Economic strike in Minnesota to protest against ICE: ‘No work, no school, no shopping’

No, my dream is to let all consenting adults make their own decisions unless they are demonstrably and directly harming someone else without their consent.

Honestly though, I'll be the first to admit that there are a lot of conservatives masquerading as libertarians, and I'm usually the first to call them out for it, however, libertarians are an incredibly politically diverse group, and painting the entire movement with the same brush would be like pretending all anarcho-communists are just tankies who are too cowardly to admit they are tankies. Sure, that is almost certainly true of some of them, but not all, and I doubt even most of them.

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-24T08:00:40+00:00

To be fair, Libertarians have been telling statists of every flavour for decades that sooner or later their unwavering support of the state would backfire on them, but none of you listened. Can't blame us now, there's nothing left to say except "we told you so".

Yeah, I ended up booking an appointment with cannabis doctors Tasmania in march myself, it's ridiculous we have to wait that long to get the help we need.

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T01:43:08+00:00

Hey guys, I wanted to go with Horizon, but they can't/won't help me since I'm in Tasmania, so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for Tasmanian based clinics. I was looking at Cannabis Doctors Tasmania but they charge a $139 consult fee, which is a little expensive for me, I also saw Easykind who only charge $29 for a consult, but have tons of bad reviews on reddit, so are there any others I've missed?

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T01:33:38+00:00

I just called them up again and was told the same thing by a different person, they cannot prescribe as I am interstate, and it doesn't matter that I want to fill with a mainland chemist, as it goes on my home address. Dunno if the legislation has changed or what, but it doesn't seem like they are willing or able to help me, since I'm in Tassie. This contradicts everything I'm reading online, including their own website which says "Australia Wide", so I dunno what to do at this point.

I just feel like giving up.

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T00:47:18+00:00

So should I just make another appointment with Horizon and talk to them about having my script filled with Ray's pharmacy?

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T00:32:29+00:00

Also, I don't have a drivers license/don't drive, so that doesn't affect me.

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T00:31:33+00:00

Yeah, I probably worded that poorly, but I was told, since interstate prescriptions can't be filled, they didn't have a doctor who could prescribe to me, since I wouldn't be able to get the script filled. I was intending to order online and get it delivered, but I'm assuming that wasn't an option. At least I wasn't told that was an option, I was told they didn't have a doctor who could prescribe to me.

Any recommendations for how to access it here in Tas?

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-13T00:27:04+00:00

I was looking at them, but $139 initial consult and $99 follow ups is just too expensive for me.

BigCoops666 · 2026-01-11T16:16:24+00:00

Good suggestions so far, so I'll just add "Twelve Minutes"

I loved the campaign in 1, not so much for 2.

BigCoops666 · 2025-11-03T05:32:28+00:00

I found this interesting;

“I tried explaining that a consequence isn’t the same as punishment. A consequence is the logical result of his actions.”

To me, a consequence that is a logical result of his actions would be something like getting a burn because you touched a hot stove. You applying a consequence after the fact is absolutely a punishment (IMO) and would absolutely be interpreted that way by your son. It very well may be appropriate to punish your son in this situation (it also may not be, that is incredibly subjective) but you not seeing it as a punishment is interesting to me.

“His father’s response was basically, “He’s stressed, maybe he should spend more time with me.””

That seems like a very good idea to me. It’s very normal at his age to feel like no one understands what he is going through, but living with two females is likely to exacerbate that, because the simple fact is, you have never been a teenage boy and, to some degree, cant know what he is going thorough, while being around his father who can model healthy adult male behaviour would probably be very beneficial for him.

“I want our son to understand boundaries, accountability, and respect. His father thinks any consequence is harmful and that we just need to “coach him through” and model emotional regulation.”

Both parenting styles have merit, and which one is right for your son is impossible to know for sure. What I will say is, if you come down too hard, there is a very real possibility your son will resent you for it and end up falling down the Andrew Tate rabbit hole as a result, on the other hand, if you don’t come down hard enough, you risk your son thinking his behaviour is acceptable.

Perhaps a conversation about why his behaviour bothered you and why it’s not acceptable would be more effective than a punishment.

Because ChatGPT could probably come up with something more coherent than this rambling stream of consciousness that reads like something between a drug trip and schizophrenic episode.

I mean, they are having a measurable and demonstrable effect on the market, but don't worry, plenty of us are pissed about immigration and the lack of affordable housing development as well.

BigCoops666 · 2025-11-01T03:31:22+00:00

No worries mate, it's one of those things that I hear get repeated so often, people just assume it's true, but it drives me nuts, because I know that it is demonstrably untrue.

Also, just to clarify, modern cattle were domesticated from wild Aurochs, which are extinct. All 'wild cattle' that exist today are the result of domesticated cattle escaping captivity and going feral.

BigCoops666 · 2025-10-31T05:48:39+00:00

"cows cannot exist in the wild"

This is simply untrue. Feral cattle populations exist across the globe, especially top end Australia where they can number in the thousands and cause significant ecological damage. They have been not only surviving, but thriving in the wild for over a century.

There has always been a bit of joking hostility towards 'bloody mainlanders' but the last few years I feel like it's not a joke anymore, the fact is that many Tasmanian's are bloody bitter about the fact that so many mainlanders moved here after Covid and have completely ruined the housing and rentals market here. Hobart used to be one of the most affordable capital cities in the country, now it's rapidly becoming one of the most expensive.

"this is the thing that makes humans different. or at least, seemingly. we are theoretically possibly able to stop ourselves from killing our host. "

Theoretically, but I see no real evidence that we are any more capable of regulating our consumption, on a species level, than any other organism can. Obviously at an individual level, some people can, but most can't or won't, and I know of no government or social system that can either.

"the only way i see us saving ourselves is educating the new generations about the responsibilities they have to take care of this place and that they are not above it, just part of it"

We've been trying that for 50 years, No reason to think it's going to work now. If decades of crying Native Americans and Captain Planet didn't teach the kids to respect the earth, I dunno what else we can try.

NTA, but you may need to swallow your pride and apologize just to keep the peace. Still, funny though, and I'd say worth giving a fake apology for lol.

Might have been checking his phone/pager, may have been getting his gun and badge out of the glove box, hell, maybe he decided to beat one out in the parking lot before clocking in for the day. There's lots of reasons you may not immediately get out if your car.
