        That was a regularly recurring example from previous discussions. It was a popular method for the UK porn verification stuff earlier this year. I was never comfortable with it being the only method however. I don’t expect a recovering alcoholic or Muslim to buy a beer for this.

      I’ve begrudgingly given her an earful. Only because it’s you guys.

      She’s lucky she didn’t have to hear about the onion on my belt (which was the style at the time)

          That was actually a fairly astute one. That Molly has been out of the limelight since his bad fall ten years ago. I doubt anyone under sixteen knows who he is.

            Was going to hit Molly with Ian ‘Turps’ Turpie hosting The Price is Right and dating Olivia Newton-John for 5 years from age 19 before splitting up, and Turps going on to do Club Buggery but I might have to explain Roy and HG, which could take a while.

                Reminiscing 80s Australian TV shows is a great choice. Loads of people who were household names 40 years ago but are not really online.

          That’s a good one. Ask her who Plucka Duck or Jofferboy are. Or the Gobbledock. Or Alf. Or Johnny 5. Ask her about the Goggomobil.

          I thought this character was called Molly for a second but no, it’s Kylie Mole. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnuf9-zgdyw

          spoiler

          There was plenty of Molly around at the nightclubs 20 years ago but it didn’t seem appropriate to say that to a 16 year old.

          Mine ultimately ended up being really generic though because I just dashed it off.

            Someone leaked the lists. I don’t think it was a hack. The conversation turned into “why is this random dentist being blocked”? “Who is making these lists”? “How do you get unblocked?” Etc

            The government was half-hearted about the whole thing anyway, only toying with it for Family First. It fizzled after.

    Ok hopefully I have fixed the issue. Thx to studspud the starchy one for her insights. I think issue was that I accidentally signed up through lemmy.world instead of Aussie.zone and there might have been some synching issues. Hope now resolved?

    I’ve heard that sharing your goals can make your less likely to achieve them, but I have a goal. Next year, I want to improve my writing. I got an assignment back that said I was more descriptive than analytical, which is probably a Year 9 English problem, something I should’ve learnt when I was 15. Writing has always been something a source of anxiety. I remember the first essay I had to write under timed conditions in early high school, I had broken down into tears.

    I think solving the procrastination problem, and being more “meta” about my work can help with this. Also asking for help. I think when academic skills reopens, I’ll ask them how I can improve.

    Reading up some more and cats are very sensitive to fumes from even odourless mineral spirits, which are also really flammable… I could try to work outside but bubs would fuss and I’m still not confident in the disposal issue.

    Perhaps I should first just use paint from the tube and try cleaning brushes with vegetable oil followed by soap and water.

    And find somewhere safe to keep these flammable bottles in Summer :/ /paranoid

        Yeah, my anxiety is just going crazy. Stupid because I used to use turps to clean brushes back when I stripped and repainted furniture (when I was more able bodied) and nothing happened but I don’t like taking chances.

        I wish I had a shed with an extraction fan, or enough room to paint outside with Melbcat in a big comfortable cat run nearby
