In Australia paramedics are tertiary qualified and very skilled

It looks like Trump might pull out of the planned AUKUS pact which as an Australian is something I’m hopeful for. I would love to see the embarrassment of my government if that happens.

In a certain way my life is about prepping. I went into the health field because I wanted to have skills useful for society, not just in collapse but right now.

Are you keen on methamphetamine? 😆

Never heard of these platforms. Did you work out how they compare? For me the draw of slsk is finding almost anything, including very obscure music, because of its dedicated userbase of filehoarders. Do you think the other platforms could offer that? I always like knowing of alternatives

Yep that’s a long one for sure.

Atm big on experimental music, electro acoustic improv, onkyokei (somewhat a historically specific term but just this aesthetic generally). At other times I like various electronic and dance musics, classic jungle, UK garage, breakcore (both classic and sewerslvt core), free jazz, yeah. Fair bit

I have found it really useful for helping resolve interpersonal conflict, such as with partners or friends or so on. Also I think it would be useful to help with internal conflicts as well. Dialectical behavioural therapy is a type of psychotherapy for example that is supposedly very effective for personality vulnerabilities, although this might not be materialist specifically. I’m not knowledgeable on the topic but it’s quite interesting.

Jesus that’s the slogan?? That sounds extremely fascist.

Is it possible to do the well paid job for a while and grind it out to save some money then switch to the lower paid one after a few years?

Give us your report when you do. I’d be happy to hear an alternative perspective from a comrade

Wechat is good for vegging out. I find it’s far more international than Western social media. I routinely see shorts from all over the world, Central Asia, Europe, Africa, East Asia .

Yeah, what I originally thought was quite a petty decision, after seeing the film I’m glad they block this brainrot garbage. Even if the reason quoted is kinda dumb.

Small daily steps is a good idea but I don’t think learning character by character is a good way to go about it. If it’s fun for you then that’s fine but just know you won’t make much progress understanding the meaning.

This sounds like a rather inefficient way of learning the language.

Would the friendly downvoters like to share their views on what they disagree with?

I have no problem believing that real people behave like this. I wish the reactionaries didn’t invent and abuse the ‘NPC’ meme because it’s literally so applicable to this exact scenario.

Also escalating to war over Taiwan? Redeployment of troops in Philippines, making new nuclear alliances (AUKUS, attempts to expand NATO to East Asia.) So yes, a lot of counts of bloodthirsty warmongering. Regardless of your politics, these actions are undeniably escalatory. Just saw your username. Unsurprising.

This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.

Crosspost bot is a great idea. I’ve manually crossposted before just because I wanted to show a particular news story to a broader audience.
