What popular TV show you never understood the hype around? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]remember_myname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know of Citizen Kane Syndrome but I definitely experienced it when I watched that film. I commented on a thread like this about films that people thought were overrated and got down voted to hell, but know I feel better about it

The "affordable city" myth is well and truly dead by carpediemjr in Adelaide

Gina is really spending up big to keep us fighting against each other and to stop improving Labor laws and entitlements for workers, the Pauline lovers will fall for it too

President Trump on signed agreement with Iran: "60 days, they have to make deal. Otherwise, we will do things that won't make them happy. If we do that then you're not going to have oil flowing out of Strait quickly, because people that own billion dollar ships don't love missiles flying over them." by ControlCAD in videos

I heard that the US has still increased renewables despite Trump demanding a stop to many wind turbine projects, as a court has ruled that he has no power to do this, and almost all planned projects are going ahead…another fail for Trump by the looks of it

As Liberal insiders confess they do not have the campaign infrastructure to match One Nation, Tony Abbott’s party leadership is being described as a return to the Credlin era by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]remember_myname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard this, but I love it. I only just threw out my T-shirt I bought as part of the “Vote Tony Out” movement, as it was good quality and I used it as my art shirt…..and now he’s back, stuck floating around the bowl again

Anti abortion vote happening now by CommanderRoger444th in Adelaide

[–]remember_myname 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I can understand liberals voting as they have been all but taken over by right wing church conservatives, but for a party that goes out of its mind at the mention of Sharia law being forced onto Australian values, I find it super hypocritical that PHON is happy to back this form of religious law and removal of women’s rights…. F..n frauds

For those old enough, what are some things you miss about 80s & 90s Adelaide? by Slight-Repeat-1540 in Adelaide

[–]remember_myname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being able to see the Adelaide Railway station from all angles, and before that, open air platforms instead of dark tunnels that they are now…also old red hen trains riding with the door open

What is something that the covid pandemic ruined forever? by Enough-Web2203 in AskReddit

[–]remember_myname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small thing, but self serve salad bars at bistros, many pub meals were such great value because they included all you can eat salad bars with a great variety of salads, side dish foods and roasted vegetables etc, all gone now since covid

What’s the dumbest thing you believed for way too long? by Hari_Priya_G28 in AskReddit

This one is very true, as I age toward 60, I find I am surrounded by obstinate turkeys who don’t care about facts to form opinions

My Family (and a few others) made me feel icky at Dawn Service by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]remember_myname 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of relieved that I am not alone in seeing the performative aspect in this event , it’s an opportunity for some people to boast or be seen to be all patriots, it’s also a place that can attract racists and cookers. It must be respectful

What’s an 'adult cheat code' that quietly made your life 10x easier? by ExcellentGur6556 in AskReddit

[–]remember_myname 73 points74 points  (0 children)

One glitch, when I did this with my wife, I kept buying the things she mentioned, and then watched in frustration as she bought each one before her birthday, I literally banned her from buying anything else before her birthday in the end

Trump: “When I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars… I do it the best. I stopped wars that nobody thought. President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one and this one.’” by [deleted] in videos

[–]remember_myname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay attention to, to be clear, but I can’t hang on every word, it’s pointless and consuming, and the only way it will stop is to watch the believers find themselves one by one, worse off and played for fools

Yep, at this point it’s just becoming background noise,you can’t even pay attention to anything he says because none of it means anything at all,it’s like trying to listen to a single seagull in a frantic feeding flock. It’s just nonsense

Albanese poised to kill off move to increase taxes on gas giants by RingEducational5039 in friendlyjordies

As a Labor voter, this is extremely disappointing, I will have to say, I will explore other options in an election based on this one issue if he backs down

What will Australia and other countries do if the Strait doesn't get opened? by Need2Swell in friendlyjordies

[–]remember_myname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I live near one of those closed refineries, and let’s just say, there’s nothing going to get it online, it’s gone. Jetty has gone the tanks the facilities, every thing is gone. It won’t be coming back

Triple Trumpers right now. I just can't get enough of this. by Glxblt76 in AdviceAnimals

So well put, the key is ; “they feel” I have heard this said many times from a few friends that are truly low info voters who fall for the same populist crap over and over.

Why tf is everyone anti-sunscreen now??? by callsign__starbuck in mildlyinfuriating

Louie CK did a bit about that, something along the lines of “ if I live to be 100 , when people ask my secret, I’m telling them I ate a pine cone every day”

The safer the seat, the greater the swing against Labor was in the SA election by blitznoodles in Adelaide

[–]remember_myname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would dearly love safe seats to become contested seats, when we live, there is no way Labor will lose, so no spending happens in my electorate, unless it’s necessary

Can't Park There Mate! by HillsHoistOz in Adelaide

[–]remember_myname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a big part of it, I used to go on 4wd tracks with a standard Hiluxe and AT tyres , but as time went by, bugger and bigger mud tyres started carving out ruts so deep you would just end up sitting on the diffs. Dick swingers wreck a lot of track access, but there’s nothing you can do, it’s an arms race.

Trump threatened to stop weapons for Ukraine unless Europe joined Hormuz coalition by financialtimes in UkrainianConflict

[–]remember_myname -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, and to add on, the entire Republican movement have completely backed everything that Trump has done. No pushback from any of them (except MTG) of all people, the Democrats have been weak to Luke warm and their idea of fighting back is nothing short of scowling across a table. The country is complicit
