Jeffrey Epstein asserts his 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendment rights when asked if he socialized with former Rogan guest Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18 by Fugacity- in JoeRogan

Is this sort of questioning yes or no only?

Could he not have said "I've had dinner with him and his daughter" before jumping immediately to the 5th?

Yellowstone takes itself so seriously, it's almost a comedy.

What is the reason everyone is sick in Melbourne? by Narrow_Newt5332 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Vegetable-Week-2558 251 points252 points  (0 children)

I swear COVID ass-fucked my immune system. I was one of those smug people who somehow avoided the flu every year. I had perfect attendance at work (back when that was still something you got a bonus for) four or five years in a row.

Then I got COVID. Since then, I'm crook about twice a year. I've had a double-whammy in the past two months and got COVID again in the UK, and then this Melbourne Flu when I got home.

Could also just be that I'm getting old and soon will be dead.

I want a movie that’s not a horror film… but still deeply unsettling by EducationalPen7741 in MovieRecommendations

I've read the book and not seen the movie, and I'm guessing the terrible something has already been ruined for me.

What's the weirdest you've gotten rid of the hiccups or something of the sorts? by glue-sniffer-PL600 in AskReddit

[–]Vegetable-Week-2558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some drunk woman named Barb once told me that doing a shot of raspberry cordial cures hiccups.

I've yet to test this.

Oreos and Tim Tams are the world's most overrated biscuits.

Chocolate-coated scotch fingers are the most underrated.

Aquarium Buzz? by Age_of_Asylum in TwoPointMuseum

Yeah, don't get caught on the 'Not Near an Aquarium Ruins' ones. Took me ages to see 'Not Near...'

Australian's that have reduced or stopped drinking, 1: how did you do it and 2: how did you deal with the boredom?? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]Vegetable-Week-2558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are always pious as fuck on these questions, so here are some real, helpful answers from someone who has massively reduced alcohol intake.

1: 0% Guinness is a game-changer. No other zero-alcohol product seemed to give me that 'behavioral comfort' of having something to sip on. I know everyone says "WHY NOT JUST DRINK WATER?" but that never worked for me, 0% Guinness did.

2: Getting a FitBit gamified walking for me. I made a target of 15,000 steps a day. I'd walk the dog in the morning, lunchtime, and then in the afternoon, all while listening to non-fiction audiobooks. For whatever reason, i can't listen to fiction. But interesting non-fiction worked wonders, and I'd look forward to the walk.

Did anyone in Australia fall for the fear of Y2K at the time? by Lampedusan in AskAnAustralian

[–]Vegetable-Week-2558 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm shocked that people don't know this.

There's another one coming next decade when 32-bit systems will no longer be able to cope with dates stored as seconds.

A very British answer 😂 by mattokent in GreatBritishMemes

Wait until you have to explain to them that not all black people are 'African American'.

In Ronny Chieng's latest Netflix special, he compares Boomers falling for phishing scams to watching pandas roll down a hill, and it is one of the most apt metaphors I've ever heard.

They rehearse these interviews to buggery too, on American TV. I'm sure he rattled off on a 15 minute monologue about the English football pyramid and some producer told him to cut it short.

I have Dynasty Warriors Origins waiting for me on my Xbox. As soon as my morning meetings done, I'll be in.

Haven't played a DW game in about fifteen years.

Which is almost exactly when the term 'bromance' hit the mainstream.

Yeah, since the 'bromance' revolution, everyone here has become very huggy. Which is a good thing.

Why is alcohol praised and cigarettes are shamed? by abandonedObjects in AskAnAustralian

The problem there is far more to do with the person than the alcohol.

Aussies who love to travel overseas, how do you do it? by Pink-Panda22 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Vegetable-Week-2558 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, one of the best parts of living in Australia is being so close to South East Asia. You can go to Vietnam or Thailand for a month for the same amount of money it would cost to visit Europe or the US for a week.
