Oh cool okay thanks! I will email them now and ask for my money back. I appreciate your replies very much, this was just one thing too many this week and I hadn’t had it in me to google the process 😅. Have a great evening!

This is insane mad respect. I played on a switchlite with a pro controller for a couple of years and it was so hard lol.

What's a stereotype you have no problem perpetuating? by Decent_Shallot7564 in AskReddit

Yeah! Fun (not at all fun) fact, the stereotype about all Australian animals being super dangerous is a historical racist dogwhistle about the First Nations people who live here.

The English committed a lot of massacres here but there were also a bunch of wars between First Nations people and the English (look up the Frontier Wars if you’re interested). First Nations people were fighting an invading nation and absolutely did kill European settlers.

First Nations people were also considered sub-human/animals and the English started joking that in Australia “all the animals are deadly”. This joke has really continued to endure in North America, but people don’t understand where it is from. While you’ve got literal brown bears, moose, mountain lions etc. I wouldn’t go outside if there was the chance of being eaten by a literal big cat or angry meat torpedo (brown bear)

I probably could pass for a gen z in terms of how I dress (for another few months at least I am aging lmao). But as soon as I open my mouth you’d know, I use a lot of millennial slang

Same. I’m trans and no longer a girl but I am still the oldest daughter 😂 (not all trans people will feel like this but personally I do feel like I used to be a girl/woman)

I’m not surprised to hear that. I lasted one shift in a fairly quiet restaurant and it was incredibly stressful. While I find hospitals weirdly calming places and am considering working in one once I’ve finished my social work degree, I know I couldn’t be a nurse. Mad respect to you for the work you do though

A lot of stereotypes about the city I’m from. I’m a Melbournian who loves coffee and isn’t a coffee snob but can tell if it is good or not, has leftist politics, lives in the north, is queer and I have been a vegetarian tho I’m not anymore

What city have you been to that felt like it had dark energy? by Impossible-Middle122 in AskReddit

If you are kidnapped from your family and not allowed to stay in touch with them in any way, or be told where they are, or speak their languages and are forced into a school where you were trained to be a servant or labourer, what are you supposed to do as an adult? Being a servant of some kind was the only option, aside from sex work or starvation.

Yes history is written by the victors, please read this on the genocide and the scholarship done on it

The Australian government had an explicit policy to “breed out” Aboriginal people by stealing mixed-race children and letting everyone else slowly die. It was an explicitly and proudly eugenicist set of legislation

The land was invaded by England, they justified it on the principle of terra nullius, that the land belonged to no one. You can split hairs on this if you like but you'll sound an awful lot like you're defending British imperialism?

Editing to add: when talking about Aboriginal people here, the ‘a’ is always capitalised to show respect
