Yeah, ever since Nike bought the lot they’ve been a bit mad with the designs…

I always had Chucks, not because I didn’t wanna get teased mind you I just thought they were cool. Kids teased me for different things anyway.

But man, they never really lasted that long. One to one and a half years of daily use, and they doubled in price in the last ~15 years (which maybe isn’t that much but I feel the quality went down a bit).

That’s even better then. I just used an Opal card, I’m sure my credit card would’ve worked fine but I tend to be extra cautious when It comes to things like that, plus it’s a nice souvenir

When I was in Australia, a bunch of people asked me about the public transport here and all of them were baffled when I told them how shit it was…

I have no idea where this perception that everything must be perfect in Germany or Europe came from but it is sooo outdated.

Speaking of tickets; in NSW you just tap your Opal card when entering/leaving train stations. It makes so much more sense and is so much easier.

Bought my first AMD card last year, never looked back

It’s great that Papua New Guinea is still receiving updates /s

first formal “truth-telling” inquiry […] from 2021

Holy fuck… I mean that’s great but why did it take until 2021 for them to enquire about that?

I don’t think I’ll be helping this year, it’s too bloody hot over here to deal with all the surrounding drama (from people who try to sabotage the flag), but it’s cool to see that the Aboriginal Flag is now “officially” part of it

Is Carroll & Richardson Flagworld an indigenous business? As far as I know they hold the exclusive licence to manufacture the Aboriginal Flag in actual flag form and I wonder why they’re not mentioned

Edit: I looked into it a bit more and it seems that the exclusive licence held by Carroll & Richardson was kept to ensure a high quality and that manufacturing of the flag stays in Australia, which is actually quite good IMO.

Explains why those flags are so expensive…

That’s fucking cool

I know that people in English speaking countries tend to like German accents, can’t really imagine why, though. I’m trying my best to lose the thing lol

Over here in Germany people seem to like British accents I guess. God forbid you’ve got an eastern European or even just an east German accent, though, there’s a ton of people with prejudice against that.

I’d be more scared of that than all the spiders and snakes combined

How high on ketamine is he?

3.5 (maybe we should call it 4)

I think calling it 3.5 might already be too optimistic

Their KDs are incredible… /s

Thanks mate. Wolfgang is a very uncommon name over here nowadays, unfortunately. I think it’s a pretty cool name.

This was on the side of the Murrumbidgee at Bullen Range Nature Reserve in Canberra

They’re probably confused as to what you mean by mentioning FireWire. IEEE1394 is the technical name for FireWire.

I assume it’s an indoor cat by the leash? I can’t remember if my cat actually minded being alone but she was pretty much free to leave the house whenever anyway, I wouldn’t really allow that nowadays.

Nah, I live in Germany, but I’m hoping to move to Australia soon.
