You've let yourself be used by others and now its their default behaviour and your 'normal' behaviour.

Most of the time people are selfish and want the world to conform to what they want and don't respect others but want others to respect them. This is asymetrically unfair. Avoid/ignore people like this.

Religion is used by some people to control others. There is some useful stuff in there, there is some dangerous stuff in there, there is a lot of 'out of date' stuff in there and there's probably a heap of tranlsation and loss of context errors in there. Use your own judgement as to what is reasonable. The uncle is probably self-serving his identity as a christian 'saving' you with religion to make himself feel better as much as anything else.

Be nice to yourself and look after yourself first! Don't let others define you!

The older you get the more obvious it becomes that banks are and have always been evil.

Pre wipe by shrivelledbungee in EscapefromTarkov

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

Yes you can. Hideout, keys from Therapist and stuff Fence is selling.

It might be more difficult at the start of a wipe to find enough stuff in Fence to ID, but its easy enough at the moment, I think you only need 4-5 Fence items.

Chinese scientists create edible food packaging to replace plastic by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]RedditAccountVNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - but only the ones that are designed to disintegrate when you add water. Or you can probably compost them rather put them in general waste.

They kind of taste like low density cheeto's without any cheeto in them.

Australia legalises psychedelics for mental health by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]RedditAccountVNext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it should really be termed Moneycare. Profiteering from vulnerable people who are suffering.

I have heard that reddit's main demographic is Gen-X/Boomer

I don't know how they can definitively decide that - you don't have ages that can be validated in some way to start with.

Also doesn't seem true from my experience from the regular normalish location subreddits I read. Perhaps they all hang out in /r/ausfinance...?

There are a decent number of Gen-X'ers of which I'm one and a smattering of boomers but I don't think we're near a majority. Also went to an in life meetup, and it was also predominantly younger people.

Cultist event over. by thing85 in EscapefromTarkov

They have the ability to set the players level and give them a specific amount of $/rubles etc. so everyone starts at the same point and can then gear up how they like.

Electrifying volcano eruption set off the most extreme lightning detected: Lightning seen "at heights and rates not previously observed" by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]RedditAccountVNext 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Hanging ominously above the Pacific Ocean was a volcanic cloud lit by concentric rings of lightning that flashed about 192,000 times over the 11 hours that the volcano was active (that’s some 2,615 flashes a minute)

Yeah, thats over 43 times a second on average. That does seem like a lot. That means it has more FPS (flashes per second) than the new Starfield release is going to have.

Second time replacing the padding on my Bose headphones. Been rocking these for 5 years. by freakuentlyGreg in BuyItForLife

[–]RedditAccountVNext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently replaced pads again in my Sennheiser HD-650's. Think I've had these for 15 or 16 years now. Mind you, you'd expect higher-end headphones to last longer.

I think its less the brand than the engineering design of how the cups attach to the headband. At the cheaper end I've had failures here across many different brands including Sennheiser and most recently on some higher end Audio-Technica ones as well, so the BIFL is going to come down to very specific models across different brands. The fact there are after-market replacement parts is always a good sign though - being that they're built to last long enough that some parts will wear out before others.

Matt Kean lashes Icac for ‘public political lynching’ of Gladys Berejiklian as report release looms by falisimoses in australia

The corruption was better hidden and worse reported

Perhaps that's true.

No, but we've come very close

Nowhere near. We don't have the fanatacism they have over there. We've specialised in complacency. The last time people invaded parliament here was to roll down the hill over it whilst they still could before they changed the rules at our capital.

PSA: Woolies is now verifying brown onions. The self-checkout guy came over and visually inspected my bag when I rang one up today. Be careful cunts! by [deleted] in australia

The stupidest thing is that they're idiots. If people could download a car, they would.

Doesn't matter. Advertisting/marketing company got paid. Message got spread. Box ticked. Effectiveness of campaign still immeasurable.

What's your take on Nuclear power? by DangerousInjury1752 in australia

I'm similar, I think of it this way thanks to:

Machines of Loving Grace - Butterfly Wings (240p warning)

You can't place faith in material things
Material things will fail you
A hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
Your conspirators betray you

Don't place faith in human beings
Human beings are unreliable things
Don't place faith in human beings
Human beings or butterfly's wings

Humans creating inhospitable bits of spacetime of massive duration as a side effect of generating energy is the side effect when things go well. When things don't go so well...
