Everytime 😭
Yup 😒
Little peace accords between species this morning. Someone hangs out a seed mix that's the neighbourhood buffet breakfast
Multicultural Melbourne ♥
I heard what I can only assume was an ibis warbling, sort of like a magpie, coming out of the cemetery lake colony this morning.
Fun fact: Rainbow Lorikeets can live for 30 years!
Omg that is an amazing photo!! The one male house sparrow being eyed off by the lorikeet 😂
I love pigeons, legit my favourite bird. I just love their shape, their cute coos, and how funny they look when the males try to dance for the females.
😂
I’m back with pizza!
Looks like pineapple and some green capsicum and something leafy.
The banana is hiding underneath.
Yuck! Banana should never be within 5km of a pizza!
🤮
Well, the crust looks pretty nice. And the cheese
All in all it was pretty nice.
I was happy with it all things considered.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Night.
Night night!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Night
Cried for like the first 1.5 hours of my work day. Awesome.
Oh no. 😔
Sending you a nice warm hug 🫂
Thank you <3
so many gentle hugs
Thank you <3
How are you doing now? I hope the day managed to be a bit kinder to you after this morning. Please feel free to vent in here if you think it might help.
Thanks. It's tough because I know that I really just need to get a new job. I'm not cut out for this one and that's okay, but I keep fighting it which is just detrimental to myself.
Staying up laaaaate because fuck it, why not? I'm and adult, I'm allowed to relax with no commitments tomorrow!
In fact... I'm going to have chocolate ice cream.
🍿🥤
👀👀👀
Earlier I was going to go out to buy some coffee on half price.
Walked out the door dressed up and gave up and went back in.
Having of those days today.
Nearly called it a mental health day from the shower this morning. It’s deffo going around!
Grappling with extreme anxiety attacks lately. Just taking it day by day and trying to arrest the doom spiralling and catastrophizing.
Great way to lose weight though.
Hang in there mate. I've had a shit time recently too. Day at a time is the way to go. As banal as it sounds, recognising the doom spiralling and catastrophising is an important step towards trending back to a stable state. You got this
Thank you, appreciate that.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be normal and well adjusted. Truly envy people like this.
I’m sorry bro. Right there with you
I'm trying to update my bank account details on my work's payroll software and it's not letting me do it. So I sent an email to payroll, and almost signed it off with "Retards" instead of "Regards". Just one of those days.
I planned on a nice relaxing day today but the man is here and it's hard to relax with the energizer bunny hopping around asking if there's anything I'd like him to do. Yes, go outside and don't come back for a really long time. I know that's mean and I know I'm lucky but he's been bopping around since 8 am and I'm tired watching him now.
Teach him to use the vacuum cleaner ... he'll find something to do real quick.
He already went to do that and I said no. He's currently outside cleaning the fan.
send him over here, we got lawns that need mowin' and our resident ADHD is off taking his referral diagnosis to a gp to refer him a psychologist who can approve his referral and refer him back to a GP to prescribe meds
Make him do the cooking and clean up.
I dug (another) hole!
This one will be dedicated to potat and only potat. Should be twice as big hopefully by the end.
Was also about to start the chillo patch on the left there (which looks awful for now). Not stressed have a month to sort that. Disconnected the water but apparently I left it on and it went off just as my head was right near the drip line was aimed at my face.
I sounded like thisIt's my birthday in a month.
It's rare that I'm excited for it, but for the moment, Im looking forward to it.
Also, tuna pasta sauce doesn't last as long as I thought, as I found out today...
When Mickey is dozing on my chair he is always in the mood for kisses. He starts purring like a tractor when I kiss his belly, and he starts rolling over more to make sure I kiss it all. It's the only time I can touch his tummy without losing an appendage; hands and arms are absolutely no go, only face!
Pic of him rolled over after I kissed his whoooole tummy, I stop when he stops purring 👀 I'm not gonna push him with my eyes so close to his claws lol
fluffy belly boi
The best stress relief is found by burying your face in cat belly and breathing in deep.
If that is not an option, I find cat flank to be reasonably effective as well. Especially if said cat is purring
Laneway Festival ticket acquired. Friend and her friends got some too! So now we are going together as a big group and I have something to look forward to :)
Linux sysadmin horror story
I did the thing....the
rm -rf *thing in the wrong directory😱
Did not take out the server but did take out one of those legacy Cron jobs that's been running for years but no-one quite remembers how it works and it turns out it was not being backed up (that was a fun additional realisation) and kinda sorta really important.
Eek.
Just spent the last few hours surgically reinstating the code from and out of date backup.
Fingers crossed.
New manager at work has a macaw! She showed me lots of bird pics. <3
beautiful birds but soooo fucking obnoxious
Train issues. Catch an uber. Driver gets out at every traffic light to stretch.
Interesting.
Car seat doesn't fit/badly adjusted. Back issues consequent on that.
Car version of stopping at every station.
People are strange.
Before Uber we used to have real taxi drivers that had those roller bead things hanging on their seats
Second big thing done for the week, finishing up at one job. While I know it was the best choice for everyone there is certainly a feeling of sadness/loss. I'm going to try walk some of it off and let it flow through.
After uni tomorrow my next biggest things for the week are (a) ramping up the rental search, (b) massive cleaning on weekend
E: walk done, sweat exuded, shower and OMITB and dinner and early sleep tonight I think. Uni library first thing tomorra
A dude just got on the train with a 6 pack of beer and a huge pizza. Tempted to offer a trade for an iPhone 13, the smell is incredible!!
Did you know one third of the risk of developing GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) is genetic? Yet another reason for me to not reproduce.
But, 0% chance of passing on any disorders to a cat. And fluffy friends definitely make the world better.
Brilliant observation!
I'm counting down until we find out what the mystery pizza is
patience is a virtue 🍕❔
Wanted to import the discussion about this address from the other place.
https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-toorak-146320444
It's super nice but no way it's worth $50M+ right? It's not even in the part of the Yarra where you could go for a swim.
In the description...
"a wonderful sense of understated opulence". Err that's not understated.
Whilst I like to see what crazy houses bigly huge money can get you.. you'd need an army of people for the upkeep with something like that.
The entry is so grey and dull. The terrace though with the pool, wow. And all those windows.
Just Googled most expensive house sale in Melbourne, $52m. This is a nice house overall but most expensive ever in Melbourne? I dunno.
The entry is so grey and dull.
I think they went too "safe" with the colour scheme since this was renovated for sale. The grey is a bad choice.
That doesn't look like a home to me.
Little bit exorbitant innit? I like the tucked away privacy parts of it but imagine trying to clean it. Or get from one side to the other, not to mention stairs.
Also I could never afford that and don’t think anything should cost that much. If I could afford it I’d probably take somewhere more modest and help others out with the remainder
Or rent rooms out cheap to friends
ugh, it's awful.
hardly any bedrooms or bathrooms.
also, for that money you could get something really nice in Manhattan, and guess what, it's in Manhattan and not Melbourne
Oh that reminds me. The pigeon babies left the nest. both seemed to survive ok. But before I could trim the damn hedges another pigeon moved in and laid some eggs. Damn things are like tribbles.
Ok I’m tracking now. It’s like the minutes of last meeting in the title. The mystery pizza.
There must be at least couple common ingredients that they always have leftover, but then it depends on the pizza joint as well and the longevity of the ingredients. Hmm tricky.
Although anchovies probably aren’t regularly requested, they do keep well so I’m guessing they won’t be a topping.
I can’t think of any pizza I would turn my nose up at though.
What about a pick up order that was never picked up?
At first I was like, “What crazy person does that?!” and then I realised yeah, people have heart attacks and die before the pizza is ready.
So yeah kinda sad now.
I’ll be the one picking up the mystery pizza.
I’ve been thinking about it and only god knows what they’ll throw into it. It could be totally vegetarian as well and all those leftovers for all I know.
I only hope it doesn’t end up with chillies or eggplants and I’ll be ok I reckon.
I will report back when I pick it up later tonight.
I can't wait to move back to the inner city. It's so isolating here. Like, I'm the only person here in a weird way.
I don't see anyone often except for the train in the morning. Or the supermarket.
So lifeless.
I have to wait if/until I pass probation.
Make sure you've had a look at the rental prices in the inner city while you're at it...
It's actually only slightly more expensive than what I pay here. I'm in a house, and happy to move to an apartment.
Miss Seagoon also found Melton quite isolating, she couldn't wait to get back to Carlton even if our apartment was cramped.
New glasses ordered and paid for. Fuck they weren't cheap :(
With private insurance, I get a ~$200/yr annual allowance. Curiously, some optometrists have sales of glasses for ~$200. Pure coincidence, I'm certain.
Anyway, I effectively get glasses for free (I don't, private health insurance is expensive) and was browsing on the weekend for something I don't actually desperately need because that allowance expires in 8 weeks.
gotta order new sunnies. i think it was 1k last time just for the lenses! Guarantee you when I finally order the sunnies my damn prescription will change again as well!
No, you may not draw a dick on your council ballot paper…
yes you can, and as long as its filled out correctly it will still count.
the only concern is if you want to send some poor ballot counter a medieval unsolicited dick pic
No men on my ballot this year so I feel the joke would be a bit wasted.
Possums scrambling at top speed along the fence… they sound like a herd of elephants
Busy busy day tomorrow 🙂🙂🙂 , will have to make a list
Someone is eating corn on the cob above Thornbury - Marge style rain falling.
Nothing out here south of you so far, but the humidity is definitely building up.

Hmm cheese and ham toastie for me today please.
🧀🍖🥪
not sure if anxious or excited, I've been getting dirt roaded for so long I've lost the ability to tell the difference. So I'm distracting myself designing suction cup hangers for our shampoop scalp massagers, I'm sick of seeing His Lordship's migrate across the bathroom. Very schmick if I say so myself.
Some western vic rain headed out way, probably a while but if your laundry is dry get it in.
It seems to be gingerly avoiding Ballarat and arcing towards Colac instead...
Looks big too. I wonder if Woolies insurance will let me know after the big dump or not at all.
Such a lovely day, I think I'll spend much of it working in the little garden. 🙂🌹🌲
Also, what the with the weather forecast?
irrationally angry I cannot get goodies soundtrack on anything but shitty LP qual. It had some absolute bangers.
yum yum! The very best of The Goodies flac on limetorrents.cc low/no seeds so it'd probably take a week.
There's copies of the actual LP on discogs for not unreasonable prices.
Share market seems to be up today - although when the value of your shares has hit rock bottom up is pretty much all that's left! Although my worst performer is just sitting there with it's 87% loss, it's not even worth the cost of selling at this point. I might be able to recoup enough for a sandwich, as long as it's a cheap one from the lunch truck and nothing fancy.
I decided to dip the toes into ETFs last December, using the Superhero app. Mix of Aussie and US, i just add money to my account any month i have any left over to do so, ill put some in savings and some into the ETF account. Probably looking at about 10% increase across the board when i hit the 1 year mark which has been nice. Your worst performer reminds me of much of my crypto, not worth the hassle of trading or withdrawing out!!
I had some fun with penny stocks that dissolved. Legit no idea what happened. Only a few hundred, but I could have used it for plenty of other more enjoyable things.
I think if the company winds up you just lose the money. I also had one company that did a buy-back of small parcels of shares which you had to opt out of if you wanted to keep the shares. Another was bought out by an overseas company - which was actually nice, I made a 50% profit in just over 12 months. I wish I'd bought more than $200 worth of that one!
I've been learning a lot about how the market works, but I definitely prefer funds than individual stocks. But buying a few stocks for $200 has taught me a lot about how everything works. I lost a lot of the value almost straight away, but I have gained most of the losses back over the last couple of years - if things continue as they are I look like I might actually start to make a profit longer term, so things are not as bad as they looked initially.
I really need to change my address to DDT fam, hehe.
Well, fam, has anyone stored their Oodie or similar in a vac bag? Was it okay?
Seems I think my council boundaries have changed or something.
I have a whole 2 candidates on my ballot paper.
Well this should be easy.
My Council has changed to have many individual local wards, I have three candidates, last year there were two. It used to have a system where you voted for all the candidates in the entire Council area, and the top group got in.
To be honest I don’t remember much about council elections.
I don’t even remember how many were up for election the last time we had them.
question: We have a ziplock bag we put spam tins in in the fridge as we eat them, is it die spammenbäg, der spammenbäg or das spammenbäg?
Eine spammenbäggen, zwei spammenbäggen, spammenbäggen für alle.
"bag" is feminine in gender in Deutsch - granted they are talking about 'die Tasche' not 'spammenbag' as above. My personal opinion is 'die spammenbag' would be correct as it encompasses the likely effect as well as the noun. Who says you can't pun in German.
Can anyone see me?
Likely the lag between lemmy.world and Aussie zone. I can see your comments no worries, but there was a post months ago saying it takes up to 7 days for Aussie and world instances to sync.
thank you ,
Hi everybody. I have a new id. Just trying to shake off a virus.
Hello?
If I can't post yet then I can't start the next daily thread
