@kay_z67 I was at a street party. The clock ticked over and the father of a family friend turned on the garden tap to confirm the water was still running. It was.

@Sassafrass_84 No, but stereotypes exist for a reason.

@mikeaxolotl @tradeoilstocks Not australia, we're not close to anything.
Everything else is pretty accurate.

@tradeoilstocks I like how this can be interpreted as either Canada or Australia

@CuppyCakiee I mean, there is only about 36 of us.

@qsfkbwIhuWLhnjI Melbourne is in a real bad state at the moment, it's only gotten worse since this incident occurred.

@toylan20 You cant get away with sloppy technique the way you can in your 20s, and you cant use bodybuilders or other substance users as your benchmark. Apart from that, have at it.

@Sauronlordking It never needed to blow-out to this degree. However the government of the day forced it through without doing enough early assessment, against the recommendations of their consultants.

@TetraChad I was on holiday at universal studios in Singapore. There was a attraction where the crowd interacted with Donkey from Shrek. Donkey asked a 5 year old Singapore girl 'You cant spit here, can you?'. She replied innocently, 'It depends what race you are.'

Singapore is a high trust society and doesnt have a homogenous culture.
Different races and ethnic groups packed into a small space yet you can walk around at 3am drunk with cash hanging out of your pocket and a $100k watch on your wrist and no one will do anything

Japan was the first time I understood what a "High Trust Society" looked like. It comes down to a homogeneous culture and people bound by a cohesive social fabric. Which doesn't exist in America.

@OMGTheMess @RoyPentland Currently working near a rural pump station. It has a solar farm adjacent to minimise costs from grid power. Looks to be a sensible application of the technology.
Cheap, locally generated power used to support a specific piece of infrastructure, supplemented by mains.

@aj_inapi I worked in the highlands on cpmtruction of a gas facility, lots of western expats interfacing with local labour. It was a pretty wild experience.
English

Let me explain something to my audience in the West.
Here in Papua New Guinea, up in the Highlands, tribal fights are a way of life.
When two tribes go at it for generations, the businessmen and politicians supply the weapons and ammunition. The foot “soldiers” are poor villagers who were born and raised in an environment where conflict has always been a normal part of life.
You will never understand how their brains work unless you’ve seen it up close.
These people adore their elites and are willing to die for them at ANY cost, while the elites are living luxurious lives in the capital city. Their kids are overseas studying or living there with ZERO negative impact from the conflict.
BUT to the villagers, the tribal fight is a worthy cause, and if they lose, they believe the other tribe will wipe them out.
They rarely make peace. And if they ever do, sooner or later they fall back into the same cycle over and over again. It's like you can't make peace with them. However, the "leaders" are key in making peace in these situations.
They burn down schools, hospitals, bridges, and government institutions in the area. They destroy their own future just to hurt the other side.
Even sane Papua New Guineans cannot wrap their heads around this level of stupidity, but we understand the environment they grew up in. These people are brutal. They will not hesitate to take a life in the most heinous way possible and then go on with their lives and not be held accountable.
Now over the last few years, news has come out that the leaders of groups like Hamas, IRGC, and Hezbollah live in the comforts of the modern world. Their kids and families are in the West living luxurious lives, while the foot soldiers are dying in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere.
This is NORMAL to them.
These are religious fanatics on top of the culture they live in. They are willing to die for their so-called leaders. They are willing to take thousands of lives just to further the cause.
The Western soldier comes back home broken because they’ve had to do things they were not raised to do. They suffer serious PTSD because of the horrors they have witnessed. To them, they have seen very inhuman atrocities.
But to many fighters in parts of the Middle East and other conflict regions, that is the normal way of life.
The Western soldier is trained.
They fight within the constraints of international laws.
They are accountable.
To terrorists and militant groups, anything goes.
In the Western world, even half the country would be against war. There are protests, politics, media debates, elections.
In many conflict regions, people are raised from childhood to accept war, martyrdom, revenge, and tribal or religious loyalty as part of life.
This is the difference between the West and much of the developing world. It is very different from what you read and watch on the internet. Most of the time, you cannot understand why these people think and operate the way they do, because you are living in a completely different reality.
And that is the part many people in the West do not understand when they talk about geopolitics, war, and foreign policy like it’s a movie or a university debate.
For many parts of the world, this is not theory.
This is not politics.
This is not X.
This is just life.

@AusNurseYamata No, you at least offer to pay your own way.

@JohnDPMorgan It seems to me that while microplastics, BPA'S, PFAS, etc might not be good, they are 1% factors. 99% factors are thinks like tobacco, alcohol, diet, physical activity, etc.
English

Average human lifespan over time has gone up with increased microplastic exposure. It’s all a moral panic.
