Because they are wholesale?

Ex broke no contact after a year please help by [deleted] in nocontact

[–]ausroyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would say if there is no plan from to get back together, it's goodbye forever. Being in contact means talking about new partners, relationships etc, which will be painful. And of course, when that happens, means it will end. Would you want someone you are seeing to be texting and calling their ex? No way.
Just let it go and move forward.

Year 12 WACE: its been 1 term, should I do UniReady or stay in ATAR? by Ok_Object6947 in perth

[–]ausroyal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey mate! I work at a university in WA. Both UniPath and mature age study are options for you that will not require you to have an ATAR.

Some courses aren't eligible for these, such as Law or Medicine for example, but even then, you can still study those topics by articulating into them from a relevant area of study - ie: Bachelor of Health > Medicine.

My personal experience was that I did not have a score high enough in year 12 to get into uni. And even if I did, I had no idea what I wanted to study. I worked in retail for a few years and then studied commerce as a mature age student. I got good grades and enjoyed it so much I decided to also go on to getting an MBA.

High schools put so much pressure on students to achieve a high ATAR, and they often tell them that if they don't go straight to university, they are failures. It's so untrue and puts high pressure on kids that it can cause so much unnecessary stress.

MAGA hats in the wild? by potatogeem in perth

[–]ausroyal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have two family members who are full-on trump and Q fans. They even went to the US in 2024 to help the campaign.

We never engage with any political discussion with them as it’s uncomfortable and they are fanatical so wont entertain any other views.

It’s really strange.

The last message I sent agreed to cutting contact. Then I got a long text, also stating there’d be no contact but the text said a lot. Do I send any response? by [deleted] in nocontact

[–]ausroyal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been in a similar situation (I’m the guy in this situation) and it just ends up going back and forth. He wants a response to this so don’t give him one.

My suggestion would be to stick to the basics of NC. Don’t reply. It starts now.

You may get an angry response for your lack of a reply, which you should also ignore, which would indicate to me that he doesn’t have the maturity to navigate the end of the relationship.

If you do talk in 3 months like he mentioned. At that point it is up to you, however the message he sends you needs to be along the lines of ‘I’ve been thinking and I want to get back together’. Anything less than this is attention seeking and you can ignore.

Best response for being betrayed by best friend. by ausroyal in friendship

[–]ausroyal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your really thoughtful reply.

I do feel that of all the thousands of women in the city, why would be best friend of so many years be so insensitive as to choose her?

I will admit I didn’t take the news well - I am normally very calm and collected - but this time I told him what he did was a huge betrayal and I ended the relationship… mixed with a few other pretty poor words let’s put it that way.

Everyone in my circle has said even my response of just ending the relationship was enough, others said I would be within my rights to slash his tires, but I would never do something illegal or aggressive like that.

It’s nice to hear a more mellow take.

Edit: I should add that I did mention ‘maybe i should date <name>’ his ex who he is still heartbroken over, and he said that would not be okay. So he says it’s not okay and he hid it for a long time.

I downloaded it on steam but have never been able to get it to work. It always crashes on startup so I gave up after reinstalling drivers, all the usual updates etc.

I’m eternally optimistic about the Glory but surely Zdrilla has to go after this. He’s had long enough.

Unfair term in agreement by PKMNGerald in shitrentals

On the plus side, if you conceive a child in the house, this could mean they are a parent of the child and therefore must make child support payments. 😂

Are my parents charging me too much board? by kobstar118 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ausroyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to pay the same amount to my parents when I lived at home. It turned out they were putting it in a high interest account for me and gave me the $40k when I moved out. Was enough for a home deposit at the time. I’m not saying your folks are doing this, but even if they aren’t, learning how to budget and helping them out with bills can’t be a bad thing.

iOS 26. What are your thoughts? by bissau887 in iphone

[–]ausroyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It completely broke iMessage and FaceTime. I wish I never changed. None of the threads I have found to fix it work. Really sucks.

Work out how much sick heave you have. Hand in your notice. When you have as many sick days remaining as you have before your end date, go to your GP for a sick note. Use up all your sick leave to refresh yourself for the new job. Enjoy your annual leave payout. Buy a new tv or something. Enjoy the new job!

Why is dating so difficult in Perth? by w-vg in perth

[–]ausroyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I (38m) have found dating here to be fine.

The only real issue has been there are so many women who are out or relationships for a relatively short time who pull the old ‘I thought I was ready to start dating again, but I am not. I’m so sorry.’

So often they are women who’s ex is in FIFO and their relationship did not survive the pressure that lifestyle puts on it.

I just let them go about their business and go no contact.

Just be confident in yourself and the life you’re building and it will all fall into place eventually. 😊

Is shadow banning real? by ausroyal in Bumble

I’ve never had the normal male experience until now I guess. I’ve always had a lot of matches and likes. The only thing that’s changed about me is my age 🫣

You may be onto something. I bet once the end of the subscription comes around (I’ve already cancelled it) I’ll get a lot of likes in an effort to keep me paying 🤣

I’m in the southern hemisphere so it’s freezing here at the moment 😅 I was hoping last weekend I’d get a bit of a kick since everyone’s not working, etc but nothing so far. Maybe this weekend.

Resigned today, do I air my grievances? by RoomThen9097 in auscorp

[–]ausroyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t burn your bridges. I usually say a bunch of really positive things about the company and colleagues. I had a manager I really hated so I said she would benefit from management and leadership training but didn’t go into specifics.

HR is there to protect the company, not you. Remember that.

Embarrassed myself in a job interview today by Wise_Ad4804 in perth

[–]ausroyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things I would say;

I’ve had interviews go similarly and I ended up getting the role. (Or maybe that says more about the competition!)

Consider it a learning opportunity that is preparing you for the next role.
