    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

      Be careful of mixing Guinea pigs with a JRT. A lesson I learned at a young age!

        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.

      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.

      I’ve never met a guinea pig.

      Do they do anything? chase a ball? respond to their names?

    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.

    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.

      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).

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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!

        source

        That’s my favourite game of all time. Horizon I mean. Absolute blast.

    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

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Autoplay is evil. I’m having a hard time turning it off

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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

    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.

    source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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”

      source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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

        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.

    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.
