My understanding is that the words and phrasing, and the overall scam, are a filter for idiots. Only the dumbest need apply.

We have to deal with them at the moment because we're staying with an elderly relative and her house, her rules - fair - and she is worried about switching providers. If something did go wrong and she lost her number, it would be pretty awful. So we're stuck with Telstra.
We're on our third modem with them in a little over a year (had to get a decent one, working from home). The absolute shit fight to get it replaced each time only served to reinforce that we are entirely correct on our views of their business. They have made it as tangled a web as Centrelink (another org that we have luckily not had to deal with in some time), and their customer service is basically non existent.
To their credit, their store staff did their best to help but their hands were so incredibly bound by red tape that there wasn't much to they could do. Also, the credit we were promised after the second go around was never applied to the account. Wasn't worth our time to chase it, because we actually value our time and have wasted enough of it.
And that's just one consumers experience.
The stuff they do on a national level is absolutely shameful. They need to be broken up.
What didn't they do.
Or, what have they done that's worthwhile.
Bunch of parasites.
Living with an elderly relative in law, I often wondered if she thought I was watching porn by myself in the bedroom while her grandson/my partner is out in the lounge room watching shows or playing his own vidya games. 😅
I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is.
The issue is the 4/20 (blaze it).
It also seems fake.
My mother certainly told me it was necessary as a child, but I think it was more in the "upholding the social contract" and "not being a lazy arse" sense of the word.
My partner has the best of both worlds - so called "agile" seating, and stern talks from HR if he works from home more than once a month or so (even if his direct manager is ok with it!).
I know it's not really that important but when I can't sleep, or when I wake up at 3am, it's all I can think of.
What do you call that?
Australia is present and aware.
Yep. Basically any position where you're in some sort of service to the community.
It really gives you perspective.
Also PTSD.
I gave up on it entirely probably a year or so ago, as I found if anything it was getting worse.
