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.

  • Three weeks is quick. Five months is fine.

    It seems that YOU want to be single though. Which is fine. You seem to finding any reason not to date these guys.

  • I've gone back to Overwatch now that 6v6 is getting enough players in Australia.

    I kind of regret Arc Raiders, I joined because I heard there was Aggression Based Match Making, which there seemed to be the case for the first hundred hours or so. That appears to have been turned off in the last week and I'm just not interested in playing with sweaty Tarkov style players shooting me in the back, nor having to re-craft all my gear every time I get killed.

  • It was an experience for sure. When moving any size grand, you have enough guys to hold up long side with two legs, you remove the legs and lower it onto a piano trolley (a little nugget of a thing with SOLID wheels), then lift it vertical and take the last leg off. Wrap the legs in moving blankets. The MSO tech staff had already removed the pedals. The scariest bit was operating the forklift to lift it onto the stage at the Melbourne Town Hall as it's best done in one motion rather than jerking it. I got it in one. Piano's are pretty tough though for whatever that's worth.

  • I've played one handed chariots of fire on a million dollar grand in hamer hall, and a number of other famous Victorian recital rooms. I asked permission. I was there to deliver and assemble the piano. It's a good test of if it's held it's tune during the move. I saw my once in a lifetime opportunity and grabbed it.

  • Fr. It didn't snap off, it just lifted out of the hole. He'd screwed it at the base to the colourbond plynth. Total fuckwit.

  • Replacing a fence post and finding out that my old neighbour fucked me when he had the side fence replaced. At least that cunt's moved away. Now I need to hire or buy a demo hammer to get through however much concrete he's dumped in the hole. He set the 6ft fence post 6in into the ground. No wonder it failed. Gah useless fuck, this had turned a simple job into a fucking nightmare.

  • Haven't used it yet, not going out of my way to use it.

    All I personally see is the massive amount of cycling infrastructure that could've been had for the same price.

    Jump

  • I stopped talking to my father because he didn't pass on a portion of the inheritance like my grandparents intended. He's a piece of shit in many ways that I was accustomed to but that broke the relationship for me.

  • I agree. That was an early morning insomnia comment. Junk food, tv and masturbation are all fine in moderation but they can easily become a problem for people who are stuck in a mental hole.

  • Quality self-care takes effort. Junk food, TV and masturbation are bad self care. Meditation, yoga, cleaning your space, study for career or philosophy are good self care.
