My previous account was @dumblederp@aussie.zone I left it because Rowling has turned out to be a pretty shitty person and I don’t want the association.
Mostly I’m just here for idle friendly conversation over shared interests.
I can get caught up in my own stubbornness on some topics.
My friend asked how often I got delivery. “More thna 5, less than 10.” I answered. He was surprised to find out that was my total, ever. Probably just over ten these days, less than 15 for sure.
I grew up poor, am still poor, but my answer to food insecurity is meal prep and bulk buying.
Early to bed. I try to stay up until at least 9pm so I don’t wake up at 3am.
It’s not the high, it’s the strength of the addiction. Nicotine is hard to kick. This has been known about since the English landed at what’s become Virginia in the USA. Tobacco has a long history of being used as an addictive trade good. There’s a great book by Iain Gately - La Diva Nicotina: The Story of How Tobacco Seduced the World. Which covers the history of tobacco.
That said its been easier than ever to get chop chop or even produced smoke than ever before. Same for the disposable vapes, look for a bin covered in security seal stickers and you won’t have to go far to find the shop.
YSK if you talk to a surgeon, they’ll recommend surgery. Whoever you talk to has been trained that their method of treatment is the preferred one. They’re invested in that technique so will push what they’ve been taught.
On this note, I lost contact with a huge number of friends when I deleted my facebook ~15 years ago. Similar for livejournal. I handed out my email address and phone number before I walked away, but people have not used those to contact me at all.
I think people don’t want to put any effort into socialisation. Getting a “feed” is so easy, it feels like you’re connecting with people. You see the comments and likes. But everyone is lonely because they’re not actively interacting, just passively consuming.
While I agree, it’s still the behemoth of information and people discussing things.
It’s always been time to scrap private health cover. Disgusting that it was ever introduced.
They’re great devices. I’m for any legislation that allows the legal public use of them. Ridiculous that I can be trusted with a 1000+ cc motorbike but not a 3kw e-moto.
I still use my banned account. I can sub/unsub, save posts and RES still works in my browser. I just can’t comment, message or report people. Given I was mostly a helpful user with people’s little questions, it’s really their loss.
I mean I enjoyed The Princess Bride, but this is some wild shit.
My DNA says British/Irish, my grandparents say Irish/Scottish and my passport says Australian.
I dismantled it and rebuilt it.
e-bikes and e-motos are great and we need legislation to allow their use.
I can buy a 1000cc motor bike, I’m licensed to ride it, I should be able to buy a 3kw ebike and have some laws to follow which allow for its use.
Masks are going to be so in fashion for this neo dystopia we’re building.
But the initials of GG are great for a champion athlete.
Don’t forget “We’ll fix the housing crisis” but owns six+ houses.
