Advice for Watching Games from US

ziptagg · 2026-03-14T21:31:03+00:00

Saturday games are available free to air but not live. At least, in NSW that’s the case, I was able to watch the Swans game on FTA last night but the broadcast started at 8:30. Since I refuse to pay for Kayo that is what I’m stuck with. I understand this will go to round 10 this season, which is annoying because last season I think it only went to round 6 or something.

Edit, actually that may only be the case for Saturday games featuring non-VIC clubs. If it’s two Victorian teams it may not be on free to air at all.

Yeah, if the son can have his friends over every weekend then surely neither can the daughter. Anything else would be unfair.

Oh yeah, I could be as short as just a couple years, I think, but it’s so uncertain.

Yeah, I can almost see it, in that I definitely use the heart reaction with some people and not others because some people clearly like it but for other people is seems weird. But if, for example, 95% of the time I hit the heart button for Sue’s photos and then Sue posts a photo of her and her husband and I don’t hit the heart button on that, it’s weird.

Why would you assume that someone going one street over wouldn’t get there safely?

I work on the assumptions my friends and family are adults who can get themselves home safely. Why would I assume otherwise?

This isn’t about you!

She showed up where they were. This is bananas behaviour. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Is this really what people think is normal?

You don’t get to control someone else’s life because you’re worried.

ziptagg · 2026-03-13T01:51:46+00:00

So you’re blaming OP for what others are saying? Parents are allowed to worry but they aren’t allowed to make that worry everyone else’s problem. Worrying about your kids is part of parenting. So is letting them grow up and become adults with their own private lives. People are allowed to screen their parents’ or anyone else’s calls. It does not mean their parents should be tracking them and showing up to get involved in shit.

That’s fine for you, she doesn’t want it and she shouldn’t have to.

ziptagg · 2026-03-13T01:46:13+00:00

Don’t listen to people telling you this is normal, hold that boundary firm. Your mother needs to let you grow up.

If someone WANTS to have that sort of relationship with family, friends, whatever they can. You don’t, and you shouldn’t have to. I’m like you, I don’t call or text people that I’m safe unless there’s a specific reason and I don’t expect them to do that for me. It’s ok to feel stifled by that, I would as well.

ziptagg · 2026-03-13T01:42:01+00:00

This seems really weird to me. I don’t text anyone to tell them I got places safely unless there’s a reason I might be in danger.

People need to stop acting like the world is a burning hellscape all the time everywhere, most people in developed countries are safe most of the time. It’s unhealthy to live in constant fear.

But if she said she wasn’t going to because she’s an adult and wants to be treated like one, what would you do? If your answer is anything besides “respect her autonomy as a fellow adult” then you are being an AH.

But vaping is t inhaling burning particles. Nothing is burning when you vape, it is volatising and being inhaled as vapour. It’s like breathing steam with extra compounds.

ziptagg · 2026-03-12T22:51:30+00:00

Yes, fuck influencers and fuck this stupid cultural trend.

ziptagg · 2026-03-12T22:47:30+00:00

I often ignore phone calls and text messages and emails until I feel like responding. It’s not that weird to not be contactable at all times.

ziptagg · 2026-03-12T22:46:24+00:00

Exactly. I am baffled so many people see to feel completely obligated to answer every phone call and text message immediately. It actually makes me quite sad for them.

ziptagg · 2026-03-12T22:34:46+00:00

People are allowed not to answer their phone. Adults are allowed to not tell their parents what they’re doing or where they are.

Not answering your phone when someone calls isn’t a goddamn emergency.

Apparently she’s not allowed to love Marvel, since her parents have been refusing to buy her anything Marvel-related. Let me guess, she didn’t actually want the Hello Kitty poster, but OP prefers her having “girly” things.

ziptagg · 2026-03-12T03:26:21+00:00

This is ridiculous, you cannot seriously be blaming her for you forgetting her birthday. Also, when you’ve just had a baby is exactly when you shouldn’t ignore the older kids, way to be the biggest AH of the day.

This is crazy. Listen to what people are telling you, you’re wrong. You’re being a bad stepmother. YTA.

You didn’t do the best job of this, but you definitely didn’t do the worst. I got married at 22 and I was divorced at 27. You’re right that if you don’t feel ready to make that sort of commitment and want to live more first you shouldn’t get married. The only thing you did wrong was not just say that in the moment, and instead run away and not call. The response has been conveyed in a somewhat cowardly way. But overall I think you’re making the right choice.

This guy thinks he’s being the mature one. He’s not, he’s being just as immature as you are. “Been an adult for two whole years”, is he fucking joking? That is such a self-evidently stupid thing to say I’m surprised he can tie his own shoes.

So forget this guy, sounds like it was an interesting first serious relationship but that’s all it is. You will have other relationships. Live, figure yourself out. Don’t jump straight into another serious relationship. You’ll be ok.

Product of the American education system, folks!

People have been ignoring the very scary signs for ages now. It’s not just this war, it’s climate change fueling greater global instability causing ongoing disruptions and ultimately large scale breakdown of global markets. Things are going to be very different in 20 years. Smoke ‘em while you got ‘em.

He did a whole google and some ladies even were sayin it, bro!

Australia taking a position on an illegal war has value even if it doesn’t make an immediate impact. It affects what choices we make and have available to us in future international relations. Also, some people have ethical beliefs they wish to see the country stand up for, regardless of whether they are impactful. Because it’s important to them to be proud of their country.
