Sometimes I wish there was a aerosol that simply euthanased those whom were intolerant of others.

I mean, I realise I'd go down with that ship being awfully hypocritical of me, but at least the world would be a better place

Are you kidding me? If you're an ethnic minority you're more than aware of the discrimination that's still prevalent in this country and it's not just casual banter that I'm talking about, it's genuine racism.
Really? What are examples of rasicm you have expierienced? I'd understand a little maybe if you were middle eastern, since there are a lot of people pissed about things like schools banning people from saying 'merry christmas' because of muslims, and stuff like that, but I can't understand why there would be any racist attitudes towards Indians.
I haven't seen any examples of racism, maybe it's more prominent of the mainland or I'm just unaware.

You're Tasmanian? If so, fistbump.

But it would also explain why you don't know about the racism prevalent in Australian society.

I don't enjoy going into detail about my experiences with bigots, it'll just result in a TL;DR situation. In short, I've experienced it from primary school all the way to working in an adult environment.

I don't know what things are like in Tasmania, I've heard it's pretty nice down there actually, but in major metropolitan areas on the mainland it's not uncommon.

there are racist attitudes towards indians because idiots assume we're arabs and these happen to be the same idiots who think arabs are terrorist supporters. if you want an analogy, it would be like if i went to Germany and started calling everyone baguette-with-snail-sauce-eating faggots who can't win wars.

alternatively, people will have racist attitudes towards anyone whose culture or appearance is significantly different than their own.

Im fairly sure nazigermany could have won the war if Hitler wasnt stupid to attack all the lands at once instead of taking them one by one... Attacking russia like that wasnt smart either. But thats besides the point.

I think the problem with racism isnt racism in itself but rather the intolerance to "different", i mean the etact same situation (except not with "races") happens within different culture/social/interrest-circles and so on.
I find it really sad that its like this.

Also update on the psychotherapist if anyone cares: Thankfully i ended up being driven there by my mother but the psychotherapist essentially told me the same as LaVolpe said earlier: Go outside.
Trash Boat
and did you follow that advice?

It's a lot easier said than done

I went outside once and it was awful. There's, like, trees, and PEOPLE, and even streets with cars. Absolutely disgusting.
Azure_Kite
I once even saw a grocery store. I mean, those things even exist, and they don't deliver your purchases. How fucking abysmal is their service like srsly.
Trash Boat
At least you guys go to school/elementary/college?

Damn. University requires me to use facebook. Why won't they use forums for online interaction?
Granger
What the fuck. Leave this university immedantively.
Requiring facebook... are they serious?
piruchan
They use it for assignments and stuff. I personally prefer forums instead of facebook, but many Indonesian internet users (that I have met) have no idea how to use forums. It seems like using codes like

to post an image is a hassle for them.
Granger
But but... thats like the easiest thing ever? I mean those even got buttons to put those automatically, or if you want so you can code/confrigure your forumsoftware to automatically convert any *png *jpg and *gif urls into images so your users dont even have to press a measly button.
This universitys IT team/person seems incompetent (actually i have yet to find anyone working for school IT to be truly competent) or nonexistant if thats true.

On the bright side you probably dont have to deal with a filter/school-proxy.

Well, they know what site to block. Tried to access k*ck*ss.to and I failed

So it's been a long time since I played chess with my former high school friends. I still remember the past few years when we are used to play the game


It felt so nostalgic, considering the amount of years I've been away with them

Fun fact:

Some teachers, or professors here actually make their students do projects and make them post it on facebook and they will base the grade of that particular activity on the number of likes they get on that post, e.g. the people with the most likes gets the highest grade.
I'm not sure if it's a thing in other countries, but it is here.
Kinda ridiculous right? Basing the grades on popularity and how many people you beg for likes, god this place is full of attention whores. The education system and the way most people think is so fucked up.

As one of the people who suffered this type of injustice, I can confirm this

TL;DR: Teachers here being dumb and stupid so decided to turn the project evaluation into a like and share bullshit contest

Is it possible to get really high grades with bullshit post if it gets a lot of likes?

Edit : wow, CDFA is a BAT now

Wow. If only there were some agency through which this sort of bullshit could be regulated and punished.

I'm currently working my way through a 2000 word essay on the Socioethical impacts of Cryptocurrencies and their "sudden" popularity. It's super dry stuff.

Oh fucking hell I hated that, I share your pain. Almost every assignment group I had insisted on using facebook because as far as they were concerned there's literally nothing to the internet but facebook.

Not school, university.
Azure_Kite
Yeah, our University has an affinity to Google Docs and/or Dropbox.

It's better than Facebook, but a group I'm in now has insisted on Facebook as well =_=
