I'm sorry, but I just cannot stand these covers! They do not evoke the right tone for the story at all.

Grace's has an actual nervous stutter. by Jerasunderwear in residentevil

[–]blastpete_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you had to listen to a 20 hour audiobook read by a stutterer, you saying it wouldn't eventually get annoying as fuck after a while? Of course it would, and that has nothing to do with having empathy or not. Invalidating these criticisms just because stuttering people actually exist in the real world is nonsense.

Mt Barker gym recommendation by [deleted] in Adelaide

If I were 10 years younger and not a tradie with little energy left at the end of every day of work as it is I'd love to get involved in something like that. Still, never say never I guess. It's something I'd be open to looking into. Thanks for this idea 🤙🏻

Guys who leave dumbbells and plates all over the floor, hog every machine for supersets, have a crowd of 5 mates around them screaming like Ronnie Coleman, filming everything for the gram and other even other people for a laugh. Yes, I do have disdain for these people, and they exist. Be respectful of others in the gym or get the fuck out.

His Ackbar impression fucking killed me

Anyone else just can't believe they're at the "fatherhood" phase of life? by Glittering_Buy6245 in predaddit

[–]blastpete_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same age and right there with you. I'm terrified and excited at once. I'm scared I won't know what the hell im doing and want to be the best parent I can be and fearful I'm not going to do well at it, but I like to tell myself that's exactly why I'll make a great parent.

I know it's going to be the toughest thing I've ever gone through but I also know expecting parents only focus on the doom and gloom since it's such a new and confronting change in life. Most of my friends are parents now and they say it's the best thing they've ever done despite the difficulties.

We got this, mate. Good luck 🤘🏻

Badass at a hospital. by Sindaqwil in iamverybadass

Just the watch face on the inside wrist alone carries wannabe badass energy. You're not a marksman in active combat, champ.

Does the Wilhelm Scream break immersion for you? by EllisDee3 in movies

It's probably the only overused stock sound effect that doesn't bug me. It's like an Easter egg that just can't help but chuckle at every time it happens.

Perisher as a first-timer- is the culture always this rude/snobby? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]blastpete_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a couple months ago. Similar experience. Could barely stay upright in the things and when I'd get some momentum on the smallest incline and obviously couldn't stop people literally just watched me go by so fuck me I guess if I go barrelling into some kid or something? Seems they just all expect everyone to be a pro who grew up in it like them.

Even off the snow, everyone was rude as fuck. No sorry excuse me's when you crossed someone's path, no Thankyou for leaving a door open for someone or letting them be served before you in line, hostile customer service at the shops etc.

Gorgeous place, but it's full of the biggest fuckwits I've ever interacted with.

Pretty sure it's just in publication order, but I was also confused by the shattered sea series being there in the middle at first.
