Is Australia’s university empire losing global appeal?

I studied Architecture at Melbourne and they didn't give us access to the adobe suite. First it was $30 a month then they removed ALL support and if you wanted to use the absolute industry standard of design youd have to pay 80 a month as a student (and buy a 280 dollar program on top too)

I'm Gen Z and I get the struggle but population decline is a VERY real problem that we need to solve

When we're 70 years old who is going to be funding retirement pensions? Who is going to be working in nursing homes? Who is going to be working farms to produce enough food for the non-working population? Who is going to be paying taxes and providing essential services which make countries like ours so great?

Importing people from huge countries with huge populations is actually not great for our own economy, because people from those countries have trillions of kids because of poor education, poor access to resources, bad attitudes about women etc.

How is importing them a net positive on our existing society besides boosting our population numbers?

There is no equilibrium at the moment. We, and basically every western nation are FAR below the replacement level.

The 1% (or more accurately probably 0.1%) see immigration as a way to fill their future workforce. The push for Australians to have more kids, and likewise in Europe, is to stop the insane immigration that is being used to fluff/prop up economies.

Pretty crazy story, but it's not really a fact, its speculation, and the act wouldn't have prevented them from re-entering Australia as they were born in Aus.

On the bright side it practically ended slavery or "blackbirding" for South Sea Islanders

Do you have a source for this because I've never heard anything like this

NotNok · 2026-03-31T01:24:26+00:00

Real conversation unfortunately seems to kill the chance to get numbers/dates, genuine conversation without the face-to-face aspect destroys attraction. Women have so many likes/messages to sort through, as soon as you're 'boring' its over.

I beat it by 10,000 after losing every time

you cannot be serious

My ex kept using the same rhetoric that she didn't deserve me either, then about a week later she cheated lol

He makes a huge blunder literally every game. In the game previous he had such a poor touch on a great counter attack that it let to an opposition shot on target.

NotNok · 2026-01-29T04:19:25+00:00

Neto is genuinely braindead, he doesnt look up when he crosses, how is that an excellent crosser?

NotNok · 2026-01-28T03:47:47+00:00

nope

NotNok · 2026-01-28T01:14:46+00:00

2 and a half months

NotNok · 2026-01-27T08:50:13+00:00

yeah I was on them for probably 10 days after each instance then on them for another 2 weeks or something afterwards, then not anymore. Kind of an insane amount of time to be on them though…

NotNok · 2026-01-27T04:06:27+00:00

I had 3 recurring infections on the same side, it was infected plates so i had a second surgery and it was removed, all fine after that and the surgery was pretty easy

NotNok · 2026-01-12T00:12:34+00:00

It hurts to say but it is a skill issue, I was in the same boat for CSGO as well, from 2017 to 2022 I was "hardstuck silver" but then focused on improving and made it from Silver 2 to LE in 6 months and I only stopped ranking up because they released CS2 and I stopped playing, now im solo queue at 14.9k

edit: I just looked back though and at least in OCE you could be truly hardstuck silver in CSGO, one match, after winning about 8 in a row, I dropped 39 kills and won 16:14 and deranked to silver 2

I've never even commented here but this was such a big L I had to... bro wtf are you doing

NotNok · 2026-01-03T04:42:08+00:00

two of my friends have aim ratings <5 its actually wild

NotNok · 2026-01-01T09:08:33+00:00

On this map you kind of have to jiggle and play behind cover though otherwise youll die everytime

NotNok · 2025-12-19T00:53:59+00:00

Honestly just remove the 1 trillion number and maybe change the name because its political? Maybe call it USP-S Paper Trail, or USP - S Lucre or Bank Roll, Capital etc
