My appreciation for fireplaces really went up this winter. I used it as a main source of heating and it was ridiculously cheaper than previous winters when I would rely on our ducted heating (even …
To those who signed up, what did you go to first? Old favourites or did you find something new? I have really enjoyed Alienation and Battle Chasers. Almost 70 hours in those 2 alone. Otherwise, I …
This was recommended to me by a friend who believes in all this energetic healing stuff, but I'm personally against most of these things as they go against both science and religion. But after …
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/sep/09/contr... A new proposal seeks to discriminate against men by making them wait longer for their license, raising the driving age to 21 or …
America just cancelled a massive wave of student debt, essentially making college free for young students. Australia seems to be going in the opposite direction. Not only do we still enforce uni …
Does anyone else find these completely degrading and pointless? They are not anonymous, despite what you're told. Maybe they can't see individual responses but the whole purpose of it is to …
Seems obvious that the global order wants us to ditch meat and turn to crickets and other tasty crawlers as an environemtly-friendly solution to greenhouse gasses. With environmentalism picking up …
Is it the sugar that makes it addictive or something else? I can't get enough of it, them again might be just because I usually only drink water (never touch soda or cordial) so my taste buds …

I've dissed EB many times on here before, but truthfully I never shopped with them besides buying the odd new release or accessories. Anyway I recently had a few unwanted games that I …
I'm far from the most hygienic person, at least according to most social norms. But people who lick their fingers while eating seem to be on a whole new level of degeneracy. Like, what possible …

I just can't see any way out for them. Their prices are absurd, their stores are usually empty, and general chains like Big W or Target can almost always beat them on stock and price. Their …
I have a lot of friends in crypto and they can't seem to answer this. They go on about how it's decentralised, so no tracking, you can bypass government rules and economic tactics etc. …
All deets here https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/05/new-playstation-plus-a... Around 700 games on the top tier membership, but $155 a year seems hefty. That's almost as much as a movie …
The people who most often claim to be underpaid always say that they are of immeasurable importance to society and they work so hard and make such a significant impact in the world. If they really …
So if you get caught parking against the rules of a shopping centre or some other private business, they usually leave those bogus "fines" on your car demanding payment. Of course, everyone …
Not sure how long this has been a thing. It says it's a new government requirement in Australia that they need to verify who you are before you can accept payments, which I find a load of shit. …
This is currently a hot issue in the US in lieu of the incorrectly named "dont say gay bill", also known as the Parental Rights Act which prohibits discussion of sexual credos to young …
This is always a hot topic in Australia. We have such generous healthcare yet people still complain that they have to pay out of pocket for dental work. While the prospect of having perfect teeth …
2 days with it so far and it's giving me nightmares. It's just so buggy and flimsy. No disconnecting/crashing issues thankfully but navigating through menus, changing classes, checking …
Just got my console today after months of putting it off. Found it for a good price and I was always going to get one after getting almost a decade of use out of my Ps4. No complaints about the …
Cafes and restaurants don't have it. Airlines don't have it. Most cafeterias or canteens don't have it. Hospitals - lol. Vending machines - never seen it. I can understand places …
Since most parents rely on childcare subsidies, I guess the question could also be "why are WE (the taxpayer) paying for childcare even though it's not currently needed?" This has me …
I have a travel exemption and will be flying out to Europe next month, however I still haven't booked a flight yet as I'm still looking for the best price/route. Qatar Airways is very good …
I think I asked this question a few months ago and most people agreed it wasn't really worth the hassle and investment given the limited run of games. Has anything changed? Stock availability …

With only the government's business partners allowed to operate at the moment, seems like the only option to buy games is online. I know most eBay retailers are still running but not sure if …
After the announcement yesterday that masks are compulsory in all indoor places, my company sent us all home. They offered to hand out masks to all 600 employees but there was a lot of resistance …
Some recent research I conducted led me to this: I'm always sceptical of survey data but I've checked others and most of them have similar statistics. Eg, family with 2 kids spends an …
Do any companies still do a 4-week notice period or is it standard to just be paid out and escorted off-site right away? I've seen both big and small businesses go for the quick route of canning …
Seems like every Aussie bank has gone hardcore over the last decade with social justice/political bragging. It's becoming tiresome seeing them pretend to care about every vocal cause that gets …
I have a few large spots of alopecia on my face, might of been due to various issues with my skin as a teenager. Most of my facial hair is pretty thin anyway so I'm considering a transplant to …
I know there is an issue in Australia with so many foreign telemarketing ploys and scams going around, but how are these people/bots getting my number? I was receiving up to 3 calls a day on my last …
I watch a lot of car industry videos from the US and the sentiment seems to be that most people despise the car buying process, mostly because of scummy dealers and salesmen. I've always felt …
I've visited every so-called "hand car wash" and have instantly driven away after seeing how they're run. It's just a bunch of students being paid to scrub a car with a …
I had a falling out with my regular artist who I've always trusted so I need a new place to finish off my progress tattoo. Main thing I've always been concerned about is hygiene and safety …
I've been working on a plan to ask for a salary renegotiation from my employer. The thing is, I literally have no idea how this works at my company. There are no open platforms where this can be …
I've had more health problems than I can count but thankfully Australia's public healthcare system is pretty good, even with so many people abusing it (seeing the ER even though it's …
I've personally 3 accidents in my lifetime caused by sudden changes to the speed on a highway, 2 of them came in the last few years since they released the new law that requires you to slow down …
Was initially really keen on the Ps5 but the more I think of it, I don't really need it. I still have a healthy backlog of Ps4 games to play and it looks like a lot of new releases will be …
Has anyone else noticed this recently or has it always been common? It's like security is too busy enforcing all the COVID runaround regulations so they haven't bothered enforcing …
Looking for some very general financial advice here as I haven't had time to speak to a tax man yet. Basically I work full time on a salary ($80k). I get paid every fortnight with about $700 in …
Is there a legal precedent to this? How is a major airline allowed to take it upon themselves to mandate medical decisions on behalf of the public? By comparison, would it be acceptable for …
The old trick back in the day was to increase premiums by an inconspicuous amount like $12. Over thousands of policyholders that could add up to a lot of free money. But I swear insurers aren't …
As someone with poor health who's prone to unexpected trips to the ER quite often, I've always noticed that there are way too many people who are not in an emergency. Most are there because …
just came across this on STAN a few days ago and I can't believe I never heard of it. It's probably the funniest, most realistic and firmly prodding satire I've ever seen. Have I been …
So after going to renew my rego, thinking that the $6,230 I spent on tolls last year would net me the Toll Relief and get me a free rego, I left disssapointed. Turns out that you're only …
Even after thise whole pandemic is over, is everyone really going to ignore how many positive learning experiences we gained from it? We have basically proven to ourselves that working remotely is a …
Does anyone else with this phone notice the same problem? For some reason I can't use any external headphones or earbuds. I tried using earphones from my old Huawei, and even though it fits into …
I just completed Bloodborne in like 6 days. I'm already up to my 17th playthrough of Dark Souls 3. I need a new time waster. Preferably something I can play with random online. How's the …
I'm sorry, but I have to vent here. I probably deserve the dose of stupidity I've experienced the last couple of days because it's my fault for spending so much time reading social …
