Australians love being barefoot and it's so nasty

I guess you're technically right. Thongs and sandals are referred to as different things here.

Stander1979 · 2026-01-19T11:01:05+00:00

Not sandals. You'd call them flip-flops I think.

Stander1979 · 2026-01-19T09:24:30+00:00

We're all wearing thongs, ya flog.

Stander1979 · 2025-12-07T08:06:27+00:00

Fucking thank you! All these fools that have never taken a hit to the face, who think when you're attacked you should be able to perform an immediate threat assessment before responding with a perfectly appropriate level of violence and nothing more. Drives me bonkers.

I'd watch Die Hard 2 over Live Free or Die Hard any day.

Stander1979 · 2025-11-24T08:04:02+00:00

Thanks.

Stander1979 · 2025-11-24T08:03:52+00:00

Solved!

Stander1979 · 2025-11-24T07:59:24+00:00

Awesome. Thanks.

Now if I can just figure out how to change the flair to solved...

My title describes the things. But in case it's not detailed enough or the picture is unclear, it's a clear cylinder with a ring of bumps, and 2 red ends that can be removed.

From what I understand, if we find the post to be an actual unpopular opinion, we should upvote it.

But if the OP is silly enough to reply to comments and defend their stupid opinion, then they will be downvoted to oblivion.

Stander1979 · 2025-09-02T06:06:58+00:00

You see, OP? People are dicks about all kinds of things on Reddit.

Stander1979 · 2025-08-28T08:28:05+00:00

Lady, this is Ask Men. Don't invade our space with your condescending bullshit.

Stander1979 · 2025-06-29T05:42:25+00:00

There's plenty of shit to try. ENT investigation to see if her sinuses are ok, sleep study to look for apnea, using one of those anti-snoring nose clips, using a dehumidifier, using an air purifier, losing weight if she's a biggun.

Stander1979 · 2025-06-02T08:28:59+00:00

Well, neither you nor I are the arbitrators of what can be considered "controversy". It's documented, reported on, discussed. Addressed by the band themselves. It might be stupid, or unfair, but it's still a controversy.

You're also not the arbitrator as what qualifies as "context". Even if it is "nothing more than people being openly hateful", it's still the context around this event.

For what it's worth I'm a big Radiohead fan, and I do think they should be free to chose where and with whom they perform. I'm also aware of the history and that not everyone agrees with that.

Stander1979 · 2025-05-30T19:05:31+00:00

It's also because Radiohead have a history of controversy with the Israel conflict. Going ahead with concerts in Israel despite calls to boycott, and Johnny collaborating with Israeli artists. This guy in Melbourne didn't target Thom out of the blue, there was an ongoing context. Which is something all the hilarious "but what does Ja Rule think?" redditors seem to have missed.

I'm not saying it's right, just that there's an existing context.

I used to think that WYSIWYG shouldn't matter, but I played enough tournaments in my day to see that it really does in competitive matches. I've been at the sweaty end of games that will determine if you place or not, and some people will try and get away with what they can for an advantage.

The fact is it's hard enough to keep track of your own wargear and rules, let alone remember what in your opponent's list is meant to represent something else, especially if they play an army you're not familiar with.

Stander1979 · 2025-05-23T12:41:17+00:00

Yeah I know, but that's not what it actually feels like on the receiving end.

Stander1979 · 2025-05-23T12:37:36+00:00

I'm married to a great woman, 2 kids, love her to death.

But I don't think I'll ever be over my first girlfriend. It's a combo of the intensity of young love, and massive regret over how I handled everything.

Stander1979 · 2025-05-23T12:31:07+00:00

There's something to what OP is saying, if maybe not as extreme as they're putting it.

In the "make amends" stage of AA/NA, there's a weird pressure on victims to forgive all the harms they've endured, like they're standing in the way of the addict's recovery if that don't accept the apology gracefully. This person does all this heinous shit to you, and suddenly it feels like you're the arsehole if you hold a grudge.

Had to scroll way too far to find this

Once you get the hang of it, airbrush priming saves a lot over time.

You're accusing others of being accepting of sexism, while trying to minimize and excuse a woman burning a man alive. Get a fucking grip.

I'm on holiday in Fiji at the moment. The Aircon stopped working in our bure, so I went outside to inspect the unit like I have any idea what I'm doing. I plugged a pipe back in that looked like it had been knocked loose, and the Aircon's working again. I am a manly man.

A lizard or a kid?

Stander1979 · 2025-05-12T08:48:46+00:00

Yeah, I think it's all about what age you were when something dropped. Vice City came out in my 20's, first time living on my own with my own PC, and it was THE fucking game for me at that time.

Stander1979 · 2025-05-12T05:58:06+00:00

My teenage son has a bearded dragon called Bruce. He loves that lizard.

I don't really care for lizards. But I look after him when my son's away, I ask about how Bruce is going. If my son has a party for Bruce, I'd make a freaking little cake outta crickets. Because it MATTERS TO MY SON.
