like, pretty much everyone i've had an extended conversation with. and people i like! or would like otherwise. i'm pretty far from PC and it's throwing me off, making me recalibrate how i think about the people i meet
― jergins, Thursday, 1 October 2009 12:35 (fourteen years ago) link
"recalibrate" not to excuse, but to put them imto some kind of context? i'm not sure what i am saying. it's all so strange and maybe the most foreign thing about this place
― jergins, Thursday, 1 October 2009 12:37 (fourteen years ago) link
i know exactly what you mean. i think a weird aspect of it is that people's actions are often better than their words, so they'll say terrible things but then act kindly and respectfully towards people of other cultures, so i think (hope?) it's less malicious than it seems, but really it's a dead loss.
― estela, Thursday, 1 October 2009 12:54 (fourteen years ago) link
also sometimes it is definitely malicious.

(nb this may not be true) i remember reading years ago that up until the 1960s it was legal to shoot an aboriginal for 'trespassing' on yr property

i'm good at rolling my eyes and no one noticing. it's an art
― jergins, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:42 (fourteen years ago) link
if they believed we'd spread it properly and still didn't like it, they might never trust us. best to let them think it was because of poor spreading technique.

i just had a brainwave, i opened the homecoming vegemite to check how much had been used during the testing and i almost fainted when i saw how much was missing, it was about ten loaves of bread worth.
