I didnt need another reasom to not go to australia but you just gave me one

visa shenanigans are always frustrating pal 🫂 worldwide

Oof 😓

Glad to read that you’ve finally made it.

Visas are a pain in the neck!

I didnt realise how batshit australia was, until covid times. My little brain had them, until then, as basic Brits with wonky accents, sun tans and liked surfing.

I've since learned more - eg, it is illegal not to vote. And when you do vote - they give you a hotdog.

This is an incentive structure drawn up from dog training. They show you the abyss if you dont do what they want, and they show you a child-level incentive if you do the thing (vote, get vaxxed)

Australia is now a feral, orphaned, authoritarian fork of the british empire. They are now distinct from their origin. They became fascist. They had no "home" to stay loyal to, and with that lost direction, became a concentrated and consolidated independent state.

They are a Galapagos Islands of culture and politics. Broke from the continent, in a bubble. Very similar results in south africa. The colonies were wild racists. Stern, mean, brutal. They werent the same people who lived in Great Britain. They were the soldier ants.

So you put them in shit hot countries where everything is trying to kill you, the weather, the animals, diseases, the locals. The food wont grow, etc.

Should we be surprised these societies actually became (partly), the things they competed against?

England made a fucking mess tbh, started the USA, then lost a fight to it. Same Canada, India, The middle east, Oz, Carribean, Africa.

Brittania covered the globe in structure, definitions of right and wrong (in law), and they broke the rules in front of them. Leaving these child-states as they became teenagers.. Evicted from their futures.

Earth - All the broken children of a massive empire. Now they are all a weird copy of the worst aspects of their father, all fucked up and traumatised.

Not many countries that don't derive their root identities from opposition and independence from Britain - their father nation.

This coffee is amazing - byeeee.

What a story, what a hussle 😲

Talk about long form.

A small story on why digital peer-2-peer cash might just catch on…

I actually think one of the truly undervalued parts of Nostr is the ID I can trust, combined with the natively connected Bitcoin wallet funded via zaps

It’s like having a public bank account that anyone can fund

What if none of this happened by accident? The universe might be talking to you, and asking you to build something that fixes some of these clown world shenanigans.

Just a thought

What an unnecessary hassle 😱

Worldwide visas for countries with passports that are not strong is a nightmare 👎🏽👎🏽

And you have knowledge about the situation, can you imagine someone completely naive?

The system is rotten and broken! Slow and ineffective. It sucks. Fix the money fix the world 🏴‍☠️

You don't need to use ApplePay or a mobile app to apply for a visa

Sucks to suck sometimes.

Wishing the world was different doesn’t absolve you of your responsibility to follow the rules and jump through the hoops.

First world problems is what you’ve got.

i feel like I have an experience like this once a month. stuff is so broken it's not even funny

If only there was another system :)

The purple haired man said the website is too confusing so he HAD to use an app on his iPhone which only let's him pay with Apple pay.

Such a bad take.

1) The website is available if you don't want to use the app. The app is just a convenience tool. Nobody is making you use an app.

2) Your app has to use apple pay, because you're on an iPhone, and yeah... Apple forces people to use Apple pay. Wake the fuck up and get off your iPhone.

Stop pretending that fighting for privacy means complaining about your crappy iPhone experience

What a crazy story. How much time you finally invested into getting on board of a flight?

annoying, but u could have prepared better

wow, that is a crap-ton of complaining about fiat gov’t stupidity that is exactly what you seem to already know to be the truth of such systems. If you quit trying to work within all the rules maybe you wouldn’t be so frustrated? Is interviewing this dude in person THAT important? I didn’t even know about you or him before this rant on Nostr. No offense meant to your hustle, but maybe rethink how important all this is to you and others.
