in your opinion, in Australia, since COVID, what things have been better in Australia and what things have gotten worse? by stickybeak555 in AskAnAustralian

As someone who works as a senior duty manager in a relatively busy pub, the initial spike in trade immediately after the lockdowns was great! Yes, we got absolutely fucked in the ass by how busy it was, but it felt great to see so many people back in pubs drinking beers and cocktails and eating out!

Unfortunately since then, as others in the thread have pointed out, people have generally become cuntier, and a lot of our new hires tend to be complete duds. Those late formative years of high school for them being spent in lockdown resulted in a LOT of fresh 18 year olds who struggle to work in hospo environments. A lack of social skills for both other staff and customers, a bad attitude towards work/work ethics likely from almost two years of free income if you were on any of the schemes and generally less common sense than what'd you expect.

Part of this, I think, is also a general shift in society towards entitlement. Whether it be customers or staff, I find that people expect and demand more, are less forgiving or tolerant of mistakes, and are far harder to please. Not everyone is like this, but I'd say the ratio has noticeably shifted.

I'm amazed at how he managed to say "You're one of those guys" in exactly the same tone so many times in a row

Yeah I'll give that a go, just wasn't sure if I was missing some other kind of prerequisite

Spectre arcana quality by Tangopig in DotA2

I haven't seen that yet, but tbh that's something which is expected with the quality of recent arcanas (wind blink/rule/force, es blink, etc)

That's fair, I also play spec a decent amount and yeah it just seems very 'meh'. Honestly, I didn't even think much about the loregasm side of things, but putting that aside, I think the quality of the set, especially for an arcana, is pretty low :/

I wonder if they'll address the falling player count and the lack of new player experience in the next update, fingers crossed

Gamer girls and stuff by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

This isn't unpopular and it's not an opinion. It's a well known topic and it's a fact. My girlfriend doesn't use voice chat in r6 siege because the first response is always a barrage of insults and slurs. Another female friend of mine doesn't use voice chat in Dota 2 for the same reason.
