In non America/Baku news Iâm drunk and have just completed day two in a row of after-work outings. This one was beers and burger, no complaints. Also my probation review went great, was told unless I majorly fuck up/change behaviours Iâll pass no worries. One more after-work outting to go tomorrow, actually looking forward to it.

Nice view out there as well
Goodnight all â€ïž

I feel like I owe the DT regs an explanation
I didnât delete my account because of the argument. I was in the wrong, regardless of whether or not I used anything that could be considered a personal attack. I was being an arsehole to Seagoon, and StudChud responded in kind to me
However, I have recently been feeling like a couple of people within the DT have been consistently hostile to me. StudChud in particular has gone off on me numerous times. Sometimes I deserved it, other times I donât think I did. Then 2 other people over the last couple of weeks have really really irritated me. There was one particular interaction I had with somebody that really rubbed me the wrong way, honestly probably irrationally so. I feel like I can usually do okay with shrugging off both outright aggression, and hostility in subtext/random downvotes. But I really just reached the end of my tether and it was beginning to remind me of when I was in resi and was the physical and verbal punching bag for 3 other people. I canât stand that
Regarding purging all of my content, I genuinely am sorry to every single person who has contributed to DTs. I wanted to just delete my comments, but Lemmy only has two options when you want to delete your account: delete your account and every single post, comment, and image youâve ever uploaded, or donât delete anything (which I did last time). Lemmy also has a function which really irks me, where if a post is deleted, every single comment becomes inaccessible to non moderators and administrators. I think thatâs ridiculous and tbh think it provides too much power to people that delete their accounts. I would much rather they became inaccessible without a direct link or going through your comment history, like how it works on reddit
Deleting everything wasnât an attack on the community or a way to try and get attention. Genuinely. I also realize in hindsight sight that I made up a pretty substantial amount of posts on aussie.zone, and with all of those gone, it seems like half the instance is gone
And regarding coming back, I donât think I ever can. Deleting oneâs account, and particularly purging all the content on it, is probably the most extreme action you can possibly take as a user. If I just delete everything then reappear a week later, it doesnât mean shit and really just seems like a bid for attention. Iâm not going to do that. Iâll lurk around from another instance, and occasionally if I think I can be uniquely helpful to anybody, Iâll drop in and try to help if I can. But my days as a regular are numbered. Kind of a self exile, if you will. Even now I feel like Iâm being even shittier by writing this, but I feel like I need to clarify what happened and actively apologize to everybody. Iâm deleting my account as soon as this is posted
I also feel the need to say - I probably deserve moderator action, too. I donât think a ban is appropriate since Iâm not going to be around so it doesnât really do much, but my comments towards Seagoon in particular were not acceptable, and I deserved to be called out. After I wrote our my long-winded 2c on recent events, I was already about 70% sure I wanted to delete my account. The magpie post was kind of an attempt to reconcile without accepting I was wrong or my opinion was invalid, not implying that anybody elseâs was. After i got "bruh"d by StudChud, I made my decision I didnât want to stay around, but at the same time, by creating yesterdayâs DT, I feel like I more or less signed and agreement that I would ensure the DT remain accessible for at least the entire day. So thatâs why I waited until midnight to delete my account. The last few comments I made were basically a case of âIâm done with the lot of you, anybody who talks to me can go to hellâ type lash out. Again, unfounded and not fair
If anybody wants to access the DTs, you have a little while to view them from certain other instances. I believe how it works is posts and comments are purged from the server immediately, but the ânotificationâ if you will, to other servers (who also host copies of all comments/posts) is rate limited and sent one by one. I donât know that for fact though. You can access them through another instance (ie sh.itjust.works, as Brion linked) until the deletions eventually do federate over. I wonât be doing anything to speed up the process. I also was previously working on archiving all DTs on to web.archive.org, so have a look there. I didnt do the most recent ones before I left though
And I want to say that I really truly am sorry for all of the chaos, hurt, and drama that I caused. I should have handled things better. @Seagoon_@aussie.zone I donât know if you received my DM or not, and I donât know if DMs disappear on account deletions, but I am really sorry to you especially. I was being an arsehole and extremely inconsiderate. I do truly hope your family and friends in the state are doing okay, and make it through the term safe and arenât denied healthcare or help if they need it
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
good deed done for the day. Someone on reddit wanted a postcard from aus so just got that done. Jesus my writing is appalling.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Are they a collector of postcards or something?
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think so. said they didnt have one from Aus.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I love this.
Postcards are awesome.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
happy to send you one when I go away next if you want.

___ Two years ago, I went to see a psychiatrist for an ADHD assessment. Did some questionnaires, as did my mum, and after a half an hour telehealth consultation, I was told I have ADHD. The report I was given by this psychiatrist was riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes, and claimed things like I have binge eating disorder and insomnia, when I donât have either of those things. The directions for medications were vague, and the GP I went to had trouble following what was written. This GP isnât thorough himself, writing me a mental health care plan with also lots of mistakes, and one that said I was going to see a psychologist because of three types of insomnia that you canât have all at once. But to avoid paying $60 out of pocket to see the more thorough GP up the road, I didnât really have a choice. Besides, that GP said, âReally?!! We wouldâve picked that up when you were younger,â when I said I thought I had ADHD. So today, the GP asked me if I really needed medication. I tell him thatâs his job to determine, but I have always struggled to stay afloat doing pretty much anything, and itâs made my life hell. He then asked me if I wanted to try a different medication, so he can change the permit to allow him to prescribe it. I told him I didnât want to try a long-acting medication again, because I couldnât sleep. He then tells me that he canât change the permit to let me have something else, and the report is shit, and I should see a psychiatrist again. $900 out of pocket to see the first psychiatrist, probably a couple of hundred to try medication for depression and ADHD, lots of learned helplessness and valuable time lost⊠and now even more money down the drain. The price gouging is insane, exploiting people who are struggling and in need of answers. Iâve also heard of people who got a diagnosis, and somehow theyâve missed bipolar disorder when taking their hx, and oop, theyâve ended up with stimulant-induced psychosis. I went to the optometrist last year, who said I have a focusing problem with my eyes. Maybe thatâs what itâs been this whole time. It just makes me wonder if I should even bother trying meds, or if I should just give up. But I cannot keep maintaining the status quo, or I will be giving up on life.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thatâs such fucking bullshit, and sadly a story Iâve heard before.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I feel for you. Hearing what people I know pay for psych appointment is horrendous.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Hopefully you can get a second opinion from a different psychiatrist. I have heard stories before of people having additional conditions to adhd, which get missed because adhd symptoms can overlap with other things. If the medication is causing your life quality to be lower than without it, this sounds like itâs definitely the wrong stuff and needs a review. Taking it should be helpful, not make things worse.

How is good is this weather? Iâll be school shoe shopping today with the kid where sheâll complain that theyâre all ugly and itâs hard to choose between ugly and ugly.

I needed a break from the heat, same as the fluffy ones amongst us lol

Bliss for the next couple of days!
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Feels weird to suddenly having a day like this.
I was about to go out for a little for some fresh air but I donât think I will anymore.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Go. Weâve only got 2 or 3 days before the heat returns so go outside now.
Aradina@lemmy.ml âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago

Pity PR wonât let me actually reply with âeat my arseâ

briongloid@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Was the previous daily deleted by accident?
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve noticed that the Brisbane mob seem to have a daily bot - maybe if we ask them nicely theyâll share the code?
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Hmm thatâs certainly something I didnât see coming.
Thought the threads would still be here but it looks like they were totally wiped out of existence.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
If I look at my own personal history I can see the comments I made to yesterdayâs thread, just not the thread nor other posterâs comments.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I have screenshots, I went off on him. I take the blame tbh.
Iâve unsubbed to c/Melbourne, so heâs free to come back or whatever he wants to do. If you want the screenshots to make an assessment, DM me and I can send you them.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I appreciated you pointing out that his initial comment that prompted your reaction was quite thoughtless, but can tell from previous interactions that you two had some tension.
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
An automated daily posting would be the right way to go, if itâs possible. It means itâs not dependant on any specific user being awake, remembering, or have obligations to remain a user here, in case they ever wish to delete their account. A lot of people find value in the community here and it would be a pity to loose that. I feel terrible about the interactions I saw yesterday. I hope Baku and Spud both Ok and would like to come back when they are ready.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I sent you a dm with the screenshots for your assessment.
briongloid@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thank you for that, I have taken a look at them with greater context of what was being discussed in yesterdayâs thread.
We hadnât dealt with this kind of issue from regulars that I have seen from my notifications or the modlog until now, I would have preferred Baku had reported your comments so that I could have actioned them when I came online at midnight.
Part of the issue may have been my lack of participation in the daily discussions themselves, so I havenât been as viewable as I should be, but I have been checking daily for months. Itâs important that we avoid letting these kinds of interpersonal issues feel like they arenât going to be actioned by the mods.
Your comments directed towards Baku appear to be targeted in a way that are absolutely against the community rules, the subject matter is allowed as we havenât barred specific topics from the daily, only the manner in which users talk to each other. I have yet to issue just a temporary band so far on this platform, so I am learning as I go.
Considering that part of this issue is the lack of established rules, penalties and more importantly the lack of assurance that I will action issues in due time, this isnât a permanent ban. You will be welcome back in 72hrs, knowing that I canât guarantee not issuing a permanent ban if an issue like this where to occur by yourself or another user in the future.
Today was a weird day for everyone, come back in 3 days and letâs get back to normal appropriate behaviour. I will be looking at where I went wrong and hopefully have a community post in how we can avoid this in the future by the time you come back.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I just noticed that. Is it just the thread or is Baku nuked? Itâs my damn fault. I brought up an awkward discussion :(
My comment should have been deleted, or I should have received a warning not to talk about such things. Not him.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It wasnât you. It was me melbaboutown.
briongloid@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It is looking like they deleted their account and comments, without seeing their comments I donât have a full picture of whether they said anything that would warrant a banning of future Baku accounts.
I havenât seen anything so far that was by you and targeted harassment toward other users.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs OK to discuss difficult issues, even if it gets a little ugly sometimes.
Because that means we are talking which is far better than not talking at all. If we donât talk about difficult issues then how can we learn about each other and the issues.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Do you ever come across an object and think âI wonder what thatâs fromâ? So you keep it thus occupying both physical space and brain space because you know if you do toss it youâll work out what itâs for a week later once the big bins have been emptied.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Good news is Iâm back from the shops with everything we need until next week. Bad news is it took 2 hours. Good news is the dog didnât shit on my carpet while we were gone.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm going to wait 2 weeks before approaching my manager again about the outcome of the raise discussions.
Have kept applying and have a couple more interviews next week.
Will have to be working outside office hours anyway, and the raise would make it worthwhile, but weâll see.
Fingers crossed.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
update: Oh look, suddenly they have some new reviews lavishing adoration on their customer service after I explicitly mentioned how crap it was.

Today was an odd day. I got anxious yesterday which continued to this morning, but I just couldnât put a finger on it.
At least it wore off as the day went on. (Probably the whole IKEA debacle helped. Funny that.)
Group hug for DDT. đ€
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago

Diet is slowly working. habits are changing. I have to take in some pants that are just too big now.
Getting rid of some âold ladyâ clothes too and soon will be buying some better more tailored and younger stuff. yay đ
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think know what Iâm going to use those virtual desktops, or remote spaces for. Iâve got a couple of projects at work on the go already now, so instead of having a bunch of tabs open across two screens I can separate them out to their own desktops and have everything I need for them there.
That way I wonât get lost amongst all the tabs and I can keep focused on one specific task at a time. Letâs see if it works
tombruzzo@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm feeling a bit better today so Iâve decided to go in. If that turns out to be a mistake I can always go home again
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
how is it 7.30, I thought it was nearly 9
so tired, woke up at 1.30 with stabbing migraine
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Wow. I joke and act chill but lately both my anxiety and sleep have been absolutely unmanageable. -_-
Plus I have to get this grumpy tooth checked out again.
I think it might be time to take a quarter of an otc sleeping pill between midnight and 2 to try and get at least a few hours of sleep at an appropriate time. (Taking any more than that is a roulette of it either completely not working or making me so groggy I sleep right through the next day.)
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Couldâve done a bit longer today but solid day out in fantastic weather. Definitely feeling the happy chemicals along with the mild soreness. Now time to salvage this shitty leftover gluggy jasmine rice and make fried rice with it. NEVER again am I falling for that nonsense with 1:1.5 ratios on the packetâŠ
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So PSA. If you want to use an IKEA gift card purchased online immediately, you canât.
What a joke. 48h.

Spent a good chunk of the day applying for roles in different departments. Thereâs 3 I am super keen on, wish me luck.

MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš4â© âšmonthsâ© ago
