I quite like riling up Australian monarch simps by calling Charles a "foreigner" and saying that I have nothing against him and "would happily grant him a tourist visa". It takes mere minutes for them to (incorrectly) assume I'm a foreign-born Australian, and make racist comments.

amp.abc.net.au/article/1053... I used to know a fellow who lived near here. His main job only happened during the tourist season. If there was more tourist accommodation fighting to get tourists down there in winter, perhaps his main job could be year-round.

forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/2.... Sad day! AFP was amazing for early Macs. It "just worked", with computers and network printers and other services being able to see and recognise and connect to each other with zero pre-configuration. In 1991!

We've only been doing clinical trials with this plant for 60 years, nowhere near long enough to find medical benefits yet </sarcasm> I've got news for you, mate - if they are prescribing cannabis for medical conditions without reasonable evidence for efficacy, it's not "medicinal cannabis" at all.

Who could have guessed that "medicinal" cannabis would be rife with abuse? WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED, IT'S A MYSTERY

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05... They are drug dealers. Worse than Purdue Pharma. In some other countries, these evil "doctors" and "pharmacists" would be hanged; in Australia we don't even deregister them for writing a script every 4 minutes or dispensing multiple drugs per minute.
