Hey Cyberhonkey

[theclap]

I'm in central California. You can't swing a dead hooker without hitting a tweeker around here.

[Cyberhonky]

Sounds like CA, if it was a nation.

Just substitute tweekers for kangaroos and there you have it.

We've got them too

actually, no, i didn't know that. i would have assumed that australia would have fewer laws and rules than we have.

my history of Australia pretty much boils down to having watched Man From Snowy River a few times.

It's pretty fucked over here. Stupid shit like needing a gun licence for a paintball marker (cant even think what airsoft would be like) pretty much governs everything we do.

Just massively over governed in general

your income tax rate must be astronomical.

About 37c in the dollar. Add to that fuel at $1.40litre. $20 for a 6pack beer. $40+ for a pack of smokes (not carton- a packet) and pretty much no change from $1mil to get a house. It's not cheap living

so if you are just a regular guy, maybe without a college degree, but not some complete retard (like RD), and you have a regular job. Say you manage a big nationally franchised store. You manage one of those stores in a town. What kind of salary would you have? A store manager for a Walmart over here would make around $55,000 per year (in Texas). I'm just curious how that would compare over there.

Not sure about larger stores, but a retail manager of say a clothing store would be around those$$. An engineer straight out of college/uni would be probs mid/high $60's. Our adult minimum wage is $19.84hr

well, shit those wages aren't much different. minimum wage is higher, but those salaries aren't any different than here. but holy shit, middle income earners paying 37% income tax and paying that much for cars and houses is insane. how in the fuck does that work. do most people rent? Or get 50 year mortgages?

Its still the expectation that you'll buy your own home, its just very expensive/difficult/competitive to get into the market. Mortgages used to be 25yrs, but now 30 is pretty standard.

I have rocked one in the past, hair is pretty short for the summer heat right now. Once you confirm The Holden has shipped will have one for delivery.

Yeh, I suppose you know that we're a nanny state over here and pretty much everything has a law (and a correspondingly fine)

actually, no, i didn't know that. i would have assumed that australia would have fewer laws and rules than we have.

my history of Australia pretty much boils down to having watched Man From Snowy River a few times.

It's pretty fucked over here. Stupid shit like needing a gun licence for a paintball marker (cant even think what airsoft would be like) pretty much governs everything we do.

Just massively over governed in general

Odd that so many here are pushing for a nanny state. Rugged individualism is a primary micro-aggression.

And masculinity is being purged by academia as well. “Toxic,” dontcha know.

Yep, our education system is following the same route. Everyone is butthurt about something minuscule.
Basically pushing that the government should do this, control that etc. No! No fucking way- we need less government control, not more.

No worries, Man. Those things always fail eventually and everything returns to normal. But this they are pushing now is off the charts- like some mental amusement park from Hell.

[Cyberhonky]

Definitely. I was in Tasmania 10 odd years ago and there was one on the side of the road standing over a kill- would've been the biggest one I've seen. Every bit of 3ft tall.

[Cyberhonky]

Woo(fuckin)hoo! Our 7 day lockdown (that went for 14 days incidentally) ends tomorrow night. Then we're free.

lol, no we're not
