  I took about 5 years worth of e-waste to the tip. And then bought myself a cherry pie to celebrate a tiny bit of adulting.

  I look at some children, then I look at their parents and I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance.

  • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.

    We have tests for driver’s licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.

    source

    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Got an aunt who works in childcare, she says the EXACT same thing.

      I’ve got mates who cause of their unresolved issues are fucking up their kids, so they decided to have another kid. Like. um… what?! how about NO guys.

      source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m wary of tests.

      Pretty sure I have family members who would ace the test because they intellectually know the right answers and can express themselves with authority because they are educated.

      But in practice they are not good at all because they have shit personalities.

      And then there would people who are not very literate or well educated who would stink at a test but who are great parents.

      iow, what are we testing and how are we testing?

  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech ‘shut up you cnts’ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment ‘where are the parents’. Well the parents are deadshits who don’t care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We can’t expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for ‘parenting’ are available other than foster care. All you can do is hope that against the odds, as adults they are able to overcome the shitty birth lottery they got, and start a normal life. The ones who succeed are truly amazing.

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The problem is even if they manage to live a normal life, they will be missing things most people have.

      And because of that, they might find it hard to relate to the average person.

      And they don’t have the safety nets either.

• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m coming to a very sobering realisation that my mind really isn’t as capable as it was five years ago, it’s taking a lot more effort to understand academic journal articles and new concepts than it used to. I spend so much energy on maintenance tasks and quelling anxiety, that there isn’t much left for novel/challenging thinking outside of a conversational context

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t have a banging social life or much physical capacity, so I’d always relied on my brains as something to be proud of but even that’s going downhill too :(

      I’d accept it if I was more capable of ripping out 10 metre long retaining walls and growing bushels of vegetables …at this stage in life I feel like I’ve dumbed myself down to a pencil pushing automaton. I guess I can still change that just that it’ll take more effort than imagined.

    of course it’s harder to learn new things as we get older but it’s not from any lack of ability or stamina

    At an older age humans have a vast bank of knowledge and complex world views that explain and unify all the knowledge.

    Each new piece of knowledge had to be tested for correctness and whether it fits in the world view. The world view is also tested to see if it is still the best explanation for all the knowledge acquired. The more knowledge and more complex the world view the more testing.

    It can be tiring.

  Study day, discovered I’ve filled most of my assessments as we’ve been going. I’d forgotten I’d done that. So my homework is already done. Just watching some YT vids of vets showing safe practices to handle various animals, and animal behaviour.

  Hooray survived the 8 day outta date cheese kransky from last night. Flying a bit close to the sun. It did burn the roof of my mouth though but it was delicious so only a small price to pay.

    Lucky duck… I throw everything out once it goes past it’s use by (non refiregrated best befores usually stay until I realise it’s just been sitting there for ages and I’m not going to use it). I’m traumatised from all the food poisonings I seem to suffer a couple of times a year

    I’m so traumatised in fact, that I quite often burn things out of fear they might not be properly cooked. Then I eat at a dodgy place in Footscray market and get food poisoning the next day ☹️

  Okay so I think it was someone in here who recommended Potato Utopia chips and I’ve diligently waited and they’re almost at half price this week… time to try it out tomorrow night I reckon.

      It’s still around, barely: wendysmilkbar.com

      There was still one at Eastland last I checked, as well as Parramatta in Sydney.

      There were also stores in Chirnside Park, Waverley Gardens, and Cranbourne, but I’m not sure if those ones are still open?

  Anyone here been to Basement Comedy Club? I’ve got tickets for there tomorrow night, but do they pack people in like sardines?

  I think I accept that I’m too worried to go - I’m flying to NZ on Sunday and am doing loads of limit my chances of becoming sick before this holiday. So… does anyone want 2 x tickets to Andrew Hamilton (from YeahMad) tomorrow night?

  I had a dream last night that I got lost whilst driving, and didn’t brake hard enough at a red light. Went through the light and there was a beep that sounded like an e-tag.

  Then I had a dream about being surrounded by grapefruits and not being able to get up. I think this is related to the pregnancy and fetal development subject I’m doing at uni.

  Truly thank you, Belsomra.

  The free food market was extra quick today. I told Mr Woof I’d be out for about an hour, but they started a bit early and I drew third place in line so I was back home in 20 mins! As well as the standard mix of fruit & veg I got some sausages and halloumi, plus a loaf of fruit bread.
