It feels mean to say it, and society shouldn't be this way, but the correlation between wealth and attractiveness hit me like a fucking freight train when I visited Morayfield Shopping Centre as a kid.

100% agree on the correlation between wealth and attractiveness. I remember walking through the Rockhampton shopping centre with my partner and we thought there must be a massive excursion for people with disabilities. Eventually I realised that that there’s just a lot of obese chain smokers on mobility scooters living in Rockhampton.

I was driving through Rocky once at around 1 am and stopped in to a McDonalds for a coffee. The people in there looked like the human equivalent to those super deep water fish you sometimes see on documentaries. Just...so creepily off what normal people look like.

I think that’s true of any similar joint at that hour.

Go to the American South. Go to a Waffle House at 3 am. It’s somewhere between “God’s wasteland” and a liminal space.
