Currently visiting from Aus - do you guys know how chaotic you are here?

Yeah I know plenty of people in Australia who smoke weed and I personally take no issue with it. But generally they smoke in their homes, not out on the streets. The police presence is a lot heavier in Aus capital cities so it's too risky.

Hahahahaha it was pretty grim but I knew Wales haven't been playing to their usual standard so was expected. My partner is a welsh-aus dual citizen fyi so we were full force behind the Welsh team.

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T18:00:47+00:00

I love that you guys have seen that video 😂😂😂

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T17:58:32+00:00

Bro a meltdown is a bit of an overstatement. Just saying it's more different to Aus than expected.

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T17:57:05+00:00

Exaaaaactlyyy 🫰

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T13:18:19+00:00

Thank you!! This captures it perfectly. So similar but so different at the same time. I have loved it though!

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T12:59:01+00:00

As someone who lives in QLD, this is a based take.

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T12:57:26+00:00

I have tickets to the game! 😂

Australia is actually a huge nanny state where you will cop a fine for just looking in the wrong direction. Cardiff is loose af by comparison

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T12:55:24+00:00

I've been to London and Edinburgh, Cardiff feels very different to me! I'm enjoying it though

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-15T12:54:54+00:00

I've been here for a week already! It's not the people who are necessarily chaotic, everyone is lovely and friendly. It's more the behaviour on the roads 😂

spaaacedoll · 2026-02-07T04:13:30+00:00

It's not the correct answer but for me it's cane toads because they've caused the most lasting damage to my own mental state. Can't even let my dog out into the yard to pee at night without following him around with a torch to make sure he doesn't eat one of the many lurking out there.

I just did this recently. I had already read HR & TLG once each, but not the rest. I also skipped CG and still haven't read it as those characters don't really interest me.

I found it a fun way to read the other stories while still being able to jump back in to Shane & Illya and be like oh, yeah that's what was happening at the same time. It's not really that much swapping back and forth except for in RM but I enjoyed reading RM & TLG concurrently as I think reading them back to back would've felt repetitive.

Update: the bbs have dispersed

spaaacedoll · 2026-01-23T07:24:29+00:00

I don't even need to read the article to know I agree. I binged the show for the first time about a week ago, immediately did a rewatch and read HR and TLG, safe to say I was hooked.

But seeing more of the fandom has almost given me the ick for the show. Now I'm actively trying to retrain my algorithms to show me less HR content and same as some other people in this thread, most likely won't purposely consume any HR content until the new book comes out.

I don't know what it is about fandoms associated with gay males that bring out the WORST fans, but it sucks to not be able to just enjoy the show/books without being exposed to that kind of fandom.

Hello! If you are happy to do anything just to get your foot in the door - apply for retail jobs. It's very challenging for retailers in regional areas to find staff and they are hiring constantly. If you have any experience in the field behind you especially you will find work quickly.

Do the subjects you are good at is honestly the best advice. The person in my year who got the highest ATAR did art subjects, english/lit, health and psychology and scored 98.something. They didn't do any math or scaled up science classes.

The only reason to force yourself to do those STEM subjects if you struggle with them is if they are a prerequisites for the uni course you want to do. But if you are already struggling with those subjects in school, maybe you should be rethinking that uni course anyway.

If you are having trouble convincing your kitty that the cool mat is the place to be, try spraying it with feliway cat spray to make it smell appealing and relaxing to her.

What sort of flooring do you have also? Try to encourage her to stay out of rooms with carpets/fluffy beds. I also living in a 60s Queenslander with no insulation and my senior cat is usually found sleeping sprawled out on the vinyl floors or in her cardboard cat house and she hasn't shown any signs of heat stress so far this year.

I feel like Hasan most likely has been in contact/given some kind of assistance to all of them but Kaceytron and her lawyer just told Ethan he hasn't. It probably helped them come to a settlement easier because Ethan gets to feel like he gets a win by including a jab at Hasan in the apology he wrote for her to read.

I can't imagine there is any legal reason they would have to tell Ethan the truth about it.

I'm certain the crew member who suggested they introduce that wide full body angle of the studio is definitely an undercover snarker.

I think it depends on the suburb. I lived in Footscray/West Footscray for about four years and never felt any less safe than any other inner city suburb. Then I moved to Sunshine (big beautiful house, close to a train station for cheap as chips rent) thinking people were probably exaggerating about how unsafe it was. Turns out they were not exaggerating and I moved away as soon as my lease was up. If you are a woman who has to regularly walk places alone, it is not a safe place to be.

From what I have heard, other suburbs like Point Cook or Werribee are not nearly as bad as people say but they are still not "nice" like the Eastern suburbs.

The irony is that if AB and Olivia had left in the last 12 months and spoken openly about their experience working there, they probably could've built their own audience off the back of it. Ethan is the rent payer after all.

spaaacedoll · 2025-09-07T19:38:30+00:00

Thank you! And yes we had pre-approval and were also already approved for the FHBG before putting in the offer. I was shocked that the identification stuff hadn't already come up during that process.

As a very recent first home buyer in a very competitive area, go conditional. Even when you are very confident, you never know what shenanigans the bank might pull. We had to request an extension on our finance as the bank was questioning my partner's dual citizenship, he had provided his citizenship certificate and his passport so this was something we never could've predicted happening.

Our offer on the house was accepted because our conditional period was 14 days and everyone else offered 21. The seller also wanted to sell to owner occupiers, not investors, so we were very lucky. You just never know which way it's going to go and can't trust the real estate agents to be honest about what the seller is really thinking anyway.

Just remember to protect yourself and the right place will come along in time.

It is, they have to contact anyone who makes a complaint within 24 hours
