    Don’t be fooled. That’s not Gibson. That’s a statue I made with all the fluff that’s been falling out lately.

    Goodnight ❤️

      I get so much dog hair in the Dyson I need to empty it a few times per room. I show the dog the bag of hair I keep with me and ask what he plans to do about it.

    Having a lot of fun playing Ratchet and Clank on the PS2. I used to play the series ALL THE TIME! I reckon if I made different choices, I’d be a speedrunner for R&C, all my muscle memory is coming back from replaying it over and over in my teens.

    And there’s so much in the first game that Insomniac expanded on in 2 (going commando) and especially 3 (up your arsenal). I remember why Insomniac are my favourite devs/studio.

    It turned out to be quite a nice day today and I got a bit of gardening done. I put some weed & feed on the grass, mostly hoping to get rid of the bindiis, and a couple of other rampant weeds that have gotten a bit overexcited about spring. I planted out some shallots & potato onions (which are a lot like shallots) and sorted out my seed planting plans for tomorrow. Which involved a fair bit of searching through boxes to find some of my gardening stuff which is still packed. I’m still missing a couple of things, but nothing too important.

    I hope to get onto some assembling of plant supports tomorrow too, which will help visualise where everything will fit in the garden and help with laying everything out.

      Mostly outdoors work for me too tomorrow. I’ll rust proof then paint an outdoor table for plants then it’s a big clean up of the front yard.

    Fresh hell update: They managed to find one at another store . At this point we just want the dishwasher and wash our hands of this BS, so we arrange that they refund the delivery fee, give us a new number and we go pick up at said store.

    ONE HOUR LATER. no new number. I call, and Other Store are like “wat”

    I call braaahgton: “Ohhh we’re having a PERSONAL driver bring it back to brighton for youuuu” WELL THAT’S GREAT BECAUSE THE ARRANGEMENT WAS WE GO PICK IT UP AT ANOTHER STORE YA FARKIN IDIOT

    Today’s weird opshop LP finds. I buy every comedy record I find except Bill Cosby.

    first up, The Best of the Two Ronnies. These were a very famous comedy duo who in their sketch comedy show satirised the worst of popular culture

    First track, a perfect rendition of treacly post war Scottish husband wife folk music duos, it was so spot on so ickle pretty sweet with perfect accents I had to check the disc to see if it was really them. God it was awful …lol

    Why was the Black and White Minstrel Show still a thing in 60s and 70s? Anyway, Corbett and Barker do “The Short and Fat Minstrel Show.” I hope it offended fat and short racists and racists and sexists in general. Because what the fuck why the black and white minstrel show even exist

    the satire really is shocking , people forget how harsh and impolite we had to be to stop racism ( and it still hasn’t stopped .) Every single racist trope is mentioned.

    I am just 😧 😲 😲

    click at your own peril, to be antiracist you had to make commentary on racism and show examples www.youtube.com/watch?v=32ePC-uVKFI

      Silver or black embroidered spiderwebs across the lapels, and on one of them, a haematite spider with black pipecleaner legs. Or a googly eye with pipecleaner legs would be fun too.

    • Buy dishwasher on the 25th. Not in stock, but they’ll order in from Bosch.

    29th they say “Hey good for pickup and organise delivery” We have sparky coming out on the 3rd so I arrange with the installer to bounce to today delivery guy says ok ok ok reschedules four times on their booking system. finally books in tomorrow I call him going wtf dude “nonono it totally says the 5th, 8:30 am” I call him at 10 am today asking if he’s gonna show up “hurrrr isn’t it tomorrow?” He “agrees” to fit us in DISHWASHER NOT FUCKING THERE cunt has a go at me over it

    Fuck you, good guys brighton. And fuck your goddamn hipages installers

      The only thing good guys are good at is advertising.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Sometimes misleading advertising. I bought a freezer from there a couple of years ago and they were advertising a credit for future purchases that turned out to be so restrictive it was basically useless. Apparently ACCC pulled them up on it and made them send out vouchers with no restrictions or time limits, so I got an unexpected $60 voucher recently (which paid for the toaster I picked up today!)

      • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        oh we are past THAT.

        It was THEIR staff who marked off the logistics at THEIR warehouse ready for pickup and then arranged THEIR installer to contact me.

        so this is all them. It’s not “oh I jumped me gun they don’t have it” they fucking created this whole shitfest

    I have successfully braved the local post office to pick up my toaster and return some long-overdue library books. I can now authoritatively say that it is an awful, badly designed carpark I would be very happy never to return to.

    I also went to Bunnings, which was fairly hard to actually get to despite being just over the road. Actually getting there involved a large loop and a ridiculously long light cycle at traffic lights. Then when I was checking out the eftpos machine wasn’t working and after three attempts I had to move to another register to pay. I will be happy to be able to stay home for a while now - I have nearly two weeks off and have plans to not go anywhere.

    I managed to spend almost $150 on various shit. A mix of cow and chicken, plus some liquified fish for good measure. When Mr Woof gets a sniff of it all he’s going to be very impressed.

    On the way home I could see they have surveyors out in the paddocks over the road which are slated for a new estate. The cows were very interested, and one of the surveyors was having to survey in the middle of a herd of bovine helpers.

        I was taking my last adhd tablet at the wrong time. I was taking it early thinking it would run out faster but that’s not how it works.

        If you take it too early it stacks with the previous tablet and you got a weird double effect.

      loss of “suspension of disbelief” perhaps

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief

      I can be the same sometimes , after seeing a movie a few times I start to look at the writing and structure of it , but I still enjoy it very much, maybe even more

      solution, watch other shows where the story will take you away

      ( last week I went to see Frankenstein, I was surprised at myself at how much I was immersed in the story telling , could not take my eyes off the screen, very much a what happens next story but had so many moments of reflection too , 5/4 hobbits )
