Looks like a rude boy with long limb by limbs.
Doesn't most of it go to landfill anyway due to contamination? Every share house I've lived in didn't separate their waste. I used to empty it on the drive way and sort it on bin nights but eventually gave up. Australians are lazy as fuck. Apartment blocks are the worst. Found a microwave in the recycle bin. We're fucked.
Well AIDS was scary as fuck but Australia didn't have to worry too much about the cold war. Life in the 80s was generally pretty cruisy.
It's true. But I think the point is that more opportunities were available to that generation. For example, both my boomer parents grew up in poverty. Dad was an orphan. They moved to the city with no money and made careers for themselves. Housing was cheap. That's not possible today without family wealth (in Australia at least). I'm a software engineer with an electrical engineering degree and I'll never own a house or retire. They bought houses on public service wages without degrees.
Everyone is susceptible to social adaptation. Like how some people from poor backgrounds become classist once they've made it and have golf buddies to talk to about real estate. The real test of a person's principles is if they're willing to go against their peers opinions. It can be very isolating.
Also picking up guitar again and learning Spirit Caravan songs. No amp but guitarix doesn't sound bad through studio monitors.
Yes, which is why I find it hard to play games these days. Even reading books is a challenge after reading code all day, but my current down time activity is trying to read through the complete works of George Orwell. Reading Homage to Catalonia and really enjoying it.
Australia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
I don't have anything against OF or sex work, but I've always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.
Do the dishes bit by bit. Rinse and stack, then wash a few when you make a coffee. Makes it less of task for me at least.
Because he crept into their houses at night and wrecked up the place.
I remember going to a doof in gippsland in 2010 (noise poison) and cops were searching cars on the way in (unusual for the party size) because another doof at the same site 2 weeks prior had a violent incident that was blamed on GHB. It had a bad reputation amongst people I knew at doofs.
The media used to refer to it as grievous bodily harm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ZFEhBPS9E
You're not wrong. Unfortunately people from wealth think they are smart by default. The smartest people I've known come from bad childhoods and no wealth, and have to learn to be smart and crafty to get by. It's the knowledge that you have nothing to fall back on that makes you plan harder.
She wouldn't get a uni position here anyway. There's too few positions and you have to get one straight out of the gate unless you're transferring from some other academic position. She is shut out by her age. We don't value PHDs in Australia. When I worked in Germany my company had PHD students getting full time wages with the company paying for their education (Electrical Engineering PHDs doing chip design). Nothing like that exists in Australia, which is why I went into industry after a failed start at academia.
It's almost like we're now in a world where you have to plan for every single eventuality and if you can't do that then you're one mistake or accident away from being completely fucked.
Focusing on her high level education is a bit disingenuous, but obviously attention grabbing. The real points here are the vulnerability that disabled people and single people are exposed to in this housing market. Also older people, who really shouldn't be forced back into share housing and deserve a bit more dignity than that.
How many terms should be required for a government to effect meaningful change though. Your argument about limiting damage will also apply to their subsequent terms as living standards continue to fall. I think their lack of ambitious policy supporting social welfare is more about their underlying belief systems rather than having their hands tied.
