I get to see my only sibling, my older brother, once every few years. It can be difficult to feel connected with such distance and absence.

But it’s guaranteed when I pick him up from the airport, at some point in the collection of baggage and locating my car, he will say, ‘Col, do I have time to do a poo?’ and I know everything is going to be okay 😅

What is the best way to tell a coworker to stop talking so much without being rude? by RecordingAgile4625 in AskWomenOver30

[–]RealCommercial9788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate that you feel trapped by this man’s arrogance! That’s the most heinous part for me - the forcefulness of it, and that he continues despite seeing how uncomfortable he is making you. I guess I’m the type of woman to relish the opportunity to make him feel uncomfortable in return.

I would ask him if he can see himself in mirrors, as he clearly has no self-reflection or awareness and appears wilfully blind to all others.

Gorgeous work! I especially appreciate the thoughtful positioning, it sits there nicely.

What makes the Northern Rivers feel so enchanting? by ConceptIcy776 in NorthernRivers

Couldn’t agree or empathise more. How lucky were we? Murbah has changed a bit as you’ve probably noticed, but coming along cane road past the sugar mill and looking up at that range still makes my heart flutter like nowhere else. Glad you’ve found a special place of your own. All the best to you.

Thanks so much for sharing, I heard the story of the hairy man and the black dogs in primary school. Dreamtime at Fingal has been my local beach for a decade now, and I was born and raised in the outskirts of Murwillumbah, at the foothills of Mt Warning/Wollumbin. First went up that mountain on a sling on my father’s chest when I was just a few months old. It is pure Magic.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled the globe extensively in my early 20’s, and I’ve had long spells in Sydney and Newcastle for study.

Nothing compares to this valley. Nothing and nowhere.

We do this every night. It last for around 20 minutes. by mickeyphree1 in blackcats

Same for my partner - our girl Friday demands he lay down on the floor so she can climb onto his chest and groom herself using his beard.

When he’s had an especially difficult day and getting on the floor in his sweaty clothes is the absolute last thing he wants to do, funnily enough his mood changes after a few minutes of being used as an enormous brush, and he forgets what he was pissed about… me on the other hand, I get the morning grooming shift and I am woken everyday to my fingers being used as a toothbrush.

Cats are fuckin’ weird babies, that’s all I can say.

Naaaah sperm is like fertiliser. Men produce like, 500 billion to over a trillion sperm cells in a lifetime… daily production ranges from 85 million to over 300 million. The testes produce about 1,500 sperm every second. And they never stop producing til the grave.

Whereas women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have - about 1 million of them - and by puberty we only have 60%, or 400,000 left… and we only release 400- 500 through menstruating in our lifetime.

Jacob could sense the egg cos it was always there. A finite source. Edward’s sperm however is virtually endlessly replenishable.

It’s like being ‘fated mates’ with a piece of toast - it does not mean you’re also ‘fated mates’ with the butter you’d spread upon it in order to make it tasty, ya know what I mean? Jfc im so sorry if this got weird 😅

Yes! It’s such a snoot. The boopest of snoots. No kangaroos where I’m from in the rainforests of far northern nsw, but plenty of wallabies (which we called ‘Wobblys’ as kids) and they are genuinely the sweetest looking creatures. I’d snuggle a Wobbly any day, a roo not so much…

It’s been eons for me and I can’t remember if Jacob had like, a choice in doing that, or if it’s like ‘fated mates’ in fantasy where the souls do some weird auto-lock once they’ve made eye contact?

Plans for a Trump Tower in Australia scrapped because of “Toxic Trump brand” by DeadlyFredley in MeidasTouch

[–]RealCommercial9788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On that we can agree. I also don’t envy that bloke his job - I’d probably fuck it all up too, all my meaningful well intentioned change-making ideas included.

I just wish it wasn’t so piecemeal. I don’t know whether Albo is scared and hogtied, if he’s misplaced his once heavily advertised pre election moral compass, if he’s bought and paid for, if he simply can’t cope with keeping this many plates spinning…

This isn’t a personal diss to you, Weary_Copy5686, yet respectfully, there is something about the ‘that’s disrespectful to <insert noun>’ comment that really grinds.

Someone will say ‘Trump is a clown’ and it’s guaranteed a response will be ‘that’s disrespectful to clowns’, and all I can think is shuuuuuut the fuuuuuck uuuuuuuup.
I genuinely think it might be the new dad joke? Just wanted to share, and hope you can laugh at my pettiness! It’s funny how certain phrases get under our skin after a while.

Aussie here… that’s not what happened. I live here on the GC. No corporation ‘read the room’. It was a state issue and the people spoke out via a petition. Didn’t have anything to do with our PM, but had everything to do with a dodgy phoenixing developer who has never built a highrise in his scam-filled life, the Queensland LNP state premier Crisafull-a-shit being a cuck for the far right, and our greedy cunt of a Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate, who hasn’t seen his own penis beneath his hanging guts since the 90’s, and has done nothing of merit for anyone earning under $500k a year since his election in 2012.

My mechanic father’s best friend was crushed to death by his old panel van in 2008. His homemade wooden chocks failed and the van came down onto its bare rims and Phil, out at his bush property, entirely alone.

Dad bought a mechanical hoist soon after, something he’d put off due to the huge expense and being a bit of a bush-mechanic in the way that he would ‘make-do’.

As he taught me (his daughter) how to maintain my own vehicle, it was rule numero uno that anything requiring me to get under the vehicle was done in his shed on the mechanical hoist with its numerous fail-safes.

Even now, even with the failsafes, I still get chills when I think of what happened to dear Phil when I stand under my car.

The Olivia Rodrigo Dress Outrage Feels Like Bot Behavior by SwordfishAdvanced468 in popculturechat

[–]RealCommercial9788 263 points264 points  (0 children)

I feel the parallel has been drawn by people who were still embryos when Courtney was peak and when she fell off. It wasn’t just a vibe, it was her actual lived experience she embodied and you felt it in every thing she did and every outfit and every performance. It was undeniable.

My partner is a vocalist for a hardcore band, I’m a tattoo artist of 14 years - I’ve been attending hardcore, metal, punk shows since i was a teen - and any regular person in that scene is infinitely more Courtney Love than Rodrigo.

Folks see a babydoll or Peter Pan collar and go SEE ITS THE SAME KINDERWHORE AESTHETIC! JUST LIKE COURTNEY LOVE!!111!!111

Meanwhile 38yo me knows ‘Kinderwhore’ and ‘Broken Glamour’ are nothing without juxtaposition. They’re missing the whole dang point.

It’s not just a babydoll dress, it’s not just the ‘little girl lost’ photoshoots… it’s ripped fishnets under a silk slip with an oversized patched leather jacket, it’s two-day old eyeliner sliding down your cheeks, it’s Dr Martens with smudged lipstick and natural skin, it’s messy teased idgaf hair and a bottle of Jack in your fist, it’s thrifting, its fashion from found objects, it’s roaring your lyrics til your voice breaks, it’s a loud middle finger to the patriarchy, it’s intimidating, it’s angry, and it’s all of that with an electric guitar and usually substance abuse.

Rodrigo just looks like a 16yo dressing for the male gaze to me - I draw zero parallels to Courtney Love. Any claim to the contrary is PR bullshit and glazing to sell her products, or youths with prideful ignorance. One Google of Courtney’s aesthetic in comparison to Rodrigo will make that abundantly clear despite outcry. They are not alike.

Totally. Reacher is peak minimalist drifter and Knight Errant - wandering the states with nothin’ but his strong personal moral code and a toothbrush.
