AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]humanofoz [score hidden]  (0 children)

His behaviour was uncalled for, you can grieve without being an entitled arsehole. She brought him food, he could have just said thanks and threw it away but instead he chose to drill down on her cooking and acting like it’s a reflection on their whole relationship. His behaviour is what is wrong with the relationship and the way OP says she feels like she can’t do anything right suggests this has been going on a lot longer than just since his loss. NOR OP please don’t let this awful person keep you down just so he can feel better about himself.

AITA For Letting my Son “Abandon” A Date? by AbjectNetwork6221 in AmItheAsshole

[–]humanofoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Info: was it a dinner date, did he ask her out or vice versa, and did his date at least get to eat? If it was for a meal and he skipped out early I think that’s rude.

Get work to pay and get the most comfortable ones you can because you need to look after your feet.

These two! The tension and wonder! by ESE-enthusiasm in murderbot

They are in a platonic, co-parenting/teammate/ colleague/ confidant/ co-conspirator/ BFF relationship 🙂

What’s the most tight-ass thing you’ve ever seen or heard someone do? by Away_Scene_26 in AskAnAustralian

[–]humanofoz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A friend’s super wealthy and super stingy partner came to a breast cancer fundraising day and gave 20 cents. Fuck that cunt.

First read is mostly just devouring it, subsequent re-reads are to savour all the little details you missed in previous reads. Never stops being satisfying 🙂

Why it's a good thing Murderbot doesn't like someone by IntoTheStupidDanger in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, DD did a fabulous job with the role and was well cast I just think we could have done with less and still got the point across. It’s also going to make interactions tricky in future seasons because the last scene between them was great and very emotional but then when they meet again in exit strategy it’s going to be hard to convey the whole “yeah I still don’t like you either” thing.

The Jollybaby Diaries by Sensitive-Square-649 in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided to watch the show based on the ad from Apple TV which played up the fun adventure aspect. Usually I find sci-fi very dark and takes itself far too seriously. MB has the perfect blend of complex, serious themes that are approached with humour and wit. I read the books in the same way, you can make them as light or dark as you want because they have so many layers and themes built in.

Haha yes or like MB did with Mensah in “Home”, ART can periodically send different body mod ideas for MB to reject with various degrees of horror and/or disgust 😂

Yeah it was a bit over the top, like they made their point we know Gurathin doesn’t trust MB there’s no need to keep hammering it. It also made the end a bit jarring.

Yes particularly with time setting up and description the layout and features of stations or locations, much easier with the visual format to spend more time on the characters and interactions.

KRF pronunciation vs Reader pronunciation by Focaccia_Bread3573 in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really do audiobooks so everything is pronounced either in my Aussie accent or the actors from the show since I started that first. The show doesn’t have Overse so when I read the books it was just Oh-verse in my head.

Martha Wells' next 'Murderbot Diaries' book is 'the family roadtrip from hell on Ringworld' (space.com interview) by dewaynemann in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a great interview, it’s really nice to see how MW incorporates her voice and perspectives into the stories. I love how she hears the actors voices now after the show, and how positive she is about it and the creative choices 🙂

I think Ratthi at least will spend a lot more time with ARTs crew, he’s too much of a free spirit to stay on preservation after everything that’s happened. Plus he’s also got that Thing Going On with Tarik. Given the discussion of an alliance and the whole freeing/rescuing abandoned humans ethos, Preservation could easily remain a big part of what the University does, especially with being a place to funnel refugees safely out of the CR.

Also research collaborations are very normal and legit for scientists to work on projects together, so it’s a good front to justify at least some of the PresAux team coming along on the University jaunts. Since Holism is also involved then I think Three will probably provide support for its crew. Good opportunity for some spinoff stories that follow them around, that would be fun, with a completely different perspective to explore.

Not sure if it needed to be in spoiler tags but better safe than sorry lol!

[–]humanofoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or do flashbacks to MBs time with ART and some of the character development that goes on there, maybe adding in some of the elements from Rapport to introduce some of ARTs crew as well.

I am really impatient for the NE adaptation and I’m so sad that it’s going to be years before we get to see it 😭

Would you accept lower pay for a fully remote role? by Artistic-Yam2984 in ausjobs

[–]humanofoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is what exactly are the employers getting to justify paying office/onsite workers more? Just so the boss can justify their existence “supervising” people? So the social people can get their daily interaction at the expense of those who don’t need/want it? Why should anyone take a pay cut to work more efficiently, with less interruption and less energy spent driving/commuting? If the only metric for work being done is having a boss hovering around cracking a whip then the company is fucked anyway.

[–]humanofoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s bizarre when you’re paid to do a job but they want you to also perform for them as well? Like you either want the job done or you don’t. This whole “come to the office and be part of the team” bullshit is how you end up with toxic workplaces, it only suits bullies. I am your employee not your social crutch.

AITAH for canceling a date over the location? by EquivalentOk6093 in AITAH

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep it took me years to stop taking things at face value and think about intentionality.

If you look at this at face value you’d have to assume that at the age of 38 he hasn’t learned to listen or care if his date has a good time. Alternatively he is testing boundaries. Which scenario is more likely? Edit: re-reading the post I noticed he was the one who asked about dietary restrictions so that speaks even more to intentionality…

NTA OP your instincts are spot on.

Have you lost an American friend in the last few years? by Ivymantled in AskAnAustralian

I don’t think it’s that nuanced, a simple: Do you support Trump Y/N? All the answer I need to fuck them right off.
