tho i feel guilty taking it easy today. That’s the thing when yer a “housewife”, you never get a day off ever , even when crippled with sciatica i still looked after the cats
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Day off, feeling shitty but also bored AF. Brains not working well enough to play games. Got some other suggestions to keep me occupied?

Mystery Science Theatre stream on YouTube. It’s great background noise or a low effort watch

Why does everyone here have to dump shit on the US all the time? (and never any other countries)
At least you’re punching up and not down so that’s admirable I guess.
StudChud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Because the US is literally one of the most powerful nations and militaries on Earth, and they have a rapist, treasonous, failed businessman as a president. During a time when Russia has decided to stretch itself into a facsimile of it’s Roman Empire inspiration of conquer and assimilate, Israel and Palestine are going at it really fucking hard, and they all (besides Palestine) have nuclear weapons.
Yeah, I think we’re allowed to be vocally critical of them.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Not one of. The US is the richest and most militarily powerful country in history. They have so many natural resources and such good human resources they can afford to make many mistakes and not really lose any ability or potential.
The EU comes in second.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I would think that question is fairly easy to answer

Because when the US sneezes we get the flu.
What the US does, or doesn't do, directly impacts out lives.They lead the charge and we play lapdog. AUKUS has a very real chance of failing now and we might be subject to sanctions and a trade war.
They are the ones making abortion and trans rights an issue, they are screwing up the lives of Australians.
Why do we dump shit on the US? It's warranted. We don't get a vote in their processes but we suffer the consequences.

we have the choice to ignore them and follow our own issues
Baku@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I do it mostly because I’m a petty bastard, and tend to treat people how I feel they treat me. My experience with most people (in an online form) from the US is that they have such a horrendous habit of US defaulting and a ridiculous superiority complex. Also a bit of tall poppy syndrome happening there
They’re also basically the very manifestation of capitalism, greed, selfishness, and monopolistic practices, and COVID/gun control issues very much proved that an uncomfortably large portion of their population has zero care or concern for anything resembling the common good, or public benefit. And whilst I realise we have these issues here, too, they’re a lot more pronounced in the US (although I will grant that’s probably because they also have an exponentially higher population than we do).
And countries are more or less just the sum of their people, particularly in a democracy, no matter how flawed
(FWIW, I hang pretty much an equal amount of shit on Australia, too, when our pollies make decisions I strongly disagree with, or that don’t align with my moral compass. I think a part of my dislike probably comes from a fear that if left unchecked, we’ll basically end up being mini America, which I think we’re already on the path to becoming)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Fuck 'em, and everyone else don’t care which country or their horses that they rode in on including everybody without horses I don’t discriminate unless it’s a miniature horse (bit of a soft spot for those little guys).

Pilk@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Are you originally from the United States?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
The press here has been anti usa ever since founding in the early 18th C. It’s so we don’t get ideas about freedom and revolution and breaking ties with the UK. Also why they banned guns in the 1850s, don’t want a repeat of the Eureka Stockade and more, eh.
Interestingly, accepted public opinion is that the England is ok and America is awful but in real life Aussies don’t like English people and do like Americans. ( generally speaking )

I popped up to Northland at about 2 because I needed a couple of things. I expected it to be dead as usual on a weekday arvo. It was total bedlam. I guess a combo of the sales and the heat, neither of which had really registered with me.
I survived, but I’ll be trying not to enter a shopping centre again between now and at least mid-Jan.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 months ago
On days like this I used to tell my kid it was an “all you can eat zooper doopers” day. 🙂

It’s a huge game in many respects

I’m being very unproductive at work today.
Apart from feeling under the weather got hooked playing the Google moon phase game for awhile.

Fried/steamed dumplings please - any flavour - with a large kombucha to go with. I have a neeeeeeed for dumplings.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I ate a few rice crackers and my mouth started burning… ? Alrighty then.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Those little pumpkins look especially adorbs and will be fast too. You have to show us pictures when they are ready. 🎃
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I hope they go ok… pumpkins are apparently prone to mildew and attract pests. And I’m worried the pots are too small.
I was going to get Small Sugar pumpkins but checked the size of the fruit and it’s lucky that I did. Those are smaller than standard but 18cm/2kg would be a bit heavy for vertical growing.
I picked the Jack Be Little variety that seemed like they’d grow to the size of my fist and will support them if I have to. I considered the tiniest ones, Baby Boo, but while edible their description didn’t say they were good eating.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Not Covid or the flu, so that’s good. Still feels a bit like I been run over by a truck but hopefully day 3 it’ll break.
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I’m going in day 6 with this thing I have.
Still don’t really know what it is but I hope it clears up soon.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh god don’t tell me that! Hoping for a swift end to it.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
hugs, rest and drink lots of water, there are some nasty colds going around at the moment
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
nyt xword. I’ve read all those books. …lol
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Oh damn. I forgot to do the self watering water containers for the zucchinis.
Guess I’m poking those holes now. I might use the mini bottles because standard ones would take up too much room in the pots.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘😘😘

What’s your specs?
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Yup yup. Maybe your laptop might just squeeze through being able to play it.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I had to look up what BG3 is. It’s been mentioned a bit.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Hot day. Tram has AC . Rough looking guy with backpacks was sleeping in a corner. 😔
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 months ago
after much sleep my arm is now useable and I can stay awake. These vaccinations knock me out which makes me wonder how I would I cope with getting actual covid.
tho I think I may have had covid in the past six months, my memory is shot lately and that’s a symptom of post viral covid.
