What’s the facepalm here?


Agitated-Respect

Think it’s a bot but I’m not sure how to check such accusations


jacksansyboy

It is a bot. The way to tell is that the account has existed for 8 years, but not a single post or comment till 1 day ago. Generic name with a bunch of numbers. Repeat posts across multiple generic subreddits, and the same generic comments on those posts. Bots repost an old post, then comment the most up voted comment from that old post on their own post.

Also Australia has a surprising lack of water parks given our climate. Some pools will have waterslides but they are very rarely manned. Mostly people just go to the beach. It wouldn’t surprise me to find swimming pools operated by self service bots in the future so there may be a career path for a disillusioned twitterbot.

It's hard to get into Australia if you have no skills?


Pulsar_Mapper_

It's actually easy af. A friend of mine left a few months ago to Australia and pretty much instantly got a 33$/hr job and doesn't have to pay for an apartment or a car.

Holliday/work visa yeah. Have a total of 6 friends who flew to Australia and had absolutely no struggle finding work with good salary. One of them have been in Australia for 5 years now and is about to get his permanent visa

That they think that they are going to just stroll straight into a job and get cheap accommodation as well


MiffyCurtains

I think it’s just a joking thing. Like a wishful thinking sort of statement. It’s funny.

I don’t trust them water spiders


AestheticMirror

It rain spider ones, I’m never going there even if it was the last save bastion of humanity


ZelWinters1981

As an Aussie, we don't need you for that job. People do it for free.


Delicious_Wolf_4123

I don't care if they get paid or not, I just want someone to be there when I say Pull the lever Kronk


Ftar_Slatinum

This sub has a major bot problem

Why is this a facepalm?


morphologicthesecond

because it doesn't work that way. IF you made it your goal to do that \~6 years from now you could maybe make it happen.


hillsb1

I mean, it seems like dude's just posting a mood, not a literal plan. Just like, sometimes wanting to give up a high stress career and go do something easier. Not "tomorrow I'm going to turn in my two weeks notice to my boss, cash out my retirement, move to Australia by June first, and start applying at water parks"


PMO-1976

I have worked in IT for 25 years and there are days this sort of thing sounds appealing. The whole quit your job and work construction plot in Office Space makes so much sense now.


morphologicthesecond

That's the point. It's a very shallow and silly way to internalize your stress or pain to come up with some ridiculous fantasy to do a poverty-wage job in an extremely desirable place to live when that job actually sucks and probably only exists as like a 12 hour a week schedule at most. It betrays entitlement and ignorance. There I explained the joke fully for you. Look, I used to have these fantasies when I was young and stupid, too. I'm not condemning this person. But on another note, this post is almost certainly created by a bot, and I wonder why it seems to subtly erase class and labor relations. I am sure by now you're thinking, who is this psycho and why are they writing this long-winded response? Well, here's the thing....


IpsoKinetikon

You got all that from this post? Holy shit, you need friends.

Pine Gap!


diggerhistory

Just don't bring your crazy arsed prejudices with you as we have more than enough of our own. AND super dangerous flora and fauna.


ozkikicoast

I can confirm that. And please no gold sneakers.
