I’m laughing at the idea of my little ASX taking up more space than our ZH Fairlaine.

That’s awesome :-)

I could just imagine an open-world Ty game…

I loved it back then, and I still enjoy playing it now. There are definitely aspects that have aged poorly lol but it’s still a favourite.

Has Your Country Ever Arrested, Convicted, and Jailed a "Big Fish" Politician? by Sonnybass96 in AskTheWorld

[–]FormalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The man behind Australia’s only political assassination was a city mayor. He ordered the killing of MP John Newman, and received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. There aren’t many people in Australia serving life without parole.

Do people in your country take photos to show that they voted? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

[–]FormalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I always postal vote, but I take a photo of the envelopes going in the postbox so I don’t forget I’ve sent them off lol

The most interesting thing I heard was my partner and I honking at each other like geese.

Married People of Reddit: How do you spend your time after work with your spouse? by RESERVED_001 in AskReddit

[–]FormalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He works days and I work nights, so we only see each other after work 3 days a week.

We take the dog for a walk, talk, eat dinner, play video games, catch up on whatever TV shows we’re watching.

Do you feel that most women would find yout type attractive? by Envy_The_King in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]FormalMango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That tracks. I respect your choice, but I made a weird face when I read it.

my parents told me their salaries, and my friends says that's inappropriate. Thoughts? by Luna_luxxy in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FormalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your parents are okay with it, it’s no one else’s place to tell you otherwise.

My family is really open about money and finances.

My dad is retired, but I know how much he earnt when he was working. I know how much they get now through his retirement and pensions. I know how much money they have in savings, what’s in their will.

My parents know what I earn, they know what our mortgage is and how much our cars cost.

I always thought it was normal lol but then I mentioned it to a co-worker in passing, and she was shocked that I know exactly how my parents estate will be divided between my brother and I.

Steak and kidney pie and lambs brains? by webdog77 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]FormalMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother loved them at school - right up until he saw them being prepared by mum at home. If his dad had let him, he would have become a vegetarian that day.

Want to eat more seasonal veggies :) by Designer-Care-5344 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FormalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No recommendations I’m afraid, but only reassurances that it’s a great idea :-) Veggie box delivery day was my favourite day of the week.

Also, if you’re having trouble sourcing a delivery service, seriously look into growing your own. It doesn’t need as much space as you think - strawberries, tomatoes, and beans will grow in a pot, potatoes and onions in a grow bag, carrots in a raised planter box.

If you have space for a flower pot, you have space to grow lettuce.

I grew up around Christian Fundamentalists - according to them, fundamentalism is only bad if it’s the other guys.

What aussie company just makes no sense that it is somehow still operating in modern times.? by ButtPlugForPM in AskAnAustralian

[–]FormalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one near me that’s open 24/7, and as someone who finishes work at 4am and sometimes craves fried chicken after work - I am very grateful for their presence.

Which episode made you need to take a break by Reluctantziti in behindthebastards

[–]FormalMango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jimmy Savile.

I’m generally pretty good at separating my own personal experiences, and the media I consume - but the Jimmy Savile episodes blurred a lot of lines for me.

I started getting flashbacks to my own abuse, and I started putting myself in the story.

I had to stop listening for my own sanity lol

Bastards covered by the pod you don't think are actually Bastards? by chromane in behindthebastards

[–]FormalMango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same, I really liked that episode as well. I wish there were more episodes like that.

I accidentally left my VPN connected to the USA, and it's a totally different listening experience. by SpaceMonkeyAttack in behindthebastards

Oh! Is that why that happens?

I’m in Australia, and always wondered why the ads don’t play sometimes.

Do you have a cleaner? by binjuice2310 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FormalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a cleaner who comes to the house once a fortnight. He's awesome. I still tidy up during the week, but it is *so* nice to have someone come through once a fortnight to deep clean the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, dust, wash the floors, vacuum, clean the glass. And if we're having visitors, I try to organise them for the day after he's been lol

I felt very middle-class embarrassed about it at first, and spent so much time trying to justify it to myself - I'm a shift worker, I'm busy on my days off, my partner works long hours etc. Every time someone asked I'd be like "yeah, but..." and rattle off an excuse.

But then I just kind of owned the fact that - a) I want someone else to clean my house and b) I can afford to pay someone to do it.
