Trust, we're not that far behind you fuckers in the shit. You want to learn how to not be less shit? Copy paste what Canada's doing.

Medicare rebate only covers part of your bill, bulk billing is almost non existent in the cities.

Australia doesn't have socialism. We have less extreme capitalism. That's all.

We're nowhere near where we want to be. But our govt is a bunch of private school kids

What's that saying that older folks like?

"Reality is what remains when you reopen your eyes" or something.

I think people don't understand it correctly. I don't think it's about blinking at all.

These are meme models that if you proposed them in an engineering meeting you'd be laughed out of the room.

Either:
Do everything around individual
Or
Do everything around collective

Either be a slave or be a slave. Thanks.

"it might be good for you, but big companies are struggling to make record profits to perpetuate hype economy! Shame on you citizen!"

You guys really live in a Black Mirror episode. Lol.

It's the whole "if you grew up without freedom" and you're right about that. They won't, because they don't even know what they're missing.

It's genius really

Okay wow. We now I have urge to dm you and talk about urban planning 🤣

Ignore above, thinking out loud

That... Is pretty awesome and a simple premise that can lead to a very complex narratives because it's an extremely difficult question to answer objectively. So, you'd have to present personality archetypes, but they have to be complex enough to feel real and not insulting.

Yeah okay, that's good.

I know a guy who does the same thing going "I don’t vote, I just pay my fines" like it’s a personality trait.

He’s not a bad dude, but he’s basically the version of me I would’ve turned into if I didn’t course-correct.
Miserable, stuck, and missed the last motorway exit.

Nice! I think in methapors so that helps and my emotional intelligence needs a lot of work.

Thanks!

Would recommend if you're looking for highly political, somewhat realistic and dare I say grounded take on things like Left, Right, Anarchy, personal arcs, overcoming trauma, chosen family, duty of care motives.

One of these shows that made me want to read a book and changed some views. S6 sucks.

Will do, "The good place" came recommended to me before and we do have similar taste. Will get it today.

Lot of people told me I'd like Stevens universe. Maybe it's time to give it a try. I need something feel good.

Oh wait...
That wasn’t even a joke.
That was just one of the many fucked upthings that actually happened to me as a kid and not even anything spicy.

Anyway, sorry boss, didn’t mean to remember I’m a human being for a second.
I’ll get back to being a good little cog now 👍

My KPI is almost finished
