@lemmy.worldAustralia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
I don't have anything against OF or sex work, but I've always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.
Do the dishes bit by bit. Rinse and stack, then wash a few when you make a coffee. Makes it less of task for me at least.
I remember going to a doof in gippsland in 2010 (noise poison) and cops were searching cars on the way in (unusual for the party size) because another doof at the same site 2 weeks prior had a violent incident that was blamed on GHB. It had a bad reputation amongst people I knew at doofs.
The media used to refer to it as grievous bodily harm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ZFEhBPS9E
You're not wrong. Unfortunately people from wealth think they are smart by default. The smartest people I've known come from bad childhoods and no wealth, and have to learn to be smart and crafty to get by. It's the knowledge that you have nothing to fall back on that makes you plan harder.
She wouldn't get a uni position here anyway. There's too few positions and you have to get one straight out of the gate unless you're transferring from some other academic position. She is shut out by her age. We don't value PHDs in Australia. When I worked in Germany my company had PHD students getting full time wages with the company paying for their education (Electrical Engineering PHDs doing chip design). Nothing like that exists in Australia, which is why I went into industry after a failed start at academia.
It's almost like we're now in a world where you have to plan for every single eventuality and if you can't do that then you're one mistake or accident away from being completely fucked.
