  • you often need to buy it from other countries. For instance, Russia. Not great.

    Yeeeeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. Sure we (Australia) are conservative with our fears of mining and exporting uranium, especially with the Cold War and reactor whoopsies around the world. But historically it doesn’t take much for us to go down on an ally.

    Just let us finish unloading all our coal off to the worst polluting nations first, then we’ll crack the top-shelf stuff.










  • Scammers abroad: Troll with randomness. Laugh at inappropriate times. Nod at them while making the eating food gesture. Randomly start pointing down a street like you’re trying to give directions but just shrug. Pick a random sports team name and say, “Gooooo EAGLES!” while nodding and dancing. Basically pick some random thing, pretend they said it, and you’re going along with it.

    If they’re pointing to friendship braclets, you say “9 o’clock.” even though it’s 1:30. If they keep doing it, you just laugh, nod, and clap.

    My favourite is pretending I’m deaf and making up signing. When they start gesturing, I repeat the gesture in shock. When they nod, I act disgusted like they’re sick in the head.

    They will very quickly move on since you’re a waste of time. The more awkward you make it, the better, especially if you’re drawing looks from others.

    Oh, I’ve never looked into it, I just noticed it sometimes. I don’t say anything harmful or nasty, just unpopular so I expect downvote burial even before I hit the post button haha. I figure that’s how it’s always meant to work. Downvotes handle dipshit remarks, mods handle malicious ones. But seems entire conversations with multiple people get removed because, despite all the positive upvotes and people involved in a good ol’ fashion discussion, a mod has a different personal opinion and it all goes. Even the off-hand comments connected to that thread.
