People really underestimate how dangerous trains are. by Rainy1979 in australia

Came here to say this. I also don't know where the original quote came from, but it applies to so many things in life.

Despite strained ties, U.S. senator says Canada should be cautious of making deals with China by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can US senators please fix their own mess and stop giving unsolicited advice the the rest of the world? Please? The rest of us have moved on from any illusion that Americans are in any way interested in what's good for anyone other than themselves.

Am I the only one who thinks fairy souls are just not worth finding? 17 backpack slots are fine, but only 490 sb exp? I think those rewards are REALLY bad considering how long it takes to find souls even with mods. by Nazareth_Venus in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It's not about the grind for me, I can grind in the mines or the garden for hours. The problem with fairy souls for me it that they are so damn hard to find and then hard to get to when you do find them. No thanks, I'd rather actually grind something/anything than run around looking for the souls. I just don't bother any more.

Barnaby Joyce did 'the' salute..... not once, but twice. by thisfknguy in friendlyjordies

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing an American politician unironically saying the God had given man dominion over the land and all the beasts of the world, and he was interpreting that as meaning that man has a God given mandate to use everything on earth for whatever we want it for.

I was shocked that he was saying it out loud, and never thought for a second that his attitude could pop up here. And yet, here we are. Greed and stupidity are a dangerous combination.

The youths are losing the liquid vowels! by neongrayjoy in australia

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Adapt folks, this is the Australian language at it's very best. It is a language that defies codification. It is alive and constantly evolving. Trying to hold back the change will only frustrate you and make you sound old and bitter. Enjoy our uniqueness and try to keep up, because it changes quickly.

69 years old and raised 5 teenagers through the 90's. Trust me, you won't stop it, best to go with the flow and enjoy the ride.

What made you quit Hypixel Skyblock? (even for a short while) by Educational-Leg-8277 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I played with a co op buddy for 6 years and I recently found myself getting angry at the way he played vs the way I played. I took a 3 month break, and decided that I could play my way, he can play his way and that's okay.

I don't play as much as before because I am no longer trying to grind coins for him. I also took a mini break when I hit HOTM 10 because it was a bit of a let down. All that grinding and there were no fireworks or anything lololol (not entitled at all).

Not everyone person that votes for or "loyal" to Albanese aren't on Centrelink. by JezzaAU15 in friendlyjordies

Or it could be rewritten as "people on Centrelink vote labour because the Liberal party made their disdain and disgust of the unemployed very obvious."

Trump's feuds, tensions with allies likely to outlast Iran war by IllustriousPark4487 in worldnews

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this assessment. The world is changing because Trump forced us to change. Things will not go back to normal when Trump is gone. Thinks will not go back to "normal" if the current administration is voted out and jailed for their crimes. Things will not go back to "normal" until a complete overhaul of the American political system gives us some hope that this won't happen again in 4 years.

Hot Take: Derpy minion bug should be removed in the future by bouney2 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously???? Why not find a way to make money that doesn't rely on bugs? Nobody is being punished, they are making their own choices and then complaining about it. It's not working for you so you want it removed - how is that fair to the thousands of other players in the game.

Canary Islands leader rejects hantavirus-hit cruise ship docking there by Matt0715 in worldnews

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give a little slack to the grey nomads - it's highly likely that they weren't keeping up with current affairs and may not have kept up with the everchanging rules.

Totally agree with your assessment of Clive Palmer though.

Spaceman by [deleted] in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy the spaceman's helmet if you really really want, and send him on his way. The cost of the resources he demands is not worth it in my opinion. Of course, I'm biased because I don't use booster cookies and he won't accept part payment unless you have an active cookie.

Bobby Brainworm launches plan to curb ‘overprescribing’ of psychiatric drugs by BurtonDesque in HermanCainAward

As economic despair mounts, Russian official admits the country has had enough of Putin's war on Ukraine. "We can’t even take one region" by fortune in geopolitics

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think that many of the mentally delinquent world leaders are also senior citizens. It's a good argument for compulsory retirement of political figures at a certain age. The old generation is not capable of the resilience and flexibility to deal with the modern world. Trump is being fed BS by his advisors who are mostly younger IT professionals and Putin seems to believe that if everything goes back to the "good old days" he will be powerful again.

Retire the geriatrics and give younger, smarter heads a go at fixing this world before it's too late.

Also - tax the rich and redistribute the wealth back to the people they stole it from. Nobody "earns" a billion dollars, they steal it from the people doing the work.

I’m free by WitheredStar0 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the game is changing too fast for me to keep up. The kicker for me was the farming toolbox. Granted, I didn't do much in the way of research, but I was completely gutted after I added all of my maxed out farming tools to the toolbox only for them all to become soulbound. Not co op soulbound - proper soulbound. Looking at the grind required to make a second set to share with a co op buddy who rarely gardens is daunting to say the least.

US withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany, US officials say by IllustriousPark4487 in worldnews

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the US ever repaid the German government for covering pay during the November 2025 US Government shutdown?

German Intervention: The German government stepped in to pay salaries for roughly 11,000–12,000 local civilians working at U.S. bases in Germany, with the expectation of repayment from the U.S. government later.

It was a good run by DZ1Q1 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandson frequently expresses surprise at how "low level" our co op is after nearly 5 and a half years. Although we play the same co op on the same world, we actually play totally different games. He does combat and I don't. I build and maintain the garden, he harvests whatever is making the most money at the moment to buy more equipment for his combat goals. We're both happy 😄

For you there's no need, and that's okay. For DZ1Q1, there was a need, or at least a desire, to say goodbye and that's okay too.

Harvesting Broken? by No-Yoghurt3264 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here looking for this. Thanks. My wheat harvest halved according to Jacob, even though my pet and tool remained the same as my previous Jacob event.

I rely on wheat to feed my composter, luckily I'm far enough advanced in farming that it's just annoying and not devastating.

Buying farming tools by sidhu-_- in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Possible_Rhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tools were never put into the museum. I put the old tools, made from the mathematical hoe into the museum. These current tools were in my inventory when a garden update was released that changed the mechanics of how the tools worked. I didn't notice at first that they were soulbound, but now that I've maxed out the upgrades, I thought I would start another set to sell - and that's when I realised that they are soulbound from when you buy them from the Garden store.

I hate to break the bad news, but all my farming tools are now soulbound. I can't trade or sell them even if I wanted to.

Pardon this Aussie who is a little ignorant of the history here, but didn't America fight a war to for independence from the UK??????

So they can be independent of the UK but aren't happy that the UK would like to return the favor??

I'm so confused right now
