    I know I’m not built to have kids, when I see them on the train and feel a visceral disgust for them, their disrespect, and their immature brains. I’m sure they will grow up to be fine, but kids are so disrespectful on PT.

    Kudos to anyone who has raised/is raising kids, but that clusterfuck ain’t for me.

    source
    • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨months⁊ ago

      Controversial take, but I hold so much space for kids in that age range. Being a teen/tween fucking sucks. School (feels at the time like it) sucks. Puberty sucks. Bullying sucks. Coming from a poor family or shitty home dynamic sucks. Not sleeping properly and getting up early for public transport to school sucks.

      So, fuck yeah, do your TikTok dances, listen to music on speakerphone, drink your huge Slurpee, and take up a seat instead of giving it up to an adult that has probably sat on a wheelie chair all day. Just do your best.

        I do agree with this, the world is shit and the kids will cop the brunt of it when we’re dead. I love their silly trends and dances tbh. Have fun in the dark world.

        I think it’s a me problem 100%. On some level possibly resentful(?) because they’re generally in groups of friends, which I lacked. But it’s not their fault, and I know better than to lose my shit when I realise my feelings are my own, and that I’m just making generalisations about persons I don’t know.

      I think I have the same initial reaction due to bullying, with a particular distaste for teenage girls. But I can attest to the fact that not all kids are disrespectful on PT. Last time I went into the CBD on a train I got on at the same time as a group of school boys. I was prepared for noise and rumbunctiousness, but instead got to over hear them earnestly discussing how to determine when the train had reached the appropriate level of crowding that they should stand up and leave their seats for adults to sit down 🤣

        That’s so good. 😂😂😂 That gave me a proper chuckle hahah

        And yeah I think it’s just my initial reaction but my second thought is that they’re fine/most kids are good. I hate when they run in front of me, but also I remember being that age and either not having awareness of my surroundings or feeling particularly rebellious.

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨months⁊ ago

      I feel pretty much the same, despite the fact I’m still a child. There’s honestly a little bit of fear every time a large group gets on my bus/train/tram, and I avoid travelling at school times when at all possible. A group of two dozen 12 years olds vaping and trying to start a brawl on a bus is not fun

      On a similar note, I did not use the school toilets a single time between grades 3 and year 10. Fucking traumatic, and a large part of the reason I seek out unisex/single person toilets with proper walls, or a quieter one with multiple stalls when possible

        School bathrooms were utterly atrocious in the 2000s, and they still are.

        When I was a kid, I intensely disliked being around other kids. School was fucked, the only people i liked were the teachers. The kids didn’t like me either, and I think latched on to any visual oddity to bully me, but I think they knew I was different. Not special or anything, but had experienced trauma in ways they had not, and I was different bc of that.

        It took me 20 years to understand why I hated going to Nan and Pops (mum’s parents. Thanks repressed memories), and bc that trauma happened so young, I knew things other kids didn’t.

        Like I said, I’m not special or superior bc of trauma. But it does change a child. There’s something about traumatised children that is obvious to other kids, but they cannot articulate it.

        Bathrooms are the worst. I want to throw up with anxiety when I have to use the flinders bathrooms. And pub bathrooms scare me as well.

    I have had two friends recently get into accidents where they were going through a roundabout and someone did not give way and slammed out into them - one on a bike and one in a car with family. I really think we are not ok out there, just go carefully and watch out.

      I had two incidents near La Trobe uni on my bike at round abouts years ago. The two problems with them is people need to know how to use them, and they need to look

      source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨months⁊ ago

      I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve nearly had accidents because as you’ve highlighted people don’t give way when they’re meant to.

      I try and be extra careful going into one and also while going around inside.

      I hope that the accidents occurs were not too serious.

Didn’t even follow a recipe, just took some inspiration from a YouTube video and made some changes.

    I don’t have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They’re humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it’s interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.

    This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of “one of the good ones” (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.

    People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she’s in her early-mid 20s.

    It’s just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They’re humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.

    Anyway, I’m all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.

      I am so glad I’m not under the microscope. I wouldn’t survive a day. I was military. I’ve been on the dole!! I have tragedies. I have estranged family who would sell me out for pennies and anger. Oh noes, Mr Seagoon was in the military!! Etc etc etc

      The press is totes into black and white thinking, everyone is either all good or all bad, there is no nuance.

      I think they build up the pedestals just so they can topple them.

      And all for ratings and sales.

      If David wants and needs company that’s his business.

        100% agree. It’s easy to judge people from a distance. Who knows what the reality is?

        No one is perfect. And to pretend otherwise is misguided at best. We are all people, capable of the most and least noble actions.

        Should we take a magnifying glass to anyone’s life, myself included, there would no doubt be plenty to deride them for.

    Today’s protests are hypocritical. Protesting violence with violence? Some of those interviewed seemed to think what they were doing was ok because they believe they have moral superiority and therefore assaulting people attending the expo is ok? Hmm where have I heard that before.

    39 dollar bra may be too good to be true but it’s in my damned size and at 10I I’m sick of dropping multiple hundreds so I’ll take the risk

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨months⁊ ago

      I hate bra shopping, loathe it completely and utterly. The best bra I bought, was back in the early 2010s. I’d gone to to the CBD for a short course, and in my rush I forgot to put a bra on (idk how I swear). I ran to target and the only one in my size (10DD) was this bright red one. And I had it for years, it was perf. Underwrite broke though. Since losing weight, I have no idea what my size is anymore, I use the bond sport bras, that are just elastic fabric.

      I don’t envy you, it’s one of the shittiest things people with boobs have to do; find a fucking bra that will fit and won’t fall apart after a fkn week.
