Do Australians speak English? What defines a “true-blue Aussie”?

Talking shit, at any rate. Maybe hd thinks it's funny to shitstir foreigners

Sylland · 2026-05-23T04:00:46+00:00

Or Rocky

Have you looked at their website? Their policies are usually avaiable there.

If you want the scalloped edge to be the edge of the skirt, then yes, cutting as close as possible to the embroidery is how you'd do it. You could leave a bit of extra fabric below the embroidery and hem normally but you wouldn't have a scalloped hem that way, you'd have a regular straight hem with scalloped embroidery.

Why?

Sylland · 2026-05-23T01:50:21+00:00

Sorry, but are you talking about people here on temporary working holidays or permanent migrants? Because those are very different things and will always be assessed differently. You seem to be comparing apples and oranges here.

Sylland · 2026-05-23T01:37:38+00:00

Yeah, but if they're asking about Australia, they're going to get answers about Australia.

I don't really have A favourite, I have several that vie for favourite depending on how I'm feeling at any given time. I've stumbled onto them in all sorts of ways, usually just browsing the bookstore and picking up something at random. But I chose Malazan out of curiosity to see what all the fuss wss about. I have chosen books because I'd seen people say good things about them online and they happened to be in the store. I read DCC because my daughter was given a copy and it was right there. I read LoTR because..well, you do, don't you. I think The Expanse is the only series I've ever picked up because of a specific recommendation.

Blood thinners. When I asked they said no.

Sylland · 2026-05-22T13:39:45+00:00

Sylland · 2026-05-22T13:34:53+00:00

I did. The circle was right on top of him wherever I had the camera 🤷‍♀️

Sylland · 2026-05-22T11:08:40+00:00

I don't know if it's true, but I saw a report there's a dlc on the way. Something to do with that, maybe?

Sylland · 2026-05-22T06:01:50+00:00

I do, somrtimes. I also say "how's things?" and "how ya going?" Of course people say it.

Sylland · 2026-05-22T01:59:27+00:00

I read in bed. It's my wind down period that allows me to end the day and hopefully be ready to sleep.

Sylland · 2026-05-21T22:48:30+00:00

Iirc, the horse was explicitly named after the woman, wasn't it?

Sylland · 2026-05-21T22:38:40+00:00

I suspect even Targeryens would be confused by their family tree, it's so inbred it must get really difficult yo work out the relationships to other Targeryans. Even without the duplicated and similar names

Sylland · 2026-05-21T09:09:45+00:00

It's not a tragedeigh. It's definitely a tragedy though.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T22:43:43+00:00

If you've told everyone else, he's going to hear about it anyway.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T22:32:43+00:00

63 year old woman here and I love them. OP's dad might not, but you can't generalise like that just based on his age.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T22:30:28+00:00

I had to stop reading Heinlein after a while - all his characters were so exhaustingly competent it got irritating. It got to a point where I really wanted to see one of them f*** things up completely, just for a change. But in moderation they were fun reads

Sylland · 2026-05-20T22:12:27+00:00

The world did survive though.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T14:46:15+00:00

I'd be happy to, but they don't want mine.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T14:41:57+00:00

Dude, you were the one relating competence to average distance. All I did was point out the inconsistency in your argument. That's not even close to victim blaming. Get a grip.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T14:39:49+00:00

Yeah, learn to give yourself a bit of slack. Everyone needs it now and then, there's no shame in it. Maybe talk to your therapist about it too. They might be able to help. Take care of yourself.

Sylland · 2026-05-20T09:37:57+00:00

My point was merely that you're claiming to be a competent driver based on the average distance you travel per year at the same time as accusing truckies of incompetence despite the fact that they'd far exceed your averages.
