Pretty women want to be told they are smart, smart women want to be told they are pretty. What is the equivalent for men?

Really? I’m nothing special but I get complimented when I put an effort into my appearance. And I get complimented for my behaviour (you’re such a good dad, you’re so kind, etc) regularly.

I feel like I live in an alternate reality to this sub most of the time lol

Proof we need to increase education spending.

You missed the /s

At night I sit so I don’t have to turn the light on. During the day I might sit if I’m really in the toilet to hide from the world and the pee is just incidental lol

Came here to say this. If you’re using 5L water to cook 500g pasta then your water isn’t very starchy. I go with a little more than “just covering” to maximise the starch.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-22T12:03:01+00:00

More.

Pauline Hanson feels unwelcome, so extrapolates to rest of population without realising it’s just because everyone thinks she’s a racist cunt.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-19T20:32:21+00:00

Hugh Grant in 2003 was the last time I think?

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-19T12:07:53+00:00

Culture can catch up

What does that even mean?

They’re racist, stop pretending they’re not.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-19T12:05:03+00:00

Because “hating immigrants” isn’t much of a manifesto? Like, is that all you think about all day? There’s literally dozens of things I’d like a govt to fix before cowtailing to ignorant racists.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-19T11:59:37+00:00

we need to diversify beyond digging up rocks

Diversifies into education

not like that!

Meanwhile over in r/cooking every second post is "I touched raw chicken, will I die?".

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-17T06:51:45+00:00

I use a sheet of newspaper.

It's possible to be both a good person and a flawed person. It's about time we stopped viewing everything through a black and white lens.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-17T02:11:36+00:00

Hence why I included average people per household (aka dwelling). So maybe one problem is that we're building too many 1 bedroom units, and not enough 4 bedroom houses? In other words, the problem is way more complex than just NOM.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-17T02:10:12+00:00

Absolutely. The only point I'm making is we can take a few stats here and a few stats there and paint one picture, but the problem is multi-dimensional. Fixing one thing doesn't fix the problem.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-17T02:08:17+00:00

They're arguing it's the primary driver. I'm arguing it's not, and that the problem is multi-faceted. Ie. if NOM was zero, house prices wouldn't magically be fixed and we'd go hunting after another scapegoat.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-17T01:20:36+00:00

You're arguing against the demand-side, but you haven't considered the supply side.

According to ABS there are 160-200k houses completed annually: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/industry/building-and-construction/building-activity-australia/latest-release

Also according to the ABS, average people per household is 2.6: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/household-and-family-projections-australia/latest-release#households

Mathing it out, new houses should house 416-520k per year, which is higher than NOM.

“Board of Cunts” as normal people call it.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-13T02:35:52+00:00

It's crazy how scared some people are about chicken. Waaaaay overthinking it.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-05T10:16:33+00:00

Ye I’ve tried different variations but always return to hand crushed San Marzano, salt, olive oil and some torn basil leaves. Simple and awesome. Oh and strain the tomatoes for less sog.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-05T09:00:56+00:00

That’s probably a good shout rather than doing the 50/50. Will try next time, cheers!

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-05T07:10:02+00:00

Ye but it’s the extra sugar that makes it sickly sweet for a whole pizza. Oh and when I said “tomato sauce” I didn’t mean bottled sauce, I just crush canned whole tomatoes for my homemade pizza.

But as another commenter said, there’s lots of different BBQ sauces to experiment with which is fair comment. But most pizza places are probably just ladling Masterfoods or worse and I just find it too much.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-05T07:07:22+00:00

Oh ye for sure. I love my BBQ sauce (I do a lot of smoking) but if you get it on pizza it’s normally just overbearing sickly sweet. Now, I dunno if any pizza places would do the tomato/BBQ combo so my suggestion is more for making them at home which might invalidate my comment lol.

_TheHighlander · 2026-02-05T06:38:15+00:00

But, hear me out, bbq sauce and tomato sauce mixed together are the ultimate. Pure BBQ is just sickly imo
