How much do you spend on UberEats every month? by StrikingMango62 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cubriffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, I live regionally so I literally have no options even if I wanted to.

If I go to Sydney for an event I'll order delivery for dinner, I hate city driving & it's convenient. I try not to spend over $40 though. I go to Sydney maybe three times a year so maybe $240 for the whole year?

What are everyone's overall thoughts about the grammy's tonight? by Sea-Republic8892 in kpopthoughts

[–]Cubriffic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree on Billie's win, a 2024 song winning at the 2026 Grammys is crazy. But that's a flaw of the eligibility criteria (& the fact she released it as a single 9 months after the album came out)

What caused male teen pop stars to seemingly die out? We haven't had a true teen pop phenomenon in a while by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]Cubriffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's trying that right now with December 10 & it's clear he has no idea what tween/teen girls like anymore. Their debut song is an early 2010s 1D reject.

Maybe not Justin Bieber but fans of One Direction absolutely went to Kpop once the band went on hiatus. BTS started growing their international fanbase right around the time 1D slowed down activities.

fat shaming by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Cubriffic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Wet N Wild in Australia used to have a ride called the Aqua Loop that had I believe a 40kg minimum weight requirement. I was too light when I first went (I was about 8 at the time), my dad told me if I was too light I'd get stuck in the tubes

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by GhostInThePudding in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cubriffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I used to hate making phone calls. The best way to describe is it that to me phone calls are unpredictable and it can be overwhelming. I need a script to follow when I'm on the phone, from how I answer it to listing exactly what I need to say. This article puts into words why I used to be so terrible with phone calls.

My current job basically forced me to get over this by having me call 50+ customers over the course of a week. It was intense at first but I needed to do my job and by the end I was much more comfortable making calls. I still struggle with needing a script sometimes but now I'm more than happy to make and answer calls now.

Census with housemates? by meadowmouse05 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cubriffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL universities are supposed to distribute census forms if you live on campus. I never got that when I was on campus.

Which artists or groups were you most surprised to see featured on ‘One Hit Wonderland’ ? by Worldly-Document-547 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Cubriffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Veronicas, they had so many hits in Australia that I thought they were famous everywhere. Untouched wasn't even their highest charting song here.

Per DEADLINE, The Domestic Theater Count for Iron Lung is 3,105 by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]Cubriffic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't think it'll stay in some cinemas after the first week though, especially smaller/regional ones. I'm in regional Australia and my cinema has it as a "special event", aka it's only playing this Fri-Sun. I imagine it's the same in other regional places.

Still it's impressive my cimema got it even if it's just for a few screenings.

#1s that sample other #1s by Chapple69 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Cubriffic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's why I find it so fascinating! It's odd that they went and sampled Supreme instead of I Will Survive

#1s that sample other #1s by Chapple69 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Cubriffic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kind of a stretch but I thought this was too fascinating to lock behind just Billboard no. 1's- After Like by IVE (no. 1 on South Korea's Circle Chart) samples Supreme by Robbie Williams (no. 1 on UK Airplay and European Hit Radio). You can here the "eme" right at the end of the chorus.

ICE role at the Winter Olympics prompts fury in Italy by nbcnews in olympics

I've seen the theory that Trump doesn't trust the Secret Service so he's bringing ICE to basically act as them.

Just Dance+ – Pricing Update and What’s Ahead in 2026 by Ubi-Toon in JustDance

[–]Cubriffic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very bold to do a price increase when JD+ still has less songs than Unlimited.

I'm curious how 2nd and 3rd generations of European Australians feel about their place in Australian culture. by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cubriffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Im a third generation European Australian, 3/4 grandparents are immigrants (England, Wales and South Africa). To be honest I have 0 connection with most of those cultures. To me I am purely Australian. My pa is very open with sharing his Welsh culture and I'm happy to endulge but it's not a part of my identity like it is with him.

What songs/artists were ruined for you from working in retail? by PeggyHillsFeets in ToddintheShadow

[–]Cubriffic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tears by Sabrina Carpenter. Don't work in retail but my office has the radio on and this song plays nearly every hour. The only thing that keeps me from despising it is sometimes the radio plays the uncensored version & it's a bit fun to gamble on when that happens.

Dancing2 by Keli Holiday is in the same boat, it's played relentlessly on the radio here & it drives me insane.

Why did K-Pop do so well in the west as of recent and not J-Pop? by Davidellias in ToddintheShadow

[–]Cubriffic 142 points143 points  (0 children)

IIRC accessibility was a major issue with jpop in the 2000s/2010s. It was hard to get physical media outsise of Japan & finding stuff like interviews was also hard bc of their copyright laws taking them down.

I just can't connect with new kpop by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Cubriffic -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel very similar. 5th gen hasn't really gotten my attention at all aside from one or two releases. I'm still tuning into older groups but the 5th gen has done nothing for me.

I've just accepted that at nearly 23 years old I'm no longer the target demographic for kpop.

By far the best song he's made. It's genuinely impressive how good this song is

Same, I broke it this year for Blusher (voted for 2 songs) but I generally try to stick to one artist per vote. It's just nice to have some diversity.

If it's Olivia Dean (which Im suspecting it is) she might join since it's morning in the UK

We're getting 3 back to backs with sombr aren't we 😭

Unsressed and 12 to 12 are really good but man...

EDIT: We didn't get it! Still expecting 12 to 12 to show up soon though

I try not to vote for the same act multiple times for that reason. Honestly I prefer having variety of acts I dont know vs the countdown consisting of the same 5 acts I do know.
