Yeah, usually if I get stuck in my head I'll just go work in the garden. Bit of sunshine and toil usually gets me unstuck.

The rule for all memes like this:
If you're like "yeah I sometimes do that," then you're likely just a normie. If you do stuff like this all the time, every time, well, maybe...
I can't say shit about my full set of motivations without breaking NDAs and doxxing myself unfortunately.
But Australia is worse off environmentally than the public knows. And so many of us that worked in environmental analysis for big engineering firms, which are contracted by government, defence and so on, are gagged.
When people try to blow the whistle, they are put into lengthy court battles which they never win.
I worked on a project a few years ago around water theft, one of the other attached contractors had an analyst go to the media, blowing the lid off the scope of the issue. I have no idea what happened to her exactly, but I know they buried her in court.
I'm moving to Canada, but more to be with friends, and spend the rest of my thirties and onwards enjoying my life. My twenties were brutal, I'm 35 and I've never had a holiday. I've been an activist for twenty years in Aus as well, this referendum and the result are painful.
This, for instance, is in actuality a much more pressing issue than this 2017 article portrays.
You never see these pricks on the street. Fucking turn up in Melbourne and let the Sharpies sort 'em out.
I remember filling these cunts in when I was in my twenties. Big ups to the next generation, you have your work cut out. Happy to see ranks growing.
Yeah, I've mentioned to some friends and family that my wife and I are moving overseas. I don't use Facebook or anything, I've purposely not engaged in discussions with them about the Voice.
And some of the hate and vitriol has been astounding. Full mask-off Aussie exceptionalism.
The Voice was just the nail in the coffin for us. We'd been considering moving for a while. I wish Aussies really knew how fucked our work culture is. And how shit our pay is relative to the cost of living.
They're living in a fantastical version of Australia sold to them by a nationalist media.
Who is calling you a racist lol?
No voters woke up ready to shadowbox today. They'll do this all the way to the next election, regardless of what anyone says. The vote was done and they were acting like victims on social media immediately.
And I mean if you find yourself frequently susceptible to racist propoganda... Well, maybe....
I feel like anyone who seriously thought a No vote would lead to a better outcome are going to be disappointed when indigenous rights are not revisited until 2050.
More importantly, Dutton or other LNP government can use this result to justify cuts to funding and whatnot.
Awful time to be an Australian. How utterly embarrassing.
Yeah I've got arms like an orangutan. Despite the amount of stuff I've smashed my watch 5 pro against it's still scratch and scuff free.
Who knows?
I'm done chasing a house and family in Aus. The wife and I are looking to sell up belongings, go meet up with friends in Europe and spend our time kayaking and trekking around the place on the cheap. I have a job in Toronto waiting if I want to settle.
I'm done with Aussie work culture, shit Aussie pay (relative to professional roles overseas) and the worsening "fuck you got mine" attitude imported from the US that seems to permeate Aussie culture now.
A lot of my mates already left, I only held on because I thought we were progressing and I am very connected to the land here. I don't see it getting better anymore and we're destroying the landscape anyway.
Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.
We have a family premium plan and I still got this message. Guess I'll cancel YouTube Premium now...
I get most of the content I want via patreon anyway now.

Fuck, imagine being this stupid.
Imagine me typing
And still typing that dogshit-brained shit.
What a perfect example of why I'm moving. What a perfect example of vapid Aussie exceptionalism.
