- Comment on Speak American 1 week ago:
Australia follows British conventions. However both spellings are correct and there has been a rise in ‘z’ over the past few years with American influence.
All government websites etc use British spelling.
- Comment on Speak American 1 week ago:
As an Aussie it really grinds my gears that office defaults to American spelling. And even after I change the dictionary to Australian or UK english it still continues to insert ‘z’ into words. It’s colonise, not colonize!

I’m on a 12 month contract at the moment but the company just advertised 8 permanent jobs at my level. I’m passing on submitting an application.

Side rant here. I’m working on a project for a new application, after a couple months work I finalised the 150ish requirements, however before approval could be given to approach businesses I had to fo some internal box ticking.
I organised this technical meeting with the IT guys to run through all the requirements, tick and flick that everything was fine. It was a 3 hour meeting that I had book 7 weeks in advance to ensure everyone could attend.
3 weeks before the scheduled date a general manager insists on attending and self-invites. The moment the meeting starts the GM immediately says “they don’t want to read all these requirements” and “don’t you have a presentation?” Followed by “where are the pictures?”.
The entire meeting basically derailed there and we only made it through maybe 50% of what we needed with zero ticking or flicking. That was 3 weeks ago, the project has almost stalled now and I’m still trying to recover the time/progress/momentum I had.
Fucking managers and their demands to be included and flat out refusal to read.

I always put in “traveling overseas”
In my case this is actually true, but I’ve never had anyone question me taking 12 months off every few years

Your recipe sounds really good as well. I’ll definitely give it a try

Broccoli tossed in olive oil, cooked in an air fryer until crispy and then sprinkled with course salt. Delicious 👌🏼

How fucking wild would that be. Corporate bots scraping content off 4chan only to then edit and sanitise it for advertisers before posting it to a 4chan thread

I love having wasps around my garden. They fly around my veggies picking off any caterpillars they see, I don’t even use pesticides because the wasps do such a good job keeping the populations low.
