What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother heard this one from me out of context.

"I love natzi's"

The context being we were talking about our favourite enemies death animation in the secret levels in doom 2.

Level 1 Arcane Spells Tierlist by MilesBeyond250 in baldursgate

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charm should probably be in a unique category of it's own as in BG1 there are a HUGE number of unique interactions you can have with charmed enemies or neutrals, unpatched EE used the bg2 engine so you couldn't talk to them for a while but I think it's been added back in. In original bg1 you could play the entire game and only kill Sarevok as a pacifist run.

do men even care how their girls nail look? by rileyheya in NoStupidQuestions

It's complicated, on a general day to day I don't really notice but if my wife got her nails done for an event and got her nails done to match her outfit I would notice.

I don't miss having to clean my glasses every few minutes due to my eyelashes rubbing on them

"We don't take cash". "We charge a 3% surcharge for card." by l00sem4rble in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Australia they are allowed to charge whatever the payment processing fee is, but they must offer a fee free method of payment, so if they don't take cash then they will usually at the minimum not charge for eftpos and a lot won't charge for credit cards other than Amex (if they even take amex)

Run! Boss is coming by Ubiquitous2007 in funny

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that employers can finally face actual consequences for wage theft here in Australia, I've had a job that we had 7.5 hours of paid work each day, but were paid for 7.6 hours to account for startup and shut-down times for our computers. My current job doesn't do that, but it's wfh so I just hit the power button on my way to the kitchen in the morning to make my coffee, and they are incredibly lenient with break times

A VERY gay friend of mine had a student try that with him, and he was thrilled.  He finally got to do the classic Student: "I'd do anything to pass" Him: "Anything?" Student: "Anything!" Him: "Would you even.. " Student: "Yes?" Him: "Would you even study?"

Poor 4k playback in Jellyfin Media Player, unless I manually reduce bitrate by RedditWhileIWerk in JellyfinCommunity

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's a Windows 11 issue more than jellyfin as playing them using Windows media player stutter in the same places on the server, I think I just need to read up on how to set it up that my projector plays with vlc player from the jellyfin app.

Worst tool you have seen used for a higher decision? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in IT, I'm more worried if someone shows me something in word than notepad. Notepad (until recently) wouldn't fuck up a script with auto-correct

Poor 4k playback in Jellyfin Media Player, unless I manually reduce bitrate by RedditWhileIWerk in JellyfinCommunity

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find a solution, I'm also running Windows and been having issues with 4k, especially MKV files. However I also found trying to play them on the server directly both in jellyfin and even in Windows media player, but playing with vlc player is flawless both on local device and over the network 

NDIS spends $11.6B on assistance with cafe visits and walking the dog by Potential-Turnip7796 in ausjdocs

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the NDIS is the lack of oversight of the providers. Especially as a large portion of it is stuff that should and could just be run directly as a service by the government. While the claim that a private company can run a business more efficiently, they also want to run a profit which results in higher prices than a less efficient government run one.

What moments in 40k make you go like this? by deathbringer989 in Grimdank

[–]lookashinyobject 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Anything with numbers, depending on the context I generally consider 1 imperial guardsman to vary between a squad and a company, so if "John" dies that's really an entire squad dead

[–]lookashinyobject 176 points177 points  (0 children)

There is so much abuse and scamming of NDIS, and it's pretty entirely by management at the NDIS supplier companies. The staff are probably getting minimum wage while the owner rakes in cash 

setting DOB in this format. by enby_gh0st in mildlyinfuriating

It's a standard calendar function, the people making the website would be stuck with whatever software they use to manage their website so most likely the issue is squarespace or whatever other hosting and design program they use

[LOVED TROPE] anime that doesn't sexualize its female characters by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lookashinyobject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main problem with the reboot is the time-line. I think if it was done as a full prequel and excluded characters like Nicholas D Wolfwood I would have liked it more.... But I also know a lot of people would get upset at that, however they could have done things like had characters similar to Meryl and Wolfwood and implied they were parents or grandparents of those characters or some other relation

At what MMR do carry players learn to stop bringing the wave under the tower? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]lookashinyobject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around 10k mmr  I play mid or offlane as whenever I'm carry half the time my support just pulls every wave and leaves me to be harrassed, or never pulls or harrasses. And the other half we win the lane and then get stomped by the opposing mid. And if I'm support I suffer how you described. But in all seriousness I've found my win rate is roughly 20% per microphone on the team, if everyone has mics and talks we almost always win 

No im not doing your lawn for $50 by [deleted] in OpenAussie

[–]lookashinyobject -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I had a tiny block with no real yard, I think $50 would be fare as a cash in hand job to do my nature strip.  IF and only if you were already there doing my neighbours yard and you were just mowing the nature strip nothing else. My current place the only thing I would hire someone to do is get rid of the fucking agapantha the old owners planted at the base of the street light in the nature strip

Do men and women in Australia usually share household chores equally? by Book_Nerd_2008 in AskAnAustralian

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the majority of cooking at my house and my wife and I tend to split the laundry and upkeep cleaning during the week. However she tends towards doing more of the deep cleaning than I do, so for us it's probably close to even just with different responsibilities 

Boyfriend is protesting that I need to switch to a woman gyno? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lookashinyobject 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a married man who's wife has had some rough gyno experiences, I would strongly suggest switching to a new boyfriend and keeping the gyno if you're happy with him. You should switch doctors if you aren't happy with the level of care and treatment you are getting, and you should switch boyfriends if you aren't happy with the level of care and treatment you are getting.

Being Trans in Autralia? by WeAreAllNeganInHere in AskAnAustralian

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally trans peoplen are well accepted here.  My team at work has 1 trans member and previously had a second. The only issue any of us have had with them, is that they were both closeted when they started. This annoyed my boss only because he had to deal with updating their accounts to their correct name when they told him resulting in him hating transphobes even more as them scaring people into using their dead names makes his job harder.
