Itâs so nice working for a normal company. Internal is such a better deal.
Goodnight everyone â¤ď¸

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.
wscholermann@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
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 â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.
We have tests for driverâs licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Got an aunt who works in childcare, she says the EXACT same thing.
Iâve 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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm 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?
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago

thank you. Weâre doing our best but he is a handful. đ¤Ł
SituationCake@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech âshut up you cntsâ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment âwhere are the parentsâ. Well the parents are deadshits who donât care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We canât expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for âparentingâ 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 â¨2⊠â¨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 donât have the safety nets either.

Iâm coming to a very sobering realisation that my mind really isnât as capable as it was five years ago, itâs 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 isnât much left for novel/challenging thinking outside of a conversational context
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
hi are you me?!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
understand academic journal articles
Iâm not reading the room quite correctly but I just forgot why I went to the fridge⌠twice⌠so I believe in you :)
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I took my washing off the line and took my letterbox key with me.
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât have a banging social life or much physical capacity, so Iâd always relied on my brains as something to be proud of but even thatâs going downhill too :(
Iâd accept it if I was more capable of ripping out 10 metre long retaining walls and growing bushels of vegetables âŚat this stage in life I feel like Iâve dumbed myself down to a pencil pushing automaton. I guess I can still change that just that itâll take more effort than imagined.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I tried to put my dirty plate in the fridge instead of the dishwasher.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
of course itâs harder to learn new things as we get older but itâs 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.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I hear you. Just concentrating on staying on top of stuff is exhausting
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I thought some life admin would become less taxing with experience and age, but I find that they seem to take on more of a mental load and not just from the post viral fatigue.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Trauma and covid will do that. Donât blame yourself, itâs got us all

A packet of twisties is forthcoming to my stomach. A mighty fine appetiser lol

Study day, discovered Iâve filled most of my assessments as weâve been going. Iâd forgotten Iâd 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.
Every day I am grateful to be doing this for myself.
Eagle@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wish I was that organised! Although I have done more than I thought but it still is like pulling teeth.
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm not perfect lol, we do what we can! Getting any task done is an achievement worthy of praise, no matter how big or small!!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Well done! Itâs a huge step that will pay off in spades â¤ď¸
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Better than I was when I was in highschool lol, prolly because Iâm not trapped in a classroom or ferals ha!
Thank you! Iâll keep it up so I donât fall behind! More time to chill on my days off heheh
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs a gold medal performance, well done!

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.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Lucky duck⌠I throw everything out once it goes past itâs use by (non refiregrated best befores usually stay until I realise itâs just been sitting there for ages and Iâm not going to use it). Iâm traumatised from all the food poisonings I seem to suffer a couple of times a year
Iâm 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 âšď¸
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Okay so I think it was someone in here who recommended Potato Utopia chips and Iâve diligently waited and theyâre almost at half price this week⌠time to try it out tomorrow night I reckon.
Baku@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I really want a hot dog for some reason. Not even a nice one. I just want whatever low tier fake processed rejected scrap meat cylinder things they have at Wendyâs
TinyBreak@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
does wendyâs still exist?
AJSadauskas@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs 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 Iâm not sure if those ones are still open?

such a beautiful day, seems a shame to stay inside so Iâll go for a walk in the park. :)
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Anyone here been to Basement Comedy Club? Iâve got tickets for there tomorrow night, but do they pack people in like sardines?
I think I accept that Iâm too worried to go - Iâm 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?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
I had a dream last night that I got lost whilst driving, and didnât 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 Iâm doing at uni.
Truly thank you, Belsomra.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Flat clean. Now to make a mess

Another day another data compromise. This time itâs the Shebah ride share. At this point any business using name address and dob to verify a person is not good enough security.

Nothing but keyboard clicks and a loudly ticking clock. This office is so depressing.

I keep seeing videos of a crazy lady snoot bopping big cats
I know theyâre gigantic danger cats that will kill you for fun, but I canât see them as anything except oversized stray kitty cats. They have NO BUSINESS being as cute as they are. They even do the slow blinks! And purrs!!! Itâs kind of fucked up that something that looks that huggable and petable is also so murderous (or at least, murder capable)
Alamutjones@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Tucking myself into bed to watch Gladiator. I havenât seen this in years

I really like the way all the climbers from different countries stand at the bottom of the lead wall talking to each other and swapping notes on how to tackle it.

Bit of an odd one tonight for dinner. Zucchini slice and banana bread with custard.
It does feel good to use up dodgy fruit and veg though.

The free food market was extra quick today. I told Mr Woof Iâd 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.

Aw P. Sorry to see this :/
Are you feeling alright?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thankyou and I feel disgustingly healthy lol no symptoms at all. I almost feel ripped off in a way.
