How quick before you fall in love?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They are cute but no. I need to get off this roller-coaster cos I’m gonna be sick.
Eagle@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Be careful of mixing Guinea pigs with a JRT. A lesson I learned at a young age!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I have no more words left except for stupidity stupidity stupidity.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Moving an armchair because your house flooded and inadvertantly allowing your mixed breed terrier to scale it and access the guinea pig enclosure while you are out at a Christmas Eve party also ends badly. For the guinea pigs anyway, the dog thought it was the best Christmas ever. My other dog tried to join in and just ended up stuck in the rabbit enclosure below and I found them all chilling in there together when I got home, so I’m not sure if he thought the whole adventure was good or bad.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Aww they’re adorable though. They’re so funny, they can grow on you! I took one when my friend moved overseas and I could talk for ages about how Neville was.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Do you want them? They’re like zoo zoo pets but 10 times bigger.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They’re cute but that’s about it
Hope the invasion doesn’t last too long for you
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They’re outside eating the grass which is the only benefit I see.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’ve never met a guinea pig.
Do they do anything? chase a ball? respond to their names?
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They have opinions
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Yeah they play so I’m told.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Lowkey jealous of their hair styles lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They are adorable but they are work, that is true.

Also, Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition is half price on GoG, $15, til 03/01 Haven’t played the dlcs so this’ll be fun :3
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Good morning Spud, hi Mickey
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
That’s the Fallout version I bought and didn’t like. It just didn’t capture my interest for some reason. I’m happy I move onto Horizon:Zero Dawn though, I really liked that one (have just started the sequal now).
StudChud@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I love Horizon Zero Dawn! Played the absolute shit out of it, collected everything, found everything, story is awesome (Fuck Ted Faro!!)
I haven’t played Forbidden West, you’ll have to let me know your thoughts on it!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
That’s my favourite game of all time. Horizon I mean. Absolute blast.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
My friends were like, “have you seen the videos from bondi?” To which I said I haven’t. One of the upsides of not being on normal social media is not coming across those sorts of videos and having them autoplay before you have a chance to respond, doing as much psychic damage to you as possible
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Autoplay is evil. I’m having a hard time turning it off
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Everything has it on by default and makes it so hard to turn off. There’s like three places you need to turn it off on Youtube and they keep turning on the thumbnail autoplay on hover everywhere for me.
There has been reports of even employees at Facebook seeing themselves as the new tobacco companies. All we can hope is one day soon they’re regulated in the same way or removed completely
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 10 months ago
16 people. Holy shit.
That’s quite a lot of damage with a basic long gun.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s horrible.

I also accidentally flexed Male Pocket Privileged on a woman at work today when I stuffed a whole drink bottle into my side pocket that ALREADY had a half sized food container in there
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
My switch and phone fit in one pocket lol
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I can fit 6 frozen south melbourne dim sims in the pocket of the shorts I’m wearing atm.
Not so often get asked: , “are you happy to see me”?
… : “No, they were on special”
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
UniQlo pocket supremacy for the ladies
I think a number of brands are including pockets now but it’s slow-going
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Brands are slowly realising what the people want
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
No outside time today, I had people over then a phone call and was absolutely exhausted. Got hit by the nap trap again and still feel drained.
Melbcat still got some sunshine though. She lay in her bed by the window basking.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
sounds like a productive day 🙂
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
so very very windy at the beach
but once sheltered walking streets the sun is lovely and warm
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Whoops accidentally took a nap. It’s bizarre how I had crap sleep and started at 7am for all of last week and didn’t nap. Last night, my sleep wasn’t as crap as last week but I did fall asleep.
StudChud@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Someone in the alley is listening to a dance track that’s been auto-tuned to the 9 circles of hell and back… And it kinda slaps ✌️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Asking for suggestions on how I can help the homeless who are living near me.
There are people living in vans and cars and some who sleep on the footpaths.
i give money to people sleeping on footpaths and chat a moment and listen to what they have to say.
I can’t really do anything substantial, I don’t have the resources.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Things I’ve heard can be really helpful are things like toothpaste and sanitary products. You can imagine if you were a woman and homeless how much harder things would be without a fresh supply of pads.
Aside from that, I’d probably go things that can keep for a while both before and after being opened like cans of lentils or chickpeas.
Catfish@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Got an old handbag ?www.sharethedignity.org.au Gym passes (for showers etc) Is there a community pantry nearby? These guys are a bit fussy… www.petsofthehomeless.org.au Cash even if you suspect it might be spent on something “inappropriate”
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I wish I knew. Money may or may not help them. They might use it for drugs and alcohol but also might buy something they need, and it’s made a difference to their day. You have to accept both possibilities and, and hope you’ve made someone’s day better. I think food banks are a good donation, either money or items, because at least I know they have the infrastructure to distribute to where it’s needed, and this time of year theres high demand.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I already give to charities that help the homeless and people in need.
where I am there is a free public bathroom with showers and free public kitchen and cooking/bbq facilities
Maybe I should just ask individuals
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
a good day to do some work in the garden
pretty beat tho, I did 3 hours walking on the beach yesterday
which is good I suppose, I’m pretty fit for my age

What’s going on Melbs? Enjoying your spring time there?

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Guinea pigs are surprisingly demanding
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’m not looking after them so that’s a bonus. I’m worn out because I’m tryna catch up on my spring cleaning that I missed out on. I have today and tomorrow before the hot hits. On the hot days I’ll be hopefully relaxing and washing blankets.
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
quietly backs up google drive The real fun on this shit will start if Google needs age verification to access Gdrive and / or docs. Which are used by many, many, manyyyy businesses.
Of course, being that the fresh hell mandate kicks in on a weekend in the middle of a period people are guaranteed to take off, we’re not gonna see the real fireworks until next year.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It legit could happen given schools all use chromebooks and Google products by extension
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I backed mine up too and switched to remade alternate provider emails in case I lose access but I may have missed some :/
The more they pull this shit the more I’m going to retreat from their platforms and services
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
That’s hardly social media
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s not a social media ban. It’s a “protect the children from teh PORN!!” rule.
still bullshit.

The dice at work were a home run. Not only did I give her a full set of DnD dice but also in a colour she really likes so it was a high distinction in gift giving even if I say so myself
