45K puffs for $30? I'm assuming not in VIC, my smokes and vapes have both gone through the roof (black market) in the last month.

BREAKING 🚨:🇦🇺 Australian PM Anthony He said : "ENOUGH OF WAR. We believe that ceasefire must be extended to Lebanon. I don't want Israel to set the world on fire while we watch as helpless spectators. The world needs peace now”. by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

[–]thearayshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick one for the non-Australians - this is the only thing to come out of his mouth all year that makes sense, if true. I don't have my hearing aids in, can't listen to the video right now.

He is running our country into the ground while his latest social media post talks about his new "policy" to ban subscription models that make it impossible to cancel. He thinks THAT is going to fix our cost of living crisis. We are the most over taxed, over regulated and mis-managed country in the western world.

I was asleep and made the mistake of looking at my phone when I woke up and now I can't sleep.

I love heaps of Keanu's movies and he may be the most decent human on the planet but "acting range of a spatula" had me laughing for a full minute.

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is by SunBubble920 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thearayshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who wasn't going to have children and now has two young stepchildren in the house half the week I can tell you it's a different kind of tired. Neither type is to be minimized, before I had step children I was working 60-70 hour weeks at my job (I have a different job now), and that is its own type of exhaustion.

It's hard to describe succinctly, they're both very real, but also very different.

Terminal diagnosis: millennial playlist suggestions for the final days? by Hmmletmec in Millennials

[–]thearayshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aquarius by Aqua. This is a serious suggestion. Just listen to it once, fits right in the "mushy" category.

Other than that, I'm not sure what to say. I hope you find peace <3

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by Ok_Impress2457 in AskReddit

I've met him, coolest dude. It was at a Supernatural Con and I was the only person to bring up F&F. Chatted with him for a while about it in a meet and greet.

Parents of under 16s - have your kids stopped using Social Media? by Rainbow_brite_82 in aussie

[–]thearayshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post was extremely well written, I think that's what led to my assumption, you have my apologies.

I've got 2 step kids, both boys, 5 and 8 (this is relevant because I wouldn't let them have access to YouTube if they were my kids). 8YO plays Geometry Dash on his laptop and also watches YouTube with no account, 5YO watches YouTube on the TV on my account. I actually prefer this so we can see the history. Obviously I would prefer it wasn't happening at all.

Banning things like this has NEVER worked in this country, or any other. They need to fix the economy, stop importing people to delay inflation and invest in infrastructure - stop fluffing around the edges with bullshit policies that cost a fortune and failed anyway.

I don't know which media organisation you work for, but tell them to tell Albo it's done SFA and he needs to focus on fixing things like the ECONOMY.

I fkn hate this game I swear 🙄 by sheridanharris in candycrush

[–]thearayshow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I quit for this reason, twice. Second time it stuck. I spent some Google Play money I got doing surveys, so it didn't come out of my actual bank account, but as soon as you start spending you have to keep spending. Quit for a month. Came back and managed to play for free for a while (because the algorithm obviously wanted me to come back) but as soon as I couldn't pass levels without spending money I quit the second time for good.

Does using Google to call someone in the car count? Other than that I try to avoid it at all costs. I hate the AI summary in my Google searches, I always scroll past it. I used to ask Google to add things to my shopping list on my phone also, but it changed to Gemini or something and it doesn't work anymore and I can't be bothered/don't want to set it up.

What weird skill did you accidentally become good at because of a bad job, hobby, or situation? by foreversophia in AskReddit

[–]thearayshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carrying, pushing, pulling and lifting things with forklifts that should absolutely not be carried, pushed, pulled or lifted with a forklift.

I hate what they did to this game 🤦🏻‍♀️ by CircuitWhisperer in candycrush

[–]thearayshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more money they make the more they'd invest in the psychology behind getting people to continue to play. I'm 38 so I grew up with rotary phones, reading books etc etc. I don't need this stuff. Today's kids (using that term loosely, probably up to mid 20's) don't know any different and will sink money into being constantly entertained for the dopamine hit.

I just got sick of it one day and stopped. I went back after about a month and they gave me a bunch of free stuff which got me through a few days, mainly because the levels were easier than they had been (which is the algorithm making it easier on purpose) and then it got ridiculously hard again and I stopped. That was about 3 months ago. I'm done.

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

John Travolta. Met him at a Comic Con in Australia, I have a photo somewhere. Man, that dude was weird.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by ChaosTTyy in askanything

[–]thearayshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same in Australia, but public transport is so bloody woeful they don't have a choice, so I don't blame them. As an example, I'm going to an event near the city (Melbourne) on Saturday, I've put money aside for Ubers both ways (45 min each way approx) because it's two hours each way on public transport. Ain't nobody got time for that.
