  • I bought my wife a 'fake ’ diamond ring for the engagement ring.

    She couldn’t tell her snooty friends that though, so she went and bought herself a very expensive ring with real diamonds.

    She had the ring I bought her melted into my wedding band. I hate jewellery though so had no intention of wearing it. I agreed to wear it for a week after we got married. I’ve never worn it again. I haven’t even seen it since that first week. Over a decade. I wonder if it’s just lost, or she has it somewhere still.

    I don’t care enough to ask.


  • It’s a short sighted argument to say baddies don’t follow the rules so your only restricting honest people.

    In Australia assault rifles and automatics are just outright banned. You need a licence to own any type of gun, which takes 6 months waiting for background checks to be done. Guns must be kept in Safes etc.

    So whilst a baddie might want to get an assault rifle and go on a kill rampage he can’t. There just aren’t any around. You can’t break in to a house and steal one.

    Can organised crime get them? Sure. But that’s not what this is trying to stop. It’s preventing the impulsive bat shit crazy person going on a rampage.

    It absolutely helps, as proven by Australias lack of mass shootings.

    People who want to go hunting still can.





  • I get up at 4am on days I have to go to the office. Driving an hour to work at 4:30 sucks but it’s better than driving 2 hours to work at 6:30.

    On Fridays I either have the day off or have to work 4 hours, alternating each week.

    I get up at 4am on the working Friday and finish at 8 exactly like this guy suggests because it feels like I have every week being a 3 day weekend.

    It is shit cramming a full working week into Mon-Thursday though. My employer implemented the 4 day work week if we wanted. You still have the work the hours though, so it’s quite shit.

    I know quite a few people just went back to working 5 days to shorten each day.

    I don’t agree with the Mac one.

    The Mac UI is basically windows 3.1.

    It’s absolutely awful.

    Also, windows will never brick your machine because of a full hard drive. My wife has a shitty MacBook air. She filled the drive completely. The OS can no longer function. It boots and that’s it. You can’t open anything, you can’t delete anything. Every single click says free up HDD space, even deleting files.

    It’s so fucking bad.



  • All the renter’s calling for the heads of the upper middle class property owners.

    Stop coming after us. We already pay the most tax and get the least benefits from the tax.

    We don’t get all the offsets the millionaires get, and we don’t get the handouts the poor get.

    We just get gouged everywhere. We don’t know enough to invest in anything other than housing.

    Stop coming after us. We aren’t the problem.
