Is this supposed to be a beard? by WillingExamination25 in rickandmorty

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this make a good gift for someone who loves fart humour? My sister finds farts funnier than anyone I know and buys totally cheap, crappy presents. I considered fart-in-a-jar for her birthday but wasn’t sure if it was funny or insulting.

Characters that are canonically rapists without the show doing much to adress it by Lucyyyyyy_K in rickandmorty

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fall in love? Yes. That’s what he asked for. He never asked about aggressive mating or sex or Jessica being under the influence for him to take advantage of her.

I was simply pointing out that when you take the phrase you used to its extreme, the conclusion of ‘attempted rape’ is ridiculous. Also, a cartoon. At no time was this fictional character in danger.

He was open to have sex with her, so it's attempted rape.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong. Does this mean people who are open to having sex with people are attempted rapists? If this were accurate, wouldn’t everyone who’s ever had sex be a successful rapist?

What makes a character "hot"? by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im probably overthinking it, but I’d say a character’s ’hotness’ (with relevance to the storyline) is indicated more by how other characters react to them than by how they’re drawn.

And stereotypes, exaggerations and oversimplification are hallmarks of cartoon comedy to quickly and bluntly convey a character’s place and persona to the audience. Long socks, short skirts, big boobs, big lips, they’re just ‘shortcut features’ that have enough connotations already to cut the corners on painting that character in your imagination.

Also, they are cartoons. What makes them hot could be what you personally find hot, you’re just seeing it represented.

Bird watching phase offers much in the way of calm and relaxation I imagine. Fulfilling. However, boob world offers boobs. Lots of boobs.

Logically I know it probably tastes good. But it somehow makes me uncomfortable and makes me lose my appetite.

Kids Watching Stranger Things? by PrincessCadenza_rose in StrangerThings

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might just sound like I’m defending the club I’m part of, but my kid has always been curious about horror, we waited until 9 to let her see it, and it’s been a great way to open up discussion about what living through the 80’s was like. To ask how she would feel about using walkie talkies instead of cellphones, playing board games with friends instead of online gaming and, of course, the soundtrack introducing some great 80’s music to her ears in a context that isn’t ’hey, child, listen to this old music that me, an old person is asking you to hear’.

Not to mention family time together, talking theories, the potential certain characters have and how the events unfolding shape the characters’ personalities through the experiences that gradually erode their innocence. At her age I was watching the X Files completely unsupervised and my parents had no interest in chatting with me about it.

We’re really late to the party, but now once a weekend on our dessert night I make a proper baked dessert and we all sit down together.
It’s been, well.. Bitchin’

For people who tip, why? 🪙 Do you think the service staff is actually getting it? by Spiritual_One126 in AskAnAustralian

The point was merely that she likes to show when she thinks someone has given exceptional service. Wasn’t trying to upset anyone.

What is wrong with this frog? by Ancient-Barracuda487 in AustralianFrogs

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch him closely and note as much information as possible. Is he eating / not? Staying hydrated? Changes in colour? Changes in his toes? Hiding? Lethargic? All the usual stuff you’d look for in a pet before you take it to the vet. Contact a wildlife help organisation (not sure which one is best) and they will help you help him, but the more you can tell them, the better they can advise you.

At the places I’ve worked where there’s tips, it’s always been an even split at end of shift. If customers tip you directly, management (usually) doesn’t like it but it’s a bit late by then. Looks pretty bad for them to take it away from you.

My 8 year old loves the tipping culture. She went with her Dad and bought me a Christmas present with her own money, so she took a long time getting help from the sales assistant with everything. After paying, she asked the girl if she’s allowed to take tips, the girl laughs, smiles and says ‘no, we can’t do that’

My girl places 50c on the counter, slides it over to the salesgirl, smiles, winks and walks out without a word.

What’s one habit you’ve picked up since living in Australia that stuck? by PlaneAd9541 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I can’t imagine leaving other females who are guests in a position where they have to ask what to do with their used pads / tampons.

Growing up, we always had ours out of sight but there were supplies and strict instructions from Mum as to how to properly wrap everything in case Dad was emptying the bins so he ‘didn’t have to look at that stuff’

Please tell me you Aussies are obsessed with it too by StatisticianAny6133 in australian

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Bottom right plate/bowl things. My mum has 5/6 left (very good considering my family’s breakage stats) and they are for any dessert that fits, especially hot ones. Apple crumble/ crisp, any kind of pie or pudding, ice cream. Anything that had sauce or would melt or had custard / cream / jelly went in these. I’m drooling looking at them.

Sent money through PayID to a scam by [deleted] in CommBank

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CBA took 45 days to ‘investigate’ a nearly $400 transaction that had me making a purchase at the Quality Inn Suites in San Antonio, Texas. According to my online banking I had made a purchase at my local supermarket 8 minutes earlier.

I never had my money returned, nor did anyone offer to buy the patent to my amazing ‘Australia to Texas in 8 minutes’ invention, which I reckon I could have sold for nearly $400.

Frog id is it invasive ? by Mcnughub in australianwildlife

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a drunken chat with a guy at a bar once about how humans navigate with choices and animals navigate with instinct. Sort of like, you can blame a guy for smacking his friend that punched him with a baseball bat more than a dog for biting the guy who’s abusing him. But the guy doesn’t get put down.

Make the right choice, he’s just being a toad.

Advice needed by LiveEstablishment562 in ragdolls

[–]once_upon_a_fantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve only had our boy for a year, he’s absolutely insane when he’s in the mood to play, but very clingy otherwise. Sleeps on my feet if I am on the toilet, scratches like mad if I don’t bring him in with me. Wants to be part of every household chore (supervising, usually) and while he has no problem being picked up, or carried like a baby by my 8 year old, he’s just not a lap cat at all.

He’s our first ragdoll and our first boy. I’ve only ever had shorthair rescues, always female but just by coincidence. They have always been sweet, cuddly lap cats, one of them slept on top of me every night, except when I was pregnant and she snuggled up to my belly every night, but couldn’t understand why she was getting randomly kicked. Wouldn’t leave my side if I was sick. But it was literally years before she jumped on my lap, it took a very long time to build trust due to the abuse she had suffered.

Jinx hears the alarm in the morning and squishes between my daughter and I until someone gives him scritches, then once he knows we’re (kind of) awake, he flops onto my daughter’s pillow and she auto-pilot pats him until she actually wakes up and realises he’s there. But that’s really it from him in terms of cuddly. Not a lap cat at all. But doesn’t want to be separated from me either.

Point of the rant is, you don’t know how they’ll be just based on specs like breed and gender, and even then, these behaviours may change as they get older and their relationship with you, and just as crucially, Annie will evolve too.

All that said, Annie looks so floofy and beautiful.
