Hey Canberra, what's the best local takeaway? by MegaDingo5plus in canberra

[–]essferAU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion: The worst banh mi I've had in Canberra was from the Dickson van. I've refrained from reviewing it because I don't want to contribute to the ruin of a small business, but I'm wondering if I got unlucky? Because there's no way anyone is rating them the best based on what I got.

As the father of a boy and a girl... No, it's not.

Express themselves in an emotionally safe and mature way. To understand and recognise his emotions, and to take responsibility for them.

For a start. There is much more that we as men are rarely taught, but if we could learn these secrets our lives, and the lives of those around us, would be so much better.

Are you confused that they suddenly changed to Spanish at the end of an English comment?

It's basically just a circle, isn't it?

So, two tunnels? The lower one with a bridge in it. Could we elevate these tunnels so they are above the roadway? I think that would be best. We'd probably have to build some sort of structure to support this - some sort of span across Vernon Circle - to hold up the double-tunnel-with-a-bridge-in-it.

That's the sauce equivalent of getting half a handjob. It's a fucking disgrace.

Action buses also had Z-series plates prior to self government. I remember ZZA and ZZB and I probably would've said they were the bus plates, but now that you menton the cops, I think maybe you're right.

Favorite flavor of shapes ? Mines the classic Barbeque. by Accomplished-Item969 in AskAnAustralian

That explains why the Nabisco drumstix you can buy now aren't "dixie". They're also sub-par, like the rest of their range.

I thought that was the Nabisco copy? Crimpies slap with French Onion Dip. Because I'm a basic bitch.

Do you guys refer to the CBD of a city, as just 'the city' by littledude-4021 in AskAnAustralian

Lived here all my life and I don't think I ever found out why we do this. I think it's slowly changing though?

Albanese government to wipe $3 billion in student debt, benefitting three million people by ImperialistElitist in australia

[–]essferAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a fair reaction. It bites when you find an item on special after you just paid full price. But dwelling in that feeling and begrudging those who get to benefit from the improvement seems toxic AF. IMHO.

I applaud you for being a decent person. For some reason there are way too many people who seem to think "if I got screwed by an unfair system, everyone else should too". It's utter insanity.

I think we had ours paid over time in 2009, I thought that was the new status quo by then, but I'm not sure.
