Huh? No we haven't? Just put AUD next to the dollar amount.

Initialism.
Taxpayer funded it's certainly on the nose. But I don't have an issue with a skilled writer being paid that much. I know a hell of a lot of people earning similar who don't possess that kind of skill in anything they do. Creatives should be paid well.
I set myself a calendar reminder to play this in a few years. I'm hoping I'll have forgotten most things.
Mayonnaise people 😅
I'm torn between curating what I subscribe to here to eliminate overly negative things, with wanting to stay in the know specific industry topics and about important world events.
Unfortunately most of the important world events are negative. And my industry is a disgusting race to the bottom of the consumer exploitation barrel.
So on some days I just try to not open specific types of posts if I know it's just going to get me down. I stick to memes and comics on those days
I think a lot of sweet things taste awful. But that doesn't mean I watch people drinking Coke and can't understand why they like it.
That's because taste is subjective. I only drink things I like. Do you really think people, other than teenagers experimenting, are drinking things they don't like?
And getting black out drunk, again young people aside, is not the aim.
I think you might be a bit sheltered. Not liking alcohol or drinking is fine and normal and should be encouraged for health reasons, but you've made some big assumptions about people.
Same. I like fixing broken things. Also, if a handle breaks off a mug it becomes a pen holder etc. We're drowning in our own rubbish so I don't understand making more being fun?
Like seeing food fights in movies (which I think is the only place this ever happens), it just looks like wasteful stupidity to me.
Now you've ruined their weekend plans
Also I'm just giggling at the kind advice you've given just in case anyone was considering snorkeling in a vat of human excrement.
I still get super upset when all the hobbits are so distraught after Gandalf falls. 'get them up'
I'm unnaturally good at flat pack furniture assembly. And I know how pathetic a brag that is, given it's a set of instructions and equipment. But everyone I know complains about it. I genuinely like it.
I set out all the materials and count them against the inventory to make sure they're all there. Then I follow the instructions.
Whenever I've helped someone else do it, they start trying to figure out what attaches to what in the abstract, they tear open bags of bolts as they go and grab the one that looks right only to realise later that it's 2mm shorter than the one they're meant to use.
I don't get it. It's a recipe with all the ingredients provided. Prep the ingredients, cook following instructions.
My partner, who falls into the category of just trying to guess things, is pretty much banned from assisting me until there's a bit where another human is necessary. But even then I'll make do using leverage from furniture if I can.
And that's my super long comment about how I'm good at something that's remarkably easy, because it's designed to be easy, but everyone wants to make it hard and then fight about it.
Also, here's a great song with a relevant clip:
Why would you be friends with such an individual
