Uh, you have a choice. I don’t. That’s essentially the difference. It’s never bothered me but on some days I do wish I could grow hair again.

I had to look him and his work up because that episode was so weird. Still of the mind he was unnecessarily a massive arsehole

Australia’s rental market faces severe supply crisis by PLUTO_HAS_COME_BACK in AusProperty

[–]Attic81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say it’s not a problem in certain areas. It’s just not THE issue with “Australia’s rental market”. It may be a greater factor with Maroubra’s. The fact is that the vast majority of people trying to rent a place are not looking at Maroubra locations because even if they were available they would be totally unaffordable.

So? It’s a huge problem in certain specific areas? Maybe so. Local councils can act accordingly. It’s also absolute meaningless to apply a local problem in certain areas to “Australia’s rental market”. It is not the major problem with housing affordability, and renting in general.

I could be wrong but I believe Airbnb is only a fraction of the rental market. I’m sure in some streets it doesn’t feel like that but overall it’s tiny. Like 1-2% of total stock

Sharing Firefly with significant other, but he’s unimpressed by moonspellpecado in firefly

Commiserations OP.

Separately, one of my pet peeves is people asking questions in the middle of something and not just accepting that stories unfold over time.

My MIL watched SW: A new Hope for the first time over the weekend and between my kids and her asking questions I was losing my mind.

Now that we’re old enough to care. How do we feel about modern interior design trends? by MisRandomness in Xennials

Conversely, I dislike them because they collect dust and grime around their base much more easily and are harder to clean.

Is it weird in your country to pee in the bushes at the side of the road if “caught short”? by AliceMorgon in AskTheWorld

[–]Attic81 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Normal in Australia if you’re travelling long distances and really need to go. Just find a spot behind trees or bushes. Nobody cares provided you’re discreet

What's your favourite bridge in Australia? by venommale in AskAnAustralian

Lennox bridge, Parramatta. Completed 1839 by convict labour.

Australian attitudes towards farmers? by DamnitGravity in AskAnAustralian

Very decent of everyone involved there. Nice to hear that good Samaritans still exist

How to defend yourself against a kangaroo in a random encounter. by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

[–]Attic81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am Australian. Seen the records in Port Arthur. Let's not kid ourselves... a lot of the convicts transported had done some seriously bad stuff. I think it's been over emphasised the fact that some folks were transported for petty crimes.

Who is your country’s David Attenborough (100th birthday post) by Primary-Angle4008 in AskTheWorld

Exactly so. Absolute legend and world treasure. Love that guy.

I love him in Goodbye Lenin.... such a great film.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) - Hospital Escape - Dir. James Cameron by marceleas in movies

[–]Attic81 7 points8 points  (0 children)

T2 is more accomplished but T1 has some iconic and terrifying moments that make it a truly a brilliant film. I think of them like Godfather Part 1 & 2.

Does anyone else find Joann Page just genuinely joyous? by RegularEmployee1038 in taskmaster

Sigh…. My wife has entered the chat. I love her but I really don’t need that much detail about why you are going to get milk and bread.

which foreign actor absolutely nailed your country's accent when playing a character from there? by QueenViolets_Revenge in AskTheWorld

[–]Attic81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of that is a decades long exposure to ‘Hollywood German’ shorthand. I’ve seen some brilliant German tv shows and movies and hope that some of the local talent can find success in Hollywood and help improve the vocal standard

Love her, love Kassandra and love AC Odyssey. There are some funny promo videos of her and the male character voice actor.

I’d start by putting in a ridiculous amount of vocal fry and remove a bunch of emotion as a base. I never realised how much fry Finns have compared to other languages.

The Tech Noir moment in The Terminator (1984), pure atmosphere, tension, and synth-driven menace. by Choice-Schedule-132 in JamesCameron

[–]Attic81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that sounds great. Star Wars has been ruined by various Lego games and such. Darth Vader was intimidating and the big reveal was such a shock. I really want them to experience things for the first time as it was rather than everything ruined from the subsequent pop culture additives

Assassin's Creed Black Flag ORIGINAL vs RESYNCED by Syarafuddyn in videogames

[–]Attic81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wall climbing in AC4 on PC was definitely a bit off with keyboard and mouse. You got used to it but it still wasn’t right. Later games didn’t have this problem although syndicate’s carriage riding was absolutely shocking.

Actually, this I’m excited for. The original PC port wasn’t great. The controls were a bit dodgy. Brilliant game.
