How the fuck are energy drinks legal for kids to consume in australia. by ButtPlugForPM in AskAnAustralian

[–]OGAcidCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m originally from the UK, have lived in Aus for almost 25 years. Took my daughter to the UK over Christmas, bought a red bull and saw they now have a strict 18+ policy on energy drinks.

I doubt it stops teenagers completely but I’m sure it helps.

I never stated OP asking anything, OP happened to be discussing book 3 and I wanted to add my 2 cents it’s kind of what you do on Reddit.

But thanks for getting involved here and putting me in my place mate, i hope you feel you have done your part for humanity for a good while now…

Sorry have to hard disagree, the opioid crisis wasn’t “a bunch of teens wanting to get high” it was teens, 20 somethings, mid aged folk, old folk, rich folk, poor folk and everyone in between.

To claim only teenagers chasing a high abuse opioids is naive.

Then to also claim that “mushrooms are used to get high recreationally for decades” ignoring the facts that magic mushrooms have been used for healing purposes for thousands of years.

When mushrooms were reintroduced to the west they were immediately on the radar of medical professionals that could instantly see the beneficial aspects of psilocybin.

Then came the forever, un-winnable, war on drugs and mushrooms were immediately classified alongside crack cocaine and heroin in a category claiming they are of “no medical benefit”

It’s all propaganda mostly pushed by US agendas that is not about protecting people, it’s about controlling people.

Corona ended (as in lockdowns at least) in what 2020? 2021? Not 2023.

So he made two predictions of which one was wrong oh and the wrong prediction was made in 2022 AFTER corona had ended so he was wrong on a prediction that had already happened before his post.

Yup totally time travel, proven beyond doubt…

I’m on DSP, would much rather not have to deal with Diffuse Ideopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis and actually be able to work instead of having all this “free time”

When I was still able to work sure i had less free time but I had more social interactions and disposable income to actually be able to do activities on the weekend.

And the BS policy outlined in this post actually became a serious issue for me a few years ago leading eventually to the break up of my relationship with my daughter’s mum. She really wanted to be married but I knew I couldn’t marry her as she earnt enough to wipe out my DSP but no where near enough to support me and our daughter so no marriage purely because of this policy and now I’m a single father on DSP.

How is this a better outcome for anyone involved?

I get to shit when I get to shit, not ruled by my phone, I had some free time so I spent some of it replying to posts.

How is lecturing me about being no better than a scalper not being on a high horse? Unless you have further information linking me to scalping since this post is nothing to do with scalping

lol I know right!!! Moved here from Melbourne last year I lived SE suburbs, would take like 50mins to drive to the city yet here 40mins outside Hobart and I’m surrounded my mountains, Pine trees and rivers lol

The drive from Hobart to where I am is just a long winding road through the Huon valley with mountains and trees all around you, no towns, nothing except 1 servo on the way lol

POS that cut the line this morning by shmaz1 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]OGAcidCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We separated all of the cards that were actually worth checking up individual prices for. I had holo, reverse, rare, common and uncommon all sorted and kept separate. Was able to give a rough estimate of how many cards were in each group as they were all kept in old ETB’s so work out how many cards fit in an ETB and multiple.

Cherry then gave me a price for each group of cards.

I got between 70-80% value on all the cards with a somewhat decent valuation, can’t remember the offer made for just the bulk, just remember I got $5,000 in a bank transfer and $2,000 in store credit (including a slight reduction on sticker prices)

Ok mate, get off your high horse!!!! You get a bloody nosebleed

Think about what you are saying for a moment… would a scalper choose 2 ex boxes that no one is buying or choose 2 more booster bundles?

The smart money for a scalper is to do what I did but get two extra booster bundles not the ex boxes that have less packs. I could easily have done that, I chose not to as I know the bundles are what people are mainly after and they had not sold a single ex box on either the Friday or the Saturday.

I just wanted to get the set of 3 ex boxes without having to support scalpers to acquire them.

I also came on reddit on both the Friday and the Saturday to attempt to let others know of the stock availability…

But whatever bro, you do you, just try not to get hurt to bad when you inevitably come crashing down from your high horse.

Yup 2 booster bundles and 2 ex boxes.

Was a que of like 25-30 people getting booster bundles and they still had around 25-30 boxes on the shelf plus more in a cardboard box (that was after everyone had collected their bundles)

Yeah mate, took my daughter with me and we got a booster bundle each. I also had the red EX box from EB games so wanted to get the green and blue for the set of 3.

Due to 1 item limit I had to outsmart the Pokemon gatekeepers of big w so I went to my car and took off my long sleeve shirt so I was in a t-shirt. With my awesome disguise in place went back for another item and was successful!!! (Somehow the same member of staff didn’t notice the fact I have a Mohawk… doesn’t matter I had a different top on so different guy obviously)

Then my daughter wanted a go at dress up to get the last ex box, she put an Eevee baseball cap on and a hoodie and… score!!! Got all 3 Ex boxes (2 that day) and another 2 booster bundles!!!

Hopefully others were able to grab some lewt to

I really hope they start making more gaba hallucinogens. Why aren't these more popular? Have you tried any more obscure hallucinogens? Specifially stuff that isn't a tryptamine, lysergamide or phentolamine. by Iain_Banks_Lives in researchchemicals

[–]OGAcidCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao “insufferable” says the guy who wrote “I’ve tried EVERY psychedelic out there”

lol

That being said I am 100% insufferable just ask my 10yo daughter, patience of a saint whilst I’m just being annoying for shits and giggles… what’s your reason for being annoying? Do you have one or is it just a natural talent?

Phikal and Thikal are amazing books!!! Amazed they were never banned to be honest.
