    Can we all just bask in the lovely warm feeling that hanson has zero legal recourse now if you refer to her loudly and publicly as a racist

      There really should be more politicians of a working class background representing the interests of ordinary people… instead we get that. :(

      Also it’s a bit rich for an Aussie to tell anyone to go back where they came from…

        It’s because those Aussies don’t see First Nations as actual real people with rights lol

            Absolutely. The only good things from when I went to Uni was doing the aboriginal languages, and first nations culture. I have a lot of sources I saved to whip out for deniers haha.

            There’s a harrowing recount of a massacre, written by a modern woman as a retort to another bloke who denies the genocides (they’re both academics), and I like to pull that one out for the shock value. I have it available but it’s nsfw

              I once saw an interview on ABC of an old farmer from Gippsland , this was over 30 years ago, where he talks about giving local first nation families sacks of poisoned flour. He talked of finding the dead families, children included. He had no sense of shame or guilt. So the interview is about 40 years old now and the guy was about 80 talking about when he was in his 20s and 30s, so this was maybe 100 years ago, that’s still 20th century.

              This is what it was like, individuals like this evil bastard committing murder.

              I don’t know if there was any organisation by or talk among farmers to commit systematic genocide.

                  I have heard of two instances from the mouths of the perps. The Gippsland one and Northern Territory.

                  It was farmers, always graziers.

                  They would run families away from natural watering holes too, ( who would then of course die of thirst or hunger. ) There is a chapter on that in “We of the Never Never”.

        I haven’t done any in a while. Just spent too much time sick in bed this year, at least 4 months 😔, and the rest of the year was doing big house cleaning and sorting

      You gotta stop giving those drug dealers an upfront payment before getting the goods. Especially if they tell you to desposit it via cashapp or PayPal lol.

      Always cash when buying, and no pre-payment lol

      Nah jokes aside that’s fucked up! Like wtf? And the fact they did it on the weekend when they aren’t open is evil. There isn’t an after hours number you could call? Or something you could do via the online portal? Idk I’m sorry

      Dafuq, what kind of bank locks you out over the weekend??! Surely there’s a way through. People get stuck overseas at all hours AEST…

          That sounds really messed up. How on earth would this be managed if you were overseas?! And with branches being few and far between this really sucks. After the commbank outage recently I’m starting to think it might be beneficial to have accounts with multiple banks as a backup.

          If you were out east side I’d spot you some cash… will you be OK for today and tomorrow?

          Oh man. The hops which they send you through to fix your account is atrocious.

          My one beef is that they keep sliming down branch locations and opening hours and it’s next to impossible to get it fixed at times.

          I hope it’ll be fixed for you soon. Keep us updated!

    One of my neighbours has been playing classical music over the last week or two and it’s just so lovely to go out on the balcony and listen.

    Some opera singers, classical instrumentals shame I know the songs but not the names of them.

    Edit: O Sole Mio!!! That’s it! That’s what my neighbour is playing right now

        It really is so soothing. I think the neighbours playing the classical music might be the two Melbourne famous musicians who live in my building. The lady is a composer and conductor for an orchestra, and the bloke is a semi-well-known jazz sax player. They are so cultured 😭 I’m intimidated lol but they’re extremely down to earth and lovely people tbh

        Yeah, but you’re juggling some manner of complicated health issue - I do not know what, and I’m not going to ask because that’s your business, but you’re very open about the notion that your health is complex.

        The benchmarks might be in different places for you

      Strong! I couldn’t do one now but I went from 0 to 12 in about 9 months a few years back. I know how hard it is! Keep at at it 💪💪💪 Edit: don’t mean to one up you. The first one is the hardest, if you’re at three now it’s going to be easier from here to build.

    Second breakfast was a success. Met with friend/colleague from last job and sat in a cafe playing chess for two hours. Won 2/2 games which is rare, she’s better than me, and the second game was an absolute epic. No blunders, really long and spicy end game. Lots of fun!

    Second batch of soap (the one I messed up and had to re-cook) is now out of the moulds and looking good. Now I just have to wait a couple of months for drying.

    In my dream someone was making breakfast cocktails. Something with blitzed pears.

    My cup of tea is fine, but I could totally go a fancy pear cocktail.

    Super grateful I got the ps5. As much as I love music, the spark isn’t always there.

    Final fantasy rebirth is so good so far!

    I have to admit though, I do find it hard to just relax. This intense need to be productive at all times hangs over my head.

    Saturday morning insight into the weirdness that is my brain:

    • Dream recollection #1: being unable to breathe (scary, I have a feeling of being somewhat aware that I was dreaming but couldn’t quite wake myself up).
    • Dream recollection #2: randomly eating a piece of 5 day old bread.

    How did I even get this far in life?

      Because your brain now remembers it needs to breath and not to eat 5 day old bread! Remember to thank your sleep paralysis demon for the good advice 😊
