Bloody hell, in this weather?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Pick the worst days and jump in :)

Devoured a book in one day like I used to as a kid. So thatâs cool.
Downside is it was Iâm Glad My Mom Died and I related concerning amounts with it. Need to process that, I guess. Good book.
Also Iâm an absolute fiend for burritos lately. I want nothing more than to order one but Iâve already had like⊠Three fast food burritos over the last 5 days and thatâs not sustainable.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It was a good book but gee it was hard to listen to (audio book).
Aradina@lemmy.ml âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah. I had to put it down a few times and digest what I was reading. Itâs a difficult read too.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I fried my brain and triggered myself into orbit reading *The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk, about C/PTSD and how our bodies physically store trauma. 10/10, but damn one better be in a good, scientific frame of mind because the case studies are heavy.
Iâve been meaning to read Iâm Glad My Mom Died, how did you find it? (Besides the subject matter, of course).
Aradina@lemmy.ml âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Incredible book. Her writing is punchy and captivating. Almost hypnotic how it kept me interested.
Iâll put that on my list of things to look at. I just got an ereader and have lots of reading to catch up!
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Forgot there was wet washing in the machine still, so back to the Laundromat lol. All washed and dried and back home, took about an hour. Got a cheeky arvo coffee and had a wander around between Victoria St and Hope St.
I almost donât want to fix the washing machine, itâs nice having this date time with my SO. No phones or anything, just hanging out.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve been cleaning out our storage unit and every time we go there my OH jokes thatâs itâs a âdateâ.
How did you go with the wet carpet? Hope the landlord was helpful with all of that.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They havenât said anything about it or nothing. Iâm drying it out and then I can assess any damage. Itâs drying okay. Just concerned that it has warped the skirting board a bit. Hard to close the bathroom door ugh.
But yeah, radio silence from them, so I think I may have the time to fix it up lol
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Apparently someone tried to assassinate Trump
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I really donât approve of violence for political purposes, but I canât help but feel that the mongrel thoroughly deserves this or something like it. Itâs a pity the shot went wild. Apparently the shooter is dead according to the abc.
The real downside is that heâs going to make political hay out of this - itâs a real gimme for motivating his voter base. Maybe even to saint and martyr status.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If the shot had struck home, he WOULD be a martyr. This is better
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Depending on how this plays out this could also stir up the public over there in not so good ways.
Trumpâs going to ride this out and take it to his advantage sadly, I just hope he doesnât kick the hornetâs nest with his supporters.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I sadly think that just secured a MAGA victory. When I saw the photo of a triumphant Trump leaving the stage whilst fist pumping and bleeding, I thought OMG this is going to send MAGA supporters even deeper blind frenzy hero worship. Project 2025 here we go.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If only there were a baby near by this could have been a Dead Zone moment when Trumpâs evil would be displayed for all to see.

oztrin@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm afraid youâre right.
Also, that blood looked too red for blood that wasnât spurting.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They keep replaying it over and over on the TV. Disappointingly they miss every single time.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Was it staged? That pose at the end đ€ą
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
No.
Itâs very, very hard to aim precisely enough to hit someoneâs ear but not the rest of their head. Thatâs an absurdly precise shot to attempt deliberately.
It canât be a BB gun or something either. They lose velocity really quickly over any sort of distance, so his ear wouldnât go to pieces like that with a BB pellet.
Real gun, real attempt.
Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Can I just say âlolâ? Thatâs my first responseâŠ
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Please please let him die. What a horrible thing to say but man I canât see this all ending well if he lives.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
No. If he dies, itâs war immediately
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Trumpâs wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.
I am not joking but he really is evil
calhoon2005@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Ah shit⊠Thatâs not going to end well
bacon@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
and got his earâŠ
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Jeez this isnât going to end well.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Wow. Shit. Never thought Iâd see that
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The kids have a massive flatbed tonka truck Iâm constantly flipping on its side so it doesnât become my Skateboard To Hospital. It makes me feel like those guys they hire in Singapore to tip over open pots of water after it rains so mosquitoâs donât spread
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The sound of a random toy going off in the middle of the night because itâs low on battery is heart stopping. Thanks furby. Always thought you were possessed.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I swear toys these days are programmed to make a noise after they havenât been touched in a while to try lure the kids back. Iâll be sitting in the loungeroom and a toy the kids were just playing with will suddenly make some noise all on its own
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If you wanted to continue the Singapore theme, you should fine your kids in increasing amounts per infraction⊠$5000 and/or 3 months jail from the third time on.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Maybe Iâll put them to work doing the actual cleaning up like all the old guys in Singapore
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I know its early, but I wish to access the wisdom of the DDT hive mind.
Do I :
-
- Make chicken & leek & potato soup, thus avoiding going outside in this shit weather, and generating leftovers for the forthcoming week, OR
-
- Purchase fish & chips, thus keeping small business afloat and ensuring that fish&chips will be available in the future when I really really need them.
Please be honest.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
-
Get fish and chips for energy to cook
-
Cook the soup and freeze in portions
-
Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
hey - I had fish and chips earlier too!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm making fish n chips tonight!.. that doesnât help you at all. Geez Iâm a dickhead sorry lol.

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think Iâm gonna cry.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
so many hugs
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thanks goonsy. Iâm being a big baby.
Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
You good C?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm good mate. Big task day is all.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oe Noe! What brought this on?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Overwhelmed by the amount of clothes I have.

Anti-gratitude thread.
Only slept around five hours last night and I canât be stuffed meal prepping. But I shall persevere.
wscholermann@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
When cafes are selling bowls of soup is 17 dollars and bowls of porridge is 19 dollars thatâs when you know the country has lost the plot.
Might as well be living in Argentina with this kind of inflation.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I broke a drill bit in some wood and spent 20mins trying to get it out :(
SIL is trying to drive a wedge through the family and Iâm being blamed (this is a story for another day).
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Is this same SIL that gave you such hassles over the wedding???
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Woolies delivery went to my neighbours by mistake, even though both of us have house numbers clearly visible. Then it turns out they forgot several items and crushed the baguette things Miniest wanted for school. These "partner driverx deliveries so hit and miss.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
This weather. No thank you. Return to sender.
Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Not ungrateful, just dreading:
Tomorrow is the start of another week. I only have a couple of things planned tomorrow, but I think itâs going to be a busy week trying to deal with my org and begin to get some things replaced. I should probably also go down to the police station and see if theyâll let me know what the go is and if I can safely start moving things around and throwing out/having repaired the broken stuff
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm sorting through clothes. I have a lot considering I live in pj, yoga pants and long sleeve shirts.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I really canât afford to get sick this week but I kinda hope I am because today was a bit black mindwise and feeling really foggyâŠmanaged to catch up with family and that was nice. Glad I pushed to do that.
bacon@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
washed car
water cold
appendages itchyjust_kitten@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I woke up okay but procrastinated on my phone in bed to the point of a throbbing headache once again. And now Iâm nauseous and feel extremely yuck. Why did I do this to myself? I can barely think now. Iâm sure I wouldâve felt a lot better if I yoinked myself out of bed at 9 and ate and drank like a normal person. Then I saw the news headlines and my immune system probably decided to give up at that point.
I am doing my best not to keep thinking about how sick I am and woe is me. Having some fancy shop bought minestrone soup to try and soothe the system. Need energy to do some meal prepping and then pick someone up from the airport tonight. I can do thisâŠ
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So Richard Simmons died, but Trump lives??
Make it make sense!!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
How is it fair that when I warn the Mrs sheâs feeding the kid too much cheese that Iâm the one that gets puked on?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm watching I want my MTV 80s and thereâs a common theme in all the videos.
Hats.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Some bastard sat in my favourite seat in the break room and now I have to eat my lunch at a different table.đĄ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Today I will be making a loaf of olive bread and refurbishing some antique chairs, not fancy chairs, some solid arm chairs. I bought Japan black for the wood and a load of tapestries to recover the seat.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm trying to imagine how I would feel if someone tried to assassinate me. Iâm stuck on a complete inability to imagine anyone caring enough about what I am doing to make an attempt.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Bleh. I have obligations today. Do not want
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Just had an Uncle Tetsuâs cheesecake tart. Holy shit. Bad idea. It was soooo damn good Iâll have to go back frequently
wscholermann@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I really should have taken my clothes down yesterday when it was still sunny, even if they werenât 100% dry.
Looks like a trip to the Laundromat is likely today unless it decides to stop intermittently showering.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Lovely rainbow over Thornbury this morning.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oh nah. Woke up to the sounds of something scurrying and scratching in the roof. Possums? Rats? We get possums quite regularly but the sound they make is a bit of a thud when they run across the roof, and this sound Is different, like something is inside the roof.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Rainbow pretty

Gratitude thread.
Went to the 1000 steps yesterday. Was good fun. They even had toilets with toilet paper, soap and hand driers.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Night, fam. See you in the morning.
oztrin@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Today was sorting day, since I wanted a clear day to tackle the back room. Didnât quite get the floor cleared but got a through path and more stuff on the shelves (and crap off the shelves).
Also got on a roll this evening and got the DVDs unpacked and shelved. And found the pyrex, so bonus!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Duuuude, you are massively responsible for the country being a shithole. How is this at all incredible?! The incredible thing is it took THIS long for someone to take a shot at either of âem.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Several assassination attempts in USA history - Kennedy, Lincoln and a couple of others whose names escape me. Political violence has been part of the culture from the get go, when the Pilgrm Fathers set up their little isis-lookalike theocracy.
dumblederp@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
IIRC USA President is the most assassinated job.
Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long. I thought the number 2 reason their redneck gun but types give for why they neeeeeed a gun is that they can assassinate their leader if they donât like them. Or maybe itâs number 3. Dealing with trespassers, personally taking down an invading military, and assassinations are what I hear the most often
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So itâs real. I found out through a screenshot of a meme so I wasnât sure

Aradina@lemmy.ml âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I sent this meme to several people who found out via it

Baku@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The meme lords never fail to keep up with the times. I found out about this through a meme too, same go with that twit app becoming a letter and various celebrity deaths. If it wasnât for memes, I donât think Iâd know whatâs happening
