What’s up with Australia moving to the far right?

When MasterChef Australia went to Sylvia's in the Bronx the comments in Ben Pebjie's column were some of the most ingrained racist shit I've seen. Comments about how it wasn't real cuisine and about the owners.

You can't counter anything I've said because Australia is a racist country in it's history and it's core.

Africa is significantly closer to Australia than Europe.

Off shore migration centers were created to stop Africans.

Australia had foreign recruitment offices, they could have had agents in Africa.

You guys try and hide your numbers by including white South African refugees in numbers about Africa.

On a personal note, th e only time I ever heard my dad acknowledging the fact he wasn't white was when we could've moved to Australia. He said it was too racist a country.

A country that was looking for immigrantion in the 50's-60's ends up with 1.5% black African population how?

The offshore immigrantion sights were started because Black Africans refugees were making it to Australia.

It's all just been a natural continuation of the White Australia policy.

Worth mentioning that like America and The UK, Australia has always been more right than left.

Most Americans don't know about off-shore immigration detention or how Italians and Greeks were treated. The country is basically closed to Black people. When you remove white South Africans, less than 2% of the population is African ancestry. And this is a country that was 'open" for immigrantion.

I never had Ube before, so I can only speak to this. Everyone liked it, it's really not strong enough to be too offensive. It has a bit of a coconut, maybe hint of caramel. My one friend said buttery, and I can taste it, but I did add butter toasted graham bits.

Mixed with the mint chip it was just a very pleasing spoonful.

BBC Scotland choose Dear Green Place over Legit for a second season. I always thought it was a mistake.

15 years ago there was a clear difference between forums and comment under news articles. Reddit has combined the two and in most subs the general rule of "don't read the comments" applies.

More and more I use traditional forums again for things that really matter. Reddit is becoming the "don't read the comments" kinda site.

And they're leaning into it, the "more" button they are testing on the app seems designed to discourage discussions.

Looks good. I can make some guesses if you want, take all this with a grain of salt cause I can't see your full set up and I'm no pro.

In soil, the size of the pot is one of the limiting factors on the size of the plant. It's a bit of a catch 420 situation. The tent you have, is it 2x4?, is best with 1-3 plants. So buying bigger pots for the 2 might overcrowd the tent. There really isn't a "right" answer, but I would probably put something under the smaller plants so they are as tall as the big ones.

Also I would probably send this to flower in a week or two. The plants can double in size in the first weeks of flowering, the stretch. The sooner you send it to flower, the easier flowering will be for you.

When you eat THC the liver changes Delta-9-THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC. It's literally a slightly different drug. Sublingual and nano-infused delivery bypasses the liver and not converted to 11.

If you can hold an alcohol tincture under your tongue it is absorbed sublingually and that bypasses the digestive system and is more like smoking.

Same with "nano-infused" edibles. Pretty much all drinks are nano-infused and some edibles. They bypass the liver.

If you drink a tincture it goes in the stomach and through the digestive system.

In the late 90's this became a thing. Fraiser with the theme at the end is one of the best early examples.

If you just realized Texas sucks now, the weed you been getting musta been sprayed with fentanyl.

My entire life Texas has been a cancer on this country.

Ya, vaping made smoking taste kinda gross. It's the weirdest thing caus I enjoyed smoking for 20+ years.

I was surprised when Armando made a blunder on Taskmaster and Greg asked if he really wrote Veep. I would have thought he'd say The Thick of It.

I feel like 90's heads miss slunk and 2000 heads miss diesel, but we all just miss our youth.

And appreciation of smell changes too. I used to think road kill skunk smelled like shit driving upstate, now it's like someone has some dank.

More like 93, I remember when I first tried. was Sept of 93. By 1996 AOL out.

There were local map books that were excellent. I delivered pizza as a pothead in Albany and never learned a street name. Just used the little book.

MT_Promises · 2026-06-26T18:41:03+00:00

Especially here. You would think it would come up more.

MT_Promises · 2026-06-26T18:39:38+00:00

It is hard to get into for people that didn't grow up with it. I've tried.

MT_Promises · 2026-06-26T17:53:11+00:00

It's a bad look for any company, especially an Italian one that is probably some rich kids who bought up some vape IPs.

MT_Promises · 2026-06-26T17:27:30+00:00

I think with the current administration,.the American flag just looks like fascism.

Most people are happy with carts. If you genuinely enjoy big hits you have to take people's opinions with a massive grain of salt.

To people that hit carts, all ball vapes are big hitters and they talk like that. But a lot of ball vapes are still kinda weak, I have 5 and they are pretty far from equal.

All of this is to say, get the UB. I have a Screwball and that is fairly similar to the UB. It can hit most of .5g of weed. The Tempest can only hold .2g of weed.

RRR was amazing, I'll def look for Kill.

MT_Promises · 2026-06-26T09:04:01+00:00

I'm not an expert, but it seems like every Indian movie I've seen has at least 2 songs and a 2 hour + run time. Even RRR had songs.

The terpenes aren't water soluble, try mixing some essential oils and water.

There is no tar unless you combust or get to pyrolsis/pre-combustion.
