    Bit of a wild swim in that wind. Very choppy waves hitting the beach at 45 degrees (usually they’re parallel). Ended up 80m down the beach in a few mins from where my kit was. Certainly wasn’t a south easterly as per BoM but nth. easterly.

    So no wave tonight just sand in the wind:

    They denied my raise. Apparently doing 45 hour weeks isn’t enough. Go fuck yourselves.

      Silver lining is you know exactly where you stand with them. When you move on, it won’t be a shock.

      What a bunch of fuck heads. Losing staff left right and centre and then refusing to accommodate you is so stupid. They know the place is going down the toilet.

        These guys are a whole other level of stupid.

      What a bummer. Especially when this place had such promise when you first started. Sounds like you’ve exhausted every avenue and it’s time to move on… Hope you manage to jump this sinking ship soon, seems like nothing but bad news all around.

      Sooner you get a new role the sooner you can think about moving house too.

        I honestly felt this was the best job I had. Of course, I get anxious thinking “am I overreacting”? But then I remember that we’ve lost close to a dozen people in less than 3 months.

        I’ll be out soon hopefully, I’ve got interviews this week.

        I’m trying to move house ASAP, but I don’t think I can swing it just yet. But we’ll see.

    I’m not as active on here on the weekends as during the week. It’s easier to write something when I’m not worried about two toddlers wrestling on the couch compared to when I’m at work.

    I still dip in and out to see what everyone is doing

    • Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I’m similar, in that I just lurk sometimes because I either don’t a) have anything to contribute b) am too busy or c) have nothing to whinge about haha.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Too busy’s a big I’ve for me. I don’t understand people that tweet all the time, even just shooting out a tweet takes time.

        And even though you can put anything in here, no matter how mundane, sometimes I just can’t think of anything

    Oop. Did not realise wendigoon is a gateway to the alt-right pipeline 👀 here’s me just enjoying his enjoying his analog horror analyses.

    Apparently, if YT thought I was a guy, it would start recommending me more alt-right videos, after watching wendigoon.

    If I reccomended his channel, take it with an ocean of salt. 😬😬😬

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Yikes. Yeah, there is apparently something with the algorithm that tries to send you down that pipeline.

      I used to watch canning or gardening videos and started getting recommended religious preppers

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I hate that gaming interests does that. It’s annoying and lame AF. I love video games, does not mean I’m interested in right wing shenanigans! One can be a leftie and still like video games 😭

        And I’m not surprised regarding self-sufficiency and religious preppers; very US bible belt, end-of-times shite. Why does every innocent interest or hobby have to be taken over by fucking weirdos!? 😭😭😭

        source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      It’s just YouTube. I saw someone share a profile just for their kid to watch videos and there was just a Jordan Peterson video in the recommended.

      I see the same thing at work. My work account only has videos related to work and it’s trying to push conservative political shit on me

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        You’re comment is serendipitous! My partner told me about wendigoon last night, and today I’ve been picking up on other male YT channels that play horror games saying offhand shit about women. I can’t unsee it!

        I just ranted to him about it, but I’d rather know than blindly support channels that promote or hold those views.

        Thankfully, YT knows I’m “female” and hasn’t recc’d me any outright Jordan Peterson-esque, right-wing propaganda stuff. It’s just I like watching channels play horror games, and the vast majority are US men. It’s so easy for young boys and men to fall down that hole these days ugh!!

        Funnily, since Cheetolini and President Musky got in, FB has been reccomendeding me Jordan Peterson shit. I hate that site, I only use it to post pictures of Mickey to his rescue orgs page as they like seeing their cats and dogs living their best life 😂

    Met the new neighbour down here. Dude was born here but moved to the US as an equine vet. Now he’s moved back. Turns out he went to the same school and grandparents lived next to mine. Small world. Seems decent so that’s good. He’ll apparently be back and forth and renting it out as a holiday place in between so might get a few partays to crash.

      I have.

      A very large and rich cult did a board coup and bought out the multinational my husband worked for, and who I was just starting a job for ( i was sacked ).

      They replaced all the exec suite and put in unqualified but trusted friends, employees were only allowed to buy from a list of trusted vendors ( that’s called racketeering ) . The execs weren’t placed for business expertise, they were like mafia execs, only knowing how to scam.

      company tanked, they did not care, they weren’t there to keep a business running , they were there to spend the goodwill and take all the money they could asap

    TW Functional depression, suicidality

    Well, I’ve reported the trees in case they fuck up my house. Now to wait and see if I’m once more subjected to crazy aggressive behaviour in retaliation 😔 Melbcat is medicated and fed and resting her sore little self. She’s due her arthritis shot soon. I’m begging for her to perk up because this is scaring me. Life really kind of sucks and it feels permanent. I can’t even do my hobbies despite the desire to. It’s not even living. All I seem to ever do is struggle and suffer.

      Really? Hmm. I’m currently hooked on a game called Slime Legion and it’s driving me nuts.

      source
      • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I paid $15 for Balatro, and it’s absolutely bonkers. Fairly simple but you end up facing some hard choices as the game goes on.

        It won indie game of the year for 2024 and makes complete sense.

    I was drinking matcha everyday for the past few years until I started getting the jitters. I have switched to hojicha and am still getting jittery. Last week, I had nothing at all and had anxiety at a moderate baseline, but not the constant chest tightness, tingling hands, heart racing and brain fog. So I guess it’s just water and herbal tea for me for now. Hopefully any future ADHD meds don’t make me feel like this.
