I understand where you're coming from, but I can also understand that someone who works full time but still has to use food vouchers to eat would take umbrage at being put in the same class category as you. I'm relatively comfortable, but precarious (and wouldn't last long without my job), but I'm not part of the working poor.
goodthanks
I don't know the person you're responding to but I have to say that not all software developers earn lots of money like the folks in silicon valley. I earnt less than the median wage in my country for a long time. Also if you're renter in a country with a rental crisis you're be losing most of your wages to that, and getting kicked out every 12 months, losing your savings to moving costs. I'm more stressed than I was working as a manual labourer in 2009.
Thanks mate. I might do that as this seems like a nice part of the fediverse.
Is there problems between Aussie zone and Lemmy world instances? I'm out of the loop on that one. I don't use Lemmy heaps. I was looking for friendly social places to avoid awful reddit behaviour, but ended up finding some similar things on Lemmy last year so deleted my account. But now I'm back but engaging less. Perhaps I should have got an Aussie.zone account instead.
Also around the same time as Music for the Jilted Generation. magic people, voodoo people.
Yeah that's why I have a 5Tb music collection and a seedbox. When I'm in a nursing home 50 years from now watching Simpsons reruns on repeat, I want my 90s movie soundtracks with me.

Watch as Australia votes in a corrupt copper next year for prime minister. Making the same bullshit promises.
If you had mentioned whiteness theory in your comment then I would have known what you were referring to. Based on your actual comment, my interpretation was not unreasonable.
I was born in 1990, and the only people in my age group that I know who are buying houses are doing so with the help of family wealth. So long social mobility.
To call it whiteness mentality is missing the fact that racism is a trait that can exist amongst any nationality. It may be predominantly white in Australia, but we have a white colonial history. Other non-white countries have it too.
There were so many of them at the farm I worked at that they made them the icon for the farm's produce. Coming to the city and hearing them referred to as bin chickens was weird. It's more a reflection of our intrusion on their environment than anything else.
