I think this is where I’m meant to put some witty description of myself, but, uhh, I don’t have one. So have a Birb instead :)

Yeah. At the moment I don’t have much choice because I’m still under 18, apparently origin let me sign up with the assistance of an adult. They’re exactly at the default offer, which I don’t think is good because there were plenty of places that were under it. In any case, I’ve just got a little under 4 months to go, so that’s like 1 and a bit bills
Once I turn 18, electricity, gas, and internet are probably all being changed every time I find somebody cheaper

I kind of feel like that, but also get anxious. I can’t visualise anything, and although I know how long a centimetre/metre are, I can visualise how big 1.37 metres is in my space without a tape measure (which only kinda helps), so I hate purchasing size based things online. For general things, I do prefer online though. But expensive things give me buyer’s remorse, I guess cause of the lack of instant gratification

THERE’S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?
(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I’m not entirely sure aren’t weeds. I’m a fraud)

Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I’ve been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it’ll be nice to be like… A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I’ll have bulls

No camping from me, unfortunately I don’t even know how to, but it was still a cool trip. On top of the cute emus, there was also a cute parrot (?) with zero fear response trying to steal my chips. It kept landing on the table and walking up to my chippies, and every time I tried to shoo it away, it would hop back a step then just stand at me like “what’re you gonna do? Hit me??”
The criminal wannabe chip thief in question:

I’m heading off on vacay next week, so I’ll have plenty of time to catch trains then
Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open

Do I need to prescribe an hour’s off peak train travel? Trains fix everything :)

Ay thanks!
Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that’s about it

Hello peeps
How goes it?

I was just lurking and seeing if anyone else got screwed over with the CommBank kerfuffle this morning and saw this. Figured I should try and help
I have no clue what happened or why she isn’t on her Aussie zone account anymore, but she made a new account on Lemmy.world called lady_seagoon (which I think she’s deleted now). Lemmy.world is currently suffering from ~7 day delays (i.e: nothing posted from a lemmy.world account will be visible here for a week or more). So nobody was replying to her posts or comments. This is because of the way Lemmy is built and Nath/lodion not wanting to invest the effort implement a fix, but that’s a separate discussion
She then tried to subscribe from this community from her Lemmy World account, but when you subscribe to a community on another instance (in this case an Aussie zone community from an LW account), it will sometimes show subscribe pending. Why it does that isn’t really important, but it’s not because of an approval system or anything like that. It’s just trying send that subscription confirmation if you will, over to AZ (which remember has a 7 day transit time before it arrives and processes)
She’s best off logging back into her main account, but I’m guessing she forgot her password and didn’t provide an email or something, in which case she can just choose a new username. Maybe “Seagoon__” or something, and all will be well. She’ll have to be approved by Nath or lodion (because new accounts on AZ require approval by an admin). She could make an account on another instance (that is NOT LW), but it’s really just easiest to make one on AZ.
To simplify what’s happening, since Aussie zone is based in Australia, and Lemmy World is in Finland, you could think of it as Lemmy World sending every comment in a letter via boat. It’s gonna take a while to arrive, a week in this case. Now we don’t have the same issues, so you could think of us as sending comments and things by plane. The net result is that from LW you can see what’s happening on Aussie zone in real time, but they can’t see your responses, upvotes, comments, posts, etc for a week.
(It’s caused by issues in Lemmy’s code, not actually because we have a faster connection or anything. It was requested that Nath or lodion implement a fix in the meantime, but they didn’t want to, so it’s going to be like this until that bug is remedied, hopefully soon)

Thanks for the kind words/wishes yesterday, and low for reaching out
I just want to clarify in case I’ve sent the weekly message, I’m okay. Well I’m about 30% okay, but I’ll get through it.
I left because over the last few months I’ve really just felt like a burden pretty much any time I say anything. It’s not entirely because of what I say, but I think more often because I realise that everyone else, whether here or not, has much larger issues, while I’m off complaining about minor things in approximately 7,000 worse per comment. I tried to fix that by cutting down on what I say, how often I’m here, and by trying to help other people when I could, or otherwise try and be openly empathetic (I used to hold off because I thought that “aw I’m sorry such and such is happening to you. Hope it stops happening soon!” sounded too much like a hollow statement, despite finding it very helpful when people would reply to my troubles similarly). But usually I ended up figuring out a way to make it about me, which was pretty awful of me, and I almost deleted my account a few weeks ago when I realised. But I took a little break instead
The break doesn’t seem to have helped, I think I’m just genuinely shit at anything that’s not a 1 sided dialogue. I hate that, and to be honest, kind of despise myself for it. Probably a side effect of not having many friends when I was younger so not developing proper social skills, and being in care for so long, where everything very much is one sided and hollow. But in any case, it’s a deficit that I realise I have, and can’t seem to be able to fix. But I think because of that, I’m not a very good person to interact with, so until I do work it out, I just don’t think I do anyone any good being around here
But I do sincerely appreciate the help and advice everybody here had given me. You are all amazing people, and I’m sorry for the troubles I’ve caused
I’ll be back one day, but I don’t think I should come back until I know I can do better. I actually think that may come naturally once I move out and into an environment more conducive to good mental helath
✌️
