For the next three months, they remained in contact, before she said the groom invited her to a "white party" in Sydney in December, the court heard. She said after arriving at the venue she was "shocked" to learn the man had "organised a wedding".

The bride said she became uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but the groom told her "it was a simple prank".

"He told me that he's organising a prank wedding for his social media. To be precise, Instagram, because he wants to boost his content and wants to start monetising his Instagram page."

In court, footage of the ceremony was played, showing the couple exchanging vows and rings.

While the bride appeared to "enthusiastically" participate in the ceremony, she told the court it was "all an act".

"We had to act to make it look real," she said.

She said she only discovered the "sham" wedding was legal after he asked her to add his name to her application for permanent residency. She said the groom told her he was not a permanent resident and he had "organised the marriage to help him".

But the groom – who has 17,000 followers on Instagram but denied he was a social media influencer – disputed her version of events.

He testified that immediately after they met, he had told her he was bisexual, and that she was "cool with it" and moved into his home.

>bby I'm a bisexual illegal immigrant but I am NOT an influencer

"Precisely why she would participate in a civil marriage and not in a church marriage ceremony went unexplored. It made no sense to me that she would."

Stupid boomer judge, she did it for the 'gram!

Ugh, if only I could catch whoever does this (edit: not pick-up their dog poop) at my place! (237)

Get a doorbell camera. After I shared on our subdivision's FB page that we had one, no more dog poop in our front yard. (346)

That cat hates you because of something you did, not because it's just a cat. For a cat to specifically target your home- nah bro you're the problem. This isn't petty revenge at all- it's catnapping. Do better at life and maybe cats will like you (-127)

I have mulch, I sprinkled vinegar, I grew green onions, I tried motion activated sensors, I sprinkled pepper, I put down pointy rocks, I ran the gamut to deter the cat. (1389)

In my world not only are you the AH you are also the lowest lifeforms and a world class POS. (-106)

Why kill the cat because it's owner's an idiot? I guess we're all just living in your world and need to adapt or perish. (-53)

why risk your cat getting poisoned, hit by a car, sick, infected, infested, killed by other feral cats, killed by a dog, killed by a coyote, killed by a bird of prey, killed by a fox, killed by a raccoon, killed by a human, killed by a prey animal fighting back, or getting lost or trapped? (15)

People like you are why society is so miserable. He already tried talking to the neighbor who couldn't care any less. Quit making excuses for shitty pet owners who have no regard for their neighbors! (-4)

No, cruel, emotionally unsafe humans as YOURSELF make this world a worse place. How unkind of a human you must be, I feel bad for those around you. You have no empathy.OP, is also a horrible person. He literally sentenced a cat to death. That cat will be put down within a week at a kill shelter. All shelters this time of year are at full capacity. The cat did nothing wrong and now will die terrified after being taken from his home and locked in a 5x5 cage until he's sentenced to death. You are literally saying OP was RIGHT to do this then you have the nerve to insult the person above and call them "miserable" for having empathy. This is a living breathing animal who experiences pain and hurt and loss and was doing cat things, and was raised by a bad cat owner so it's not his fault, yet being sentenced to death for being who he was created to be.

Where the heck do you live? Basically all outdoor cats I have ever known were at least 15 when they died. Do people shoot them in your neighborhood or something like that? (17)

Your personal anecdotes don't really mean anything. But since you are bringing them up, I live in a city/suburb where people "own" outdoor cats. We do not shoot cats, we don't poison cats, we don't have coyotes patrolling the area. I see a cat plastered on the road literally every single week. I literally only travel the same roads (2 miles) ever. So this one single path has around 30-60 dead cats a year. I had an outdoor cat get killed right in front of my house as a child by a car at night. The cats fight each other, they are killed by cars, diseases, etc. I'm not sure how old the outdoor cats live because usually one day they're just gone, don't really have any bodies to find. The statistics tell the same story, so for every 15 yo outdoor cat you know, I know 50 dead young cats on the street. Horrible sight to see literal kittens dead for no other reason than humanity who let them end up like this. (14)

A very questionable appointment by @realDonaldTrump. @sriramk’s pet issue is expanding the H-1B visa program and removing country cap quotas for Green Cards.

The Republicans are partly doing this as revenge against the bigtech anti-Trumpers but also because the VC douches that backed Trump want cheap labor.

Do you think the Democrats that work at all the bigtech are going to pivot right on immigration in the coming years after getting replaced?

Looks like it if you look at the coding subreddits.

This is extremely unfair :C

He's one of my best friends

I feel so sad

Friends mom used to give her stuff that would make me cry and call my mom to come home. In college, there were "poop teas"—don't remember the real name, that made you feel like you were giving birth.

Fifteen years later, I looked for laxatives for unrelated reasons, and found everything to be "gentle" and "overnight"?

What happened to all of the good laxatives? I'm at the age where it might be functionally beneficial to have an exorcism of my butthole, and they've taken it from me.

are recreational laxatives a thing?
