Last Notes npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Cishet white dudes are fucking the worst. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius that hurt to read npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius did you see Woz's? https://www.fastcompany.com/91545731/this-sentence-about-ai-got-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-applause-not-boos-for-his-commencement-speech npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Why is our PM so fucking dumb? Nobody wants American beef in Australia. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius This is why we need hunting. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hehehe, thanks. Not intending on doing so, just all incidental exercise from living in a walkable suburb npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius My son was refusing to put jeans on for my ex's birthday dinner. He claimed they were too big, but really were just a little big. So I showed him my pants were from when I was a heavier. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius thanks. Next week, my ex's is today 😆 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius This time of year the kids get a laugh about how for a week my ex and I are the same age npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius This is an atrociously bad article, that I can only put down to the ABC refusing to use direct Al Jazeera reporting. Not only do they not mention the Israeli drones telling people to go to the GHF kill zone, they don't mention that there are eye witness accounts of Israeli soldiers shooting at civilians, and ABC even attempt to suggest it's Hamas. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Trying Made with Lau's salt and pepper pork chop recipe tonight: npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius yeh, but you know people and their prejudices npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Seeing as it's #Pride Month: npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hahaha, you say that like I have a doctor. Appointments are like 3 weeks out for any doctor around here npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius cognitive behavioural therapy. Basically training yourself to not get caught in bad behavioural cycles npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius before my dad died, we used to spend so much time deconstructing CBT, as it's the first tool we were both offered by every mental health "professional". It's lazy shit, and while it can "work" for some people, it's kind of damaging on the whole npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I had a great guy like that at CoHealth, but he was on rotation, so went away. If you've got a stable doctor like that, hang the fuck on to them npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I feel that hard. I had a fucking psychologist tell me because I can play computer games for like 12 hours on end, I can't be ADHD and that self-diagnosis is a coping mechanism with my bad behaviours that can all be cured with CBT 🙃 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius "never subscribed to be a part of a narrative that pits two women against each other especially in the same industry" npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Being pro-Zionist is no different to be pro-British East India Company; giving any aid or support to Israel is akin to giving aid to The Raj. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius yeh, it's a lot of work, but the kids love it (as do I). npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I swear, pandan is such an intoxicating intangible flavour and aroma. Anyone who knows it, knows it, everyone else has to try it because it's so indescribable. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Making Hainanese chicken rice for dinner tonight, because I can. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius and that is why I bought my daughter a decent set of gaming headphones 😄 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius that sucks, poached eggs are awesome. My ex is going through perimenopause and it's messing with her hard, but the more she reads, the more she realises there's so little understood about the changes. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Uhoh, another parent misgendered my daughter this morning and felt really bad about it, so spent the whole walk to school talking about how cool her hair is and how it's "really Fitzroy" npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius there's heaps here in Fitzroy. Depending on the night, Beermash, Labour in Vain, Wheat, Wine, & Whisky, The Albion Hotel. Basically have a wander around Fitzroy 😁 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Before the Nazis deported and murdered Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, they starved them, withheld medicine, and trapped them in the ghettos. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius every time his name comes up as leader, Pinchy gets itchy npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oh, you don't know? npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oh, I do hope he runs for an old blue belt seat and gets dick slammed in a door npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius look, it sucks, but what a time for Timmeh to be back! He probably expects to become leader npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius that said, if I was a woman in the party I would not take over the leadership right now npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius as I keep saying, they don't have a women problem, they have a misogyny problem, and that's impossible to fix. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius The Libs going on about how women quotas are "illiberal" is the biggest load of horseshit I've heard in my life. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius aaah, yeh, we get them for free, too. Usually catering things donated npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius interesting data. I'm guessing $3.50 is normal for the old democracy sausage these days npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius vastly different outcomes because of our voting system npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Sometimes I don't think the world gets what elections are like in Australia. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oh, for sure, but I'm just talking about the whole spectacle. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I know for most people election day is a day we have to have, but I love it. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius honestly, just the loss in work would be in the tens of millions already. Add in management of the disaster, cost to clean up, cost to reroute trucks for days as they make it safe for double-Bs, etc. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I suppose the most predictable thing every election is the amount of people who scream "I'm apolitical" or "I'm not interested in politics" for 3 years, then act like they've been blindsided by policies and rhetoric. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Am I a bad parent? npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius nope, it's accepted American English 😖 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius unfortunately, it's another Americanisation of English. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I've never been a huge fan of his style (just a personal choice), but I respect his dedication to the story, and I still watch his documentaries npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I'd never heard of the bakery, but it sounds similar to Lune and the like: rich kids with extensive training charging a fortune for baked goods. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius it sucks, because Nagi is totally not in it for the money. If she was "in it for the money", she'd have stayed a bloody investment banker npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I'm with Nagi on this one, all Brooke had to do was ask. Chefs, cooks, and writers, all love promoting each other, and we get that no one owns a recipe. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I've had 0 of any, all go to the spam folder😁 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius You can tell who has iPhones at this stage. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I FUCKING TOLD YOU! npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Up early enough for a dawn service, but there's no way I'll go. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I was telling the dentist yesterday that I can't handle sharp pain, but after ~20 years of chronic pain, throbs below a 5 aren't even noticeable for me. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius the whole concept really pisses me off. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Well, that was a fun day. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I still remember the time that Newcastle got invaded with those things because they were blown off course or something. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius it has to be one of the worst (if not the single worst) interview in Australian political history npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Oh god, I am watching that O'Niel-Sukkar 730 debate and it's real bad. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius dude, I smoke stupid amounts of weed, I'm about to go buy another 20g of the most wicked flower around from my chemist. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Schwinn not Schwalbe? 😱 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Yeh, most people are 'blindsided' by fabricated reports of something that's not happening, ever. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius he lies so much he doesn't even realise it, and everyone is seeing it on the campaign trail npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Dutton yesterday: Look how my kids can't afford to buy a house!!!!! npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Aussies joining the Fediverse for the election: 🥳 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius drives me nuts. There's certain lines that are insanely popular, and they just delete them npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius same as the Mild Enthusiast. I took it in, and the dude was "what is this?" 😖 😆 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I always carry a bag. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I'm starting to think that my time sitting in the pub would be best served by writing down thoughts to outline a book. I know I have one in me, at least, it's just been so long since I've written at large. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I'm just about done with Jewish groups and Zionists spewing this bullshit. Supporting Palestine is not supporting Hamas, nor is it antisemitism. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius reminds me of the annexation of the Sudetenland npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I swear the only time Jehovah’s Witnesses door knock in Australia is at election time. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius it's an awesome aussieism 😄 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius that's funny, in the mid-2000's I saw them, and Hurt was the best. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Lesson 1 in electioneering: shake hands, kiss babies, high five kids, but do not kick footballs. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius not sure what's the hardest part: that we know how it all turns out, or that they were warned repeatedly from people in Europe npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Maybe it's just a filter problem, as you said the youngin had played with things. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I sincerely believe he will. His hitching to Trump, and the razor thin margin his seat is on, I'm kind of expecting them calling his seat early npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius My late night really early election prediction, from the top (end): npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius probably turned off replies in the app's notification tab, will be in some nested menu. I hope you find this! 😂 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I'm going to @ you because 4 year olds are awesome and break everything npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Glenroy Bakehouse is excellent and authentic, there's good ones in Fitzroy are good (Sunny's, Sunshine, N.Lee), and North Richmond is good if you can bear the junkies. Footscray is ok, but Nhu Lan is a line up for disappointment. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hehehe, yeh, I hear liking small form factors, but I cut my teeth building computers in a small shop in the 90's, so I really appreciate larger cases. I have great respect for LianLi cases, purely because they were never sharp and always roomy 😆 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oof, that's a tight squeeze. I don't think I could ever go back to microATX after getting my current full ATX board npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius So, Bangkok is pretty fucked up now, not in small part because its built on a swamp. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I fear they're "waiting for a sign", which is pretty much how things go down when you have an already pliant population. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius no it's not. The canary in the coal mine were the minorities screaming that Trump was a fascist when he came down the escalator. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius that's the worst thing, it's really $17.1b in two years, not over 3, which is what the "$24b" increase to JobSeeker is calculated at. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius he's smug because of what he did, and it's not for people. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius yep, refresh the page, they're there. Could be something broken at bne.social? npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius interesting. Mine always seem to load. Not first time, but after refresh they're there npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hahaha, it's why I play milsims and not Call of Duty or Fortnite. Can't keep up these days. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hahaha, nah, I use Nvidia's overlay controls. Feels a bit cheaty at times though 😂 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oof, yeh, night vision is going for me, too. I actually notice it most in games 😆 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius I hear ya. I'm at the "take my glasses off to read things" age 😖 npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius oh, no feeding people is a vital part of Sikhism. It's part of balancing the fierce warrior aspects of the religion, I suspect npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius need a companion one with "nice boobies" npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius Americans, you're going to hear some really hurtful shit about your country from people you didn't expect it, over the next few weeks/months/years. npub14e4sy4rsvhrn4welmawk0adsj3azhkfy9z8jmjrsqs3trcf4ws0q8ra6uv sortius hehehe, maybe that's the problem. We have total sociopaths in politics who really don't care what people say about them.
