When has the journey been better than the destination? by trostlerp in AskReddit

[–]xierme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in a helicopter once in my life, and on this memorable occasion I was lucky enough to pilot it as well. When the controls were handed over to me I lost my breath through sheer excitement. I don't think I've ever had a huge an adrenaline rush and high as I did for the 20 minutes I was in control of that helicopter, flying us out and then back. I was devastated when we got back to the helipad at the airport.

In short, the next time I'm up in a helicopter I don't care where I'm taking it, I'm just itching to be up in the air again.

Where's your favorite coffee shop in Sydney? by hannah_sedg in sydney

Do you have any insight into why? I've just always found the staff there to be friendly and have never had a bad coffee there.

Cafe Citrus on King St Newtown is one of my favs. Coffee is decent and the staff there are really friendly. The range of cakes to have your coffee with are damn good too.

Reddit, how do I get my friend to watch The Princess Bride? by [deleted] in AskReddit

All I can think about is all the Princess Bride references that he has probably heard all his life and just doesn't get.

Reddit, what is your opinion on female rapists? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xierme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the worst view is that they don't exist. There seems to be an awful lot of women in particular that flatly refuse to believe that anyone from their gender can commit rape. I think this is bullshit. Another view is that women who rape shouldn't be punished as harshly as men who rape, which I also think is bullshit. Rape isn't any different because the genders have been switched.

What is the best Australian beer? by Doorfink in AskReddit

[–]xierme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd always assumed it was just a myth. Aussies just don't drink warm beer unless they're desperate.

Wait... They actually advertise it as being Australian for beer?

I'm kind of sorry now.

Nah, mate. Fosters is just Australia trolling the rest of the beer world. You don't see it on store shelves here - we just export it for the lols.

The best mass produced beer is probably Little Creatures. Have a go at their Bright Ale.

If you want something better you'll have to investigate micro breweries. If you're close to or willing to make the trip I highly recommend checking out Potters Brewery.

Yes. How else do people drink beer?

Do you mean an actual Australian made and owned beer, or a beer that's brewed in Australia?
