  • 50% paper 🤣 I understand this. My body is a desert.

  • No I saw a documentary and they fly at you like torpedoes

  • Rule

  • This sounds incredible, thank you for posting. But now I'm left with wondering which edition I should try and get...

  • Sting

  • I've never seen it. Was it any good?

  • Plain grey ball cap every time I step outdoors in anything less than smart casual. Slip slop slap and slide, kids.

  • Yep, that's exactly how it works. They're douchebags but this is how TMs work.

  • I like to dance in the shower. I'm basically driving behind the logging truck.

  • Having bought 2 in my lifetime so far my approach has always been to say bugger all to the agent. I owe them nothing. If I have questions I ask, if they ask me questions I give them the most limited information possible, obviously being polite. I always kept my cards close to my chest until it was time to lift the auction paddle.

    Say very little; it's none of their business. Dress how you normally would.

  • I've heard this phenomenon. That us Aussies go over there, especially to the south and are shocked at how cheerful ppl are with their small chat and how you goings as compared to here where we're less inclined to strike up a conversation with a random.

    But then I've had American friends explain that it's all surface. That smiling yank agrees with Trump or reports their neighbours to the HOA for having grass over a centimetre high, or wants to go back to the good old days when the blacks knew their place.

    Half the country wants Trump back. Fuck that.

  • This was great, thanks for posting!

  • I don't know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It's exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

  • No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn't you know? He saw it on TV

  • Keep the day job for now and start volunteering what time you can spare to a cause that resonates with you.

    That might be the night time soup kitchen, or planting trees with your local working bee, or companionship sessions with the local nursing home. You may find an idea for a vocation reveals itself, and be in a position to hear about any opportunities.

    Lefty friendly and community work are pretty well aligned so I think that's a start.

    I feel you re IT and related industries. I just want to close my laptop and never open it again, but it's not an option right now.

  • Be together in my ass

  • I binged it all a few years ago. Yeah... Never need to watch it again. It really overstays its welcome. So repetitive.

  • Uh yeah... Some did say things to that effect.

    And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

    But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn't have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman's brain.

    I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don't at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

  • Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn't a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

    We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn't work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

    It was disappointing.
