Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 4

This is where I have changed though. I still watch many/most Carlton games but that's about it. Tune in to the odd other game, 20mins later I usually turn it off. It's just boring.

Used to always watch Friday night games and one or two other a weekend.

This, oh so this. A few years back I’d happily watch 3-7 games a week. Now it’s like the last season of GoT, I have it on because I feel I should. But really not that interested. Happy to get distracted by the phone.

I have footy on as background noise in winter a lot because there are so many games on over the weekend, but I rarely sit down and focus intently on games. It's become more like cricket to me where I'll have it on and then watch when something happens or there's a close finish etc.

Xtreme I thought.

Too many contenders to be sure.

How does Amazon deliver an order the next day and IKEA will take a month to deliver theirs.

IKEA had to pull the product apart before delivering it.

I actually got the Ikea quicker than the Amazon
Amazon was from the US and needed a 14 day isolation

Surprised by Ikea they gave a date and it happened on that date
The trucky goes from Brizzy to Mt Isa and back most weeks

Delivery is just a function of logistics.

Amazon US has a massive network of warehouses and over 1m employees.

If I ordered something that is already in WA I would expect it to arrive sharpish. If it was in over East or overseas different ball game.

Suppose I just looked Amazon have a warehouse 30 mins from me, but still.

The Amazon guy could swing past IKEA and grab my stuff from there too. He’ll literally be with 500 metres of IKEA as he goes past.

Do people really care that much about the national anthem anyway? I never cared for it, never sung it in school etc.

We had to sing it at assembly every Friday in primary school.

Should do it like NZ and have an indigenous part blended in with the rest

When I started school in Melbourne we sang God Save the Queen and swore allegiance to HM, then we went Perf and they said the Lord's Prayer which I'd never heard before in my life until then, you could go barefoot at school there though, it was awesome. Fortunately public schools in Adelaide were secular and republican and I had to endue no such nonsense, had to wear shoes though.

Womens MMA is damn good, put that alongside soocer, surfing and netball just to mention a few.

Womens AFL isn't at a point were I can watch it but maybe it will one day or maybe it wont. Not something I give thought too either way to be honest.

I know I'm massively guilty of throwing threads OT (im sorry), and multi posting (im sorry again), but I swear to ****ing god i do not understand this:

"meh,, this thread is shit. Shut it down, passed its used by date meh meh meh meh meh" <<< read that in an ultra sarcastic tone.


The irony of those posts. Most boring rubbish you'll ever read on BF.

My kids sing the second verse.

Interesting to see how quickly they adapt to the new word or just keep belting out the same old tune.

There’s something about fighting where regardless of standard, a good fight is worth watching, can’t say that for other sports. Even going to the local amateur boxing is a great night for mine.

Women’s MMA took time for me but I do enjoy it now, Weili v JJ was fight of the year for mine. But jeez watching my girl Carano get the shit kicked out of her by Cyborg was difficult viewing back in the day.

 

[Over The Post]

Might be a male thing but WMMA grates a bit with me. Happily watch blokes getting pumbled but feel a little uneasy and uncomfortable watching women at it. Probably the "don't hit girls" conditioning from my past kicking in. This is on the Contender series. The top flight women in main card bouts can be exciting in the "forget the gender its just a great fight" sense, hence your example above.

Never sang God Save The Queen, but the Lord's Prayer (sung, not spoken) was still a thing at my public primary school until maybe 94 or 95.

I've used and seen a few woks in my time, but the best ones are the cheap crappy steel ones that you have to season yourself and only ever wipe. Otherwise you risk Teflon chicken.

Once upon a time there would have been no such thing as a non-stick wok, but the definition has broadened a bit even to include such monstrosities as electric woks.

There's no substitute for that thin seasoned steel. Takes a lot of punishment from the gas, and it has that excellent smoky/cancer taste in everything you make. And doubles as a deep fryer.

It’s actually about even heat distribution

High height , thicker walls

Old pans rule

Things I don't understand or have time for:
woke
cancel culture
virtue signalling
extremism
doublespeak

They can all GAGF.
