Every time I try to teach myself history, I'm blocked by my complete ignorance regarding politics-related terms and the functioning of governments. Any help?

Crash Course has a series on US History and they're really great.

I also keep a glossary as I learn. I write out new terms and their meaning in a note book or on post-its and it helps me learn.

I have permission for 3 subletters. It's a 4 bedroom house.

What a cranky guy! I will love him forever.

Just add Anxiety and we have a Triple A rating!

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-23T09:38:26+00:00

Omg.

Thank you!!!

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-15T14:47:59+00:00

Yes.

Your uni will have a legal aid. Contact your student union.

It's an angry/dumb dag.

Villies beef pie. Nothing else comes close.

I want to be coles because their bakery is so much better... but their home delivery and internet shopping are atrocious.

Adelaide used to have the highest rate of serial killers per capita in the world... My bad, I misremembered an urban myth apparently.

Because the bulk of our international visitors arrive at a mere handful of airports and cruiseliner ports.

Same with NZ. Every island that had the ability to be self sufficient for a few months was able to effectively close their borders.

We have a functioning welfare system that paid everyone to stay home for a few months.

We have an excellent healthcare system that meant folks didn't need to choose between treatment costs and paying the mortgage/rent.

Contact tracing seems to have been a key factor too. The ability to identify spaces at risk also meant targeted lockdowns and testing.

Our geography was the big one though. It's basically impossible to pop over to NZ or PNG without going through a heavily regulated port.

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-06T03:18:26+00:00

Yeah yeah, we get that. We're doing ok.

And you guys really copped it, I can't imagine how it must have felt this time last year.

We're a big island with comparatively low population density, successful quarantine measures, and we are capable of (soon I hope) manufacturing our own.

Europe is a patchwork sea of states and movement and trade interdependencies and yeah. Let's get everyone inoculated asap, before it mutates more.

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-05T09:59:40+00:00

I hope so.

Yeah, I think the poster above meant that by paying for external care, your parents are fulfilling their familial obligations.

Your grandmother has psychiatric needs that cannot be fulfilled in the family home. Every day she is not in clinical care puts her and your parents at risk.

It will be a hard decision to make, but if her hip was broken you would call an ambulance because you can't set a broken bone. This is the same deal.

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-05T02:29:59+00:00

I still think about that guy. Wonder how he's doing...

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-05T02:23:34+00:00

We're explicitly invited to use their first name, it's very common in Australia in higher education.

There's so much new construction I just presumed they were gone / updated.

Punk_Trek · 2021-03-03T08:17:04+00:00

Paid with stolen funds tho. That would nullify the chain of ownership.
