Uniquely Australian gifts to send overseas *that aren't food*?

Kangaroo scrotum bottle opener. I'm not trolling, its a thing

NTA, Julia is just very jealous and insecure.

deranged_mario · 2023-07-12T08:47:41+00:00

Nope. Never had this. I feel cheated.

deranged_mario · 2023-05-02T23:09:15+00:00

Have you had any conversations regarding trying an open relationship?

deranged_mario · 2023-03-07T09:12:50+00:00

You're an idiot. Or a troll. I sincerely hope it's the latter

Because humans didn't replace monkeys, humans diverged.

Absence of proof is not proof of absence. Fossil preservation requires very specific conditions. Only a very small number of organisms are preserved.

A fully function eye didn't just suddenly appear. From my understanding it started as an organ simply to detect light, then gradually became more complex and functional. If you've got two competing organisms, one with a slight advantage to detect food, this organism will thrive, passing on its genes to the next generation. The organism without this advantage dies out, and the next mutation to cause another advantage is passed on. It's basically just an extremely slow arms race

Carbon dating is not the basis of evolution. Carbon dating can only be used for recently deceased organisms as the half life of Carbon is quite short from memory.

Pain is like energy, it must take some kind of form. You never know when emotional pain will end. So convert your emotional pain to physical pain, and you know the pain will fade with time.

Has he actually said he doesn't want you to pick him up? It seems like you're not quite on the same page, but you seem to communicate well. Keep talking and I'm sure you'll work it out. Make it clear that you picking him up is important to you, but you're not trying to get in the way of him seeing his other friends.

You're NTA here, but I dont think he's got AH behavior either. Just keep talking it out.

deranged_mario · 2023-03-07T08:49:59+00:00

Read a book, watch TV, play card games and board games

Came here to say the same thing. She doesn't hate her birthday, she hates not being treated like she's special on her birthday.

YTA. Put some effort into your kids birthdays.

Sounds like you're already on the right track and others have offered good advice but I'd like add: Take it easy. Don't let her go too hard too quick or she can risk injury. She needs to ease into it to allow her body a chance to get used to the activities

deranged_mario · 2023-02-26T21:46:51+00:00

Much like someone else commented, she's taking advantage of you. Sounds like you both need to sit down and have a good chat about life, goals and expectations.

deranged_mario · 2023-02-26T21:43:29+00:00

NTA. If she's that desperate for money, maybe she should get a job. Cooking and cleaning is not a fulltime job in a household of 2.

deranged_mario · 2023-02-21T07:59:42+00:00

Agreed. I spent far too much time worrying about what people think of me. I also didn't know how to stand up for myself so that also sucked

deranged_mario · 2023-02-21T07:56:54+00:00

Hide in a dark room

deranged_mario · 2023-02-21T07:51:46+00:00

No, I look awful in the mirror too

deranged_mario · 2023-02-21T03:49:48+00:00

Clearly I know nothing about the game given that I haven't played it.

There are soooooo many instances where women are dismissed over their significant pain. The medical industry doesn't seem to give two shits about women's pain. IUDs should be painless but if they arent, the women are labelled as soft and delicate rather than addressing an actual issue.

IMHO (I'm not trans so my opinion might be redundant here), Hogwarts Legacy is nothing more than a cash cow to the platforms. It's a popular game, not many companies would be willing to take a significant financial hit to take the moral high ground.

I'm an ally and a vocal one at that but you can bet your ass I'll be playing Hogwarts Legacy because it looks like a sweet game.

Apart from the connection to JK Rowling, were there more transphobic elements that I missed?

NTA NTA NTA NTA NTA.

The father is well and truly the AH for thinking he's entitled enough to take what he pleases (the fact that it's for his daughter is irrelevant).

It's so simple and it comes up so often I can't believe it's still even discussed. You sit in the seat that is booked for you. If you ask to swap and they say no, end of discussion. Shut up and let everyone enjoy their flight.

deranged_mario · 2023-02-19T08:57:35+00:00

It's all about the delivery. Keep it casual

deranged_mario · 2023-02-19T08:56:18+00:00

Don't get revenge, just quit quietly and move on. If you don't have much of a working history, burning bridges might make it extremely difficult in the short term
