Buy some of the blackout window film. It helps loads. Peels off easy too when renting.

I had to read that headline 3 times as I didn’t believe my brain was reading correctly.

Feedback is there. Ignore it if you want.
I think the term is FAFI
- Comment on Plans to shut Marston's Brewery in Burton revealed 1 week ago:
Who can afford beer these days? Even at these brands that are traditionally cheaper. Going out is a treat.
I miss when pubs had sticky carpets and a shandy bass was pocket money.

Would pay to see this.
- Comment on you know what pisses me off? ads on wikipedia 1 week ago:
And enough to threaten their staff contributors too.
Wiki leadership have gone all corporate lately. They won’t recognise a workers union and seem to be moving to a more authoritative admin.
They have tons of money and enjoy a throne on information distribution. Sounds a bit like the church when I say it like that.

No i am not.
- Comment on The Australia interest rate rise is the wrong medicine and an even worse alibi 2 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree. But this is not a problem that has just arrived. Its been a long time building, with so many people could see it, and voiced it. But people voted for house prices to the moon, meaning more debt for everyone. Meaning less investment to businesses. The can got kicked and kicked. No one wants to see the country in a downward economy but its likely that the result is baked in now. I didn’t make this mess, I cant fix the mess, i’m just the person who points out that its been a long time coming and the consequences need to happen.
- Comment on The Australia interest rate rise is the wrong medicine and an even worse alibi 2 weeks ago:
I am not saying it will improve, i think its inevitable a lot of people will get hurt, those without likely. However a lack of common awareness is a big issue. Australia is affluent. Do people spend money easy…take a look at westfield most weekends, and tell me i am wrong. But she’ll be alright is used like an excuse to not deal with clear issues.
I know that there is disparity, been calling if for a long time but most people have been ok with this because their house price went up. The can has been kicked and kicked but debt has to be paid eventually. I am not rich, I cannot afford a home in Aus, but I am also not ignorant to the conditions of those who struggle.
- Comment on The Australia interest rate rise is the wrong medicine and an even worse alibi 2 weeks ago:
Those who took on too much debt shouldn’t hold the rest of the nation to ransoms.
Aus is an affluent country used to having a high disposable income. They will likely all keep spending.
They need to start taking the medicine. The ironic lucky country is being realised here
- Comment on The Greens’ defence red lines: No weapons for Ukraine, curtail the US alliance 2 weeks ago:
Initially i was peeved off at this but it does feel like the media cherry picking. Hopefully the party can clarify the stance.
Ukraine need this support. But if the ban also includes getting rid of support for russia/isreal/usa etc it has to be discussed. Realistically if they can support in other areas to massively compensate that sounds okaish but i am not sure AUS is in a position to sit on the sidelines as a pacifist nation given its vulnerability as a remote spot.
Realistically it would be good to see all parties put forward who they are offering support to, esp in the age of super interference. It is easy to say i don’t do politics but from war crimes to fuel prices politics are impacting us.

Whilst i hate reddit, It would be great flair system that labels say for example Reddit, Anime, Gardening and you could block by flair.

That second pic is exactly what i thought.

Ah, i’m the same TBH, sorry for being a pest. But i also have an over imagination. I was thinking maybe one of those steam boothes where you sit and the head pops out.
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 3 weeks ago:
No one else itching to ask what it is? Not sure if its me being extra nosy of the slightly vague post.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if that had any impact on the result. Logic response would be the jurors applied the process based on the evidence but when the judge is clearly dismissive, it really leaves them no choice. But I am curious if the level of condescension by the was a major psychological factor.

I think some hate is invevatable. I don’t wanna shoot the messenger but I am getting the urge to vote down. The world is bad enough without these two appearing on my feed. Can’t slap them so downvote is a like a glowing beacon.

Thanks for the welcomes all. I am currently overseas, have been for a few year and now heading back. Restarting life in Melbourne after QLD, don’t know a peep in melbs. Looking forward to the legendary coffee and the rain. Not looking forward to the move.
Seems chill and fun in here, always good to see.

- Comment on WTF is happening to Reddit 1 month ago:
You can still like videos and make comment on an inefficient way of information being communicated.
Second to that the YT clickbait headline and the video dump and run are not really appealing to a lot.
Third its a provocative post, reddit isn’t too liked over here and the omg look over there just plain dramafarming. The post is gonna get flippant and dismissive responses.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
I have had this style once. The shower head even reached around near the toilet, so when cleaning I could just hose the whole thing over, and then squidgee. Very convenient.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
Bloody British practicing personal choice and practicability rather than arrogance. They should just get bigger houses, duel sinks in every bathroom, change the light trims with every passing trend. Pull up the bootstraps and stop suffering.
