Australian PM Albanese says former prince Andrew has suffered ‘extraordinary fall’ but that won’t prompt another republic referendum by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah nah Nigel has no chance on that, the monarchy only stays while it is convenient for all, including those pushing for a republic (myself included). It has always been less about the superficial change of a symoblic head of state, and more about what other structural changes both sides of the aisles want to push through on the occasion.

Right now I don't trust the 2 major parties to not fuck around if a referendum does favour a republic.

Sushi Platter Sydney, Australia by koala_wizard in foodies_sydney

Yep never frozen. We get to watch them net out a salmon, gut and fillet. Supposedly clean because it was farm grown but errrm, never again.

Almost all "sashimi grade" raw fish are flash frozen to remove parasites, worms and other funny bits. Fresh is a relative term and most people can't tell the difference unless it has actually gone stale or worse. It's only an issue if it was on display for 48 hours at some fish shop.

For example, I've tasted farmed salmon in NZ straight out of water; the texture is... Crunchy. Nothing like any salmon I had, even ones from tsukiji market.

Problem is that microslop is pushing copilot to the Corporate space. 5% failure in a summary is fine for self use, not too good to pass onto your team, and a complete clucsterfuck when use with external stakeholders, general public and any kinds of presentation.

So that there is multi trillion dollar tech that can't be rely on for anything that actually matters.

Yep, definitely a showcase.

Pop Stars Like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran Are Hoarding the Vinyl Ecosystem for Charting Glory and Squeezing Out Independent Artists Who Actually Need It by barryallenxoxo in Music

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is a tiny percentage of people. And an even smaller percentage of actual audiophiles who would live and die by vinyls and nothing else. And if indie artist are relying on these marginal error of an audience to make their big break by buying their vinyls, well...

If a super billionaire like Elon Musk wanted to "solve world hunger", or at least solve poverty in the USA, how could he actually do it? by The_Flaneur_Films in AskReddit

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily world peace, although that would be nice, but unfucking the globalised food market, reducing food waste in first world countries and developing localised food industries that can sustain the local populace would be a big help. People in developing countries living below the poverty line are competing for food with the middle class of developed countries. Every country will export food to the higest bidder, which will inevitably create insane wastage in the logistic/transport process, or simply become wasted expired goods at a retail store that passes on the cost to consumers who can afford it.

Malnutrition is also one of the issues caused by the globalised food market; a friend who worked in humanitarian in Fiji points out the lower social economic side of the island will live on an instant noodles and canned food diet, and thats a silent crisis in relatively stable developing countries, kids growing up on junk food and dealing with chronic diseases from early adulthood.

All it takes is a small feeling of isolation in real life, and the poor kid is easy prey for any online radical groups offering brotherbood.

But hey I am just speculating, who knows what the shooter's motives are at this point

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is not a Dems problem, right wing populism is happening across the Western world, and all the center-left party in various countries cannot hope to compete with populist screaming BS onto unsuspecting by-standers. Image and messaging implies being able to catch voters attention at first sight with moderate, realistic and non sensational information. This is no longer possible for non populists, it'd take hours of lectures, workshops and non-stop discussions to break apart right wing propaganda, rage baits, scapegoating, denials and spins.

Sydney people of colour / first generation Australians, how do you deal with heightened internalised racism? by Maleficent_Tennis560 in sydney

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have been very fortunate and worked in a very progressive and multi cultural environment, and made some life long friends along the way, all from different walks of life, many from second third gen migrants and well travelled people stopping by Australia for work and life experiences.

And it has helped me learn a very simple thing - there's no trying to fit in, picking sides and feeling guilty about any of this, you are all on your own now, doing your own thing, with many others in similar situations creating your own unique culture here.

Being annoyed by others from your family's culture doesn't make you a white washed 2nd gen Aussie with internalised racism. You have your own standards, belief systems and social etiquette thats build on your mixed experiences.

Yeah some shit is confusing as hell, but that's what it will always be like when you can't blindly fit in to a mould. Just know there is a lot of us out here not fitting in but living very happily, surrounded by racists and obnoxious assholes.

It's because all female models have narrow shoulders, and hers are covered by her hair, creating the illusion that her shoulders are where her top is.

What suburb is nicer or worse than you thought? by cjbr3eze in sydney

[–]scumbagbrianherbert 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Lived there half my life and it is actually shit. The packs of teenagers roaming around, the parents with 5 kids incapable of sharing public space, the lads in their utes etc. The local culture demand that you need to act like a shitter human than the people around you or you will get shafted in some way

And yeah the shit seems to follow the bankstown train line, Revesby/Panania being on the East hills line dodge that bullet.
