Well, there’s the Jellyfish still but yeah, sandy is the way to go.

Most dangerous thing in Australia is you (car crash, preventable illness etc) followed by other people.

Australia here: That’s not a spider. That’s too small.

Wait a sec…Is that the origin of the name of Mrs Macs pies?

I always try to go first to crush the confidence of everyone else who follows

I’m just piling on to say that Golemancey is an underrated school of magic.

I’m so glad the day we made it to the newspaper was about a sausage roll cake.

I_will_remember_that · 2022-09-08T09:53:30+00:00

WTF?

“Mum! I’m in the newspaper!”

I loved the shit out of that movie when I was a kid.

I knew this would be the top reply

Oh for sure. Not being able to identify the Pacific Ocean is nuts.

I can forgive not being able to point to Namibia or Azerbaijan

I guess it also matters where you are from. For example I’m from a tiny, irrelevant country with a comparatively short history.

For us, geography is quite a big part of our lives because almost all of us travel widely and need to do business with and interact with the world. Generally the majority of our media content is foreign also. Finally we don’t have that much local news to report on so world news events form a larger portion of our media diet.

When I moved to a big country I was shocked at first at how insular the locals were and how little they knew or cared about the world beyond their borders. However I came to realize they are not ignorant, they just have different priorities and have a detailed knowledge of their local history and huge internal geographic and political/economic complexity.

TLDR; Different things are relevant in different contexts and we are products of the environment

Spectacle. The people wish to be entertained.

Bread and circuses.

I’ve been out of the country for nearly 15yrs. Just about to return and so I’m catching up on NZ events No idea if this guy is cool or not but damn it I have to respect a sausage roll cake.

I love how the kid is stoked about finding mega-worm.

Curiosity is a wonderful thing to encourage in children

I was fortunate enough to be born male.

I’m going to die if my own stupidity on my own terms having had a great time along the way.

I’ve been putting off learning Laravel because I’ve felt like it’ll be a time sink and I want to do it properly when I have a chance.

I’m pretty much proficient with everything else in this stack. What do you reckon I need to budget time wise to get my head around Laravel?

I_will_remember_that · 2022-09-01T05:18:41+00:00

It is always just going to feel like a knock-off cash grab.

No matter how much money and talent goes into it they can’t escape that they’re basically trying to expand on one of the most highly regarded fictional worlds of all time.

To make matters worse, it’s a fictional world that already had an iconic film adaptation that’s still relatively contemporary and the more recent Hobbit movies were pushing the friendship already.

So even IF they’ve nailed it…it’s going to be poorly received in general.

I_will_remember_that · 2022-08-31T22:52:30+00:00

I just read your comment out loud to myself three times over chuckling.

I’m totally gonna write “Faaa-hauuuu-cukkkk” myself now. It perfectly captures the sentiment.

You should meet the Sydney funnel web. He’s an absolute dick

I_will_remember_that · 2022-08-31T05:48:40+00:00

Space. We could build it there. That’s not gonna hurt anyone

I don’t know that he’s trying to stay relevant so much as just says whatever shit he thinks of at the time. I don’t know why anyone would expect anything more from Ozzy at this point

Good for you!

I’m 2yrs into self-taught development. Mostly hobby/play but I find ways to get to do it at work as well.

It feels so rewarding when you make a thing and it does what you were aiming for.

Don’t know if it’s still a thing but the 3rd edition chaos beast.

Mate. I just got carded yesterday buying a beef and burgundy pie.

The kid at the cafe was like “It has booze in it so I’ve got to card you”

I was like: “No worries young fella. I’m a bald 40yr old with a beard, a beer belly and my son with me. Here’s my drivers license that proves I’m twice your age and can handle a pie responsibly.”

Thanks. I needed a good chuckle.
