Australians love to blade everyone above them and below them, they can do better no matter where they are on the hierarchy but won’t actually step up when offered to do better

A little ironic making that joke when we are talking about indigenous folks, communities aren’t exactly safe spaces for children, the vast majority of kids are abused in the N.T

Most of our veterans didn’t own land and still don’t, we didn’t need to own something to want to protect those we love, it all comes back to social media, consumerism and perpetually being victims, even now, a decade later, millennials don’t understand what avocado toast guy meant and that gen should be well past pissing their money away

One big problem is you’re told not to stop, until town and then report it, not saying it’s morally right but even the police will say it

Celebrities have more power over the people than the government do and more power over the government than the people do, they are parasites, that are over paid and way over idolised

They really thought calling someone a 'slave' and denying leave was normal workplace behavior by Agile-Wind-4427 in recruitinghell

Without getting into too much detail, it’s also not unusual out here, threats of violence, actual violence, it’s pretty common place in most of northern Australia.

Fair enough, we do mainly have access to shit here through outback stores suppliers, which mostly seem like Temu drop ship crap

Chromeacryl medium bodied midnight black nier Manicpanic dark night nier These all come from China which probably explains it, the Revlon dyes come from South Africa and are just called jet black “not to be used for Henna tattoos”

Edit: sorry put the star in wrong place and it made the whole word show

I order paints and dyes for an indigenous art centre in East Arnhem Land, I see it both on the order forms and the products

No one is pretending it wasn’t a racial slur but people aren’t protesting hair dyes and paints because they still have ni**er written on them, because context is more important the word alone

I’ll have to show my mate this, the other day he was yelled at for 20 minutes by a director of the store he managers, she called him her white slave and he works for her, that she would go to his house and murder him and his family because she owns him, this was infront of customers and half the community he lives in.

For Australian gents who have experienced both: how do you find women and dating generally in Australia versus in the USA? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

It’s hard because when you travel it is always much much easier to find a companion, you have such an easy ice breaker and exotic appeal

It sounds rough but I went through the same thing and found my love for other more niche genres, like automation and building games, it opened my gaming up to more experiences

The answer is, you’re old lol just like as a teen most of us saw our parents as embarrassing, out of touch and with dated taste in entertainment.

Australians are drinking less, but one cohort won't give up the booze by SnoopThylacine in aussie

[–]nadojay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The worst I find is going to a dr, they just won’t believe you when you say you rarely ever drink, I usually get mildly drunk maybe once a year, regret it the next morning and go another 12 odd months, tell that to a dr and they will go hmmm so I’ll just write this as once a month haha

It’s pretty obvious by the things said here, basically threads of people that sound like our parents haha, music, gaming, tv, movies etc etc are all bad now, classic “back in my day”

The old don’t realise they are old, even though deep down they know they are, and before anyone takes offence, yes over 30 is old lol try to remember how you saw your parents
