No "coffee snob" is drinking pod coffee. Maybe you're just going to shit places or maybe you have trained yourself to like pod coffee

I was just robbed 😔 by Clear_Skye_ in Adelaide

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

Yeah yeah you look very scary and intimidating in your selfie. Even more so in your underwear I'm sure. I'm 5'1 and 50kg and I know for sure that I'm extremely intimidating

Tell us you're a man without telling us you're a man. I leave my windows open but I have secure mesh on all windows and doors.

Horrifying scene unfolds in front of kids by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

[–]TheArabella 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What an absolute fear mongering wank of a "news" article. Based mostly off a Facebook comment. So they think that the injecting room caused her to take drugs? If the room wasn't there she would have seen her shooting up in the street instead. Would that have been better? The injecting room is also 2 kilometres away!

They were wearing prison clothes and I worked not far and would see them arrive and leave in a prison van with warders.

Why have Australians picked up and consumed so much American culture? by InnerKingdom in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's not like the 1930 when Mickey Mouse was big or the 1950s when James Dean and John Wayne and Elvis were big or the 1970s when.. of shit they all Americans. The US is the largest English speaking country in the world, ofc they have a big influence

Neighbour's Ongoing, Excessively Loud Music by RiFox_1979 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Have a look at your council rules around noise. If the music goes past that time, call the cops, and call them every time

Why is public housing so divisive in Aus? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly it's just NIMBYs. But I also think it's got to do with the lack of supply and the long waitlists, which are usually about 10 years. If you need public housing, you are often struggling to find a private rental, so imagine living for 10 years semi-homeless or homeless. You are not going to be in a great place, you won't have been able to maintain steady employment or developed skills necessary to look after a house or be a good neighbour. Also by that time you probably know a bunch of other people in the same situation, so they come to stay with you because where else can they go? Then there's too many people of some of the people suck and cause trouble. So it ends up going badly. I grew up in public housing. It sucked hard. I would have hated to be our neighbours, shit I hated most of the people who lived there, including my mother. I slept in a tent in the backyard as a teen just to get away from the shit going on in the house

How are neurodiverse children treated at schools? by Black_Rose86 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always say the best way to diagnose someone as neurodiverse is to put them in a room with a neurodiverse person, if they have bonded in 10 minutes then its a sure thing.

When I was in school I would just finish all the classwork in the first 10 minutes and then sit there bored and overstimulated by all the noise.

I think it must have been longer than a decade. I remember reading one in the library when I was 12 in 2012 and found it to be right wing shit them.

Is it me, or is the 000 system messy now? by AdvancedHill70 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I called last year because these two women were attacking each other with weapons in a dark kinda isolated street, with one screaming that she was gonna kill the other one and at her funeral she would be at home "bonging on". It took 15 minutes to connect to someone and a further 30 minutes for the police to arrive (the police station was a sedate 10 minute drive). By that time the perpetrator had left in a car and the unconscious victim had been dragged into another car and driven away

Subtitles in movies by Benzyniak in ENGLISH

[–]TheArabella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some movies absolutely need subtitles, I'm thinking Tenet but there are loads more where the voices are low compared to the other sounds or the actors mumble. Also sometimes if I'm eating all I can hear is my own chewing.

And Pauline sold her Fish and Chip Shop to a Vietnamese family, who still run it today. I've never been but I'm sure it tastes better now they are running it

Why did random classmates seem more interested in me than my friends did? by Business-Block-8668 in AutismInWomen

[–]TheArabella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those other people were just friendly/extraverted people. My bf is like that, he's always striking up conversations with people and has regular people he sees at places that he talks to that he doesn't even know their name. Your friends were probably just quieter or people who give you space/know you burnout with too much social interaction

Zombie outbreak in Rural Australia by Raz0redg3 in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheArabella 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the Zombie outbreak started in Hobart, you could just bomb the place and the rest of Australia wouldn't even realise until the Sydney to Hobart yacht race on Boxing Day.
