I’m so glad the long no-public holiday period is coming to a close. And to think we used to have to do this until November (and even then only for those within the city… unless they changed Cup Day to be state wide?)

It’s all “Fun and games!” until someone ends up with laxatives in their water bottle.

But you said non-violent. Does it count if the only crime is to the toilet bowl?

Funny (well, annoying, but anyway) how these things always seem to happen in clusters, huh? You’ll get through to the other side, though. Won’t seem like it right now but time’s funny (and annoying) like that.

It’s weird how no matter what in the world changes, hold musak always has a distinct lack of audio quality.

I love those sessions. It’s nourishing for the soul. And the feeling usually lingers (at least it does for me) for a while, unlike a run-of-the-mill session which often just feels like a tune up. Having a session where things just seem to click… yeap, that shit is top notch.

This is a great question! I reckon a little? But I would put it down to a couple of things - one is that I feel Covid’s sudden onset and danger was far better received from a “people need to sort their shit out” perspective. But also I feel like socially-speaking people are more altruistic compared with back then.

Yeah, I’ve had four psychologists in the last seven years, and she’s the one I’ve been with the longest. So it was nice to get some validation in a sense that the work we’re doing has been positive. I just found it funny (as she did in saying it) that she’s like “I want to keep you on” given her profession haha.

God, that was a time wasn’t it - the constant articles about whether it was “Australian to dob a neighbour in”, the side-long glances people would get for clearly using rainwater while everyone else was taking 2-minute showers. Updates on how low the reserves are. Geez… I do not miss that.

My psychologist is cutting her hours down dramatically as she’s moving more into a teaching space. She said she’s keeping only a handful of clients on board and hoped I would be one of those clients.

And here’s me all like… yay?

There are still people in my neighbourhood who have the “grey water in use” signs for their garden. But I don’t know if it’ll get that bad - we have the desalination plant now… just means things will likely more expensive (watch Bunnings run a cartel on buckets now hahah)

I love the David Bowie colab of that song as well.

But yeah… the first what… four, five albums by Placebo are just fucking bangers. Sleeping With Ghosts is still in my top 10 albums of all time, and yet when I listen to that I can’t help but end up listening to Black Market Music or Without You…

It’s that whole thing of “If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all” - but for whatever reason the internet has missed that lesson. And yeah, the post-Covid world is really out of fucks to give when it comest to cunty behaviour.

That’s a helluvalot of banana bread… but given how hungry I am, I’d love to help!

Nah, seems like communication is entirely astray. Maybe go to the best man and confirm with him?

cunts with smartarse answers and yet you can answer in the most mature way

Ugh, you’re so right. And like, if that’s what’s left of Reddit then it’s just going to turn into yet another Twitter alternative. That kind of response flies in the face of what the DT was, as well. So annoying. We used to be there to downvote that type of rhetoric but I guess without the positive community vibe to set the mood the rats are just going to scamper about.

I used to be the opposite - if I were stressed or depressed, I would go ages without eating. Now, though, I feel I have unlocked a new ability or something. I should harness this and enter some kind of eating competition.

Surely you just slide it to a ledge that you can get under and have someone push it so you can have it on your shoulders, yeah? It only has the weight of one small car, or 8,890 bananas. She’ll be right.

Love it. He’s old enough to know exactly what he’s saying and take action.

My work computer had Lemmy blocked until today, so I found it hard to come on here during those moments where I needed a mental break from work. The DT feels like it’s maybe 10% what it used to be and 90% people asking questions into the void. I miss it all being in one neat place, but given Reddit’s slide towards (more) questionable content, I guess I’ll just use this place as my dose of social media and leave it at that?

Tell me about it! I was commenting this morning about how I would love to start work much later and finish later, but even my post-work commitments start early evening. I’m a night owl and found the goth life after realising how much I cherish midnight compared to midday. Why can’t life suit us nocternal lovers?
