Things I've gleaned about Australia from SA:

1. Don't take off your shoes or don't wear shoes. (Because spiders, snakes.)

2. Don't sit on the toilet. Better to hover over it. (See above.)

3. Don't stand under trees you don't recognize the species of. (Spiders, snakes, caustic tree juice, stinging leaves, falling nuts.)

4. Don't dawdle near murky water, but I'm used to that one on account of the alligators.

5. Everything is half a second away from exploding into flames. Trees, wildlife, tradie utes.

6. If a man wearing heavy boots, shorts, and a florescent shirt punches you out of nowhere, chill. It's how they say hello.

7. Drive on the left or, you know, whatever.

8. Some of the wild animals are cuddly, said the man with seven fingers in total.

Hey now, after a certain latitude you don't have to worry about the bathrooms because there's always a frog hiding somewhere, having hopefully eaten all the spiders. One time I didn't notice til I flushed and noticed it clinging to the inside of the bowl under the rim.

Who the gently caress wears shoes in the house other than people in scorpion states?

Oh, wait... EVERYONE I'VE MET IN MY THREE-PLUS YEARS LIVING IN SPAIN.


Of all the stereotypes I hate, this one annoys me the most.

Is it even a stereotype that people all around the world have about Americans? I only see it levelled against Americans by Canadians (or other Americans who share the same climate as their northern neighbours). Part of it is a TV/movie thing with characters wearing shoes inside all the time.

Can attest to this, though we're not that keen on hardwood floors (they are mostly tiled or stone here) so maybe that's one of the reasons why?

I have a friend from the Balkans who told me that in her country is considered polite to take your shoes off and wear slippers even when you are visiting other people. I have never ever seen that in Spain and I think it'd be considered rather odd to ask, unless you live in, like, some 18th century mansion with wood flooring or valuable tiling or something.

If you ever want to derail a thread on SA just post "Huh, in [x part of the world] they do [everyday thing] slightly different, I've noticed" and a hundred goons who have had that exact same minor thought will stampede the thread

The discussion flow format on Reddit handles this better than most webforums, I've noticed

AND DON'T loving SEND THIS POST TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET LIKE YOU DID THE LAST TIME.

The last post I opened less than 24 hours ago was somehow shitcanned, but before I did there was a massive positive response about the grunge scene, some of my favourite bands, which are from I guess the "user friendly later stages" of grunge.

What I want to do with this thread is open up some good music fan dialogue. What I know of what 'grunge' is, is of course Nirvana, very early Pearl Jam (I have the alive guy tattooed on my shoulder FFS). Sonic youth.. early (very) Smashing pumpkins... and there was a lot of late 80s bands who I was familiar with and created some very influential music which has helped forward todays music into the right direction.

GAS ME AGAIN. gently caress IT. GO AHEAD. BAN ME EVEN. TRY YOUR LUCK. I'LL RE REGISTER FROM ANOTHER IP. I AM ONLY ASKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GRUNGE MUSIC AND THE CHANGE OF PUNK TO GRUNGE THAT STARTED IN THE US.

In a nutshell, I would like to learn a little more about mid to late 80s music and early 90s music.


For some reason my new pet cat loving LOVES gritty guitar and heavy bass guitar... I took her in from a home who was going to send her to the pound [/sympathy card]... The thing is, she's really discerning. I'm not a crazy pet person, but well... the cat seems to know its poo poo. Early PJ, but not late, early Radiohead, real punk.. (I'm talking 25+yrs old minimum)... she likes the good stuff. The cat is absolutely transfixed.. It's like nothing Ive ever seen before.

Teach me about some good grunge and or punk.

For some reason she doesn't like RATM... but that is a side issue for now.....

Teach me... that is all I ask.. no more, no less. Teach me about the best of what was indie/alternative from 1985-1995.

Just teach me.

edit: queue post going to hell in a handbasket... at least with a great soundtrack

Do you put both socks on and then your shoes, or do you put on one sock + shoe and then the other sock + shoe?

I'm a sock + shoe guy because I'm not going to go to all the effort of lifting each foot up more than once, that's goddamned inefficient.

Yes, but do you remove your shoes from the front or the back?

I cram one tit in each shoe and use 'em like a bra. It's not like I go outside anymore; might as well get some use out of these.

If you arr like me and don't actually plan putting your shoes on in advance this can lead to hobbling down the hall with one leg longer than the other

because shoes have heels, and sometimes you have a 3 inch difference while you look for the other shoe as a result

i usually take my shoes off about 10% - 12.5%, because shoe removal culture's different over here than in the US. i guess if i went to america i'd need to take my shoes off 20% minimum.
