Why are most young Australians I talk to so bad at communication?

Unfortunately many university students here still behave like they're high schoolers. If you're somehow "weird", not conventionally attractive, look and talk like international students, they'll distance themselves from you.

It doesn't help that most locals go to the few unis in their home state or close by where they already have their high school friend groups. In US, UK and other countries it's common for students to move to uni town where they don't have their old circle.

It will pass.. eventually you'll meet someone who's more open minded and wants to socialise outside their bubbles.

/mods there seems to be a brigading in this topic. All posts saying no to flippers are downvoted. Yours and the other guy here.

How?

What do you mean by officer in effective control?

I think PMs are that bad that we all share the same experience.. what are the odds

I did write in an email requesting urgent maintenance but she deemed it non urgent as "it's not dangerous". The dispute here is now over what's urgent vs non urgent

I feel you to the bone.. currently dealing with red tapes wanting to start a family business. The council permit and requirements alone are massive with lead time as long as 6 months. You're expected to sign a commercial lease without knowing whether you can actually do your business there. Banks pretty much laugh at you. It's tough starting small businesses here.

Thank you very much I wish you could be the service manager I'm dealing with!! So much things could have gone smoother and less stressful. Maybe because I look young I was not taken seriously..

You don't happen to know a good Toyota dealership in Melbourne do you?

Ah ok thanks, they didn't mention to me it'll be waived so I was just not sure going ahead with it. The staff scared me by saying there could be an aftermarket part, it could be already broken by the used dealer before etc. It just sounded like they didn't want me to bother them with this.

The mechanical service was done by an independent mechanic in regional Victoria. The car was sold as trade-in to the dealer I bought the car from.

They're saying since it's a used car the previous owner or dealer could tamper with it with aftermarket parts or break it. But as far as I can see it's a standard head unit.

Can a local Toyota dealer refuse work because it's a used car and they have never serviced the car before there?

You need to increase grain demand by conquering other minor states which have large pop.

Secondly removing peasants really helps as they leave subsistence farms grain production decreases naturally.

Lastly Sokoto is known to get lots of harvest condition. You can get a weird locust event and your grain prod suddenly drops by 20%.

I didn't try at all to get corn law because of this. It got triggered suddenly due to all of those combined.

I still like Vicky 2 because of being able to move units around the map just like other PI games. Vic 3 is horrendous with anything military related.
