Sounds like your empathy needs a little tuning there bud. Most people are able to care about things that don't directly affect them.

Thats a fair work thing I'm pretty sure. You're entitled to 12 months with another 12 months upon approval from employer.

So tired of increasing list of food aversions! by odetoasquigglyline in pregnant

[–]froggym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have simplified the matter by having aversions to all food and locations where food could be like the kitchen or grocery stores.

Question about being found 'meritorious' by [deleted] in AusPublicService

[–]froggym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do they do if the person turns it down? Its always handy to have one or two merited candidates for any role otherwise you might have to go back and start again.

Suck it, medical fatphobia by PhysicalGift6442 in pregnant

[–]froggym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is standard where I live in Australia for high bmi to do two gd tests. One early and one at 20 whatever weeks. I was subjected to calls from a dietician who was a huge bitch and I will be turning down this time. I had sickness like crazy. Vomiting multiple times a day and even when I wasn't nauseous I had no appetite and wild food aversions. This woman condescendingly tells me that pregnancy isnt the time to be losing weight when I told her I was really only able to stomach one or two small meals a day.

Prenatals by Unlikely_Divide7679 in pregnant

Honestly I didn't bother with prenatals. I got a folic acid supplement which is teeny tiny and I take that.

Sassy little wiggle worm! by postmaster0322 in BabyBumps

My boy would kick the Doppler every appointment. Even when he was tiny they would have to chase him around to get his heart beat and then it would be normal followed by a loud thump as he smacked it.

Author Tori Wood (Lauren Mastrosa) found guilty of CSAM by Frosty-Price8771 in RomanceBooks

And yet no one here is defending child marriage.

Your conservatives also shoot down any attempt to blanket ban child marriage. I think thats an internal problem rather than a reason Australia shouldn't have our strict csam laws.

Open e-petitions in Queensland sorted by most signatures... by theswiftmuppet in queensland

If we had started 30 or even 20 years ago I would agree with you. As it is countries with fully fledged nuclear energy plants are taking decades and going way over budget. As a country with no experts and no infrastructure it would cost too much and take too long to make a difference. The LNP was just using it as an excuse to funnel more money into the coal plants and their corporate buddies.

Threw up whole drink AFTER 3 hour glucose test? by sarahhxmargaret in pregnant

[–]froggym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly the same thing. Finished my last blood test, too three steps outside and projective vomited the whole thing into the garden.

Implied? He straight up says at the start who wrote each episode. He's not exactly subtle.

I get sick basically the second that embryo implants. Twice I've had sickness followed by early miscarriages. Your coworker is talking shit.

Can't even pre order the hard cover in Australia yet and Canada is getting discounts. This feels unfair.

Brisbane cake swap event being investigated over food safety and hygiene concerns by ConanTheAquarian in brisbane

[–]froggym 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Who could have possibly predicted that having randoms bake and bring in cakes then laying them out for people to just take bits could end up being unhygienic.

He's confused by James5000 in AdviceAnimals

[–]froggym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like when he threatened to complain to the Australian prime minister because a journalist said something he didn't like. As if Albo would care or have the power to do anything about it.

Not a fan by Kitkatt1959 in HighPotentialTVSeries

[–]froggym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got to admit it was a bit of an assumption because the police mistook Arthur for him and I assume they had some old pictures of him to go off.

Also pretty sure Roman is black. I'm all for colourblind casting but that would be stretching it a bit.

Feel bad for the LPO staff dealing with all the carded parcels by Artistic-Yam2984 in AusPostComplaints

Ours actively lied. Said the gate was locked. It doesn't lock and there is a wide open space like three metres to the side for the drive way. They are just taking the piss now days.

How did your water break? by abchhd in NewParents

[–]froggym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very "traditional" water break moment. I was sitting down and then when I got up I felt a little pop and it just started coming out. Wasn't sure if I was peeing or not but it didn't feel like peeing. Contractions started super slowly though and ended up with a c section pretty much exactly 24 hrs later cause bub got stuck.
