Its even funnier that people have started censoring words that bring the bot

I feel like that's probably the worst part of it, that the body can go from being perfectly fine to being unable to handle something when nothing else in your life changed to provoke it

Yeah its not that uncommon to see people diagnosed with an intolerance well into adulthood. I have a relative who developed/found out they had a gluten intolerance in their 60s. You're already cutting it out of your diet and it sounds like its working so its not that urgent to get a scope, but I feel like having that confirmation of what's going on can help with knowing exactly what you can have/can't have in your diet

I agree, once you get through the story its hard to go back

Fuckin Torys. Its not urgent or anything, but a scope can diagnose/rule out lactose or gluten intolerance, and rule out other things. If there's a way to get on a waiting list or something that won't cost money, I think its worth it.

I saw about 20 seconds of the Patriot Act and had to turn it off because he came off as such a smug arrogant lib. This article tracks with that

Have you had a scope done?

I am leaning towards voting yes on this but this is not going to be a significant change for anything in Australia. The Indigenous/First Nations people I know have decided they will vote no because they find it too insulting. This isn't addressing the problems Indigenous people face and is going to be used as a political tool to further legitimise the colonial government we have. The people chosen for the Voice to Parliament body are likely not to represent the needs of the Indigenous people. On the other hand, this might be the first time we might get to see Indigenous people voicing their opinions with a national audience. For example, it could be used to talk about Treaty or the disgusting shit we do to the environment.

Most people are not well informed, so they are voting on this based on the advertised idea that this is a big step towards Indigenous representation in parliament. So, with 40% of the population born overseas and having experienced being a minority in this country, you'd think this would be a slam dunk win for the yes vote, yet its struggling. I feel like this says a lot about this country.

Does anyone have an answer to why there's furrys who are essentially fascists? Is it gaming culture taking over their lives or?
