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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.
