goodthanks

There were so many of them at the farm I worked at that they made them the icon for the farm's produce. Coming to the city and hearing them referred to as bin chickens was weird. It's more a reflection of our intrusion on their environment than anything else.

Thanks mate. I might do that as this seems like a nice part of the fediverse.

Is there problems between Aussie zone and Lemmy world instances? I'm out of the loop on that one. I don't use Lemmy heaps. I was looking for friendly social places to avoid awful reddit behaviour, but ended up finding some similar things on Lemmy last year so deleted my account. But now I'm back but engaging less. Perhaps I should have got an Aussie.zone account instead.

Also around the same time as Music for the Jilted Generation. magic people, voodoo people.

Yeah that's why I have a 5Tb music collection and a seedbox. When I'm in a nursing home 50 years from now watching Simpsons reruns on repeat, I want my 90s movie soundtracks with me.

Watch as Australia votes in a corrupt copper next year for prime minister. Making the same bullshit promises.

If you had mentioned whiteness theory in your comment then I would have known what you were referring to. Based on your actual comment, my interpretation was not unreasonable.

I was born in 1990, and the only people in my age group that I know who are buying houses are doing so with the help of family wealth. So long social mobility.

To call it whiteness mentality is missing the fact that racism is a trait that can exist amongst any nationality. It may be predominantly white in Australia, but we have a white colonial history. Other non-white countries have it too.

I agree the yes campaign was a poor one. Also, there were 2 opposing messages being put forward simultaneously:

1. The voice is a big leap forward and will improve the lives of indigenous people.

2. The voice is just an advisory body with no real power.

I voted yes, but didn't think the voice was an impressive proposal. I just thought the outcome of a no vote would be worse. The fact that so many people didn't understand what was proposed is partly a media issue, and partly a government incompetence issue. But it also raises the question of why so many people will feel passionately about a position they haven't even fucking bothered to research. We can't have democracy unless citizens put in a bit of fucking effort to understand the society they live in, which includes political proposals.

Then why didn't you do some research to inform your position? I don't understand people who form political opinions without backing them up with research. A lot of people in Australia are borderline illiterate, and are at the mercy of the media. But the educated ones should at least exercise their privilege and read before making decisions. My dad is a lawyer, but wouldn't even read the uluru statement from the heart. Voted no based on spite, which is shameful. Couldn't even justify his own position intelligently.
