    Today was a shit day - mood low, irritated very easily, stressed out and felt like an anxious mess all day. Putting intentions out there for tomorrow to be a better day.

    Catching up with a friend tomorrow night at a bar I’ve been wanting to try out, I think I will be indulging in a cocktail or two.

      Oooh which bar? Let me know if it’s any good, I love a good rooftop bar. Hope today is a better day for you!

      Enjoy the rooftop bar! Hope things pick up for you soon.

      This is one reason I like online shopping. I don’t need to physically find anything and can just do a keyword search for anything I might desire. Plus I can sort by unit price.

    me: “hmm, I am adhering to good practises but when I set the CPU type on this virtual machine in Proxmox it’s not being reflected in its operating system. I have rebooted the vm, I have even gone so far as rebooting the entire enclosure, I have tried other permutations, it is not reflecting. Perhaps I should post upon the forums for consultation.”

    Forums: waffling response that doesn’t answer the actual question rabbiting on about about CPU types and suggesting I use good practises and the CPU type that I have clearly stated I am already using

    response two: detailed instructions on how to set the CPU type on the virtual machine. Again, which I have detailed I HAVE ALREADY DONE

    My watch said to expect dreary weather today. First time I’ve ever seen a word besides sunny or partly cloudy. It was like being in a sauna today. Way too warm in the building, and I’m someone who gets cold easily.

    Watching the US “autism” furphy very very closely. Inlaws have fallen - well not full magat, but very very adjacent. Very adjacent

    They also have an ASD daughter, ASD daughter in law (me) ADHD son and an AuADHD granddaughter.

    We are all watching them very. Very. Closely.

    (Ironic thing is we all fucking know my FIL is asd as well, he’s just low support)

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Ahh fuck. I had an actual look and the medicalisation of autism… the focus on “not letting it happen anymore” is probably going to lead to more aggressive attempts to “cure autism” (ABA, bleach, chelation) and maybe even eugenics.

      I don’t even have a snarky remark for this. Captain Crunchy and the Cheeto are going to spearhead abusing and killing neurodivergent and disabled people at a higher rate than already happens.

        oh yeah, there was a reason why my first reaction in another thread was the words “Aktion T4”

      I saw something about it pop up, were they linking paracetamol to autism? Or saying it was alright for pregnant women to take? Not people I’d take health advice from anyway.

      And I think neurotypical people, or at least people who don’t realise they have something, can start having weird opinions when they have a lot of kids on the spectrum. They probably think, ‘nothing’s wrong with me, what made my kids this way?’ And then the Youtube research begins.

        Thing is, apart from the granddaughter we were all very late diagnosed. As in “in our 40’s”. And like these things tend to do, it tobogganed, I found out first, His Lordship always suspected he was ADHD, but not enough to cause issues until we exceeded his abilities and some Bad Things happened and I told him he was gonna get tested or he’d be a single man wearing his own bum as a hat (paraphrased). Then SIL realised from observance that hey you can be ND and …not be “disabled” (lotta internalised abelism in that family which is also why His Lordship took so long to get diagnosed) and WHOOPS, there we are. Which also allowed her and her husband to identify a lot of things in one of their daughters and get her to a psychiatrist and learning how to teach her emotional regulation and stimulus control before she turned into the betrayed-feeling anger ball the rest of us are.

    I was just listening to a ‘Christian Metal’ band called Demon Hunter. At first I was like, ‘can you really tell a band is christian?’ But once you know, you can’t ignore it. It was like any other American band trying to copy European metal, but the vibes were fucked.

    If I didn’t know, I’d probably just listen and say it wasn’t very good, but the christian angle makes it very off-putting. It even re-contextualises the name, Demon Hunter. Instead of just being something they thought sounded cool, it has much more of an angle to it.

      We once set up a bbq at Jubilee Lake next to a small group listening to music on Australia day. It took me a while to realise we were all listening to Christian rock. I couldn’t stop laughing whenever I looked at my husband.

    I wish I had a shed or a comfortable outdoor space to work in to allow the use of solvent… and maybe a cat proofed yard or large catio or run for the fuzzy one, to keep her with me so she doesn’t get anxious but keeps her away from breathing the solvent and out of the paint.

    I can’t say the paintings produced would be high quality but having a proper working space would give me the chance to do something constructive and maybe kind of regulate.

      outdoor table on the back door step as a place to clean brushes?

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yeah but I’m gonna have to do multiple brush cleanings between colours and can’t really do it inside.

        I can take it all into the back room and blast air through as a crossbreeze for ventilation but still babygirl is asthmatic and glued to me.

        And if I don’t have everything well up out of her reach she’ll stand in it, tip it over or brush against it. I don’t want to risk it.

    I feel you need a specialist degree just to understand a gas bill these days.
