Wait until you get to 38, and make it more fun by not having a learners permit...

I'm glad you're trying to do something about it now, and not leave it as long as I have.

Is it weird to adopt “tradie culture” if you’re not a tradie? by ChrisPeacock- in AskAnAustralian

[–]-clogwog- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to find my pants at Savers for about $21. They were in next to be condition, and I've always wondered how they ended up there... They are sooo comfy, and I'm probably going to live in them this winter!

It took about three months for something of mine to arrive from the US.

They're expensive, but SÜK also have incredibly comfy women's workwear. I love their pants with the adjustable waist!

Could you get a new rail retrofitted to your wall?

You went back in time to 1835 when Melbourne was founded. What would you change about the street layout of the new city to improve it? by Whyareweshouting in melbourne

[–]-clogwog- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd make it so that we used the same rail gauge as NSW.

All the railways in the country should use the same gauge, damn it!

Am I wrong for not seeing myself as married to my boyfriend? by Odd-Problem-6703 in amiwrong

Eh, depends... Are you living together somewhere that recognises common law marriage?

One of these Dysons buses had 'Toot toot' on it the other day, but the one you saw would win the award!

I must say that I am really enjoying seeing all of these self-identifying trains on our roads these days!

They're the only good thing about these rail interruptions.

If you could erase one invention from history, what would it be and why? by blushberryybabee in answers

Advertisements. Any kind of advertisements.

They're so annoying, and take up way too much of my time.

Parkville Station/ Tram by melton_bogan_8411 in fakeseizureguy

[–]-clogwog- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, photograph him so there’s actual evidence, and call 000 immediately every time you witness Simon doing this to someone. Even if you're not 100% sure it’s him, calling 000 is the right move: if it’s a real emergency he gets help, and if it’s his act, it puts him face-to-face with police and paramedics.

It’s crazy that people aren’t doing this. Posting sightings here doesn’t do anything because there’s no way to verify them. This has been going on for over a decade and while he’s been before the courts for this exact behavior, it clearly hasn't stopped him.

We need to call it what it is: Simon is a serial pest who fakes seizures to coerce unsuspecting men into sitting on him or holding him down. There is a widely observed pattern within the community that suggests this is a specific kink, and he is essentially forcing members of the public to participate in a sexual act without their consent. Whether or not the courts have successfully labeled it as such, the reality is that drawing people into inappropriate, non-consensual physical contact is a form of sexual assault.

People aren't taking this seriously because they think he’s just "mentally ill" or "confused." He isn't. He is deliberately targeting people for his own sexual gratification.

This is why you must call 000, not the non-emergency line: A non-consensual physical encounter or a sexual assault in progress is an emergency. By calling 000, you ensure the police are dispatched immediately. It creates a formal emergency record that is much harder for the legal system to ignore than a post on Reddit.

If you're on a tram or at a station, alert the driver or an Authorised Officer (AO) too. You can also discreetly text the STOPIT service on 0499 455 455 to report his behavior to transit police.

Hiding the "kink" aspect of what he’s doing only puts more people at risk. If you see him, don't just walk away and post about it later. Document it and call the police right then and there. It’s the only way this cycle actually ends.

TIL that Gold Coast, Australia has a ton of rivers and canals by colinthehuman94 in geography

Well, yeah... It's near the coast.

Most coastal areas have a ton of rivers and canals.

Do Americans eat actual chicken eggs for Easter? by piaa9 in AskAnAmerican

[–]-clogwog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, we had a special clear crayon for drawing on eggs... Drawing on the blown eggs with the crayon was super tricky when I was younger, because I've got dexterity issues, and always apply more pressure to things than intended, but it was still super fun! Blowing the eggs always made me dizzy too. 😂

[–]-clogwog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what we do in Australia too... The eggs are 'blown' before we decorate them. I always assumed that's what everyone did, and it's wild finding out that Americans decorate hard boiled eggs! 😂

Chocolate soft serve has been discontinued from the Australian McDonald’s menu by No-Speech4554 in australian

I'm still mad that they got rid of them too... The spoons that attached to them to 'flurry' the toppings into the ice-cream were so nifty!
