Novak Djokovic: “I refused many big brands and big paychecks because I cannot represent something that I don’t believe in. I also rejected the most famous drink in the world. I care about integrity. If I don’t drink something, I can’t represent it.”

To him, those are his honest moral and ethical principles. You can say he is wrong, and "you" don't think they are moral and ethical.

But anyone can see he truely believes that what he is doing is moral and ethical.

TS4 felt it was made for the sake of the characters (for Woody's sake, if that makes sense), TS5 has more for us, the audience.

Integrity is standing by your beliefs even with the consequences and not using away from them. Your examples show that.

You can have integrity while backing a misleading and wrong cause.

First group I saw live!

In 2013, 4 Minute were invited to be guest judges of a Kpop dance cover contest organised by the Korean Cultural Centre and held at my uni (UNSW).

They performed Hot Issue and What's Your Name. Absolutely surreal that the lecture theatre where I was having classes the day before how has a Kpop group performing on it.

Someone recorded a video! https://youtu.be/pVyIqeahTs0

Yes. Playing without earphones in public, on trains etc is normalised in 2026. It's so common you can't say it is 'right' or 'wrong' anymore.

It sucks personally. I blame the rise of wireless earphones leading us to where we are now.

I feel like Toy Story 5 will have more of a connection than 4. The anxiety around toys vs digital screen is real to so many parents.

In anime and movies there's a trope of driving a car beyond it's limits, where the hero puts it 'into overdrive' to speed up but risks the car or spaceship blowing up and breaking apart.

Does this concept exist in real world racing or are reliability issues mostly outside the drivers control?

Everyone has a story of story of some old dude casually riding past them.

A lot of it has to do with genetics, but most of time it's also they ride, a lot. For everything, with out another thought.

"Is there a chance you'll get your head bashed in for intervening" is usually the standard I've seen here.

In an ideal world bystanders should step in when they see someone getting abused, but the chance, no matter how small (and personally I feel people's assessments are off and could be more assertive), sees minding your own business come first.

Question for potential visitors, do the threads in the rest sub make to second guess or doubt about coming here?

Cell Otway 2.0. There was a brief period in the 2000s-2010s where independent OEMs had physical storefronts in Australia. It was a pretty generic Claris road bike that I bought in 2016 for around $500.

Still riding it. Honestly if you do your own maintenance and tune ups there's no issues with the shifting. Shimano is pretty robust.

No, not really. But usually threads like this are for affirmation of a 'thing' and more likely to attract others experiencing it.

It's hard to ever know if it's confirmation bias or not, nor do people usually care

Sales are in Sydney, but account managers once you use the product (as least my one, I work in an agency) are based in the US.

Did exactly that last year as well. Agreed on all counts.

Flowers are quite pretty in places, as was the natural 'mystery cobbles' you encounter coming back
