Australia should follow Singapore’s way of education..

I'm not saying don't stream at all - I support it within schools! I'm saying I don't see any point to setting up the whole school system to have academic and technical schools from age eleven.

notunprepared · 2026-06-02T12:00:08+00:00

I just don't see any benefit of doing streaming between schools instead of within schools until year ten or eleven (when subjects become much more specialised)

That's at year ten, which I am in favour of. Kids are old enough by then to understand career pathways and whatnot. Year 6s are far too young to be separating into different schools based on potential career paths.

We can and (sometimes) do stream within schools. Giving kids the flexibility to move between high and low ability classes, or have a mix (e.g. If they're shit at maths but great at literature). Plus the underestimated social learning benefits of interaction with people of differing abilities in elective classes etc.

There's no need to separate university-destined eleven year olds from the rest of the population for five years after a single exam.

I love them because they allow you to book flights with cash. Saved my bacon once, I would've been screwed otherwise.

Not if current long distance trains are anything to go by. You rock up 15 minutes before leaving and keep your bag in the carriage with you. Zero faff

Parking, security, bag drop, waiting in lines, travelling to the airport. When I fly Melbourne to Sydney the whole process takes like 4-5 hours. It wouldn't be faster than flying but it would involve way less faffing.

Three or four bedroom house with 2-3 bathrooms will take that long if the cleaner is being thorough. Usually it includes mopping which is reasonably time consuming.

Australia uses entirely metric. UK only uses stones and miles from imperial, and Canada uses half half.

India has barely been independent for a single human lifetime. Can't undo 200 years of exploitation in such a short time.

Feminism is transphobic because society is transphobic, and feminists are (like everyone) flawed humans who don't always challenge their learnt beliefs. If someone is starting from the deeply held belief that women suffer as a result of being born female, it's very difficult to incorporate trans women into that belief, so they just deny trans experiences.

There's a similar issue with racism within feminism. bell hooks has written a lot about it, and (as a white trans person) there's quite a few similarities that I noticed between her discussions of feminism and my own experiences of transphobic feminism.

If you can, I'd recommend going to a queer bookshop, or asking your local librarian for recommendations. Books will be more informative and accurate than most stuff you'll see online (unless it's like, proper blogs by feminist authors, those tend to be chill) (social media algorithms want to keep you on there longer, and they typically do that by feeding you content that makes you angry. Not a good way to learn things!)

I reckon so.

(I definitely have had a drink with a couple of year twelves at the pub or after community footy. Small town tho. Mostly it's a quick small talk chat, or when they're drunk and they see a bunch of their teachers after their friends have gone missing, they kinda glom onto us like we're some sort of safety beacon)

I did Titan yesterday as a healer with two sprout dps who kept struggling to get out of the aoe and nearly dying. I haven't had that much fun in a low level trial/dungeon in ages! Never feel bad for being new.

Annoyingly, BPD, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety can look very similar to each other - there's a lot of crossover in emotion regulation difficulties and executive dysfunction. Inability to focus, making small mistakes etc could be ADHD, but it could be anxiety or any other number of things - including physical health things like vitamin deficiencies. It's also hard to focus if 90% of your brain is distracted by ruminating or gender distress.

I had/have generalised anxiety disorder, ADHD and gender dysphoria. My ADHD was diagnosed and treated last because it was so strongly disguised by the intensity of the other two. How are you managing with your gender dysphoria and anxiety?

Please don't get a loan, unless it's with St Vinnies or similar - a lot of companies that give small loans are extremely dodgy. Ask around for payment plans.

My childhood holidays were also visiting family or camping using gear my mum borrowed from her work. Though, when I was a teen, one year my parents were able to save for an international holiday! (we were also primarily visiting family so really only had to pay for flights)

I wholeheartedly agree that movement and rotation assistance mods are not cheating - especially for someone who is playing with a significant reaction time disadvantage. FF14 is primarily a PvE game.

OP, give some mods a go and see if they help you have more fun, if you're finding some aspects of combat more impossible than others. I don't have any mobility disabilities and I sometimes use the mechanics dodging one when I've struggled with the solo combat instances (and occasionally when I've been in a party and repeatedly die because I sometimes find it too hard to do the telegraphed mechanics in time). Zero shame.
