienced it but I did not get the impression of party politics taking a back seat.

Federally the LNP played with misinformation (e.g. children can't spread it, a completely absurd statement) in order to push on with their business first agenda. Ultimately instituting a deeply corrupt and flawed bastard welfare measure that was terminated early. Not to mention losing vaccine deals because of arrogant pride.

In NSW the LNP favoured the rich east, and played politics with masks. Notably Dom being photographed outside without a mask. They literally deployed the military on westies while being like "oops lmao" every time someone from liberal heartland caused an outbreak.

I was absolutely disgusted with the cowardice, contradictory statements (don't use masks, wait use masks, don't go out, now go out, oops go back), and venal politicking. It is completely unsurprising that despite the admirable performance by the APS and existing strategic stockpiles trust in government was utterly annihilated.

JSO continuing to be awesome in every single way.

Welcome to the future bwahahahaha.

Two things can be true. The lack of transparency exhibited by the chinese government is at best extremely suspicious. Also we're not doing too hot, have a very dark history with white supremacy, and the treatment of asylum seekers is crimes against humanity that some people should absolutely face justice for.

Do you or have you ever worked in science? I did for a bit and that was not my impression.

One cannot really argue that science as practiced is very effective at certain things but it is also extremely far from being objective in practice. Especially the further you stray from simple physical systems.

Also like I never saw someone formulate a hypothesis in any sort of formal sense haha.

The SDA is thoroughly captured.

Honestly I'd rather not imagine it as it sounds unpleasant. I'd rather make silly jokes about phones and move on with my life because investing time worrying about one person who was fine in the end seems less fun than telling jokes.

Phones continue to have unprecedented health consequences.

initially spent an hour attempting to free her while she was hanging upside down before they called triple zero for help,

on one hand, that's confidence in your own abilities so cool. On the other, holy shit that's a long time to wait before deciding to call in expertise and equipment.

Her phone could not be recovered

Grief hangs heavy over the triumph of rescue.
