  It’s not just me, the internets really is mostly a negative place . I search for positive things and results slowly turn negative with each iteration. I don’t like what it does to my moods.

  People are going to switch off, I know I am slowly switching off . I don’t read the papers as much as I used to. I see fewer people with their noses in their phone.

  I don’t listen to as many pods as I used to, yt’s are looking bad.

  Reddit is actually pretty good by comparison, if you are careful you will have positive experiences. Lemmy is good too. 🙂

    I find that I get upset easier than normal if I spend enough time reading people’s comments or social media in general.

    This is literally one of 4 websites I visit.

    My understanding is that the tech giants (google, meta etc) are wanting to maximise money from advertising. Content that gets more clicks and comments gets pushed forward. This tends to be things that are sensationalist, divisive, rage bait, etc. And now even the regular news outlets do it, because they want the online engagement. An example might be what used to be a few days of low 30s temps in December, unmentioned outside of weather reports, has morphed into ‘Dangerous heatwave to scorch Melbourne this weekend’. It’s impossible to sift the real from the exaggerated. Negativity sells. I hate it.

    I’ve been feeling the same recently. I try not to critical because I’m guilty of doing all the things I dislike multiple times over, and generally foster a negative atmosphere.

    Honestly I’m feeling much the same as before I left. But it’s probably my fault

      I think it’s becoming a general societal mood. That could be because we have an aging population and older people tend to more negativity, or it could be economic circumstances and internets.

  It’s been years since I’ve had Shapes, but they were $2 per box so I grabbed two lol

    Pizza shapes is best shapes so fight me lol.

    I did score some of the BBQ shapes flavouring satchels a while back when they ran a competition to get some. They aren’t bad either.

  My finger is still very sore, I hope the antibiotics start to help soon. On the positive side I’ve got some time home from work.

  I still have a bunch of plants that need to be planted. I’ve ordered a hole digging attachment for my drill which should make it a bit easier - I gave myself a blister on my palm digging holes as well as the finger issue. I also bent my plastic trowel so have ordered a new sturdy one. I might need to see if my sister can give me a hand with the planting while mine is out of action.

  Cat rambles

  I’m completely physically wrecked (own fault), woke up last night at like 9/10pm, and Melbcat may have another uti. I don’t think I can get help to take her in before her appointment on Friday so I scrubbed the litter trays out (wearing gloves) ready for sample collection.

  Gardening rambles

  I’ve planted everything out but am kind of concerned about the flowers getting enough water because of the tree roots. Come to think of it that could be an issue with my backyard too, even if I could get rid of the invasive grass that came from a neighbour. I’d probably have to use raised beds but don’t want anything here that would be difficult to move.

    Yesterday was a very drying day, even though not all that hot. Today is less windy, so won’t dehydrate the plant so much.

    Are they annual flowers? They can be surprisingly tough. They are built to grow quickly and take advantage of every resource available, put it all into flowering to create the next generation, then die off once things get tough. If you can let them self seed you’ll often find they can get a foothold in quite tough conditions.

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Some of them are. I sowed alyssum and nasturtium and planted some marigold seedlings. I have more of the first two and some sunflowers sown in cups/trays in case the direct sow doesn’t takes

  Gotta get over to the new place early tomorrow to wait around for the deliveries. I decided to take a sponge, kettle, and some dishwashing liquid over with me today so I can wash the new plates and things I got, and put them away. The table says that it’s coming between 8:00-11:30, I’m just hoping it’s the later end of that, because I won’t get there til about 9:30

  Then the dryer is currently saying between 9-5, but they said they’ll give me a 2 hour window in the morning. Hope it’ll fit in the door

  Yep, Melbcat has another uti and that’s why she’s been so off. It wasn’t the shot.

  I was offered the choice of bringing her in for a sample to be taken from her bladder and another culture done which is more ideal, but help isn’t available rn and getting her there alone is very physically demanding at this point so I opted to just grab the broad spectrum antibiotics and start her right now.

  This means a return to grinding up pills, syringing them in water and wrestling her like a croc 😔 And obviously isn’t as good as targeted meds but I’m doing my best.

  Pakige arrived

  Apparently they decided to deliver it 15 minutes after I figured they wouldn’t be coming and shut up shop/closed the gates. Ahmed had zero hesitation in throwing it over the fence. I don’t really mind though. I would’ve been mad as if for the second time they rocked up at the only point during the day I closed the gate

  Zero movement on the rest though. I want to lodge a “what’d you do to my parcel” thing with AP for the 3 that were “in transit” in my suburb last Tuesday, because I have a sneaky suspicion that they’re at the post office and they just forgot to scan them in (something they have forgotten to do a few times before). But their thing kept yelling at me to wait until 10 business days pass, so I guess I’ll do that

  Possibly worth going to the LPO and asking them if they’ve got them somewhere, but they’re really really angry people there. Arrogant as all hell. I don’t want to deal with them if I don’t have to. And apparently they made the decision at the start of the year to cut off their phone line so I couldn’t call either

  I managed to get into a Bank of Melbourne today, and wow they leave me feeling so ambivalent. They keep creating problems, but then are really really lovely and efficient about fixing them?

  I went in and it was very much in and out. No line at all, the dude was lovely, and then he just took my license, and verified me in the span of about 2 minutes.

  I’ve never felt so conflicted about whether a company deserves to be on my shitlist or not. Things will always go wrong, so knowing somebody can fix them politely, respectfully, and efficiently is great! But if that company is the one creating all the problems themselves, do they deserve praise for being willing and able to fix them?

  Perhaps they’re just hypochondriacs that pretend there are problems so people will actually go into their branches lmao

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I actually think people like their problems or do create them.

    For me it’s just a runaway brain making problems.
