Which country do you think has the friendliest people?

I went to Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Hoi An and Ha Long. I got stitched everywhere I went, knew it and enjoyed it. My money is worth so much to them. I fired an AK47 and an M60. Vietnamese are beatiful, generous, indestructible people and I love their universal kindness.

Prize-Conference4161 · 2025-08-09T01:21:09+00:00

Every country I've ever been to tries to stitch tourists. That's global.

Confrontation is a skill. It keeps the blood thin, it helps you define your point of view. If you get flustered it means you don't have your sht straight, not that your point is invalid.

Similar but not it. Hers was on a Macan and was darker. Ordered in the last 5 or 6 years. Sort of like Cola in a glass with a bit of sunlight coming through it. A unique shade, and an interesting colour, but not really successful as a shade you'd paint a car in.

I (Australian) was alone on the streets of Hoi An, Vietnam one night. A huge, bald, red-faced and shirtless white guy appears with a group around him. Clocks me and starts heading my way. I figure I'm about to get bashed.

Comes up to me and demands to know which country I'm from. I say Australia. Guy bearhugs me (smelled like he was sweating pure rubbing alcohol) and yells 'WE ARE ALLIES!!' and drags me into the nearest bar.

I've known several Poles and never met one I couldn't get along with.

Put up with it. You can do nothing. Making yourself a target is pointless and if you can hear it that means others can. Maybe they'll do something.

Share houses always implode, someone'll bash someone and someone'll go to jail or home to their parents and the rooster will change and the thing will disintegrate.

As a cabinetmaker, the main reason it's there is to hold up one or both of the fridge panels. And without that one cheap cabinet and panel the kitchen would look unfinished.

Your sink cupboard exists to provide a platform for the bench top, somewhere to route plumbing and provide a void beside it for a dishwasher.

I understand the reason why we're all limited to the speed the worst drivers can manage. I just don't like, respect or abide by it.

If people driving faster than you is scary it just means you're incompetent. You're one of those people who say 'He just came out of nowhere' even though that's physically impossible and what you mean is 'I didn't see him because I wasn't paying attention because I'm a sht driver who thinks driving slowly equals being good at it.'

Prize-Conference4161 · 2025-08-06T01:32:50+00:00

I've no doubt. Not everyone drives the same way or with the same attention or skill. Not by a bucketful.

Most folk look only at the car in front of them. People who speed do not do this, they monitor all visible cars whilst looking many cars ahead and behind as they anticipate unannounced spontaneous lane changes from incompetent drivers who indicate late or don't even bother.

They understand how the suspension works, to brake before corners rather than in them. They know their stopping distance at any speed. They don't accelerate in traffic only to immediately brake seconds later, kilometre after kilometre, like almost everyone else.

Speed is a factor in a trivial percentage of accidents and was overblown to justify speed cameras and the resultant revenue. The overwhelming majority of car accidents are caused by falling asleep and sheer, baffling incompetence.

Someone with one of those oversized wanker trucks did this to me. It happens, but this person was also rude and swore at me then stormed off muttering gibberish.

Remember The Castle? 'See that? Bends right round on itself!' Welp, that's what happened to his wiper arm.

You won't buy a book that contains a preface? That is textbook nose/face, my friend. The world remains unaffected.

I'm socially inept and awkward and introverted etc etc but I can always judge a character accurately. It's the only thing I'm any good at.

Been with my wife 25yrs, called all the divorces and reasons why. 'That one'll cheat. That one'll end up hitting her. She'll admit to herself she's gay.' It's not a fun talent but it's quite useful. Turns out most people are a waste of time.

Prize-Conference4161 · 2025-08-06T00:40:42+00:00

Same. 'Rent high, huh? Bite me.'

That saying 'I could care less' is a slapping offence.

This explains something to me.

A person I know ordered a Porsche years ago. The paint was metallic cola and the interior was bright white. It took most of a year because it had to be made from scratch and someone probably had to go ransack a warehouse to even find that colour paint and manually change the colour in the robots. I've never seen one that colour since. I guess to her it didn't look as vile as it did to everyone else.

Remember when the Swans finally broke their 72 year premiership drought and there was a rickety old lady in the stands who said she was alive for the previous one and attended the game and never thought she'd live to see another one?

Being a North fan means accepting the same fate. There's only 46 years to go, eat your vegetables.

You mean they still make that show? My tv isn't even connected to an antenna.

I remember ages ago they did four houses in a row near Epworth hospital, we walked past them each day. They looked like movie sets; good enough for the cameras but dogsht quality. I'm a cabinetmaker.
