1. The biggest problem is that its a needlessly gendered term..

  2. You summed it up well here. It's not that behaviour can be 'toxic', the problem is the gendered language and the consequent implication that there is something pathological about being male.

  3. They need someone to be their antagonist. If it wasn't Peterson they'd find someone else.

  4. For a guy, definitely early to mid 30s. Old enough to be mature and taken seriously. But not old enough to have age related physical problems.

  5. I'm jealous of the friendships my friends have with each other. I've never felt as close to them as they do with each other. And as a 40 year old man, I would feel childish admitting this. I just feel like an outsider sometimes, and just wish I had the same kind of bond they do

  6. What are the chances each of your friends feels exactly the same way?

  7. Adelaide seems to have changed since I lived there in the early 1990s, Great cafe/pub culture then.

  8. Waiting for the day that women on trains understand that their bags don't need their own seat.

  9. This is simply defining misogyny and misandry in those terms. It's a completely circular argument. If you go by the dictionary definitions of those terms. such a conclusion is not justified. It's an exercise in wordplay, nothing more.

  10. Looks fine to me. And I've been vinyling since I was a kid in the 60s.

  11. Mint Lettera 22 typewriter for $25. Had been looked after and looked like new. Even had all the accessories in the case including the card showing purchase date and place in Sydney in 1962.

  12. If I was a Christian I'd most likely end up in another religion's hell. And a member of that religion would end up in the Christian hell. That's how it works, right?

  13. As a former teen boy, I totally second this. The phrase "clueless idiots" comes to my mind.

  14. Even Herb Albert is too good for the thrift shops where I live. I used to check them all the time, but almost never walked out with anything. I stopped checking them more than a year ago.

  15. Herb Alpert is ok. Not bottom of the barrell stuff which is the usual thrift store fare here in Sydney

  16. Short answer....yes, there are regional differences but not as great as the differences in US regional accents and nowhere near as great as UK regional accents. The regional differences tend to be limited specific vowels, such as the way South Australians say "dance" as compared to the rest of us, normal, Australians. TBH, most Australians sound pretty much the same. Hell, even New Zealanders sound sort of the same. That is, until they try to say "fish and chips", which comes out as "fsh and chps". The real differences come not by region but by social class. So, people in the poorer parts of Sydney or in the country will speak more like Steve Irwin and those in the affluent parts of Sydney will try to sound more English.

  17. Sometimes they "update" the mix for a modern audience. This can means changing the balance of instruments and vocals and EQ. If you want to hear music as the artists originally intended, probably try to find an original vinyl somewhere.

  18. She's cheating on you. It's the old "he's just a friend" scenario. Ditch her now and don't (repeat, don't) look back. You'll feel horrible and probably actually physically ill for a while, believe me I've been there. But don't waste another second on her. Vent your awful feelings her way by telling her to go to hell. In those words, or more. You'll be glad you did,

  19. Nice. Squires are great guitars. The single humbucker is all you need.
