  It’s my irl bday today.

  To celebrate I’m going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P’s are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.

  Little one bought home her fathers day gift which was a thing ‘all about her dad’ and she has successfully made me sound like I’m an alcoholic.

  Which is super impressive because I don’t even drink alcohol, lol.

  There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)

  source

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Those people need to own rabbits. Or preferably no animals at all because they lack any sort of clue.

    source

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And if you disagree with them on the viability of vegan diets and cats you’re’emotionally invested in them being wrong’

      Just…dude. Don’t own a fucking cat. Millions do it.

      source
  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s like they don’t care about the fact that cats are obligate carnivores.

    source

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      There’s slews of 'em going ‘but supplements and this single study that mostly looked at dogs said it was ok!!’

      Like…jesus. They’re trying to force an animal to go against its nature to suit their personal preferences and they do not see the hypocrisy. Get a fucking parrot you twonks

  • naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Hi! I’m the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase “obligate carnivore” is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.

    But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)

    source

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      …nah mate. You’re literally putting your desires over the animal’s needs. It’s the same egotistical “animals must serve the desires of man” schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.

      Miss me with that bullshit.

  I have done everything to not have to buy disposable vaped, but the run around and scams with the doctors and pharmacies is an absolute scam.

  First you have to pay 90ish bucks for a script, which only allows you to use it at the chemist they are linked to. So every doctor has basically started their own little chemist to dispense the products.

  And so if they happen to run out of stock, we’ll, you need to pay for another script so you can access the product at another pharmacy/store.

  Meanwhile, I’ve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in years. And that’s not hyperbole.

  Everyone is buying disposables, because the system that the government set up is an absolute sham.

  So now I’m risking buying stuff from overseas that might get seized at border control, because the disposables are really fucking bad for you. They affect your breathing in a negative way almost instantly.

  I’ve tried the patches, the inhaler, even the medicine. It didn’t work for me, because it’s really hard to quit something you’ve been taking for over 20 years on a daily basis.

  Well done federal government.

    YEP. and people walking through crowds smoking. Or taking it out and having it in your mouth (unlit) waiting for the train doors to open so you can spark up immediately.

    source

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      See that’s weird. I have never rolled on the train, nor had one ready when I exit lol. How stressed by the train are these dudes?

    Meanwhile, I’ve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in years. And that’s not hyperbole.

    I’ve also noticed this, as a smoker, that there are waaaaay more people smoking than previously. Young people too, when before it was just older guys usually (and the two old ladies outside the massage and tarot reading joint 😂)

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Exactly! And kids are getting ciggies from the same places that sell disposable vapes! They’re usually cheap black market smokes from China

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    do the patches, do more of them if you must but please stay away from disposables.

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thankfully my order from the pharmacy came today and I didn’t have to resort to disposables. I honestly can’t believe how bad they are for my lungs. Literally 1 puff and my chest feels heavy. Teens would have been better off using refillable devices than the disposables.

      Theres shops everywhere selling them. I don’t see anyone stopping them.

      This fucking government has been such a let down.

  Biscuits done.

  Tray of shortbread biscuits

  The chilling time before rolling out was a bit too long I think, the dough was a bit too hard initially. The embossed roller worked fairly well, but I could probably use some practice to get it a bit more even. I also played around with a bunch of different cutters so have a variety of biscuit shapes and sizes - I’ll pick the nicest looking to take to work tomorrow and the rest will be snacks for me.

  I’m also taking advantage of the oven being hot to make pizza for dinner.

  Operation sort shit is going well. I have been getting rid of stuff and now have empty gaps and nothing that needs to go into them, which as a previously over-cluttered person (aka recovering hoarder) is not something I am used to experiencing. I’m doing lots of labeling today, as well as attaching a bunch of little stick-on drawers to the bottom of some of my shelves to hold smaller bits of stationery and sewing supplies. I really should do an op shop run too, the collection of stuff to go is getting quite large.
