Reporting in.
3 hours sleep last night for no fun reason.
Utterly wrecked today.
Hello ipad, pirated PC games and my guitar.
Also the cat.
Some teenagers beat up and actually killed a guy at our local train station. Of course all the Facebook comments are about machetes, making sure they get tried as adults, and whether they’re out on bail already.
I’d like to know whether the attack was random or if they knew the guy. We’ve almost made it illegal for kids to be online or outside, so what do people expect them to do? The only people who care about what kids are up to are people who hate them and don’t want to see kids anywhere. If only we had some larger social project kids could feel like a part of
That’s horrific. But I really really really don’t agree with the explanation for murder being because someone was banned from social media or didn’t play outside enough, so of course they’re gonna go murdering?! You’re right about one thing though, these kids are growing up in families where no one cares about them. The parents are disinterested in what the kid is doing socially, where they are at 3am on a Tuesday, if they are doing ok in school, if the 10 knives and 3 machetes the kid has in their bedroom seems normal. The kids themselves are motivated by approval of their peers, kudos, and no repercussions. I don’t know what the answer is.
How dare they be young in public! No good will come of this! /s
I do agree that some kind of social project would be helpful - sport and religion used to do this function, but nowadays religion has been hijacked by extremists (of all kinds) and is no longer even geographically inclusive, and sport is either too ‘professional’ or is too much bother/expense to be inclusive. There really isn’t an obvious forum of endeavour for those that aren’t ‘good at sport’ or whatever.
My thesis is that the most addictive drug in the whole universe is - excellence. Once experienced, nothing else comes close. I fully endorse mobilizing community resources to find forums of endeavour that allow nearly everybody to experience excellence in some form or another.
Imagine being the first homo sapien to pat a wolf?
There is a human, long deceased and who’s name is lost to time, who got to be the first to pay a dog.
And to all those that thought it would be fun to pat a sabre tooth, poisonous frog, giant bears etc, the gene pool thanks you for your service.
Nowadays, fast cars, meth and firearms are doing quite a good job in weeding a lot of non-viable idiots out of the gene pool. Especially in combination.
Imagine losing your arm to a wolf, then a few thousand years of selective breeding your ancestor loses a toe to an aggressive inbred pug.
Edit:
My mum tells me that back in the day, you would just go out with someone consistently and it automatically became a relationship. There was no “are you seeing other people?” or “put a label on it” talk. Seems a lot simpler.
All I know with this guy I’m seeing is that we are enjoying each others’ company and are not seeing other people. It feels too soon to call him my partner.
If it feels too soon, then it is too soon. All will become clear in time. Meanwhile, enjoy each other’s company. And don’t stress about labels.
Yes :)
I;m going into brunnie and the italian supermarket , is there anything anyone wants
Interesting shapes of pasta please
Cheeses please
Cannoli…!
Can I please get some chinotto and cold cuts?
I have managed to go out and get fed and get supplies so I can shelter in place the rest of the weekend. I live right on Albert Park lake and it’s madness everywhere, and very noisy
I could hear the noise when I was at the beach, the sound echoed over the water
Feeling blah today. Still, second load of washing is on so that’s something. I’m pep talking myself into tackling the folding basket.
How much would you pay for this big breakfast?
Answer
$22 at my local Vietnamese joint. Such good value.
Agree that’s great value. These days it’s standard to pay $25 for avocado toast that comes with 1 slice of bread, some greying avocado and 1 egg. Oh, and don’t forget the 4 sprigs of micro herbs on top and a half teaspoon smear of beetroot relish on the plate which is useless to scrape up onto the food.
It pays to live in a povo suburb. This place is an absolute gem.
didn’t see the snozzage, $20
Where sauce?
On the table. This was before it got smothered in hot sauce.
Nice
Such good value
You don’t think so?
It’s been a while since going out for brekkie for me so can’t comment lol. Looks good though :)
I’m in no condition to be cooking a hot meal on Saturday morning so if someone wants to cook me a breakfast I’ll pay anything. This wasn’t mine btw. This was mine.
mr seagoon’s fave brekkie
I’ll take your one
stayed up late, had a bit of sleep in
I’m allowed to have a long weekend too!

Something that’s quick, easy, healthy, fresh, and filling please.

I’ve spent all day sleeping and lying in the dark. I just don’t want to be awake.
so many hugs
sometimes grief is like that
I was thinking about buying a few more food storage containers and somehow ended up ordering a cutlery set instead.
I wanna get glass or stainless for meal prep storage but haven’t found anything I like. Ikea has glass but it reviewed badly on Oz bargain.
Glass more practical if you plan to microwave straight in the container. Stainless is lighter and won’t break if you drop it. Dilemmas!
Kmart has a range of glass containers that I quite like. The lids are weird with a little pop up button and you CAN’T open the container until you pop up the button. Found that out the hard way.
First!!!
