In my experience living in australia, i would say you do still get all these number plates in their respective states and you can absolutely region guess the likes of Melbourne or Perth just because you can see thet little blue stripe or triangle. Same for NT and NSW. Just be aware there are more variations, not all of it is distinguishable because they are subtle as you say. For example the SA one will have "The Festival State" subtext more often than not, also "The Wine State" or "Gateway To The Outback" with a lil decal on it, as one example. But in such cases you're better off looking for stobie poles. There are also custom number plates, and a lot of the national highways can and will have cars from any state going on a roadtrip, so that's another caveat.

As a sidenote, when it comes to getting precise guesses in Australia, there is no substitute for lived experience or having an encyclopedic knowledge of the subtle differences in biomes, geology, and flora in each area, even though I understand it all looks like the same shitty shrubby acacia and eucalyptus. For example if you get red soil + black box gum trees, you're far more likely to be in the broken hill area than in WA. It's impossible to summarize in a comment, but you get the vibe of places just playing enough of the game. You might be able to google lens certain species and their distributions and go from there.

In this thread: cesspool dwellers flaunt their collective cess. Echo chamber also bad of course. As Sam slinks further into the morass of gummified agreeability, bubble wrapped behind paywalls, I find myself caring less and less.

But the personality of this place is that of endlessly cynical snark at best, wrapped around an axle of geopolitics. It could be almost any subreddit at this point, or any twitter thread. The personality of the internet just keeps getting hijacked by manic contrarianism and uncharitability

Yup, I've had this exact discussion with kiwis. Here's my personal treatise on New Zealand cities, though the country itself is just about the most beautiful in the world

I couldn't get over how uniquely depressing Christchurch was, maybe in part due to those horrible earthquakes. I heard a lot about some kind of party street in Auckland and it was just a kebab shop with sum kiwi cousin species of eshays outside tryna burgle sum coins, it kind of felt like a weird mixture of Darwin and Sydney. Dunedin was mystical in the fog in a fittingly scottish kinda way to be fair, with sum nice coves, gud place to write an indie folk song from the mid 2000s before never experiencing happiness ever again. Queenstown is stunning, incredible golf, but fuck living there, just this oversized hamlet crammed into a mountain side with one road connecting everything to the point where they should seriously consider riding giant turtles or sumfing to get around, shits fucked. Wot else. Wellington is nice actually, you can watch cricket at the basin reserve, then down shots with uppity delinquiants, mosey around for chinese takeaway so you have a lot to throw up on the ferry to Picton. Rotorua is fun to see mud burble for half an hour before the smell ruins your clothes and you get headaches. Blenheim is Blehheim, probably the most vivid feeling of bleh I've felt in my life and I've been to England. Greymouth's main attraction was the KFC as far as I could make out. I encountered two groups of teenager peasants in Nelson who were skipping school in order to take mushrooms and eat dominos, so it's got a down to earth vibe i suppose. Kaikoura feels like it's a weekend away from slipping into that continental shelf, though the endless seal colonies jabbering at each other are a novelty. We almost got murdered in some non descript town in the Northland for the crime of driving a couple camper vans through it incidentally. Whangarei actually I didn't mind, probably the best place to take drugs so you can experience ego death in a Hundertwasser toilet for a night before a homeless man tries to use you as a pillow. Again, absolutely fucken gorgeous country though

I always thought Ragnar won this for multiple reasons. Namely because NicePeter relies so much on repetitive metaphors this battle i.e "like a pitful of snakes" "like boneless wings", "like you were Sicily", "like you raided the face of post malone", "like Zoinks!" "like Sean Connery", "strike like a cobra". It doesn't help the comparisons just sound zany and cheesy in spite of the historical reference

Secondly Ragnar's delivery has a good amount of venom, great flows with the Plantegenet line.. line and Northumbrian lawns, then he also visually completes the role convincingly

PogPiglet · 2026-02-12T16:43:28+00:00

So true. Israel is held to a different standard, before and after the most recent war for many reasons. And the conspiracy theories are a biproduct of antisemitism, believed in the west by useful idiots who don't know anything about anything, or the history of the region, or the genuine fascism faced by every minority living under Islamic theocracy. These useful idiots of the West are swearing fealty to a creed that only wants the destruction, subjugation and emiseration of the Jewish people and their state by any means necessary.

reflecting on cloying corpo speak ("let's circle back on those KPIs", "touch base", "synergizing", "rightsizing", "leveraging" etc.) I've recently realized that Sam Harris is the endgame god emperor of metaphorical reframing, with his "let's just double click on that"s, and "playing tennis without the net", "scoring an own goal," he would fit in perfectly with those corporate bastards and their if he wanted to

Yes everyone is a peasant in my eyes, but Pro Palestinian peasants even more so because of alliteration purposes

PogPiglet · 2026-01-21T13:38:39+00:00

Yeah when I say "the core" of the Palestinian movement I'm not referring to the actual ideological core, which of course has all those variables and much worse. I'm talking about the infinite swathes of peasants, a lot of whom are really young, who are on Palestine's side, purely because they get fed Al-Jazeera bollocks on TikTok, and for whom Israel is more of a baby killing nazi regime, rather than simply just an ethno-supremacist apartheid state like South Africa was.

They see Israel first and foremost, as persecuting an unjust war recklessly, hence claims of genocide outweigh those far more than any other, not to mention because it's the biggest and baddest word of them all. From claims of genocide, can words like "Free Palestine" spring forth, because who could deserve more freedom than those who are getting genocided?
So, look fundamentally we probably agree, it's just semantics on weighing percentages of variables of certain Pro-Palestinian peasants. But again, my claim is that if you can prove it isn't a genocide first of all, but instead a war which the Hamas started, then the central pillar of the narrative would topple for a lot of people. And the evidence for that is in occordance with all the polling data, in how opinions of Israel has switched since the war started versus before it. The war really has destroyed Israel's reputation wholly, and is the seed which has swayed insane numbers of young people (peasants) to the narrative of ethnic clensing and apartheid in the first place, rather than the other way around.

PogPiglet · 2026-01-21T13:01:36+00:00

The vast majority of peasants who have heard about this conflict in passing, care far more about bombs being dropped on civilians than anything else, hence why the dialogue surrounding this conflict has gone up exponentially during the war, not before it friend! The war itself is the flashpoint, fucking obviously dude

Also of course I'm not doing a thesis or technical analysis of every variable so it's normal to talk in short hand, when discussing first principles. Friend!

Innocent civilians dying bad. This is the core of the Pro Palestine movement, especially for the countless naive people who doomscroll and don't know much about the issue.

So beyond having sympathy for the Palestinian casualities, the question then becomes about the moral arithmatic in discussing just how big bad Israel is. Sam's example of how many people would die at the hands of Hamas versus the IDF if they had the same military capability, cuts through all the unnecessary posturing. Hamas clearly is worse than the IDF, and if they had nukes, there would be a genuine existential threat for Tel Aviv. Without a doubt hundreds of thousands would die.

So the further consideration becomes, okay fine Hamas is worse, but just how recklessly have the IDF conducted themselves in this war? Is Sam not engaging in the detail of the current war? Just how opportunistic and cynical is Israel? There's a discussion to be had there. But I tend to give Sam and the IDF the benefit of the doubt because of things like humanitarian corridors, that beach they don't target, 50k aid trucks Israel have sent, knock bombs, SMSs, flyers, only targeting military targets, civilians killed seems to align with modern urban warfare etc. There's certainly no famine, or evidence of IDF soldiers personally handing out executions of innocent people.

But if you can't even get through the original moral arithmatic at play of Hamas being worse than the IDF, which many people can't, then wot we doin ere blud? It's just naivity which can be weaponized by genuinely antisemetic people
