It's an excellent marketing opportunity

Absolutely go for it if it's legit

[serene ibex]

any of you have any photo ideas? currently mindmapping on a visual Diary

[acoustic lark]

all my photo ideas are: take photos

😎

[fleet edge]

What genre?

[serene ibex]

its for an assignment

[acoustic lark]

sorry that is WILDLY unhelpful, good luck though <3

[serene ibex]

What I have sofar

[sharp steppe]

What interests you? Or what unique experience do you have that might influence the way you see things?

[fleet edge]

Ngl

I can't read half of that

[serene ibex]

Better?

[sharp steppe]

no

[fleet edge]

Is your phone camera covered in bacon grease?

[foggy steppe]

Completely illegible lmfao

[serene ibex]

If u still can’t read

[foggy steppe]

You need better handwriting and a better camera

Lenalns lines I can read

I don't think that's a word

[serene ibex]

Would u like me to just tell you guys

What I’m supposed to be doing?

[fleet edge]

Sure

[serene ibex]

You are to create a Visual Diary Containing 5 Images with each documenting 1 or 2 elements and principles of Design and with a desired Theme

[fleet edge]

1 or 2 elements and principles of design
OR

Document 1 or 2 elements
Document principles of design

[serene ibex]

It’s this

[fleet edge]

How does your teacher define principles of desgn and elements

The classical art definition?

[serene ibex]

It’s basically that

[fleet edge]

Oh that's easy

What's your understanding of these principles applied to photography?

Eg. What does Balance mean when applied to photography?

[fleet edge]

Oh yeah, that's a fun learning assignment

God knows most of this server could use this assignment

What ideas have you got down for these rn?

[serene ibex]

I currently have building and Nature down

[fleet edge]

For what categories tho

[serene ibex]

She’s literally just told us to pick a theme and when you do your shooting that you make sure you include at least 2 of those things

In each

[fleet edge]

Maybe we should copy paste this assignment into a forum post and see how people do

[serene ibex]

But I just need one more type of photography at least

[fleet edge]

I feel like what type or genre of photography doesn't have a whole lot to do with your brief

Unless I'm missing part of the brief

[sharp steppe]

would be nice to just copy and paste that whole assignment

[fleet edge]

You can apply these combinations to any genre

[sharp steppe]

I mean you have it a word doc...

[serene ibex]

One sec @fleet edge

[fleet edge]

Can you send the word doc in here pls

[serene ibex]

I don’t think your allowed to, are you?

[fleet edge]

Hmm?

[sharp steppe]

copy and paste the text...

[serene ibex]

Students will interpret design brief to produce five photographs creatively emphasising Elements and Principles of Design. Imagery will convey creativity and expression through photography. Emphasis on lighting, composition and design is key to producing engaging and immersive photographs. Students may capture a variety of subjects suited to their preferred genre of photography

"Students may capture a variety of subjects suited to their preferred genere of photography

[sharp steppe]

and yet none of that was in the photo you sent

CTRL+A, CTRL+V, Enter.

[feral herald]

Hi Raptor

[serene ibex]

the Mindmap you couldn't read?

[sharp steppe]

no, the photo of the word doc

[serene ibex]

thats what you have to demonstrate

[sharp steppe]

which almost seems to very specifically say exactly what combos you are supposed to use

but Im not sure because all the text is cut off

What I am trying to understand is if you need to combine 'Line and Movement' in image 1. 'Form and contrast' in 2. Etc

Or if those are just examples

but you keep giving incomplete information

brief changes every time you post something

[fleet edge]

You can delete any parts of the doc that dox you like your school name and just send the document

[serene ibex]

I'd prefer not too, ngl

for reasons

[sharp steppe]

Well can you atleast confirm if the 5 images have to be the exact combinations shown in the photo?

Because it says 'Image must emphasise the following compositional combinations and then immediately lists 5 images with combos

If thats what you need to do we can actually help

but we can't do jack if you wont explain what you need to do

[serene ibex]

That is what you need to do

[sharp steppe]

ok then

Whats the area around you like? City or rural?

[serene ibex]

Like my current position? City

[sharp steppe]

OK, so image 1 should be very easy. Road with slow shutter for motion blurred car. Easily gets you lines and movement.

Form and contrast could probably be done easily with a building. Light on one side, shadow on the other with the relevent shapes

[serene ibex]

That’s what I was thinking too

[sharp steppe]

texture and rule of thirds should also be easy. Find a bit of greenery poking through a sidewalk. place it on the third lines, done.

value and symmety should be easy with a building too. Just need to find the right one.

Negative space and empahsis should also be easy, using a streetlamp or security camera or something

do it all with a 50mm lens in B&W and you're golden

[serene ibex]

It has to stick to one theme

[sharp steppe]

'the city'

[fleet edge]

Life in the city

City details

Mundanity in the city

[serene ibex]

Sorry @sharp steppe I’m being an idiot

[coral crescent]

Made pasta for class

[quaint comet]

I made a photo assignment for beginner to intermediate level photographers!

[night hound]

You're a champ 🏆

[fleet edge]

Feel free to direct people to it

[coral crescent]

Free to talk there or just for piccies?

[fleet edge]

You can chat in it

[fleet edge]

As long as it's assignment related

[quaint comet]

[feral herald]

I want pasta

But Olive won’t fucking share

[static ruin]

Very rude

[quaint comet]

I thought we raised you better than that @coral crescent

to the Matilda's Womens WC sacrifice u go

[coral crescent]

[feral herald]

Wait where’s the meat?

[coral crescent]

Salmon

[feral herald]

Shit not Aussie Lounge

[coral crescent]

You just can't see it in this pic

[feral herald]

The fuck?

Salmon?

Pasta?

[coral crescent]

Yes

[feral herald]

What in the devil’s work is this?

[coral crescent]

Salmon pasta, it's not rare lol

[feral herald]

Italians are deeply insulted.

[coral crescent]

[feral herald]

My Italian ancestors are rolling in their graves.

(I don’t have Italian ancestors, I don’t know why I said that )

[lost perch]

i've thrown slices of swiss cheese on a pizza before

[feral herald]

Actually, I’ve not tried that before. Sounds good…?

How was it? In your experience.

[lost perch]

the whole pizza was a crime

[feral herald]

So, no more making the same mistake I suppose?

[lost perch]

first time making a pizza myself

[feral herald]

Well shit I can’t blame you if it was your first time making pizza

[lost perch]

bottom crust too thin, fell apart

now the ingredients list

[feral herald]

Was it some place like Pieology?

[lost perch]

i added mushrooms, pepperoni, sauce, pesto, some garlic sauce, pecans, swiss cheese, some greens and other things

sucked

no we got some diy pizza kits and failed at making pizzas

[feral herald]

Okay another crime there was the pecans…

Who the fuck has nuts on their pizza?

[lost perch]

it tasted like shit

not because of the pecans

[feral herald]

But mainly the Swiss cheese.

Of course, it’s the foundation.

Well, foundation for the toppings — aside the crust.

[acoustic lark]

bro that looks so good

[coral crescent]

[night hound]

[night hound]

I don't own it, my friend does.

[coral crescent]

Close enough

Frauxgie inn where

[night hound]

Neah. People have been asking me to open a cafe or bar for years and I'm like nope.

[coral crescent]

[night hound]

Fucking hard work.

[coral crescent]

Yeah fair enough lmao

[acoustic lark]

HELL YEAH

[coral crescent]

that'd be such a lively place I can't lie

[acoustic lark]

getting an rcg too

[night hound]

Very. It's a jazz and blues bar :)

[acoustic lark]

can you hire under 18s?

[coral crescent]

Oh not the vibe I was going for but sitll nice

[night hound]

No, not quite.

[coral crescent]

That style of music is too slow for me

[acoustic lark]

thought so

[fleet edge]

People are great

[acoustic lark]

who is feeding you lies

[night hound]

What nice drugs did you take?

Share some

[coral crescent]

Some people are

More than less

Well in my life at least

[acoustic lark]

i think you're nice olive

[night hound]

When are you 18anyway?

[coral crescent]

Meh depends on who I'm talking to

[night hound]

Should be soon right?

[acoustic lark]

next year

but i'm travelling as soon as i turn 18

[coral crescent]

Where to

[acoustic lark]

canada, europe

[coral crescent]

Oh cool

[acoustic lark]

most likely gonna live in canada for a while, get a work visa, possibly even study there

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coral crescent]

Meh Idk what I'll do after I graduate

[acoustic lark]

bro you have like 3 years you'll be fine

[coral crescent]

2

[fleet edge]

Come to Canberra

[acoustic lark]

2 my b

[coral crescent]

I've considered it

[acoustic lark]

canberra is... sure

[coral crescent]

but personally Sydney is my vibe

[fleet edge]

Lots of birbs in Canberra

[coral crescent]

Or melbourne

Sydney or melbourne

[fleet edge]

Smh

City people

[night hound]

Me I city people

[fleet edge]

Smh

City people

[night hound]

Smh.
Suburban people

[acoustic lark]

ew not sydney

melb > syd

[coral crescent]

Meh idk

[fleet edge]

Sydney is gross

It's fine to visit

Never would live there

[feral herald]

So I should touch down in Melbourne and not Sydney then…

[acoustic lark]

yes

exactly

melbourne has a night life

[feral herald]

Fair enough.

[acoustic lark]

sorry to say, but sydney does not

[night hound]

As a first timere in Australia, Sydney should be a must.

[fleet edge]

Melbourne has trama :3

[acoustic lark]

trama: tram trauma

[night hound]

It actually does now for the past 2-3 years now.

I think it actuallly ruined CBD.

[acoustic lark]

wdym

[night hound]

All these people at night since George St opened up. So much garbage now.

[acoustic lark]

yeah that's fair

[night hound]

Also, all the late night places are in hidden places.

All the little laneways and streets have little restaurants and bars you wouldn't know exist.

And basement areas.

[acoustic lark]

huh the more you know

[coral crescent]

I've seen a few

my cousin knows his way round

[night hound]

The city started opening up when they relaxed and greatly reduced alcohol licencing fees a few years ago. Then all of a sudden, small business owners can afford opening up little bars.

[acoustic lark]

mmmmmm

i learned today that a majority of the category 2 venues are very close to where i live

that was fun

[night hound]

It went from like $20K or thereabouts to $500

[acoustic lark]

hm

this is fair

i assume covid had something to do with it

[night hound]

I love Melbourne, dont' get me wrong and would lvoe to live there again. But I think Melbourne is different to Sydney in what it has to offer.

People will argue that there is better eating in Melbourne btu I think there is better food here in Sydney.

However, the art scene is better in Melbourne.

And I love the markets.

Something we are missing here.

[static ruin]

It tanked real bad after the lockout laws kicked in, and surprise surprise, the casino was basically the only place people could go after a certain time

Has improved a bit since, but still not great

[night hound]

We've been visiting so many small bars and restaurants lately we can't keep up

so many opening up

[fleet edge]

Imagine going out and not shooting

[static ruin]

Imagine having a camera

[fleet edge]

Hold your 180-600 in front of your phone

[static ruin]

I have a new lens family photo, is about all I can do

[night hound]

Mommy, Daddy and baby nikky

[fleet edge]

Fully erect family

[static ruin]

Called up the repair centre today, apparently they're still waiting for Nikon to get back on whether it can be done under warranty or not, so probably a week, maybe 2 after approval I get it back

[fleet edge]

Yay

That's not bad

[static ruin]

Few parts to be replaced

[night hound]

It's just easier for them to just replace the whole thing.

Ugh.

[static ruin]

Depends on the issue

[night hound]

Give you another one and they can sell that one after fixing as refurb.

woohooo I get my m42 adapters tomorrow!

[fleet edge]

Yay!

[night hound]

Just in time to use the super takumars on Sunday

[static ruin]

It'd only be replacement if it's a major issue, or they can't work out the issue

[feral herald]

I need to re-shoot this entire show at a different angle, I don’t like this

But of course, I have to get better first

[night hound]

@gentle wind where's my tribute

@gentle wind child

@gentle wind pssssssssssssssssssssstttttttttt wake up

[coral crescent]

Why is she asleep at 5pm anyway

[night hound]

Because she is my child and she will forever be sleeping at unusual hours of the day

@gentle wind right child? Child? Psssssssttttttt

[fleet edge]

Tickle her feet

[night hound]

No that means getting up

[coral crescent]

how bout you

THE WHITE ONES ARE BETTER

That’s good

I think I did well in English and business

Though I think I did a dumb dumb in business. Hopefully it doenst knock me down too far

[foggy steppe]

ayy good job

1 mistake aint the end of the world

[fleet edge]

Yes it is

Literally not a 100% mark

Failure

Sleep outside

[late parcel]

😭

[foggy steppe]

thats what i wouldve thought in hs but

uni really beats that out of you

[late parcel]

My face is burning

I forgot I was allergic to latex

40 balloons later…

[fleet edge]

Nothing humbles you faster than going to a high ranking uni and realising that if everyone is top of the class in HS, you become the average that the courses are designed for lmao

[foggy steppe]

even more so that the courses are so hard that "doing well" is "graduating on time"

because most students dont graduate on time or at all lol

[late parcel]

Dang

Y’all are making me even more stressed

[fleet edge]

lmao that me

I tell all the first years to do 3 courses per sem and just take a extra year

[foggy steppe]

basically dont stress if you get bad marks coz everybody does

[fleet edge]

Less grey hairs by the time you're 25

P's get degrees

[foggy steppe]

i was top 5 of nsw in high school and regularly get 50% or lower in uni

its just life, you learn to deal with it and reject the asian mindset

[fleet edge]

I got into ANU without even needing to study for the HSC (including 4 unit maths)

[late parcel]

But Asian parents

[fleet edge]

I get there

50-60% average

A few failures

Ouch

[late parcel]

And a brother that’s getting those special top class award thingies

[foggy steppe]

gotta learn to live for your own future

[sharp steppe]

I just did a 1 year industry specific course after highschool. Super easy. Got into work early and student loan gone fast.

[foggy steppe]

not for unreasonable parent approval

[fleet edge]

[foggy steppe]

yknow my mum was disappointed in me coz i didnt get .95 lol

asian parents are best ignored when it comes to school

just do your own best

[late parcel]

Hard to when they sell your pets and take your stuff when you do bad

[foggy steppe]

in uni you have more freedom

youth allowance and uni support

[sharp steppe]

My younger siblings did similar. Brother did building apprenticeship. Sister did a year at art school.

[foggy steppe]

hopefully that plus a part time job and you can move out to a studio apart/sharehouse

[fleet edge]

Definitely move out for uni

[foggy steppe]

grab a friend and rent together or rent a single room and its very affordable

[fleet edge]

There was no better moment in my life besides meeting @quaint comet than moving out of home

[foggy steppe]

and def apply for youth allowance asap

youth allowance is kinda a must

[fleet edge]

Smartest family on earth

[sharp steppe]

Bro and I both make 6 figures now

[foggy steppe]

apprenticeships are the most reliable way to get solid jobs lol

[sharp steppe]

Not sure about my sister

But yeah

[fleet edge]

I kinda regret coming to ANU

Should've done a easier, more workforce oriented university

Or even a tafe course

[foggy steppe]

arent you doing a physics degree

theres no work oriented physics degrees

[fleet edge]

I'm doing a business one

Original one was physics

[foggy steppe]

oh thats a lot better lol

[fleet edge]

Fuck physics

[static ruin]

Just depends on what one wants to do, different routes for different types of work

I'm very much at the stage where I need to find something else to do, what that is idk yet lol

[foggy steppe]

for sure

im waiting til masters before i decide if i want to keep going down this silly route

[fleet edge]

Don't need to be employed if you just keep studying

Just go for a PhD

[sharp steppe]

Congratz, you're now overqualified and can't get a job in anything. Time to go PhD, move onto becoming uni lecturer and perpetuating the pyramid scheme.

[foggy steppe]

phd is the plan because i plan to go into research

[foggy steppe]

and also because in maths as a career its a bit different to everything else lol

[night hound]

Nerds.

[foggy steppe]

yeah for sure, just whatever is needed for your line of work

[errant linden]

[foggy steppe]

sup

[errant linden]

just realised tomorrow is my last day before yr 12 cuz exams are in the next 2 weeks

[night hound]

Augie just now:

#🏭・human-made is shit.

[errant linden]

I am not ready for yr 12

[static ruin]

You'll be fine

[gentle wind]

tbf the galleries channels recently have had a pretty low quality of work standard

[foggy steppe]

not wrong

[gentle wind]

in general

[errant linden]

human made has awlays been pretty ass

tbh

[static ruin]

Honestly just enjoy it while you can, yr11/12 are some of the more fun years at school. Naturally try to do as well as you can, just don't stress, it's not the be all end all some students make it out to be

[foggy steppe]

y12 is the same stuff again as y11

just take it easy and spend time with your friends

[static ruin]

^

[errant linden]

oh ye just found out I cant take photography next year

[foggy steppe]

ah thats a shame

[static ruin]

This is the one time in your life you'll see your friends basically every day, you don't realize how good it is until it's gone

[foggy steppe]

later on it gets to once a year lol

[errant linden]

from yr7-10 ive been sort of drifting between friend groups

[static ruin]

For me it's mostly just a small group that does things every weekend or 2, but it's just that, a small group

[foggy steppe]

just enjoy it and value it while you can, theres nice things about y12 even in the stressful times

[sharp steppe]

I was glad to finish highschool and never see anyone from there ever again

[errant linden]

and only in the last couple months have I found a real group of solid friends

[static ruin]

Bunch of nerds where we usually play board games or MTG lol

[foggy steppe]

my close friends spread out across australia

so we see each other one holiday a year

[foggy steppe]

thats good to hear

[static ruin]

Was the same for me, still fine. Quality > Quantity

[errant linden]

Im trying to strengthen my relationship with my mates rather than focus on getting a GF so much

[foggy steppe]

thats also a good thing

[static ruin]

gf isn't something you can force, it'll happen if it's the right person

[foggy steppe]

your good friends will last

a relationship is just when you meet the right person

work on yourself and your existing connections above all

[fleet edge]

Yeah, the best kinda romantic relationships you sorta just fall into

All you can really do to help it along is to make sure to put yourself out there and make friends

[fleet edge]

I hated HS

I didn't really have friends

Only Asian in my graduating year I think

Made tons of friends in uni tho

[errant linden]

my school is just really racist lmao

[fleet edge]

Mood

[errant linden]

like more joking/casual racism

but still

[static ruin]

I wish I could go back, first few years of HS were kinda crap, was the nerdy kid that got bullied lol, but by the end had a close group of friends

[foggy steppe]

same

[static ruin]

Was also a big kid, was hilarious when I snapped and pushed one of said bullies against a metal gate... never touched me again after that lol

[sharp steppe]

My HS was in small town NZ. Don't think we had anyone who wasn't either White or Maori.

[foggy steppe]

my school was the opposite of robins

99% asian

racist against non-asian

actually no the one nonasian was school captain maybe im remembering the racism wrong

[quaint comet]

anu is a research, law and politics uni
you go there for research or to make connections

i had a semi decent friendship group in hs but moving away from home when they all stayed really fucked that up :,)

the one friend who also moved here i 1. wasnt close with and 2. fucked up the friendship by sharehousing with

[timber spruce]

Rip

[coral crescent]

My school is very Asian

In my entire friend group there's only 2 of us that aren't Asian

My school rn I fkin love, best vibes can't lie

[errant linden]

my maths class is actually elite

we are all collectively trying to get our teacher fired

[static ruin]

I guess the problems for the teacher are just adding up

[errant linden]

shes a bad teacher

like we honestly weren't a bad class but she just explains maths very poorly

[coral crescent]

That happened to our class last term

But with a science teacher

Spent the whole term teaching physics and the exam was 90% Bio

[foggy steppe]

our grade signed a petition to have a class change their maths teacher

you cant really get them fired but you can sometimes maybe get a diff one if your administration is nice

[coral crescent]

In the case of my science teacher we got told he "resigned" after one term of teaching here

That was after the entire grade complained about his teaching methods and what he even taught

[foggy steppe]

If it's first term makes sense

Ours was a very senior teacher who marked HSC and all

[late parcel]

Dang nice, there’s only one other Asian in my group

[coral crescent]

Oh yeah that'd be very hard to fire

[coral crescent]

Better than none

[late parcel]

Yeah

He’s awesome too

Also good news

My Asian doctor mum is letting me drop to standard math!

[coral crescent]

That's crazy

wtf

You're in Y11 right?

[foggy steppe]

Ayy nice

[late parcel]

Yeah

I have only 4 days left of yr 11 not including exams 😭

[coral crescent]

Oh yeah cause you just start Y12 halfway through

I forget about that

[late parcel]

It’s weird hey

[coral crescent]

Yeah, is what it is though

[inner ether]

wtf :o

[errant linden]

WOOOOO

I love double legal studies

[eternal moat]

Get ready to become a legal adult next year!

[acoustic lark]

Ew ew ew ew

Stop it

No

Ew

[eternal moat]

Aside from learning the real reason you go to a prestigious uni is to make those connections

[eternal moat]

Honestly despite the extra responsibilities of being an adult it’s pretty great

[acoustic lark]

Actually no you have a point

I would like to serve alcohol

[late parcel]

Woop wooop

[woeful belfry]

Adult concepts

Like ummm .. health insurance

[quaint comet]

like doing puzzles at work!

[woeful belfry]

being an adult is spending $600 on a vaccum cleaner

[fleet edge]

Ooooh

[woeful belfry]

cos you have 2 cats that shed heaps

[static ruin]

Yeah, it sucks (pun intended)

[fleet edge]

$600 isn't a bad price for a mid range stick vacuum

[late parcel]

I hate vacuuming. Just give me a broom and mop

[fleet edge]

Stairs are such a bitch

[woeful belfry]

NO STICK

no stairs either

[fleet edge]

HAVE YOU TRIED VACUUMING STAIRS WITH A REGULAR VACUUM

[late parcel]

Yup

Hence why I hate vacuums

I have two flights in my house 😭

[fleet edge]

So do we

We need a stick vacuum

If I land this job interview

[late parcel]

Just knock everything to the bottom with a broom and scoop it up

[fleet edge]

We celebrate by buying a vacuum

[late parcel]

😂 good luck

[quaint comet]

im okay with th8s

[fleet edge]

Ever since the dog came

The house is permanently dirt filled

[quaint comet]

hes got like 1 week left and then ill clean the house

[fleet edge]

Hey hey hey

We'll clean together

Smh

[fleet edge]

:O

Puzzles!

[fleet edge]

Have fun living in the suburbs if you want something which isn't a modern poorly built shoebox apartment

[woeful belfry]

puzzles .. like "who sent this email that looks like it came from our accounts payable team?"

[woeful belfry]

Yea, I don't/can't do apartments. House or GTFO.

I make too much noise. Sometimes at odd hours.

I like having a yard/garden too

I don't like stairs

[fleet edge]

Ah, so living at the edge of Sydney in a poorly built new development with no shops or PT :P

[woeful belfry]

I live in Melbourne. It's a rad old house. Tram direct to city is a 5 minute walk

[fleet edge]

That's pretty alright

Hard to buy houses these days tho

You're in luck if you inherit one in a good location

Otherwise good luck

And good riddance tbh

Sprawling suburbia is so stupid

More townhouses yes pls

Medium density mixed use zoning 🤤

[woeful belfry]

I'm beyond the need for city convenience. I'm close enough, but also able to escape the city without crawling through too much traffic.

I did my inner city living through my 20s and 30s in Brisbane

[fleet edge]

Lucky, you own your house?

[woeful belfry]

oh hell no

that time living inner city 20s-30s was misspent youth/time

[static ruin]

Someday I'd like to move further out, but that'll be a long way off if ever

[woeful belfry]

all my money went on weed, booze and records

[fleet edge]

I like Canberra and where we for now tbh

5 minute walk to the shops

10 minute bus to the city centre

[static ruin]

Especially how as development pushes further out, where I am now has changed a lot even in the past decade

[fleet edge]

20 minute drive to anywhere in Canberra

[fleet edge]

Yeah, Sydney suburbs are getting ridiculously far out

[woeful belfry]

yea, but on the flipside, that's the city centre of Canberra

[sharp steppe]

Auckland is spreading so much it's gonna start absorbing the next closest city soon

[fleet edge]

Wollongong is a Sydney suburb

[static ruin]

The gong

[woeful belfry]

Brisbane is doing that. It's just going to be suburbia from Brisbane to the Gold Coast any minute now

[fleet edge]

MegaCity1

[sharp steppe]

Auckland will soon have Hamilton and Whangarei as suburbs. Give it 10 years.

[static ruin]

Seems like part of Brisbanes growth is people moving there because it's cheaper, prices up there have shot up a lot over the last 5 or so years

[sharp steppe]

My parents live an hour drive away from me, they'll be part of Auckland soon enough.

[fleet edge]

I think uni grads have nowhere to go

So they're gonna flock to whatever city is cheapest for jobs and housing

I've had so many friends flock to Melbourne or Brisbane

[static ruin]

I've looked at Brisbane as a potential option to get into the housing market, but even that has changed a lot

[foggy steppe]

Brisbane is so shit

[fleet edge]

I think Australia is shit rn

Just thank god we're not the US or UK

[foggy steppe]

70% of us get skin cancer by 70

I bet it's like 90% in brisbane

Sunshine state my ass

[sharp steppe]

The Gold Coast is also a suburb of Auckland

[static ruin]

NZ is just another state in Aus

[foggy steppe]

Aus is the west island

[fleet edge]

My UK friends are having a bad time

What economy

[static ruin]

It's like that in a lot of places right now

[sharp steppe]

Yes, as West Island you can enjoy slightly less insane polictics and media

[static ruin]

Canada also going to crap

[fleet edge]

We finally have a labour government which is kinda just libs lite

[sharp steppe]

About that...

[foggy steppe]

Our labour government is great wdym

We only have a 25th forced referendum that's doomed to fail and waste everyone's time

[fleet edge]

Announcing anything to do with the CoL crisis? Nah fam, referendum

[woeful belfry]

shoulda just not made it a reeferendum

[foggy steppe]

Barely any referendums ever pass

[sharp steppe]

Look, the referendum you guys are having will get 100% support of you design a laser-kangaroo flag to go along with it.

[fleet edge]

It's a referendum we need one day nd it's a good cause but.... Sheesh the average person sure ain't doing so hot rn

[fleet edge]

Libs but they know how to virtue signal

[static ruin]

Crazy idea, but they could just implement what they want here without a referendum, if it works, great, if it doesn't, it's not stuck there

[sharp steppe]

Labour is pretty much toast this election anyway

[static ruin]

In NZ?

[sharp steppe]

NZ one, that is

yeah

[static ruin]

Yeah not surprised

[sharp steppe]

But the other side are making sure that it's gonna be a fight to the bottom anyway

Both are trying so hard to suck

[static ruin]

My first thought when jacinda retired was just to try to stem the bleeding, her popularity wasn't going so well

But that just seems to be a lot of countries, people complain, vote for other major party, complain and go back, rinse and repeat

[foggy steppe]

They're not great at it tho lol

[fleet edge]

Libs but they know how attempt to virtue signal

I think we're in for a interesting decade anyway

Exactly how I wanted to spend my 20's and 30's

[foggy steppe]

There's really no good options anymore lol

It'll be a fun few years

[fleet edge]

Remember kids

The more social unrest in your country, the greater chance you have of winning a Pulitzer

[woeful belfry]

Only after you die though.

[foggy steppe]

Generally a lot of other people need to die too

[woeful belfry]

at least 4 people

[static ruin]

Should just go back a decade where we basically had a new pm every year

[fleet edge]

Oh yeah that

[foggy steppe]

That was fuckin weird

Abbott crunching on an onion era

I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man

Iconic

[foggy steppe]

Gillard was the confusing one

Abbott was great evil comedy

[static ruin]

I remember she came to my school when I was doing hsc, was annoyed because the school kept us all on the oval when I actually wanted to study lol

She was a lot shorter than she appeared on TV

[feral herald]

Abbott… TX (R)?

[foggy steppe]

Oh this shit happened anytime anyone important visited lol, was so annoying

[static ruin]

Different abbott, this one wears budgie smugglers

[feral herald]

Ooh okay. I forgot this is AUSSIE Lounge

[woeful belfry]

And loves a tasty raw onion

[eternal moat]

Dysons are really nice

[feral herald]

Dysons are definitely nice, but is it worth the price though?

[eternal moat]

It’s a matter of perspective if you get value out of it

[woeful belfry]

https://www.godfreys.com.au/hoover-allergy-powerhead-vacuum-cleaner

I got that

the motorised head is awesome

[lost perch]

shop vac

[coral crescent]

You know the average age of the chat is 30+ when it's talking amount vaccums

[sharp steppe]

A good vacuum is life changing my dude. Zoomers just don't understand (yet)

[late parcel]

My dyson sucks

Not literally

[sharp steppe]

[foggy steppe]

Can confirm Dyson is worth it coz if you spend 300 only and get a Hoover or smth you'll be then frustrated for years

Or god forbid an ozito like when I first moved out

[feral herald]

[sharp steppe]

I got a Miele Boost CX1 and it's good. Wanted the blizzard but was hard to find at a good price...

[late parcel]

We had a Dyson stick that wasn’t working so we took it back and got a new one that can only use min power. Medium kills it

[sharp steppe]

Cordless vacuums are a meme

Get a decent corded one

Never worry about not blasting that thing at full power

[inner ether]

Decent cordless ones are very nice as well

I bought 2 to compare

[sharp steppe]

The batteries will fuck out and it will be cheaper to buy a new vacuum later.

[inner ether]

I just like using it more

I hung it up on the third floor, so I have easy access to it

[fleet edge]

We're thinking of getting a $150 one

Already had a big ole dyson

[sharp steppe]

Don't do it

It will be shit

[inner ether]

if ur getting a cheap stick vacuum

The Jet70 Turbo from Samsung is pretty decent

[fleet edge]

We just want something for the stairs

And spot vacuuming the office

[inner ether]

I just use it for my own room

its like 25 m^2

we have this big industrial one for all the normal cleaning

[quaint comet]

OI.

[quaint comet]

he talked to me and some ppl from my school bc we were at the war memorial the same time as him lol
it was very awkward as a group from an all girls school
