Ok got Jerboa working. ::: spoiler Title Assault discussion and rant
:::So today I go to the cafe I like to get a coffee from at the train station before work, and the guy next to me at the counter is having a friendly chat with the barista. Suddenly a guy comes up to him and slams a coke can into his neck. The can sprays one drop of liquid onto my leg and I stare at it stupidly. The two guys are not throwing punches but the guy who was attacked is just meeting his force, they’re just kind of swaying. My stupid brain thinks they know each other, and then I’m like, “hang on why would he hit him with a Coke can?” (I am super dumb before coffee and had half my brain on my birthday). The attacker then headbutts the other guy and walks away. The victim kept an incredibly cool head. It all happened so quickly and was the most unprovoked and totally random thing I have ever seen. The victim looked a bit like Andre Agassi and the perp looked a bit like Catweasel but younger. His neck was scratched up from the can and he had a rapidly growing lump on his face. I told him he needed to get that seen to. I’ve seen the perp around that area and he’s a homeless guy who’s made himself a little encampment I’ve seen. Never seen him act like this before, but has obvious mental health issues. A couple of us gave the victim our numbers, but he said “the police aren’t gonna do anything anyway.” It was just really disturbing in that it was so completely random and unprovoked. When one of the other witnesses asked, the guy said he didn’t know him and had never met him before. For years I had anxiety and was in a heightened hyper vigilant state, and it took years of counselling and medication to actually deprogram myself from that. And then today something like that happens right next to me and I stare like a stunned mullet (to be fair, so did everyone else). When I got to work the kitchen manager said lucky it was just a Coke can, what if it was a knife. I thought shit, that’s true and seriously the guy would’ve been dead.
The day before that, some pervert got arrested for trying to abduct children just down the block from there. He actually climbed into a car and the mother was right there! Seriously what the fuck‽ I feel like carrying a ciggie lighter to go with my can of deodorant, if my dumb brain decides to react in time for it to be useful.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Holy shit. I hope you’re ok now. I don’t know what else to say. That’s fucked.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 days ago
WTF. I’m so sorry. This is terrifying. There’s no way to know how a violent person might react if you tried to intervene, he could escalate the violence. The fight/flight/freeze primitive brain is usually very good at making the right choice, otherwise we would have died out as a species. I think mental institutions are not always a bad thing. Nobody benefits from this guy being on the street. Not him, not his victims, not the police, not the bystanders. There must be a better way.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
so many hugs , that’s just terrible, and yes, standing still is a tactic our brain uses, you survived, you did good
and you tried to help too
more hugs
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
That’s a really scary situation to witness. Something is in the air in Melbourne lately. That random stabbing in the news today and now what you’ve described. After my pumpkin attack episode earlier in the year, I am so much more cautious of the people around me and keep my distance from anyone acting strangely. But when they come up from behind you without warning, there isn’t a whole lot you can do.
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 days ago
How frightening for you, I don’t think any of us know how we’d react when faced with something like that. There is something very wrong with our system where an assault like that isn’t worth reporting. I hope you can process this and it doesn’t change the kind soul you are 🩷
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’m so sorry, Melbourne is getting so fucked. And it’s illegal to even carry stuff for self defence.
That was the freeze response (which you probably know) and is designed to protect you. I hope you’re doing alright in the aftermath.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
You did the right thing, intervening would have only put yourself in harm’s way. It sounds the aggressor may not only have mental health issues, but meth/drug issues as well, and you can’t know how they’re going to act at any given minute.
Try to occupy your hands and brain with a physical task - a simple game (Tetris, or a simple puzzle game) can help with processing what happened.
You’re going to be okay, sending you good vibes and love 💜

Not there yet but golly gosh did this new 'puter churn through that data.
Comet C/2025 R2 SWAN. 20 x 3 mins exposure.
Usually have to leave it for a good 15 mins / 30 mins to process… took < 1 min now which is wild.

Great photo. I tried to set it as an eye friendly background on my monitor to replace the top view of a pineapple field that I currently have but KDE is being less helpful than I have patience. Saved to downloads until I work out how.

Air conditioning test has concluded. I turned on the air conditioning. The house got too cold. I turned off the air conditioning. Success!

She’s so precious.
So what are we all doing to celebrate your birthday? A particular colour we should wear that day? A particular album you want us all to listen to and review? A flavour of cake we should all treat ourselves to?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Well I reckon have whatever drink you like best and throw on your favourite album ❤️

Hello fellow Scorpio ♏️
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I have a moon in Scorpio. Apparently this means horny and evil. 🤐
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 days ago
We get such a bad rap lol
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 days ago
This Libran loves Scorpios, have had lots of Scorpios in my life, and never understood what all the weird attitudes were about. You guys are really genuine with your emotions and aren’t dishonorable people.

salt and vinegar thins sammich anyone?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Heck yeah!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Blowfly followed me into the dunny. Idiot. Shot at close range.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
How much salt comes out? Could you use it in a tequila type sitaution?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Nah. Maybe 20 - 30 grains of salt. If you stick a piece of foil on the wall and shoot you can see the spray pattern.
I have stood on the chair at Christmas lunch and asked everyone if they want any season. The all declined the cowards.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Bringing a salt gun into the dunny is dedication.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Not quite. I went in there, shut the door and I hear buzzing. Eyes wide “QUICK, GET MY GUN. IT’S IN HERE”.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Ugh I think my nas has died.

I find that about many things. Once upon a time I had two mars bars for lunch, now I can hardly stand a bite size

Happy Friday Eve!
I’m going to do a gratitude thread because haven’t done one in a while. What are you grateful for?
what I'm grateful for
- the friendly PSOs I encountered last night - another fun meetup session - the signage in the city being okay for replacement buses - my classmates giving me travel advice - looking after my aunt’s dog and seeing her every morning (she is one and still has a bit of puppy energy)
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 days ago

Still no Pokémon update. A loud fart noise in the direction of new management.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I have managed to plant two of my plants so far. I’m not accustomed to hot weather, and digging out the grass around the area of the planting hole is tough work. One or two plants then a break will be the pattern of the day. I have the fan on creating a nice breeze inside, when it gets a bit warmer I plan to test the evaporative cooling function, whether I really need it or not.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
even tho I’m really tired out it’s been a really good day
this is the 3rd day of changing how I walk and lo and behold my back no longer is in agony on the way home
every small change adds up :-)

Having trouble with Jerboa so using my browser. Everything looks wrong!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Started a JDrama last night and it was a terrible idea because there’s so much of it that takes places in Shinjuku and it makes me pine so bad seeing places I recognise.

Beyond the realms of human imagination is possibly the stupidest possible description of something that already exists
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 days ago
I was expecting hot and gross weather today. It’s just kind of warm. Maybe since it’s a one off day the house hasn’t ha da chance to heat up
