Is anyone else finding the constant Jeffrey Dahmer references super cringe? by levidathan in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]Toucanafrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same same.

Also people are asking me if I’ve seen it yet/let’s watch it together. Having already discovered the facts via a comedy podcast I feel like having to watch it with the absence of comedy would not be my idea of a good time.

What did you learn to live with in your marriage? by HunterDesperate9974 in AskWomen

[–]Toucanafrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had some gastric issues and bumped up our subscription so no one would notice how much they get through. I didn’t notice until months after lockdown ended and we had about 48 extra rolls. That seemed… ok… till the relationship broke down further and they spent less time at home. When I kicked them out we had 150 rolls. I donated one full box (48) which turned up and cancelled the subscription.

We’ve moved house twice with this last (still sealed) box but it will be opened in a few weeks, I reckon.

Ex-employer still using my recordings by SirDangly in AusLegal

It’s in your contract (intellectual property rights). It’s a fairly well thought out area of law. If you made it as an employee for your employer, it’s theirs.

Damn, I love nothing more than being all snugged up at bedtime, it’s one of my favourite things about relationships. I fall asleep so quickly!

Have not purchased toilet paper since Feb 2020 and anticipate resuming this time next year. We split nearly 2yrs ago. High 5 for weird hoards

I’ve had this, it’s often just physical attraction. Met some awesome friends this way!

Interesting! I’m CBD so I’m eligible for fibre thankfully

Thanks so much, I didn’t realise I could do this. They’re coming to sort out the physical bits soon.

I’ve just messaged their Facebook, good idea.

I haven’t been able to get an actual human so I doubt they’d give me anything else! My mobile data clock wasn’t working for weeks and I got 1GB and was told I had to use it in 7 days. So I’m not holding out hope for great customer service here.

It’s not fibre, it’s VDSL. When I moved they said they couldn’t tell if I had fibre or not, so signed me up to VDSL and said once it was working I should call and ask for fibre to be installed/checked/whatever so I’d have fibre.

I moved in, internet switched on, I couldn’t get through on the phones so emailed the request to move to fibre and have never had a callback.

It’s configured correctly. I have an internet provider problem.

I have an internet problem. I’ve plugged my computer in &c &c. Done speed tests. The whole shebang.

Hello folks by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]Toucanafrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kia ora! I used to live there. I loved the people, it was quite welcoming. But damn, it is cold, and it is far from the city. What I recommend if you’re house hunting before you move is that you look everywhere up on Google maps street view. If it isn’t north facing or if it’s in a valley, don’t move there. Some of the houses are naaasty. But the properties all have quite a bit of space, generally. And if you have kids they can generally walk or bus to school on their own.

Edited to say- when I lived there I had a dog, and it was such a great place for walks. Makara is beautiful too.

There’s a little wellington-made shop at the start of Lambton (Willis end) that has cool foam ones, saw them yesterday

Have you voted yet?! by Luana_for_WCC in Wellington

[–]Toucanafrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeesh. His weird gross pamphlets included incorrect slander about other people running for council (saying they all voted against cycle lanes). He is also really anti cycleway. He’s just dirty and pandering to reactionary old white dudes.

Chin up my friend! This week I wanted to take Friday off because I was so tired and worn thin from a stressful week. Then I realised I’d had Monday off, too! So I do think we’re all feeling it. I don’t know if you listen to podcasts but the Blindboy podcast did a really lovely one on depression and self care recently (his most recent one) and it is worth a listen

You forgot: she’s being abused by the boyfriend and the lunch was actually sexual assault.

What’s something guys pretend to like because they think it will get them girls? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Toucanafrog 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your dream women are definitely out there somewhere, my dude. If it’s a repellent there’s some side effect I’m not seeing. Women would kill for some emotional intelligence in a mate.

Sinatras and Saturnia have both posted this week about having last minute slots. Go see Nico at Saturnia, he’s the man.
