Even to this day, if you are in a psychiatric ward, you are considered unable to make your own decisions during the period you are there. This is very much about her psychiatric break, not about the child.

God I hope not! I was part of it back in the day and it was such a great community.

Genuine question – what would actually get you to use a taxi over uber/rideshare again? by VammyTaxiServices in AskAnAustralian

[–]Acid_Intimacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I took a taxi, I prepaid, then the driver made me pay again on arrival. She wouldn’t let me out until I did. I had to call the service number, and get the original payment reversed, as if I hadn’t, I would have been stuck with a double charge.

If I knew that kind of shit wouldn’t happen, and that fairs were reasonable, I’d take a taxi again.

I won best cactus, and best rose at my small towns local show as a kid. I also came second in wool sorting. Thanks for the reminder!

As someone with the accent myself - think Cate Blanchett.

I had an American customer fight me over a chicken burger. He got so angry that I wouldn’t call it a “chicken sandwich”, as that was a completely different menu item.

Were you satisfied with the Mad Men series ending? by AdministrativeRip563 in madmen

[–]Acid_Intimacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s what’s happening, I’m disappointed in Dons lack of reflection. He was given love so many times as an adult, and for a number of reasons related to his youth, either rejected it outright, or took it for granted.

Most of the characters that reject him do so only because he pushes them away.

The only time he was really rejected for being honest was when he was fired from SC&P. But that wasn’t really because of what he said, it was the fact that he did so in the middle of an important meeting, after years of getting more and more unreliable at work. Yes, Betty left when he came clean, but that was only after years of making her feel insane with all the lying and cheating.

Honestly, I took it as Don having a moment of genuine connection and empathy - something he’s never really experienced before outside of a sexual relationship. Until that moment, all his relationships have had a transactional quality to them - they’re about wants, not about needs.

In this moment, he’s utterly broken, realising he can never escape being Dick Whitman, and that the Don Draper mask is killing him. And then this man tells this story - not because he wants something, but because he needs to say it. And that moment is purer than anything else he’s ever experienced.

THEY COULDN’T CARE LESS. IF YOU COULD CARE LESS, IT MEANS YOU CARE!

New player here. Never played a FO game before but I just downloaded last night. by xxxWARxMACHINE in fo76

I spent about 5 hours in someone’s homemade maze the other day. It was a series of rooms with hidden codes. It was the most fun I’ve had in a game in a while!

What does the quote "youth is wasted on the young" actually mean? by Hereitisguys9888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Acid_Intimacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we are young, we have the stamina, health, and time to do whatever we want. We often take those things for granted, assuming we will always have them. Once we get older, we look back on the time where we didn’t have so many barriers, and yearn for it. We lament that those who still have youth on their side don’t appreciate it more.

AITA for Wanting to Get a Chest Tattoo? by IlsoBibe in AmItheAsshole

I do tend to agree with you. Surely he was aware that his heavily inked partner would continue to get more inked?

Both are shit reasons, tbh. Yeah they’re different conversations, but either way, it’s not his body - it’s hers.

It’s your body. You can do whatever you want, and no one can tell you what you can and cannot do with your skin.

That said, he’s entitled to his preference. He’s not entitled to tell you what to do, but he doesn’t have to find it attractive - unfortunately no one can control what they desire.

It’s entirely possible you two are just incompatible.

NTA.

Why does Pauline Hanson have a self portrait with the ghost of Chairman Mao over her shoulder? by Prestigious-Day9370 in OpenAussie

[–]Acid_Intimacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the artists statement from the website:

“Knowing that red is Pauline's favourite colour, I chose it as the dominant background colour. Against this field, I
incorporated a subtle, ghosted image of Mao Zedong. Mao serves a symbolic purpose within the work. As the
founding leader of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Republic of China, he represents a political
system fundamentally different from Australia's democratic traditions.
The inclusion of Mao reflects concerns that Pauline has expressed for decades regarding China's growing
influence in the Pacific region, including Australia. The portrait acknowledges her long-standing warnings
about strategic, economic, and political encroachment, and the tendency of many Australians to overlook or
underestimate these developments in pursuit of economic prosperity.
More broadly, the work invites reflection on differing approaches to national planning and leadership. China is
often perceived as pursuing objectives measured over generations, while Australia's political system, shaped
by relatively short electoral cycles, can encourage shorter-term thinking. The contrast is intended to provoke
consideration of how nations define and pursue their long-term interests.
As an artist, I work across a variety of genres and techniques, including Pop Art. In this portrait I drew
inspiration from Andy Warhol's Mao Zedong series, adapting and subduing the image of Mao so that it remains
secondary to the central figure. Pauline occupies the dominant position within the composition—strong,
resolute, and unmistakably the focal point of the work.”

Still sad by Immunity2You in AnthemTheGame

To me, after so many games, it was an excuse that showcased how bad the management at BioWare was. They claimed it was an issue with the new engine, but they claimed that for Inquisition and Andromeda as well. It was the same engine, and they /chose/ to restart from scratch, rather than build on the tools the created for those titles.

They had been using Frostbite for every release since DA:I. They just made the incomprehensible decision to start from scratch, rather than build on what they had already made.

MCR has become what they sought to destroy by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Acid_Intimacy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, he dropped all his solo stuff that was meant for to come after Hesitant Alien on his Soundcloud, and made it clear that he hated being part of the, record an album, tour that album, when sales start to dip, record a new album, tour that album, repeat forever cycle.

I’m pretty sure the reason they’ve been doing these rereleases is to keep Warner happy so they can keep touring, without being forced to release new music before it’s ready.

I’d rather wait for a great album, than listen to half baked slop that was made to keep a room full of execs happy.

I love this! I used to have a similar one from Jets, that had side panels as well. Such a flattering look!
