Africa is harder than Australia. Not even close.
maybe you just spawn in the middle of austrailia desert with nothing
Thinking I’m on easy mode and then getting hit in the face with bear mace while crossing UCLA’s campus.
Thinking I’m on hard mode while I drive my Bentley through Plettenberg Bay.
When are we talking about, here? Much of Europe is a disease-ridden mosquito swamp if you go back a few thousand years.
Little racist there my guy. Also, America is pretty “hard mode” for a lot of people.
That’s the interesting thing about empire, it’s self similar. A whole class of people may grow up geographically in or near the core, but their experience of life has more in common with someone in the semi- or outer periphery in terms of access to necessities or stability of life.
Difficulty in America is pretty much down to your initial stats.
Initial stats and current location. Some places want you dead for being the way you were born.
You miscatagorized the US Hard is the correct category.
I’m gonna be real with you all, I’m in Australia and it’s a little embarrassing how hard you think we have it over here compared to the shit I’ve heard from other places. Like don’t fuck with the animals and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see and you’re golden. I’ve had to deal with random violence like three times in my 34 years here. It’s pretty alright here.
You can’t fool me. I’ve seen your videogame prices.
and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see
Serious question: do you check your bed before you crawl into it for the night? Like, what’s the level of paranoia you guys have there? Does the room get a quick glance then you just go “yeah, I’m sure everything is fine”? Or do you turn all the lights on, rip the duvet up, and smack the bed frame to scare off any creepy crawlies that might be lingering about?
Haha no not quite that paranoid. Nah it’s mostly a rule for like moving stuff around in the garden and if you’re in the bush or whatever. Like the shit you have to worry about will either let you know, or set up a home far away from you. Generally. So it’s kind of another way of saying don’t put you hand into a redback nest.
Though saying that most people have had harrowing huntsman spider encounters, often in bed. They’re the most common surprise as they actively move around to hunt prey, instead of building webs. They can’t really hurt humans, aside from hiding behind your sun visor in the car and scaring you half to death, like my girlfriend had last year. They are a non zero statistic in cause of car accidents unfortunately.
Thanks!
Ya’ll fucking crazy
Eh, I see plenty of shit around the world that makes me happy I’m here. It’s fucking wild to think that after your cats have found yet another majestic galloping hand sized spider that you have to save from them.
Probably the most I check in day to day life is just under the toilet seat before I sit on it. Haven’t yet had a spider under there yet but have definitely heard of it. Otherwise just being careful of huntsmen when you have something like two sheets of iron or wood, as they love to be in between them.
Have otherwise had little spiders come out from the car’s crevices while driving and calmly pulled over to deal with it.
Overall not really that paranoid or bad in Australia
