Fatherly hazing
  • Not sure if you're pulling our legs or really don't know..

    We've had the term "suss c*nt" in Aussie English for decades, and British English isn't that far removed.

  • We compared the finances of 30-year-olds now, to 30-year-olds 30 years ago
  • Yeah, I'm sorry, I had to stop reading when I read that they own not just one but TWO homes. I saw red.

    Meanwhile, I'm relatively terrified that my retirement will be living in a cardboard box under a bridge after suffering from multiple strokes based on family history.

  • Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays
  • I agree with your terminology - updating is for often small incremental software patches.

    Upgrade would be a complete program overhaul, or more commonly in my use of it, a change to a newer, better physical product.

  • Draining entire superannuation savings wouldn’t cover most young couples’ home deposits, research finds
  • Every time I see these ridiculous solutions being proposed, I get so frustrated. My partner and I are trying to do the right thing, saving and not stealing from our future selves - but we're competing against these insane policies that do nothing but drive up the price even further.

    We just met our original goal, but the cost of a home in our regional area has pretty much doubled since we moved back after giving up on Sydney a few years back now, so we're no further ahead.

  • Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them
  • My hands are also tiny and smol, and I'm also clumsy, but I have no issues with my S23 Ultra. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • Better buy it now before they raise the price again for fun
  • As a connoisseur of poh tay toes, they look gross.

  • Worth the risk
  • Yep. Turned down one rental many years ago due to too many flights of stairs and no lift - and being too poor to hire movers.

    I got a good, thankful laugh when I watched the episode a couple of years back.

  • Worth the risk
  • Pivot! PIVOT!

    Sorry, I had to.

  • They want to be the vitims so bad
  • Love the erasure of straight, infertile couples here as well.

    "You CAN make babies" - not necessarily.

    Childfree by choice here, but the all around insensitivity to anyone not straight and fertile just really gets my goat.

  • Woman loses £650,000 injury claim after being seen tossing Christmas tree
  • I'm an Aussie, and a biscuit is a biscuit, plus I love Britcoms, yet I've never heard the term!

    I love it, though.

  • Conscientious Objector Jailed After Being Outed As PUBG Player
  • I love horror films with terrifying vengeful spirits. I get sad when someone kills a harmless spider. I love running around the wasteland of Fallout games and blasting the baddies. I cried when a bird flew into the glass of my bedroom window and died.

  • think of the shareholders
  • Exactly. I wouldn't be working in some office job; I'd be volunteering my time to give back to the community, keep me active, and maybe make some friends. All part of keeping from becoming a weird hermit, which is my natural instinct.

  • Can't even buy chicken in peace
  • We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.

    If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.

    Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven't even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don't have time when I'm working to figure these things out.

    Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!

  • Sorry, Google: After Assistant's chaotic evolution, I can't believe in Bard
  • That completely stopped working for me a while ago, but Samsung's Reminders app was able to do it well.

    I started using it instead, and the other day, uninstalled the Google Assistant app - the only time I was opening it was by accident, when I'd drift off to sleep holding my phone, and he rudely awoken by the noise it made.

  • Conservative politicians stoking Australia Day debate online with paid ads, analysis finds
  • I'm very happy for them to change the date, as long as they don't remove it altogether.

    Public holidays give me something to look forward to when I'm feeling burnt out with work.

    It should probably be kept in summer because Aussies love a BBQ, but personally I wouldn't mind winter as I love the cold.

  • My one true love
  • Get yourself a guy who looks like Aragorn but cooks like Samwise. 😍

    They've both got heart.

  • A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US
  • I've seen some very small statured people working in big chains here. I don't think Maccas and their ilk would be taking the risk of illegally employing children, at least not in countries like Australia.

    Also, if this is a young child, is it not a bit wrong to be sharing their image around like this?..

  • la pasión
  • I have taken up cross stitching and can spend an entire day just sitting and working on a one.

    I want to watch ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES before I die (well the ones that interest me), but my hands get bored so usually I'll play Switch games but then I'm often not really paying a lot of attention to either thing.

    With cross stitching, I can get focused if it's a difficult part or I've made a mistake, but mostly I can follow the plot of the show/film much better.

    Plus I get a lovely physical "trophy" at the end, and have given a few as gifts.

  • Changes we’re making to Google Assistant
  • I gave up on it entirely probably a year or so ago, as I found if anything it was getting worse.
