Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I’ve not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it’s not hurting you or the community, then go for it.

No particular hat obsession that I’m aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.

All of those things can be avoided by following Australia’s public health messaging that all kids have learnt since the early 90s. It started as Slip, slop, slap.

It’s now:

• Slip (slip on a shirt i.e. Cover your skin in the sun)
• Slop (slop on sunscreen and make sure you reapply)
• Slap (slap on a hat, ideally a wide brimmed sunhat)
• Seek (seek shade - you shouldn’t spend too long in direct sun)
• Slide (slide on some sunnies - protect your eyes).

While the country does periodically catch on fire over here, I love our summers. But to enjoy them, you basically have to remember that you’re made of meat and if left under the grill in the sky, you will cook.

If you’re morbidly obese I can understand summer being very uncomfortable. But for most people, taking simple steps can make even a 40°c day comfortable.

You’re… Yucky

You need to watch black adder

I do a fair bit of freelance and also access a lot of client networks remotely or using their hardware. I have my own licence for ms365 as well on my own hardware.

Teams just doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing. It holds on to old accounts from years ago but doesn’t recall my own, active account. It behaves in the app sometimes but a lot of the time the browser option is the only viable way. It can’t work out that I have a webcam most of the time.

Almost all meetings I have begin with me being 2-3 minutes late and messaging them that teams is being a fuck. And they all laugh knowingly, because everyone literally expects it.

It is the buggiest most unpredictable piece of shit that I have to use almost daily, and almost exclusively with government clients who often have their own weird on prem custom version. I hate it with every atom in my body.

Sportsball is kinda a shit term - you don’t have to like sports and yes society venerates it over far more important achievements/pursuits, but it’s a bit childish to refer to it in that way.

My theory is that a lot of that kind of poor behaviour is generally from men who have grown up with the toxic masculinity traits of believing that sad is bad, angry is manly. I’ve seen people openly weep over the outcomes of a game - I think these people are feeling the same emotions but haven’t been given the societal permission to express it in its true form. So they do angry instead. It’s not acceptable at all but that’s what I think the reason is.

50% paper 🤣 I understand this. My body is a desert.

I’ve never seen it. Was it any good?

Yep, that’s exactly how it works. They’re douchebags but this is how TMs work.

I’ve heard this phenomenon. That us Aussies go over there, especially to the south and are shocked at how cheerful ppl are with their small chat and how you goings as compared to here where we’re less inclined to strike up a conversation with a random.

But then I’ve had American friends explain that it’s all surface. That smiling yank agrees with Trump or reports their neighbours to the HOA for having grass over a centimetre high, or wants to go back to the good old days when the blacks knew their place.

Half the country wants Trump back. Fuck that.

I don’t know why, but I just felt the urge to go have a look at r/conservatives. It’s exactly what you imagine. Dear oh dear

No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn’t you know? He saw it on TV

Be together in my ass

I’ve never tried lucid dreaming. I’m an insomniac so I’m just chuffed if I manage to get any sleep, let alone control my own universe.

But often when I do dream, I die in my dreams. Usually violently - gunshot or blunt instrument sort of deaths that I’m cowering from prior to. So I’m in genuine terror and horror before my death…And I swear, the millisecond before it happens (and I always wake up at the time of death) I feel the pain of it.

It’s pretty fucked, tbh. I’ve lived a peaceful life with very little violence in it, and guns certainly aren’t a thing here. So I don’t know my brain can’t just chill out.

Anyway - it’s why I’m a little frightened to try lucid dreaming. At least in spite of the fear there’s a sense of inevitability about my deaths in these dreams (i.e. my murderer has found me in my hiding place), somehow I feel like it’d be worse if I was trying and failing to fight back, or if I prolonged the inevitable death by trying to outsmart the person? Or could I just shut down that plot completely?

Thanks for the session, do I just pay the receptionist on the way out or will you just invoice me?

Haha wut

Yeah probably in school. Children are children.

Well rounded adults don’t spend their time obsessing over thee size of people’s genitalia.

You’re the only one who mentioned it mate

You started with ‘people’ but now you’re just saying women … Dude
