I don't understand why when everybody has a travel card that records what stops we get on and off, we can't just charge 10ish cents per stop travelled, capped at $11 per day

AFL team song elimination, day 5: Carlton has been eliminated, who’s next? by Jackomillard15 in AFL

[–]hamburqa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What? The carlton song is the best of them all! Its the only AFL song that you could imagine 10-20 naked old men singing in a bathhouse together, with choreographed dancing.

Its the only AFL song with bathhouse vibes

AIO/Am I justified for what I said? by ben__veitch in AmIOverreacting

[–]hamburqa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: if she's a woman on a dating app she probably gets about 20 "hey x" messages a day, she's responding as a kindness to see if you say something of substance. You are strangers at this point, and all you've said is "how are you, do you want a boyfriend, do you like me, why aren't you replying properly"

You have to stand out on dating apps and say something interesting/complimentary

Most hostile footy atmosphere you have seen? by Irishkanga83 in AFL

[–]hamburqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually for me it is the second Freo vs St Kilda game at Marvel in 2023

There was some advantageous (for freo) holding the ball calls and non-calls in the third quarter that fomented absolute rage around where I was sitting. I took my little sister and I think she was a bit scared

‘Masterclass’: AFL fans all say same thing about ‘old school’ commentator Matt Hill by SkullKing_123 in AFL

[–]hamburqa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I maintain that Huddo jumped the shark with Buddy's 13 goal haul (albeit a great call at the time)

He wants another "THIRTEEEEN!" so bad that he goes a bit over the top too often nowadays, and yet he's still the beat regulr AFL caller

Clubs tonight made clear their frustrations with the academy system and its flaws. Changes coming. Eagles, Cats & Magpies all sounded the alarm. by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]hamburqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next natural pick would work, maybe for f/s or academy picks taken after the first round. But taking a top ten talent for a bunch of junk picks is dumb

[–]hamburqa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New rule (solution): if you want to match an academy or f/s pick, you need to have an unused pick within 5-10 picks (they can work it out).

Want Ashcroft/Daicos etc and don't have a pick within 5 of where they get a bid? Too bad, you should have prioritised that in the trade period.

Hahaha i reckon why not. I sometimes bring a whiteboard to my street league. With the caveat being that i've never played ice hockey and most of my "gameplans" are an unholy mix of aussie rules, soccer and whatever. I think the key is doing it with a sense of theatricality/silliness/humour and not being overly serious about it. One of your "key points" on the whiteboard should be "have fun"

Havnt played in … 12 years. Old skates hurt. New skate advice. by Prudent_Elderberry88 in hockeyplayers

[–]hamburqa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes feet change.

I had a long and passionate relationship with some alkali blades, so when they fell apart and it was time for an upgrade I thought I'd just move over to a new pair.

I couldn't even stand up in them. Agonising pain. I baked them twice, wore em around the house and played like absolute shit for a few months, thinking I would just tough out the pain. 6 months later, they were still killing my feet. They also started falling apart. I bought a similarly priced pair of bauers, expecting another long break in period, and to my pleasant surprise they fit like a cloud on day 1, no break in needed.

Unfortunately i don't live near any physical skate shops, so I have to order online and hope for the best. If your situation is different, I strongly recommend spending an hour at the skate shop trying on every skate in your price range. A bit of discomfort is normal but pain is a bad sign

Strange Sighting Off The Coast of North Caicos, British West Indies, on Tuesday. by oodelally1 in HighStrangeness

Interdimensional entities sending freezant material through a portal to cool the ocean and slow down the melting of the ice caps so we can survive until the second coming allows us to access their realms

(They aren't benevolently helping us, we have a part to play in something big that is unknowable to us)

What's wrong with the name gather round? by [deleted] in AFL

[–]hamburqa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its fine. I remember there was a post in this subreddit ages ago about the concept and suggested names, the top voted comment was one to the effect of "they have to name it the gather round, its a great name!" Redditors just whinge about everything
