Overshadowed by its gargantuan neighbour. Similar to how people perceieve Taiwan - a country with the 21st-largest economy in the world and a population on par with Australia's - to be a "small" country
Pet DC peeve of mine: absolutely nobody in Washington pays attention to Vietnam enough. We do more trade with them than with every European country save for Germany. Literally number 8 but we obsess over useless countries in the Middle East and Europe

Putting aside that this is just flat-out racism, the “street” in question here is the main street in Australia’s largest city. Go live in one of this country’s thousands of lily-white small towns rather than our global melting pot if the sight of Asians upsets you so much
Sometimes I walk down the street and notice that everyone's different now. They all say they're coming here for a better life, but at what cost to me? I can look back 200 years and see the impact my family had here. And now they want to come and reap the fruits of our labor? That doesn't seem fair or reasonable. I wouldn't expect to walk into someone else's house and rely on their hospitality. But I have manners. And maybe they don't. And maybe that's why my society gives the opportunities it does - the people had manners, were civilised. Actually CARED about making things clean and efficient, improving them. And so we made the best nation there was. But now it's no longer the best because it's over crowded and smelly and dirty. It's like the third world countries we send aid to. And I don't like it. I don't want to live in cramped squalor. That's not what this place was built for.

It’s funny how these temperatures are so much more psychologically tolerable - even enjoyable! - in December and January than in February

This drove me up the wall recently. I have a 9-5 day job, a second freelance job, plus my writing royalties - the latter two make up 25% of my income but the bank flat out refused to accept them despite years of tax returns showing how consistent they are
Going through the mortgage process and the bank is acting as if they have never, ever seen an applicant who earned their income as an author (or musician, YouTuber, podcaster or any other kind of creative gig work). "OK but we need to know the name of your employer." Over & over.

I maintain this is an east coast psyop, I never even saw them on the menu growing up in Perth and they are deep-fried potatoes… deep-fried potatoes!!!
Been thinking about it and I’ve decided to say something controversial. Potato cake is a mid name tbh. In order of best to worst I would rank Potato Scallop first cause it’s funny, then Potato Fritter for it’s clarity, then Potato Cake, then Scallop last cause that’s confusing

better yet, why not just send chatgpt through our school system and dispense with the economic need for children once and for all
“Is it ok for kids to use ChatGPT to do their homework?” asks #BBCLauraK “With supervision, then yes… we need to make sure kids are learning how to use this technology” says Science Secretary Peter Kyle bbc.in/4jdPrGw

Out-of-body experience reading this Fletcher Knebel thriller which I knew was about a junior senator tipped for vice president who becomes concerned the POTUS is insane - because, as it turns out, he proposes annexing Canada and Scandinavia. …It was published in 1965.

Life tip: Do not take legal advice from people on social media
Whenever I post something about squatting on Instagram I’m always surprised by the amount of people who don’t understand the difference between breaking and entering an occupied home (not legal) vs simply entering an unlocked and unoccupied home (legal). Many such cases.

It’s fascinating to observe tech guys who think that what’s currently being touted as “AI” (a bunch of questionably useful predictive text engines) is actual Matrix-level society-upending shit rather than the next Segway or Google Glass
this is one of the best essays I’ve read all year and really cleanly articulates all of the thoughts I’ve been yelling to ppl about for a while

It's great that Google has to justify its massive expenditure on AI by incorporating it into the search engine so now it's just giving people flat-out made up "results"
