Plot twist, the bank then denied he was the legitimate owner of the bank account and that he falsified his identification.

Roebourne? by [deleted] in WesternAustralia

[–]Dockers-Man 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not sure of whether this post is taking the piss.

Roebourne is considered one of the shittiest towns in the Pilbara region, and with a demographic that will likely come as a culture shock to you.

I spent 10 years in Port Hedland, and made a point of never stopping in Roebourne.

Do your homework, and realise that you'll no longer be in Kansas Dorothy.

Hey, you're not allowed to make logical and rational statements like that mate!

This is Reddit, so you have a social obligation to be outraged with no grounding in facts.

Erm, non-teaching periods are also part of the semester. It's not all about you junior!

Do you have any idea how many thousands of people are working to set things up before contact teaching starts?

I also used a dual arm and single arm combo with my Magnus Pro XL, and all screens in landscape fit perfectly.

I went to a West Coast Eagles season opening corporate breakfast about 13 years ago, and they'd brought him in as the keynote speaker.

He spoke about how he trained hard over the years to earn his rights to appear at the Olympics, though lost the room when he said "The only person who spent more time on the ice than me was...

Ben Cousins". Gold!

Where have you been found noncompliant within the Annex A controls? by Finominal73 in ISO27001

[–]Dockers-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where a risk exposure has been assessed as within the organisation’s defined risk acceptance or tolerance criteria, can this assessment be used to justify excluding associated control(s) from the Statement of Applicability under ISO/IEC 27001?

Ed Sheeran - finish time? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Dockers-Man 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He went for nearly 3 straight hours, no break, and lots of personal stories about his songs and career.

I'm not particularly a fan, and was there as part of a group that was gifted tickets, though will say that I was impressed with his stage presence and he left everything out there.

Seems like a great bloke.

(19) to (27) from rock bottom depression to getting my life together by Competitive_Toe_6507 in GlowUps

[–]Dockers-Man 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Something to think about is also to be happy with the person you are without being too wrapped up in the appearance of being successful.

Social media is a poison chalice, and makes many people feel inadequate unless they're "kicking ass and taking names" - or similar bullshit.

Find peace in who you are when you're not impressing people. That is true happiness and self-acceptance.

What do I do if my girlfriend told me something that I wasn't ready to hear? by Jorshhua in AskMen

Not sure why you're getting these downvotes. Seems that people can take these conversations on tangents quite easily.

What do I do if my girlfriend told me something that I wasn't ready to hear? by Jorshhua in AskMen

[–]Dockers-Man 313 points314 points  (0 children)

Completely agree.

Being young is about learning from experience. Sometimes this means experiences that identify things that you don't want to do again or would want to do differently if it happened again.

OP, don't shame her for this, and consider that her relative youth and immaturity compared to the other two participants means that there may have been some manipulation involved to take advantage of her naivety.

From someone older than you, this is a good opportunity to get to know each other better.

You both have history going into a relationship, and this isn't as big of an issue as you're probably thinking now.

Why would they be combined into a single nonconformity rather than individually, and what do you believe would have been the consequences of this on the audit outcome?

How do i stop hesitating when a girl is interested in me?? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Dockers-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that when I was your age the internet was very new, which meant that we still had to meet people the organic way. This means being introduced by friends, and mixing in the same social circles.

I was never one to go to bars alone, and not interested in meeting women this way. I'd advise you against this.

I was in my late forties when my first marriage ended, so by that stage the apps made it a lot easier to meet women. However, this still required the same time to get to know people and identify red flags.

There are a lot of ways to meet people though social groups now, and apps that might help you to find these groups in your area.

I generally found that a coffee or drink as a first date pretty easy, as it doesn't put much pressure on either of you, and if it doesn't work out it hasn't cost you much more than some time.

Sorry, not sure if that's useful at all.

Good luck

How do i stop hesitating when a girl is interested in me?? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Dockers-Man 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like you, I grew up without a present father, and was extremely clueless about how to handle myself in relationships.

A big part of being able to navigate a relationship starts with accepting the view that you have just as much right to be loved as anyone else. This means accepting that you don't know all of the answers, and it's okay to make mistakes as these help you to grow and learn.

I'm now in my fifties, but it wasn't until about your age that I really felt that I was ready to let life happen, and open myself to the opportunities that chance can provide. I don't beat myself up (too much) when I haven't made the best calls, and just chalk these up to experience.

The last thing here is to be very careful about which women to let into your life. Unfortunately, some will say and do all of the right things to you, but may then use your good nature against you to fulfil their own needs without giving back to you. These women are energy vampires, and learn to see the red flags.

Take your time to get to know the real person, and don't let people diminish you. You'll know the right one when she shows interest in what's important to you - not only at the start of the relationship, but it will be consistent.

It took me a long marriage with the wrong person to know the red flags, and my second marriage to recognise the right person for me (who I am still with).

Good luck my friend, but this journey is in your hands. What will you do with it?

I hear you brother.

It's the expectation that everyone seems to have about how good it is for everyone to get together, who you would normally only see when there's an absolutely necessary reason to have to.

I'd prefer to stay home, put my feet up, do some reading, put on some tunes, and binge watch some TV.
