You are right, but indigenous Australians are completely unrelated to Austronesian people (the descendants of indigenous Taiwanese who cover an area from Madagascar to Rapa Nui). Papua New Guinea is a mosaic of Papuans who arrived tens of thousands of years ago and Austronesian “Melanesians” that arrived much later and usually live along the coast.

I have to disappoint, there is street parking:

Also, articles about this neighbourhood often say that it’s a “traffic nightmare” because it was designed for a car ownership rate one-fifth of what it is now. Okay…

The photo looks like a render or from Cities: Skylines lol

For those wondering, the neighbourhood shown is Väike-Õismäe in Tallinn.

The “Orange Revolution” was to keep the corrupt Yanukovich from power who supposedly stole the election, only for their guy Yushchenko to be so corrupt and backstabbing his allies that Yanukovich became president after him anyway.

In his final days in office he then pulled this banger.

This notorious fact of Ukrainian politics was instated by a president whose approval was in the single digits.

While the (re-)ban probably happened this article doesn’t link to any sources for its claims, which makes me suspicious about the claimed quotes by government officials about “Western moral decay” and whatnot.

Same, I’ve pondered about that too.

I’m hesitant about spending money too. For me I think it comes down to four things:

• What if I need this money for something important down the line?
• What if I find out later I want to buy/do something more than the thing I’m considering now?
• I also feel bad about causing too much waste for ethical reasons (exploitation of people and planet) and philosophical reasons (not being a slave to consoomerism, valuing the things I already have)
• Until recently my only other source of money was my parents, who are lower-middle income… I think? So I didn’t want to ask them to buy things for me too often.

I also struggle with this mentality. When I do introspection, I find the following thought patterns:

• Not wanting a hassle, as you mentioned (risk aversion, lack of self-confidence)
• Constant messaging by society and parents that I can be taken advantage of and to mind my own business (individualism).
• Knowing that someone or a cause needs much more help than I can provide, like you also said, so any amount of help I give feels like a pittance and I feel guilty. (“letting perfect be the enemy of good”)
• Knowing that many people or causes need money but I can’t help all, so any choice I make feels random or biased to the most sympathetic.
• Getting a sense that the only moral thing to do then is to give up my relatively well-off existence to charity, mutual aid etc. and me not wanting to keep money for myself is selfish and “treatler-brained”.
• Rather than accept the imperfect, I avoid the matter altogether and try excuses like: “I don’t have cash on me right now, sorry”

I also find 6.1" to be ideal and anything larger to be cumbersome. Dad got me a Galaxy S24 last Christmas, which is the same size as an S10 and the same size as the Huawei P8 I have fond memories of.

Note: I actually wanted a Xiaomi 13, but dad buys everyone Samsungs and found that “too Chinese”, his words which he couldn’t elaborate on.

I-I guess that makes… sense?

What on Earth is the context for this lmao

I can only imagine how great that must have felt. As a kid I didn’t like the beach at all, I found the sand annoying () and it felt like a body show, which felt awkward and made me feel worse over how pale and skinny I am. And that’s without any gender anxiety.

But in recent years I have nurtured a wish that my life and self-esteem improves to the point that I can have an experience like this too. It’s become a kind of final proof of how much I would have grown as a person.

I have no idea what any of this is about, as per usual

I sometimes think about getting the game to do things like this. I just want to explore, the game itself doesn’t interest me that much.
