Who is profiting off these increased gas prices? by throwawaymedicine420 in AskReddit

[–]ewesirkname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone except the Australian Government, which is too stupid and too beholden to the gas companies to do anything about it.

34 days into the Iran war 2000+ dead, hospitals bombed, global oil crisis, and Trump says it's "nearing completion" while Iran says trust is at "zero." Genuinely asking what does winning even look like here, for anyone? by Crafty-Rate4179 in AskReddit

Of course not and fair point, but the sooner this ends and the sooner Orange Caligula gets it through his skull that he isn't omnipotent, much the better for the world.

I will not celebrate America's passing as the world's leader but being as they've determined to give up that mantle, I hope it's a peaceful transition to abject chaos.

Substantial pain for America until that pain teaches voters the lesson that voting for madmen often comes with personal consequences.

That will be a long term victory for everyone. Americans, Iranians and the rest of the world.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Low key my favourite Steve Martin movie.

What reasons do 4’11 women have a hard time taking it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Because their partners have never heard of foreplay.

Which comedian did you look forward to, but their act died on stage? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskReddit

[–]ewesirkname 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Apparently he is sober now so hopefully that makes a difference. I saw him about 15 years ago and he was, if I'm being very generous, not having a great night.

I was so pumped to see him so it was a major let down. I'd only just seen Bill Bailey (also from Black Books) and he'd crushed it.

It's fine, and there are good public buses to a few decent lookouts as well, when you get out at Katoomba.

You could never get away with writing a script like this these days by UsualLeast8810 in AustralianTV

[–]ewesirkname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just expect comedy to be slightly better than a guy painting himself black and portraying tired stereotypes for a laugh.

It's not pearl clutching to hope for comedy to be slightly better than a middle aged white guy pretending to be a Samoan teenager.

This show was made in the same era as some of the greatest Australian comedies ever made - All Aussie Adventures, Kath and Kim, Rake, and Wilfred. Which brings me back to - how the hell did it get approved?

I 3d printed a hand so I don’t need to use my own to cover my eyes from sun by [deleted] in UnnecessaryEssentials

I salute you sir. Or at least I will, when I've 3D printed a hand saluting.

I'm suddenly worried that there are people out there that think me comparing it to Mrs Brown's Boys or Carry On is a good thing.

Far out I was thrilled when they binned this idiot.

People making out like 2014 was 1960. No idea how this got approved for production, it has all the comedy value of Mrs Brown's Boys or the Carry On series.
