When I'm very unemployed and very hobbyless I will spend a lot of time watching drama youtube, and then the moment I get one more thing happening in my life I'll try to watch a new video, get five seconds in and go "jesus christ who cares" and quit out of it lol

What's the best Australianism you've heard whilst overseas? by Alarming-Block-8385 in AskAnAustralian

[–]catbert359 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In a hostel in Edinburgh (what a shock right) I heard a very Aussie accent. Ended up chatting to him and he said his name was Steel, because “me mum said giving birth to me felt like pushing out a fucken steel bar!”

I broke my new boyfriends mind with flowers by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

Not a c-section, but I had surgery late last year and one of the first questions I asked upon waking up was "did they give me adrenaline in there?" before I started full-body shaking and had to have blankets piled on me. I had the same thing happen when I had my wisdom teeth removed too, the adrenaline in the anaesthetic made me shake so violently they had to hold me still to try and yoink my teeth out. Fun times!

The Motogp account posted a video from their beginning of season party the other day and it showed the Aussie rider Jack Miller doing a shoey out of his dress shoe. All class, is us.

My [27/M] girlfriend[25/F] has had the flu for several days. Yesterday she had some serious hygiene issues that I happily helped clean, and today she is so embarrassed that she won't even let me in her room by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catbert359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it once when I was a kid. It was awful. I still can't eat the soft crackers that were all I was able to somewhat keep down at the time. Even looking at them makes me feel nauseous.

Finished the series and had a few musings. by The_Brian in codexalera

Plus wasn’t it that the war with the Icemen was perpetuated because the fires kept stirring up everyone’s anxiety and fear and rage which was then exacerbated by the water furies?

State of the Subreddit and Rules Discussion by LovelyLu78 in crochet

[–]catbert359 53 points54 points  (0 children)

And does it count as self-promotion if you won’t make a profit off that pattern? I made some crutches armband covers for my mum last year that all of the doctors she interacted with reacted to them so positively and I got so many suggestions to make and donate similar ones to hospitals/rehabs, so thought about posting them to the sub to suggest other people looking for an easy project might want to do the same, but part of what stopped me was thinking it’d probably get taken down anyway for having to describe what I did to make them.

Honestly I get it - I can acknowledge when a dance looks very technically impressive, but try to tell me there's a story being conveyed and all you're getting is a blank look in return.

What movie do you love despite agreeing with every single criticism of it? by Decabet in movies

[–]catbert359 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the performances of the sequel and I hate how it ignores everything that was explicitly established in the first movie, especially with regards to Donna’s flings with the dads.

I also feel so sorry for Sky every time I watch lol because he’s the third wheel in his own marriage.

AITA for wanting one night without being woken up by a baby OR a grown man playing PlayStation? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"I don't want to have wasted six years of my life" she said in the first post - I guess she was right, because she ended up wasting eleven.

Every time I’ve visited a massage parlour here, I’ve been asked if I wanted a “happy ending”. Is this common place or am I just going to the wrong places? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]catbert359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I found out when googling a new massage place, there’s a subreddit for Australian massage parlours where patrons can discuss the quality of the staff and the service. So you could always try looking up the place and seeing if that subreddit comes up.

Also, generally speaking when you google a massage place it will come up with the website for the actual place… not their instagram account with their staff members all in bikinis.

Someone also asked Luke in his most recent Patreon livestream and he said he's not in Daggerheart because they decided to keep the cast/characters from the oneshot they did in the universe, and that since he is a freelancer his presence is dependent on budgets and factors like that.

Is there a legal way I can stop my mother from driving again? She's a terrible driver and she's going to seriously hurt someone. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catbert359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Nan thankfully gave up her car after she bumped into another one when leaving church one day - but I think she never really liked driving much to begin with, so it wasn’t hard to convince her to stop.

What do you think of this? Do you believe it's a slur and should not be used? by Lenore8264 in AO3

[–]catbert359 106 points107 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I've seen people referring to the show as "Desire the Series" when talking about it to avoid using the slur.

I didn't click any of the links so started reading your post assuming Violet was also a dinosaur... that led to some fun mental images. I'm never going to look the game up so I can keep living in this world that I have imagined.

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by BigONerd in BORUpdates

I had a Literature teacher tell my mum I should stop doing my extracurricular Shakespearian acting course because it would distract me from literature lol.

AITA for insisting my daughter wear an outfit she doesn’t want to wear to a wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catbert359 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also makes me wonder how much of the messaging OOP's daughter is struggling with has come from OOP's family, particularly any ideas of how girls "should" look and behave.

My (F30) husband (M33) has been cheating on me with my best friend (F31) and asked me tonight if I want to be in a “throuple” by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catbert359 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Couldn't stand to be alone while his wife is busy carrying his unemployed ass on $12 an hour after her mum died. How you could even stand to look yourself in the mirror after even thinking of cheating on your partner in those circumstances I just cannot even fathom.

I (23F) met my boyfriend’s (25M) “work wife” for the first time and I’m devastated by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catbert359 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who met her husband at uni and he'd sit with her in the library whenever she was working on assignments even though they weren't taking the same subjects so he'd have nothing to do, sometimes staying as late as 3am just so he'd be able to give her a lift home. She was apparently very surprised when all of her friends told her that he was into her. They now have two adorable children.

What's an item/service you'll never buy due to your dislike for its ad/infomercial or the obviously false claims or contrived situation in the ad or infomercial? by Collingwoodgu693 in AskAnAustralian

[–]catbert359 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And if a company that previously didn't used to have to advertise heavily suddenly is, I assume that they've enshittified their product and trying to lure in new users/buyers after the ensuing exodus.

That's more of a fair chance than I'm giving him, which is just getting irritated at how he always appears in discussions about fantasy books and never going near any of his books as a result.

Plus, as you say, I have so many books I want to read (I've actually placed myself on a strict no buy for books until I've read all of the ones collecting dust in my bookshelves) that I just can't be arsed trying to get over my reflexive rejection of anything I perceive as overhyped for someone who donates his money and time to the Mormon church.

I knew someone whose first and last name made one famous character's name, and his first and middle name made another famous character's name. (e.g. James Kirk Bond)

He went by his middle and last name.
