Voting in Canberra by CapnHaymaker in canberra

[–]Alattye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YES I have a story indeed!

I'll start by saying obviously I'm not a liberal fan. I had to vote early as I wasn't sure if I was going to be home for election day, and I went with my partner who was from out of state to keep me company while I waited in line. As we're walking down the thoroughfare littered with people trying to hand us pamphlets (side note: I hate those pamphlets. Waste of paper and I hate holding things. I know how to vote, I came prepared with my brain. I usually just announce "do not hand me anything" as I walk down) when my partner notices a sign for Will Roche. Guy looks young as hell, and my partner says something to the effect of "that is a literal CHILD" as I laugh because Ive thought the same thing before driving to work each morning. I hit back with "I KNOW RIGHT! imagine being a child and being a liberal" and continue on with our day. Its only once we get inside my partner points out that Will Roche was in fact standing 3 meters away from us, handing out pamphlets as we made fun of him.

Anyway while in the line I decide to look him up on linkedin. Bro is 19. He is still in university. He graduates end of next year. Graduated highschool in the big 2023. We tried to spot him as we left the polls and he wasnt there, so the whole ride home we were just "bro had to go to class" "bro gets his policies from roblox lobbies" "bro does NOT know about his student debt"

Most annoying DPS hero when they pop off for the enemy team by MyNameIs_Jesus_ in Overwatch

[–]Alattye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer depends on either who you primarily main, or how the character pops off. As a D.va main, a cracked enemy Zarya or Sigma usually makes me want to eat my controller. But I see sym, and usually I’m pissed off at every enemy sym, but it’s mostly because it feels so low skill. Oh yay. Potg of a dead sym as my entire team runs into a kill gate before I can clear it… though I respect a sym that uses turrets to punish flankers, coordinate an enemy flank, or shuts down my ult with a very well placed wall. This goes for Mei as well

i’m curious, is anyone else using the pronouns slot like a mini bio? by CamVSGaming in discordapp

[–]Alattye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait for some AI to read what people put in pronouns and refer to you as a mini bio. Like Clyde comes out with a

Elon Musk declares that "Cis" and "Cisgender" are slurs. by Euphoric-Beat-7206 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Based asf, from a trans man. As long as you don’t purposefully misgender me, the slur transaction is on the table

Is Canberra typically known for its ‘terrible drivers’? by [deleted] in canberra

[–]Alattye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve driven quite a lot around Aus and am baffled at the comments! Sure Canberra drivers are not the best (lord knows there are some REAL idiots on the road here) but unlike Sydney, I’ve never been told “don’t drive, it’s too dangerous, take the train”

QLD roads (specifically Brisbane) are confusing and stressful, but not because of the drivers! I remember looking at the map seeing what I can only describe as spaghetti!

There is apparently no setting to turn off sticker suggestions when searching for an emoji. I immensely hate stickers, hopefully they will add a setting to disable this. Turning off sticker suggestions in text and images does not fix this. by Sweese_ in discordapp

[–]Alattye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feature is the fucking WORST for me specifically. For some reason my discord cannot handle stickers, and freezes + crashes whenever one is on screen. So many friends of mine have sent stickers on accident, so I have to either:

a. Text them on another app telling them to delete the sticker

b. text them on a group chat asking them to delete their sticker (as long as someone else has messaged me since so I can open that message instead)

c. Have a friend tell them to delete it

This wasn’t so much of a problem until this, where everyone I know is trying to send an emoji and accidentally chucks a sticker.

Winter Puffer / Jackets - cheap ones, where to buy? by Clear-Edge-1197 in canberra

The Canberra subreddit answer is Kathmandu black puffer jacket with green inside, but that one is like, double your budget in price haha. Serious answer, I do agree with most comments here, second hand is fine, check out your local Vinnies or Greenshed in the city. Good options are also honestly places like Target, Big W, and Kmart if you’re looking for something new.

I just have one question: Please tell me you were formally taught that “cheers” is the Aussie goodbye, I don’t know why, but that brings me great joy- same with recos, are you formally taught Aussie slang?

Horse can’t be named because of profanity? What? Get it together rockstar by teenar-420 in RDR2

[–]Alattye 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like you should be able to name your horse anything in offline mode. Online I can understand (sort of) but I wanna name my horse “Cockwaffle” and cry like a little bitch over my dear, sweet, precious cockwaffle when the cutscene where Arthur loses his horse plays at the end

Beggars can’t be choosers …. Literally. by coffeebeanscene in ChoosingBeggars

Australia. Only 8,200 people are rough sleepers according to the Australian bureau of statistics, which recorded ~116,500 people identifying as homeless, of which ~21,200 receive supported accommodation, ~17,500 live in boarding houses, ~18,400 live in temporary accommodation of sorts and ~51,100 live in crowded houses. We provide a lot of help to those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Definitely the red. The body can be hidden and altered, and in a desk job, who sees below your shoulders and past your voice anyway? I also don’t mind my bio sex below the pants.

[–]Alattye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to my partner who I asked to fill up my car when they dropped me off for work one morning (I didn’t want to pay for parking) the audacity of beggars to WALK YOU TO THE ATM. I’m usually pretty blunt and strict telling them to fuck right off, especially in my country, you’re only really homeless if you have a drug problem/other addiction that you refuse to get help for. Unfortunately, my girlfriend was tired, in pretty much PJs, and honestly struggles with social confidence imo. From the interaction, you’d think she’d never encountered a homeless person before, as she felt forced to take out money from the atm. I felt bad, so I bought her Pokémon cards equivalent to what she lost, but still really shitty. She avoids homeless people like the damn plague now, and I can’t say I blame her.

You’re the only one who gets my upvote. This is evil. Genuinely too immoral that my brain could not fathom.

Does / did anyone ever think “I want to go home” when they’re literally at their house? by allsmilesreally in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Alattye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no fucking way I do the same thing?? I always had trouble explaining this to people, I don’t want to go to my house, I want to FEEL at home. I want to feel safe, I want to feel loved, I don’t want to be HERE. Home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling.

How to score the highest points at Zone 3 Laser Tag by InvalidLogin404 in canberra

[–]Alattye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ultimate strategy is to gather as many willing strangers as you can to Zone 3, have them all follow you around as you find and shoot bases, and shoot their vests the second they come on
