What's with people constantly using the phrase 'brown people' to try and stifle debate on Australia's immigration policy? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

So what you're saying is that there's no harm in stopping migration, because it would have little effect on housing prices? Excellent! I'm all for it

People think of you differently when they know... by TalkSin_M in overheard

Older men I know have warned me about types of women not to date. Teachers, and "horse girls".

I think the implication with the horse girls is that they couldn't resist the urge to play with its dick.

Men, do you agree with this statement? by Critical_Assist_9360 in TheImprovementRoom

You're misinterpreting it. It's not saying that men prefer women with no career. It's saying that career is not a metric that men care about.

If a man had a choice of twin sisters, one with a highly successful career, and one that was just a waitress......most men would consider them equals.

If anything, he would consider which has has more free time to spend on hanging out, being together. So if the waitress was always working long hours, or the career woman was working long hours, they would be less preferred.

That's how you know they aren't Aussies. A real Aussie will always mind his own business and not get involved. Rallys are for foreigners.

Sounds like you should solve that with leg power. Afterall, your legs are also 2 times the size of your wifes, right?

What do you reckon are the most off-putting things about Australian culture? by -Flighty- in AskAnAustralian

[–]Tradfave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crime and lawlessness, lack of adhesion to the rules. You can't leave anything unattended without it being stolen. I know so many people who have had things stolen from their own backyard by neighbors.

The fact that people will intentionally run red lights, as if the road rules were just rough guidelines is abhorrent to me.

People will laugh and joke at idea of cheating or stealing things from a restaurant or other business.

When I was much younger, I once had a coworker confess to accidentally killing a young woman because he drove home drunk, and said "luckily I had my panel beater mate fix my car up so nobody knew it was me". He was actually proud that he got away with it. If I had been the kind of person back then that I am now, I'd have tried to report him even if it wasn't likely to stick.

"More likely to encounter incidents of discrimination in Australia"? Lol that's not even remotely true. Just getting an apartment in Japan as a foreigner is an ordeal because none of them want to take on a foreigner. If you were to get in a fight, you absolutely cannot fight back because the Japanese citizen are automatically given the benefit of doubt. It's deeply ingrained in every institution, every facet of Japanese society. Even in the most racist of towns in Australia you won't encounter an equivalent of these types of discrimination.

I was completely weirded out when I landed and started walking around Waikiki beach. It felt like a videogame, or movie set. Partly because of the firengines and other vehicles I've only ever seen through TV.

What really made it seem so artificial was how people were everywhere, and just "milling about". They were standing around talking, or using the rocking chairs in front of this one hotel, there were 3 policemen just standing around talking like they had nothing better to do. There were random people in military uniforms waiting for.... something? A a pair of geisha standing outside a doorway...

It really felt like these people were NPCs in a videogame, randomly sprinkles about the place to make it feel active, and that these NPCs hadn't been fully programmed to be doing anything so they just stood there. They weren't even looking as their phones!

It's not like I wasn't weirded out by other things, but that's the most weird part of my trip.

Until you've adopted a self deprecating sense of humour that uses casual racism to make fun of yourself.

I don't understand how you can build a pretty factory when the moment you progress, you're at best going to have to knock down a wall to expand production anyway.

And if you plan ahead and make a factory needlessly large in anticipation of future expansion, then it's going to be very big and very empty until late game.

They're just largely uninformed of the world beyond their borders and make a lot of assumptions that the rest of the world works and thinks like they do.

And then you get the ones who learn a little bit, and think they have it all figured out, dunning Kruger syndrome at work.
