I'm feeling pretty... Blackpilled, at the moment. Maybe even worse than that. Things are bad. Things keep getting worse. Not just politically, but... As a human being. All the failed relationships, all the lost friendships, all the... Shit, that has happened in my life, is sort of getting to me pretty bad.
But more than that, it feels like we're losing. Like things... Are spiralling out of control (in Aus, but also outside it). I literally can't look at ANY popular media, or any sort of news, without being utterly bombarded by it.
So... If you've got a good "whitepill", or just... Something that counteracts all this... Existential angst, and feelings of sheer... Doom, I would appreciate hearing it, I guess. Thanks. While it lasts, and while I last.
Yeah, I didn't look into it very much. There's an exemption for if you intend to stay away for more than 3 months, with a "compelling" reason. Unfortunately 'let me out before I do something we all regret' whilst compelling, probably isn't a smart thing to say. And yeah no advice on how to work around the vaccine stuff either, that's a whole mess of reading that I have no need to deal with so fuck that.
That the 3-month exemption exists and the exit ban shit just doesn't look long-term sustainable make me think they don't intend to keep it up like this for more than a few more months. Especially with everything blowing up over there, they're cracking the whip right now but they're gonna want to release some pressure real soon. There'll still be a bunch of bullshit rules going forward but they'll start opening up more loopholes with time. There's a lot of prep to be done if you intend to gtfo, so in the meantime you can make some plans on where to go, work on getting visa documents in order, and planning what you can do when you get there I guess. As well as maybe trying to orchestrate some 'compelling reason' you have to be elsewhere so you can meet the current exceptions too, in case they take too long to ease up on that shit.
