Not gonna lie, "flyover country" is probably not a great start in the whole empathizing/harmony building process...

Gonna be real honest, that looks like a First-Pass Render before any of the artists have started adding assets or customizing.

argumate

well that makes sense as all the wildlife looks like haphazard customisations of creatures from more polished continents

Most Australians failing to meet dietary guidelines, new research shows

Most of us probably don't even know we're failing this daily task, yet it may be seriously affecting our health.
argumate

More than one third of Australians’ daily energy intake comes from ‘junk food’ such as sweetened beverages, alcohol, cakes, confectionary and pastry products, the report found.

argumate

it’s like the Onion stories about Americans getting the bulk of their calories from beef jerky or whatever, except it’s actually true.

As many as 500 Australians each year die from Vegemite poisoning. Do your part. Use a lock, and keep your vegemite out of reach, out of mind.

It’s cool that Alaska and Australia, the geographic extremes of the Anglophone empires, each have flags of the constellations that define their respective poles

New Zealand would like a word

mitigatedchaos

You mean New Tasmania? They can’t disqualify all Australians from the legislature if there is no separate country of New Zealand anymore.

Now, some might say this is extreme, that rectifying the law is a better course of action - but the Mitigated Chaos blog is dedicated to innovative solutions to political problems, that challenge long-held preconceptions, and overturn the stale thinking of the status quo.

Can you truly say, in your heart of hearts, that you never believed that New Zealand was the rightful territory of Australia?

Other possible names include Tasmania II, Newer And More Southern Wales, and Australia Jr.

i really like your blog!

bambamramfan answered:

Thanks! That’s not really a question though. And mostly that makes me wonder “why?”

(Also I guess, why is this anonymous? Is liking my blog some dark secret?)

Which reminds me, why do people follow without liking or reblogging some posts. It always makes me curious “what did I just say to make you follow me now?” Instead they just seem to spontaneously come out of the aether.

mitigatedchaos

Sometimes a post is insightful enough to be worth reading but one does not agree enough to endorse it.

I wonder what you'd get out of a survey that was structured like voting is--i.e. *guaranteed* anonymous, without having to say your answers to a person, just marking your answers and putting it in a box--and offered to all registered voters. Actually, it seems like a good idea to have something like that anyway--having an actual legally binding vote be people's main forum for ~expressing their opinions~ is far from ideal.

argumate answered:

Current representative democracy doesn’t give voters any direct influence over specific policy questions, literal direct democracy makes them vote on every issue, and most people suggest a sensible hybrid where everyone votes on every issue but you can delegate your vote to representatives at varying levels of pickiness.

mitigatedchaos

Scrap the existing legislature and replace it with a legislature of think-tanks to whom voters delegate votes across twelve categories.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
