  I really enjoyed doing a Cain novel, then a Gaunts Ghosts novel, then a Cain novel and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite quickly?

  I would say with almost unseemly haste

  Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.

  Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.

  Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any good laptop cleaners so I can set it to max settings and get rid of bloware that are free?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TBH its probably been close to that since I used it. Shame, It used to be a solid tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any good laptop cleaners so I can set it to max settings and get rid of bloware that are free?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Piggybacking off this, is Ccleaner still any good?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming didnt exist in 1970⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know its a bit off topic but at least in Australia all the free to air channels have their own app and if you have them all its a not insignificant selection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or worse.

  Theres a product I need, never seen an ad for it. Go online, buy it. Thats all my ads are for the next 3 months like I’m some sort of fucking collector now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally, taxpayer dollars put to a good use⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This one doesnt rate for me.

  You can throw a loosely packed snowball in a fun way and you can throw a compressed af snowball with intent to cause harm.

  Show me the video because without evidence this could be anywhere from “stupid cop with stupid hurt feefees” to “Bruh you tried to nail a cop with a 88mph fastball for funsies, the fuck did you think was gonna happen?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its like when I talk about cars.

  I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that (back in the day) I can do half drunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WMD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a grown man the subject of getting smacked with a thong/flip flop came up and well… we tested it. Grown men spanking each others bare arses with a flip flop. We all agreed that while the activity was slightly gay, it was also hilarious and incredibly painful.

  In short, it sucks as much as it did when you were a kid.

  Taking off a pair of big heavy steel toed workboots after a long day in the sun is pretty fucking good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wouldn't change anything!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should try still having a soft spot for rap music from 20 years ago.

  Every damn time I open my phone 50 cent is starting shit with someone again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive always wondered something similar about ancient artwork.

  Like, sure I can tell its a horse, but thats a shitty horse. Thats a horse from the finest artistic minds of the day that looks like a 7yo did it these days. Like someone didnt look at that misshapen lump and think "I can make that look more like a horse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It also makes healthy shit taste better.

  You can absolutely fuck up a bag of baby carrots and cucumber sticks and a tub of hummus too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sick days⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also I claim the doctors visit as a work expense because in order to get paid I need one :) its a condition of my employment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when it comes to things like Tvs.

  “Would you like the extended warranty out to 5 years for an extra $200”

  No because that would have made my $600 tv an $800 tv which will be made to look like a piece of crap by a $400 tv in 5 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure, Jan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah dont be revisionist, Bawitaba was a hell of a jam when it came out, pretty much that whole album went hard.

  I’ll listen to it still, but only through a medium where he doesnt get paid royalties because NOW he is a piece of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Islandium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or blue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, customer service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.

  I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, customer service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.

  I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”

  People just want to be taken seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How accurate is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.

  Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on “Enjoy” when you give it to them.

  They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I’ll ruin yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone explain why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now this is a half remembered anecdote so… pinch of salt.

  But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use to be saturday morning cartoons. Now its Saturday morning constitutional violations.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wake up in Australia every morning and check the news wondering if any of the headlines are going to be the 2026 Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Freezing soup in glass mason jars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, also if you can do the initial freeze with the lid off thats also going to help prevent cracking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The rectangular loaf was designed for packing efficiency. Once bakeries became a thing and moving bread over distances to supply people became more and more common bakers realised that bread isnt heavy, its bulky and packing efficiency was an easy way to reduce costs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have to deal with this during your morning commute?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking love cars.

  I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
