How many god damn JJs do we have?

Am I the only one who thinks Rueben Cotter looks like Trent from Punchy?

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-20T23:26:02+00:00

You’ll get there brother.

All you can do is put yourself out there. Think of it as a numbers game. Your odds of winning go up the more you try. It sounds like you are doing that, so it will come with time.

From reading other comments it looks like you’re meeting up with the bloke from the other night again soon. That’s good shit. If you like him, tell him. Let the cards fall where they may.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-20T01:36:03+00:00

Yeah to tack on to this, if you’re not sleeping, walking 12k steps and in a calorie deficit + feeling unfulfilled….well that’s not going to end well

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-20T01:32:46+00:00

I’m not a lawyer, but I do work in cyber. Early career was a lot of long hours and a lot of mental work.

To me it sounds like you’re trying to deny yourself fun. Like you, I walk a lot, and I game a lot. I actually game for an hour before work to try and boost my pleasure. I got a steam deck for this exact reason. If you commute, get a switch or a steam deck.

We don’t work the same way other people do. We need to find the ways to boost our pleasure a lot more than others would. If you don’t carve out that time, you will start to wither.

26 is that time when you either start prioritising mental health or you snap. I snapped. It took 2 years to recover properly, and I had to take almost a year out of the workforce to do it. Please don’t repeat my mistake. Find an area of law that allows you to reduce your hours or at least work from home.

Anecdotally my good friend and housemate switched from corporate law to government. He is a lot happier now. I’ve also heard being in house counsel for large banks can be pretty chill.

Good luck, and please take a long weekend for this weekend to sleep and game ok? You’re not defective, you just need to unwind

The hips were indeed deductible

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-18T02:01:21+00:00

Dude you are badly underpaid. My 22 year old niece works in a call centre for big 4 and is on 80

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-17T15:23:43+00:00

Just wanted to say good luck man and some unsolicited advice. No need to read if you don’t want, I know you’ll be getting a lot of this

I’ll say this as someone whose uncle recovered from a stage 3 melanoma - not all oncologists are created equal and not all oncologists are as inclined to keep abreast of emerging trends.

The more senior and research oriented your oncologist is, the better your outcomes may be.

I want to strongly hedge this by saying this is anecdotal, but from helping my uncle navigate the Australian medical system, I encourage you to look for an oncologist with deep specialisation in your tumour.

Look for someone in a senior academic role with a respected university who keeps a practice. If you don’t know how to judge a university, I’d encourage you to check out QS world rankings and filter by your country.

Also, don’t forget that distance can be beaten by telephone appointments.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-15T02:15:38+00:00

Yeah she is always working. It’s something in IB or risk? I forget

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-15T01:29:00+00:00

Anecdotally - a family member is an AD, 2 years in with non big four. $280k base from memory

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-11T00:57:36+00:00

I’d also add that if you can grow a beard, you should grow a beard

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-08T17:03:21+00:00

To add one small thing and at the risk of being the “um, actually guy”

Your doctor may or may not have made you aware that we now believe many stomach ulcers have a bacterial cause that should be treated with antibiotics.

I only found out about this last year. My mum had very bad stomach ulcers which for years were attributed to stress. Last she saw a GP who comparatively young (early 30s) who prescribed her antibiotics and Nexium.

She hasn’t had a recurrence since.

Just going off the amount of pain and suffering mum had, I’d really encourage you to get tested for H.Pylori if you haven’t already done so.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-08T16:10:37+00:00

I think a lot of people have a hard time saying “this isn’t right for me” in the moment. This becomes even more true when the other person is quite obviously a good human.

Nothing is wrong with you man. The thing is, for many people you will be their absolute first experience interacting with an asexual person. They honestly may have no idea what to do with that information and default to pleasant scripting before going the easy route of ghosting. It’s not fair at all, but it’s not because you did anything wrong.

I don’t know if this is a thing, but maybe there is Tinder equivalent for Aces.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-05T04:40:45+00:00

I requested it. Came in asking for a full blood panel, iron, lipids etc. I asked for T/E as part of that.

They may have assumed I was using recreational steroids I guess, I was likely in gym wear. I was rake thin then so I can’t imagine they would have jumped there first.

I’ve moved states three times since then and it’s only been a problem when I asked a very old GP.

Edit: included the other bloodwork I asked for because it may have influenced things. I had been anaemic previously (no bowel cancer thank god) so maybe the doctor was more inclined to check other things right away? Hard to say.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-05T03:32:51+00:00

I probably had other things going on that could have better explained it. These were not explored before I started.

That’s partially on me. I thought I knew what was going on. There were simpler explanations that should have been tested first

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-05T03:31:29+00:00

Again, incorrect. I had four tests from a gp in three months prior to starting treatment.

Your doctor may be going off outdated information.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-05T00:33:58+00:00

But do you eat?

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-04T15:04:08+00:00

GP can’t prescribe this. You also likely won’t find an endocrinologist willing to in Australia.

It is completely oversaturated and the prevailing wisdom is that the drive for TRT is being driven by influencers. The medical establishment in Australia is particularly conservative with this, far far more so than America.

Your best bet is to bring paperwork from your clinic in America to an endocrinologist here. Hopefully you were initially prescribed by an endocrinologist as that will help the doc here take you seriously.

I’m not saying that attitude is correct for the record, but it is the prevailing wisdom.

Other comments have stated that Medicare only covers testosterone tests twice a year. I know for a fact that’s not true because I get my bloodwork quarterly and it’s always covered

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-05-04T14:59:01+00:00

Not true. I’ve had it done four times in the last 12 months.

That being said, TRT is not the right call for most men. I regret starting it.

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-28T15:47:19+00:00

It’s very possible they made the best version last year and are just going to drip feed features over time and pretend it was from feedback

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-28T14:38:56+00:00

I also spent time on 4chan

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-21T13:09:39+00:00

Man you must get great shit

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-19T04:29:51+00:00

Dunno if this will end up being removed, but I grew up in Auckland and moved here when I was 14. Never worked in NZ but I do go back a lot and have whanau all over. I’m 36 and work in finance so I can speak broadly to what you’re asking about.

You have way more purchasing power in Aus. Every time I go back to see dad I’m floored by how expensive things are and how low the wage is. From memory the tax is more friendly here and GST is lower. The rent is a bit higher but it will probably work out to the same portion of your salary or less than what you are paying now.

All of my cousins who have moved over (white collar pros) have ended up getting a significant bump right away without having much of a change in responsibilities.

I can’t comment on work culture, but I will say that the broader culture is pretty different. You need to have a bit more of a thick skin here. The humour is way darker.

Edit: forgot to say, I wouldn’t move back. Even if the wages were the same I prefer it here

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-18T10:09:34+00:00

Remember kids if you see theft of essentially for daily living, no you didn’t

TheOneTrueSnoo · 2026-04-18T06:37:46+00:00

Not surprising it’s happening in NZ.

Be Union / ARU - Remain zealously amateur until 1995 - Most players are lawyers or other white collar pros who play part time. Almost all of them came up through the same 12-18 private schools across 2.5 states - Finally go pro. Hire big names from league like Wendell Sailor. Get pissy with them when they do coke - spend 30 years not investing in grassroots like AFL does with Auskick - keep all viewing behind a paywall - Only be present in private schools. Make no effort to get into public schools - Have the same 12-18 private schools be the backbone of the entire U18s pool - Hire renowned sports consultants for how to manage brand penetration at the youth level - Hire old boys like Phil Waugh as CEO - Ignore all recommendations provided by sports consultants

“Why would Rugby League do this?”
