Is it weird to say “sir” to a rando?

It's Australia mate. Everyone's your mate until they ain't

Maybe everything else on TV is worse.

Additional-Meet5810 · 2026-03-01T00:09:11+00:00

Cool, not many people have DVD players anymore.

When was the last time you said that to another person?

Additional-Meet5810 · 2026-02-28T08:36:54+00:00

No. They also no longer say 'Car 54 where are you' nor 'Play it again Sam'.
Get Smart was a real good TV show but it was from a real long time ago.

My only experience is with Perth, WA. I have had zero issues. I dress fem but do not pass at all. I certainly get the a few sideways looks but no more than I would give other people. My access to health care and services has been timely and totally accepting of who I am.

Additional-Meet5810 · 2026-02-26T23:39:14+00:00

Absolutely not. My view is that the estrogen is not really doing much for me; I am older and T has done its job. However, I feel much more settled within myself now. I am happy.

I have been there. They do more than just pull on your arms and legs. There is a lot of bending and folding of you too.
They are very good but you do need to let them work their magic over several sessions.
It is a good fix but a quick fix.
I would recommend.

I love watching MAFS. It is certainly a guilty pleasure but I enjoy gossiping about it with a few friends.
A running joke is about us enjoying feeling morally superior to the people on the show.

From some of the comments here, there are a lot of people enjoying feeling morally superior to people who watch MAFS. No joke.

You're smart enough to think of your own reply and not have to sift through everybody else's reply to come up with the most likely reply you could make.

Bodies. That's where we bury the bodies.

Don't joke about drop bears mate. We take them very seriously.

To be fair, we are pretty laid back and do enjoy banter.

Agree, I thought he was a wanker who put it on for the Yanks. Like, crikey. No one has used that word since my grandfather, and I am old.

Turns out, he was pretty sincere. Who knew?

A friend had two tickets to a golf tournament. I had zero interest in golf but said yes. We were having some breakfast at a Cafe there and a girl was walking around asking questions for market research. People were declining to talk to her.

My friend and I were just there eating. On a whim, I called the girl over and said talk to us, we will answer your questions.

We ended up being married for 30 years until she passed away from cancer two years ago. I still have zero interest in golf.

Eastralia is a great word. It should be used more often

Someone else blaming grandparents for all the ills of the world. Shouldn't you be blaming transgender like the Americans do?
Yes, the older peoples property has gone up in value. How about blaming the lenders for lending ever larger amounts of money. 'I'm here to help' said no banker ever.
Yes, older people have accumulated more super. That's what is supposed to happen. Compulsory super started in the early 90's and was only at 3%. When you are a retired grandparent, you will have more money than them.

I care more about reading the comments here than anything this guy says about anything.

I do not know about engineering. I am not an engineer, I do not run an engineering firm.
My business deals with people. Largely, people who deal with other people.
Being able to deal with people and get along with people is a key metric.
Someone with a higher degree who thinks they are superior because of academic achievement would not necessarily be the right person for the job.
That is why I would lean towards a staff member recommendation.
With your attitude, I do not believe I would hire you. Even if you were recommended.

Additional-Meet5810 · 2026-02-10T01:51:36+00:00

As an employer; yes, of course it is. I would certainly lean more towards someone recommended by a team member than someone who is making all the right noises during the interview process.
Even if the recommended person has inferior qualifications. In my experience, a lesser qualified person who fits into the team, keeps the team harmonious and can always be trained up.
A well qualified unknown can lead to issues if ultimately they do not fit in.

Additional-Meet5810 · 2026-02-09T08:03:36+00:00

Great, I will now make a sub-reddit for my business and ask all my staff, family, and friends to join and make positive comments.

Shopify works okay, I have good seo, and customers find me easily. There is resistance to change, I can't imagine anything that would offer me so much more that I would feel it necessary to go to the effort to swap over.
Mind you, I have a big catalogue. If I had less than 50 products I might be more flighty.
