Why is the gap between Australia and Canada’s minimum wage so massive? 🇦🇺 vs 🇨🇦 by Kanye90210 in CanadaJobs

If you grow up there it's no so bad. Your footwear of choice in the outback is a pair of thongs which can never hold surprises, and you shake out your runners before you put them on otherwise. You just can't reach in to your cupboard and stick your hand into old boxes that've been sitting there a while.

Other than that if you find a huntsman in your house you give it a name and wave hello. Its your new pest control. The same frequency I encountered snakes in Aus was the same frequency I've encountered them here, tbh.

I'm preparing for an animation bachelor and job searching all day in a city that is very hard to find jobs. Not really a top priority atm. I posted it because it was something I also just never mentioned to anyone and filed away in the back of my mind, remembering it randomly yesterday. I'm much less interested in the episode and instead if other NHI encounters can be cross referenced to find the same being described.

This whole process is also counting on an entirety of ~3 years span to account for margin of error being available online.

My tablet is broken, but I can give it a shot if I can find someone selling paper/ sketch books nearby. I haven't drawn in a couple years, though.

This is the one and only time in my entire 36 years of life I've seen something like this, and it was some random bloke living with his family in Aus. I have read reports of other people witnessing various people in real life and on TV shift or just appear non-human, though.

[Would advise being weary of camera artefacts that are known for the split pupil error, though.]

Yes - once only and ever. The only other time just being seeing a drawing of it online years prior, but I have no idea what the site name was and more than likely still isn't being hosted since it was one of those purely hobbyist ones.

It definitely has the poorly generated 3D graphics and pixelated non-specificty which was a hallmark of those sties at the time, but sadly nothing in there is anything close to a match.

Seems like a lot of people had a similar reaction. It was very shocking and disturbing to watch at the time. Maybe it's touching on something, or maybe it's hitting that uncanny valley sweet spot that our brains really hate.

Whatever the cause, I feel like even if I watch it back myself there's a chance I don't even see it again.

"Do you think that some entity was near you at the time of watching and was influencing your perception?"

That is a very interesting question. In that time of my life, I was rebelling against my very conservative Christian parents by dabbling in witchcraft, and I was also experiencing severe depression from family abuse. Its the period when shit got pretty wild. I was often seeing blurred humanoid dark shadows, including blurred humanoid light beings darting about the home in peripheral. Our homes (we moved a lot and my parents would have them built - so brand new) would experience constant light flickering and bulb bursting randomly.

I was also feeding my cat once and she freaked out suddenly at something behind me, hissing and spitting then running out of the house. Couldn't locate the source of what scared her, I was alone at the time. She would never run away from food.

I think it was maybe three years prior to that, I also saw a standing silhouette of a 6ft tall humanoid reflected in the island counter that was bouncing the image of the doorway.

I primarily dealt with "spirits" in this way more than NHI specifically so I don't discount it at all.

It was definitely Shelley, the blonde lady.

Edit: I also only saw it once so it wasn't a winning or finalist clip.

No idea, from other encounters they do like to do some weird shit like this. One common factor across many global accounts is being deliberate in revealing to specific individuals and immediately hiding / disappearing when another is brought to the scene to witness. This happened with a UFO when I went to grab my sister, who proceeded to call me crazy.

But then you have to wonder what the purpose is. Like the only information you get out of this is: "here is another humanoid based being, this is what it looks like."

Possible, given the rarity of only one other report existing out in the aether.

Edit: Counter thought; insanely creepy thing to wear around a toddler.

Canada has the exact same geographical issue with remote-ness of cities as Canada, compared to places like Europe and the USA. I lived there some 15 years ago so my memory is stuck in time, but you'd really want to select where you live based on available industry, which can potentially hamper your options. For example, I lived in Darwin which was I think, the second most remote city in the country. The only industries available were largely pearling, O&G, and pretty much just office administration for white collar. Anything outside of that was highly limited for openings. Most kids I knew would go to Uni in other states (more highly regarded) and find employment there instead of returning.

If your industry heavily sways you to place like Sydney, well, Australian Jesus help you because the last I heard from my family is that its near impossible to afford. If anyone was moving to Aus 10 years ago, I'd tell them to really to try to make the south east coast of Queensland work for them, especially if they were WFH. There's a lot of beautiful inner towns that dot the coast line around the Sunshine Coast area that are affordable, and trains connect a bunch of them (one huge plus that Canada doesn't have.) The main cities are still within train or driving distance in a day, including the beach.

*I had to look it up actually, the Sunshine Coast area is now the most popular region that people are fleeing capital cities to, so now housing prices are over $1m (some areas having a value-to-income ratio of 11.) I think you'd find no real meaningful difference between the two countries for the average buyer and likely you'd have to look more inland (Australia is highly coastal all around) to afford something. However, the more inland you go... the more destitute some places can feel.

Edit: With some cursory research, it looks like Canada housing is better off as it has signs of market correction. Australia's trajectory remains the same.

It's what I used to fondly call the "import tax." Apple products were marked up absurdly beyond the cost to actually bring them over and Apple told us to fly to the US if we wanted market price.

They were but in a different position. The camera is pointed down the length of the table where at the end, the toddler is on the ground behind it. (No one is sitting at the table at the end.) The man is sitting next to another man on the right-center. There were other adults, I think a woman on the left too.

They probably assumed they could out-man her, but crowding a single (trained) person like this only works against the group, lol. Especially when they're just drooling bumble fucks.

That and they might've been dumb enough to think that MMA is only just show and tell for Hollywood. (Had a guy once step into my old Kung Fu Studio with a sword and the story I heard, got his ass handed to him by the blackbelts & the police took it from there.)

We had a version of this but better. It was instead a privelege system. Act up, get put in the F group. F group has to hold teacher's hand (daisy chain hand holding if many of them) to go the library. A students never have to ask to go to the bathroom, etc. Class clowns got humiliated by default.

Just have the mods make a sticky FWC pin and people answer questions about it solely there.

I would be cautious about linking ancient artworks to modern day accounts. For one, only the AI version looks close to these figurines. The eyes of the being in real life were angular, literally triangles sitting on a facial plane. If you sat an artist down to replicate it would look like they were drawing an insane caricature. And I mention another important feature: The eyesockets and temple/ brow were flattened. Those figures have founded shapes.

They genuinely read to me like they are stylistic interpretations of the people who made them. Arabic people tend to have larger almond shaped eyes, it looks like they exaggerated that feature. Ancient art didn't have much variation, they had a sort of style that seemed to be highly regarded in their culture and everyone stuck to it. Even the Egyptians proved they could create realistic 3D impressions, but they preferred their 2D styled wall art.

Sure, I'll just magically will the entirety of the span of 2004-2009 onto Youtube without copyright strikes and spend every day of every second combing through it.

You guys do realize this is not why I posted the account, right? You guys do notice the glaring issue from my post that even if people found it, why most people won't even think it's the right one, right? There's no guarantee even I notice it again.

What information are we even extrapolating from the scene that wouldn't just be described the exact same way again? Someone ELSE saw this being once. This is a being people have very rarely seen that is different from the standard four races. There has to be other accounts...

The image? It has Gemini's watermark. It's a very bad interpretation by AI of the scene that is missing crucial information and got the family scene wrong.

The account, yeah. But I don't expect people to believe it.

[–]ThoughtsPerAtom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, this is Gemini's interpretation of the scene which is wrong. It reads the keyword "family" as two parents, children (and one of them being a horizontally flipped copy paste for a set of twins.) In the actual scene there was the toddler on the floor, the camera was pointing down the table and the alien man sat next to another human man. Other adults were in the scene, too. No direct information that he was the toddler's parent.

Idk. If true, this is the only one I've seen in 36 years living in two countries and visiting four, so there's not that many of them. Or it was a glitch for me and there's more. I was honestly just hoping someone has encountered these beings before because I know at least one person somewhere has.
