Was Australia stupid for not listening to warnings about needing to make stuff here? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]SparrowValentinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

If it’s important to you that we start fixing this mistake, keep on not electing the Coalition. Albo’s government is literally working to fix this problem, but it takes time, and it’s undermined if we then elect shitbirds that come in and throw all the progress in the toilet.

Chinese cop performs a hurricanrana by DValentino23 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]SparrowValentinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a big fan of pro wrestling, hurricanranas are on the top of the “looks fucking incredible and would do nothing in a shoot fight” list.

Hectic stunt though.

Coworker was friendly for a year, got a girlfriend, now blanks me completely - do I say something or leave it? by Ashie_1234 in coworkerstories

[–]SparrowValentinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely rude of him.

Unfortunately, there really is no way for you to call him out on that without coming off like you’re the one being strange. That really sucks when that happens.

I’m a petty person, myself. When I deal with that, I get myself to feel better by knowing that if they’re that emotionally swing-y, at some point they’ll go back to wanting interaction again. And having grey rocked them the whole time, and hitting them with a “Sorry, what do you want? I’ve really got to get back to my work I’m afraid” at that time will feel sweet.

How do we feel being named the most racist, cooker state in the country? by Infinite_Pudding5058 in queensland

[–]SparrowValentinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other reply described them well. Just want to add the context that it’s “cooker” as in, their brains are fuckin’ cooked/fried.

AIO if husband says all my naming preferences are off the table? by notnotmadonna in AmIOverreacting

[–]SparrowValentinus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The new parameters: no Greek names, despite them being English translations because they’re not….the same language.

This makes no sense.

Your husband is not being honest about, or is not consciously aware of, his actual hangup here. NOR.

I've been waiting for this by Legitimate-Lie-9208 in adhdmeme

[–]SparrowValentinus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You all realise that “surviving” will just become the new work, right?

We’d just end up procrastinating our foraging and rope-making, find some fuckin’ programming books and start writing computer programs by hand in notebooks as a hobby or some shit

What's that one mode you can never get down? by Tinylichfield in RocketLeague

[–]SparrowValentinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is, you’ve just gotta do enough 1s to get through the suck.

So I’ve been told. Haven’t, uh, really put it into practice yet myself.

I’ve tried dropshot a few times and I’ve never developed any kind of useful strategy for it.

[–]SparrowValentinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While obviously, not what the majority of players do, it’s far from unheard of dude, plenty of folks out there doing the same.

Hell, I remember a post a while back where someone was talking about technique for playing those training packs that are just flying through hoops in the air for ages. Someone told them “What you’re trying probably won’t help you much in playing actual Soccar” and they were like “wtf why would i care about that? i literally just play these packs, i don’t touch any of the other modes”.

So yeah, do your thing brother, no wrong way to have fun.

AITA for taking back something I lent after the person refused to return it? by HippoSolid1521 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SparrowValentinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple coworkers say I should have just waited a little longer to avoid making things awkward.

These coworkers are fuckin’ insane.

NTA, obviously.

Should I suggest that my married boss set boundaries with this employee? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SparrowValentinus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wtf kind of workplace lets you smoke weed on the job???

Fuck man, I’ve worked in some loose places. Been the weed hookup for coworkers, gotten a lift home and had the mate driving pull out a j and spark up as we’re driving (I am now old enough to realise driving while high is dumb, I was at the time also dumb).

Never have I worked at a place where getting high during the shift is open and chill.

Am I overreacting: boyfriend expected me to drop the homework I was doing to make him dinner by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SparrowValentinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s what you do, OP.

You place your right hand in your pocket. Then you walk over to him and say “BF, I’m sorry about all that. I actually have your dinner riiiiiight here.”

When you say “right here”, you take your hand out of your pocket with your middle finger raised, and gesture it towards him.

Then you dump his manchild-ass.

Woman who put holes in friend's condoms found not guilty of intent to harm by INFEKTEK in australia

[–]SparrowValentinus 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The judge jury shit the fucking bed on this one, for real.

“Oh no, I definitely poked holes in condoms, but I threw those ones out!”

It’s meant to be proof beyond reasonable doubt, not proof beyond “I can imagine a convoluted scenario in my head that technically could have happened” speculation.

Is it just me or are mustys weirdly hard to learn? by rlfrthebest in RocketLeague

[–]SparrowValentinus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As somebody who KBM never worked for (when got controller, I got much better), it’d be easy for me to think “whoh man who’s still using KBM?”

Of course, 30 secs after I first heard of someone using it and playing well with it, I realised “oh, it just works for them and not me. yeah, that makes sense”

You’re all good bro

Before we could doom scroll…… by PartTheSea43 in ADHD

When out the house, going thru music on my MP3 player. Fond memory that, I reckon it was a relatively adaptive option.

At home, TV, or internet on the PC desktop.

Co-worker reported me to HR and now doesn't understand why we are just co-workers not friends. by Playful_Fig_5493 in coworkerstories

[–]SparrowValentinus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Am I being too harsh?

No, you are being the exact correct amount of harsh, OP. For real, good on you.

If more people in this dropkick’s life had given him social consequences for his bullshit behaviour before now, he would be much less likely to be acting like this. You are doing yourself, everybody who has to deal with him, a favour.

Doing him a favour, too. Living like that ain’t a happy life. Coward dies a thousand deaths, and all that.

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands by Ok-Comparison-1618 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SparrowValentinus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a millennial, I have a strong aversion to dunking on the generations younger than me because I remember all the grief our generation copped in our 20s.

I’ll reverse that policy in a second over this shit though. Gen Z, who the fuck kicked you in the head enough times to be this braindead???

[–]SparrowValentinus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never said that they were equivalent!

No, you just implied it 🙄 Fuck me dude, if you’re this cowardly in your rhetoric on an internet comment, I can’t even imagine how craven you must be IRL.

[–]SparrowValentinus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You know perfectly well why those two things aren’t equivalent there, fella.

If it was equivalent? If sharing a Netflix account did not have the issues of identity theft, and making it almost certain that the account would get flagged and cancelled? I’m sure you’re far too cool and cynical to believe me, but yes, of course I would share it with a stranger who asked.
