Bot #001 appologises for any inconvenience caused by the incorrect day name in the original post, and undertakes to commence retraining on names of the day immediately.
I just have to actually celebrate myself, my friend let slip at dinner that my ex has a girlfriend and has for a while and I'm not sad or hurt about it at all. Which is HUGE. I'm so fucking proud of the progress I've made emotionally.
Second last day of stress leave today, think I'll remain in my jammies and lounge about doing whatever takes my fancy.
If we’re doing pups, here is Procrastidog the other day. He’s the sweetest little boy and is so chuffed to have me home again. He crawled onto my yoga mat this morning while I was doing a forward fold so he could be closer to my hands to pat him 😍
Someone was complaining on reddit about this thread being in some sort of competition with them to have more comments. So this puts us one more ahead of them. As you were, I'll get my coat.
Also my void has a leak and eyes.
Image is of a big black kitten with a white patch on their stomach.I can't get over this photo. It's like kitty has thieved Santa's mo and won't give it back. So cute.
Isn't she lovely! My void also has a leak, all the way along her belly. It's longer than the rest of her fur too.
Can we outlaw the song Achy Breaky Heart as background music in the supermarket? Or anywhere really.
I just don't think you understand
Seconded
I just don't think it would understand
Okay so I've ranted before on the old DT about my boss and the blowups we've had earlier in the year. My annual review is supposed to be in 10 days. I've been thinking of how to approach it and negotiate pay vs hours etc and provide feedback on where things are going and what my role still is in the firm.
But this is the fire under my arse I definitely will use to get me motivated to move the fuck on. No more ms. nice_kitten. Next opportunity I get, I'm gone. I don't care if it's well before the end of the year and it's crunch time. I'm going where I'll be appreciated - either in terms of support, genuine progression, or money.
Your boss sounds very emotionally immature I feel for ya.
It;s tough when people's moods cloud the reality staring at them. It's even more tough when that happens only some of the time.
Thanks man. I know there's plenty of bosses like this and sometimes part of the job is to learn to manage your own boss and characters like that. But I sure as hell am not being paid enough to do that on top of my regular work. I've got way more interesting and worthwhile challenges I could be spending me time on
Or they know exactly how to screw with employees with low self esteem. Sometimes they know exactly what they're doing.
You deserve better than this a**hole definitely gtfo there as soon as an opportunity arrives. My bosses are incompetent, but at least they're nice people you can approach about anything.
My sympathies. Sounds like many solo business owners I've had the displeasure to meet. If you aren't being valued, you're perfectly justified jumping ship.
I’m sorry to hear what your boss has done to you today Kitten. His conduct is unbecoming and he doesn’t seem to see the good in what you do.
I hope you’ll be ok and that you’re able to sort things out for the better and for your own health and well-being.
Please look after yourself and let us know if we can help you with anything.
I told speedkitty (my cats evil personality) not to sprint up and down the hallway when people are still asleep. He looked at me blankly for a second as if to say “cat go brrrrrt!” Before dropping into the slipstream and tearing down the hall with sonic booms following in his wake. Asshole.
Speedkitty ain't got time for your shit
Exactly! When time and space are no longer obstacles I guess he feels as an almost god it’s ok to just ignore me.
Time to go to bed, and hopefully my headache will be gone in the morning.
I have run the bot through final instructions and insisted that all post titles are pre-approved, so hopefully there will not be a repeat of the 2nd Wednesday fiasco. It's on probation until it shows it understands how the day names work properly. Fingers crossed for a third successful post.
Hope you feel better tomorrow 🤞
“Breath. Don’t take it personally. Don’t get upset cause it really ain’t your problem if they have impossible standards. So long as your happy with the work you do and you’ve communicated the challenges” repeat a few times till you feel like like throwing your laptop out the window and walking out.
Hang in there!
I 100% needed this today, just rage ate my lunch after a very shitty morning and your comment has helped me calm down a bit
So we have landscapers here at the moment to help us finish the backyard and lay some turf. They have the radio on, playing B52's Love Shack at a decent volume, and one of them is singing his own lyrics. "Gonna need a chiro cos my backs fuuuuucked". "Every body moving, everybody grooving to the Buffalo, buffalo baby!".
I am trying so hard not to audibly laugh. I think they forget I'm inside and can hear them.
I was having this kind conversation with the baby the yesterday. I read it’s important to talk and let them respond. But I ran out of shit to say so I just started talking to talk nonsense. “You want me to call who? Nah bud he’s busy. Being the president. Yes of America. No you don’t want to speak to him either. Why not? Because he is a dictator losing a war. Who? A reunion tour? I doubt it bud. Because posh is a snob that’s why! Who? Abba? Yeah look fair point I didn’t see that coming either”
Love it! I bet Bub was upset Posh was a snob.
The sun is so beautiful today. Feels like I haven’t seen it in 2 weeks.
How it does cheer up a day when it’s out and makes everything so much brighter and cheerful!
I hope everyone enjoys the day!
Today's the last day of the week for me! Off to gippy tomorrow, but unfortunately someone decided to turn the trains into buses, so I'll be one of the 6 train carriages of people getting on a single bus half the size of one carriage for 4 and a half hours on Sunday, but I'm just hoping it's a bit warmer out that way than it is here!
Cmon El Nino, give us a spectacular weekend!
Jumping on the doggo bandwagon
Deserves a promotion as far as I'm concerned.
Corner office with a bigger bed?
He got a promotion at his sunday morning job, went from Intermediate to Proficient. Comes with an earlier start time though...
Haha that is a beautiful photo.
I love it when they’re oblivious to how to look while sleeping.
Or hardly working? Beautiful pic.
It's a tough job, but some puppy's gotta do it.
Toby looking guilty after he ripped his bunny's eyes off.
Small dog in a large dog bed with his very loved pink toy bunny.
One defaced pre-loved pink toy bunny.
Toby has become death, the destroyer of bunnies :)
I love citrus season. The imperial mandarins right now are so good. Hopefully some good blood oranges will come in in the next couple months too.
Agreed and we need it after the summer fruit season was so bland and meh. Hardly got anything good..
Except for mah feijoas they were fricken rad this year
Tooth extraction done and went smoothly, aside from needing an extra dose of anaesthetic (but that's generally the case).
Home safely and have crawled into bed for a rest, if not a nap.
Day 12 of exercise program. A rest day today. Not for work however, I've got lasagna sheets to make and plenty of 'em! At some point I've got to launder some towels (ugh, where do they all bloody well come from?).
Have a great day everyone!
Noooooo I dropped my fried egg on the floor as I was moving it onto my bread.
:(
My last egg too.
5 second rule.
yup, and rinse under tap
In these times it's 10.
I wished the 5 second rule could have saved this
Did you eat it??
No :(
rookie mistake, bring your plate to the pan, not the egg to plate
hugs
Yeah. Big rookie mistake. :(
Woke up at 6am to pee and then decided I better stay awake, cause if I sleep and fall into a deeper sleep then waking up at 7 will be a nightmare. Contemplating a 20 minute Power Nap though.
I hate this. I wake up, won’t sleep again thinking it’s too close to alarm. So I check time.
Best case it’s 3 or 4, perfect. Relax and back to sleep.
Worst case 30–40 mins before wake up. Sleep impossible now.
Yes!! I knew if I fell back asleep I'd struggled to wake up again, so I just stayed awake. Lol. But hated every moment of it.
Been so meh these last couple of weeks. The same again today after work. It’s like… I don’t know… I just want to do nothing.
But… pulled my finger out for self-care Thursdays which has been hit and miss, but a good hit today. Still loving on the Aesop scrub I mentioned I while back. I’ve cleansed, scrubbed and put a face mask on. (I fully look like such a weirdo, my face is kind of bank robber material right now… 🤣)
So while I’m sitting here basting my face, a curious q (as I do), has anyone read any books or have any book recommendations for people who a) suck at meditation b) really struggle with positive affirmations and the like… (like find it [the language] a bit ick?). You know, for an eternal pessimist with a broken anterior cingulate.
It’s this weather. We’re all getting seasonal depression. Not enough sunshine and Vit D tablets is only good to a degree. I too feel bleh most days
meditation is not for everyone , it doesn't mean you suck at it
and I suggest you write your own affirmations eg "I am the type of person who ....." 'I am the type of person who does not ..."
That's what I do.
Thanks Seagoon. I guess before I decide something is really not for me, I try to dive a little into the why. I do have one sort of meditative app I listen to sometimes. I find myself so picky with sound and voices etc. and while I can sit quietly… I don’t know, sometimes I wonder if just sitting somewhere in nature and just observing is kind of meditative, too? (I’m still working on the affirmations thing, but I like the sound of what you wrote. Thanks so much.)
Meditation takes practice. It's not just something you're good or bad at, it's a skill, and you need to work at it to improve - pretty much everyone will suck at it to start
Not about positive affirmations, but insight meditation. Strong recommendation for mindfulness in plain English
I'm not much of a meditative person either, but being a busy mum and carer I've felt a need for time out. I've started attending a sound meditation at my local community centre, and while it's taken a few goes to get the hang of it, I've just come from there all blissed out after tonight's session. Now don't get me wrong, the ummmms and the ommmms and all the talk of Venus and cancer goes a bit far for me but meditation is a personal thing.
I don't know much about sam harris, but this is a no bullshit meditation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5oIEKjMdmA&ab_channel=EverythingisEverything I too dislike the woo angles of a lot of yoga, meditation and mindfulness stuff. Each to their own, but it breaks the sense of peace I get from guided meditation.
A friend taught me a simple breath exercise, which you can do anytime, be aware of how your lungs behave of course, but she said, 5 in 9 hold and 7 out. Which are arbitraty measures of time you count in your head. I try and count seconds, but it's more important you do it and not feel like you're struggling at any stage so go at your own pace obviously.
Quick! Go outside and get as much vitamin d as you can, while it lasts
beautiful sunrise, volcano pink and purples, I can see stars, the air is cool, a slight breeze blows, it smells good and fresh , the birds are singing 😊 ( currawong, "I will eat your babies" , thrush, "fuck off and die you baby killer" )
@bot001 Swapping the cold Melbourne today for some warmth up north. Call me a traitor. But I'll be back. Can't handle the heat for too long and gotta cool my head eventually.
If you could please send some warm down here for the rest of us that would be great.
I'm going to Cairns in 40 daaaayyyssss ☀️
@jezbeenz enjoy! It's so nice and warm over here that the thought of moving north crosses my mind every time I come up.
Maybe when I retire 👴
Dinner tonight is large bowl of fried rice with egg and Chinese sausage aka lap cheong and sweet and sour soup. Yum
Nice. I'm a touch jealous. I went the roast veg and chicken drumstick route.
Chicken drumsticks are the best. I’d give anything for them right now!
Yours is far more healthier if that helps a little
I have never had this. It seems like something that would be much better home made than from a cafe.
My mum is an excellent cook
But also I think if you can find an authentic place I’m sure a restaurant could make a good meal
Yum yum!
Chinese sausage tastes so good. Been ages since I’ve had any.
I’m the one that enjoys it the most in my family 😅
yessss
Taste soooooooooo delicious
Sounds yummy! What's in a sweet and sour soup?
Having a look now, thank you for the suggestion! 💜 💜
That’s an incredibly justified vent. 🖤
Hoping it comes your way despite the delay 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Anyone find that retailers are not picking up phones anymore (goes straight to voicemail or hangs up)? These are large retailers like kmart too. I feel like this started happening after the pandemic. Or is it just me?
I suspect retailers have taken advantage of the "great reset" that the pandemic kinda was.
Jacked up prices, dramatically tightened returns policies in their favour, never brought back rainchecks, cut back customer service staff etc. etc.
I think you're right. I haven't looked closely at return policies but yeah I think it hurts because they were quite generous during the pandemic.
I remember ringing a Typo one time and their phone was dead so I rang another close to them and the girl was like yeah they haven't paid their phone bill so the service is cut (because the shop's been closed during shutdown) I've often wondered if some retailers just left it and never reconnected their phone
Your call is very important to us.
Not even mate. Just leave a message. Beep. How rude is that.
Even Bot #001 doesn't have time for anyone :(
Sorry, but all their operators are currently busy...
Today's to do list:
Wrangle cat into carrier for vet visit ✅️
\
Roast coffee beans
\
Do some study for my gardening course
\
Do some actual gardening while the weather is ok
\
Second walkies
You forgot 'seek first aid for the scratches and wounds incurred as you tried to wrangle the cat into the carrier'
Ask me how I know 😐😁
Miss Meow is apparently much easier to wrangle than your cat, I have successfully returned wound free.
Stretching on the balcony in the sun after the dog walk this morning was so nice. I then had a cuddle with the dog & watched the clouds wash over the sky. So meditative.
It’s so nice outside. I might sit in the sun for a bit with a coffee and listen to something outside.
I'm too tired to journal properly tonight. It's been a busy day but I managed to squeeze in a 6k walk and a quick trip to the op shop which landed me a gorgeous full length blue paisly skirt.
I'll leave it up for now, unlike Reddit the title can be changed.
Time for bed.
Feeling very bleh today. A bit headachy and unable to focus, so study did not get done. I made some changes to the bot so the days should be right, then tried to do a test post and it wouldn't work. Just about had a nervous breakdown before I realised I was not using 24 hour time. I'm going to leave off looking at the pinning issue until my brain can function properly.
It wouldn’t be half as fun if it worked properly. Thanks for taking the initiative and putting in the effort.
It’s been a really long time because I’ve just been too busy and stressed. But I’m getting the urge to bake.
I’m now taking suggestions. I’m thinking a bread of some kind and a shareable dessert bake for visiting a friends house for dinner on Sunday 🤔
Italian orange bread
Ooh. I haven’t made this one before. Adding this to my master list of breads to bake
Toblerone cheesecake is usually a winner.
Haven't made it in ages.
This sounds absolutely delicious. Putting it on the shortlist.
Banana bread, can’t go wrong unless someone’s allergic to bananas
A large tray of sticky date pudding. Plus a jug of butter scotch sauce to go with
Croissants maybe? And an apple & rhubarb crumble for dessert. Just the weather for it. Or an apple clafoutis ... dead easy and delicious.
I have the urge to bake croissants so badly. BUT I got the Lune cookbook for Christmas and I’ve not had a chance to try their recipe yet. It’s a 3 day minimum bake, so I’m making myself hold out a few more months until the PhD is done and I don’t have responsibilities so that I can set aside an entire weekend to do them.
A clafoutis sounds like a delicious idea actually. I could make mini ones and take some in to my nan in respite care.
Oh yasss! You know I’m your baking groupie!
On Everyday Gourmet show I saw a chocolate Bavarian pie from Beatrix Bakes chef. Looked so good. I have put it onto my endlessly growing to-bake list. https://everydaygourmet.tv/recipes/chocolate-bavarian-pie Buuut, it’s winter so a hot dessert might be better. Maybe a lemon delicious, or brownies heated up,or apple pie. All with icecream of course.
i wasn't pissy about my inspection today but now it's ludicrously nice outside and i would have been able to jump a v-line out to the country somewhere.
e: forgot, in day-making news i went to the market this morning and a little staffy came running out of a random shop to plant itself on my feet and demand pats and scratches. it got SO many
I was pissy that I had to go into the office this morning for what turned out to be a nothing so now I'm taking revenge and basking in the sun
prime basking conditions! inspection just completed, basking commencing
Wow it just got crazy dark here in Richmond with some ominous clouds! Makes me wanna sleeeeeep
That sounds bad. I'm glad I got second walkies in already,
I can see it rolling in out my office windows, and I have washing on the line at home. RIP me
yup, the clouds have just come in
Seagoon's Movie review.
Ready Player One. "This is the story of an ordinary little boy named Wade Watts. He was not faster, or stronger or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well connected. In fact they barely had enough to eat. Yet Wade Watts was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet. "
The book is terrible. I got super gross incel vibes from it when I read it 5 or so years back.
My partner wanted to watch this with me because they loved the book. And I felt so bad because I was shitting on it. Like they realised how shit it was so it wasn't like I was rude the whole time.
I just hate the female character she's like "I'M SO UGLY!" yet she's conventionally attractive with a birth mark. Get over yourself. Also Wade sucks too. I've watched YouTube videos about the sequel and Jesus Christ Wade sucks even more.
the worst thing about it is they do absolutely nothing with the "rebellion" plot line. Seriously, all I can think that makes sense is they named their squat rebellion. There was no danger, no build up of tension, no tangible Us vs Them, no reason given why people played virtual reality games instead of making a real life community that houses and feeds people, nothing to rebel against..
We posting doggos? Alright then...
Dog or Highland Cow calf?
I made spicy airfryer chickpea snacks for tonight's cricket match.
They are quite good. I just need to play around with the spices.
Image of spicy airfried chickpeas in a bowl.
Got curious and ran through the tax refund calculator. I forgot that I’m juuust on the cusp of Medicare levy surcharges being payable which is going to mean that I owe.
Has me wondering how the fuck single people manage to make any headway. I’ve put off going to the dentist so I can keep going to therapy, try to stretch things as much as I can, but paying the levy is still cheaper than any private health insurance. It’s at a point where I catch myself wondering when the dog will be old enough to kick the bucket and free up a substantial amount each month. Fuuuck.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 16C? World’s ending, quick get your last minute fun in before the world goes bye bye (yes I’m purposefully being over dramatic)
ID: 7 day forecast for Melbourne, Australia from BoM
Marks for consistency, I guess
That'll do Bot, that'll do.
God knows I shouldn't be reheating leftovers twice but whatever man.
My approach to this has always been we didn't evolve over millions of years just to die from twice reheated food
Thanks. That shall be my mantra whenever I reheat food more than once.
I 🎵
I live among the creatures of the night 🎶
so busy today. late finish and couldnt really be bothered cooking, so broccoli, pesto and chilli soup with garlic-y croutons from the freezer it is (fresh croutons).
want to watch the cricket but will probably end up falling asleep on the couch, giving myself an old lady stiff neck/back for work tomorrow.
in good news, soup was delicious.
Finally made it to ACMI with the kids today, wow I can't believe I've never been there before! One of the best museum experiences I've had, we all loved it. Then hit up Minotaur for a squiz and finished at sushi train for a bite. Great day out 👍
Little Bastard Hair
Got bumfluff all over my face,
\
The tiny hairs are pale and thin.
\
Though in one particular place,
\
A rebel will sprout upon my chin.
Darker and thicker than all of its mates,
\
Growing long when I forget it's there.
\
A careless caress, I'm filled with hate,
\
Rip it out, curse it, that evil hair.

So close, bot 😂❤️
It tried 😂😂 BotBot really channelling that MoonMoon energy
Yay bot! Nearly there ⭐️
Wow I just saw some sun! Might go get myself a bit if natural vitamin D before it turns grey again.
Anyone else contemplating N95 masks and air purifiers ahead of this likely El Niño summer? Not sure whether they help much.
Also good lord these antibiotics I'm on make my saliva taste bitter and metallic.
Current word is it could be bad but because ground moisture levels are elevated it won't likely be catastrophic like a few summers ago..
The summer after though...
Yea that's my intuition too, not hot enough for long enough for dead material to dry out.
I still have some respirators from the last bushfires. Good point about the air purifiers. Dunno where I'll be this summer though otherwise I'd definitely consider getting one
I hope the bot reposts Taco Tuesday tomorrow. That would be brilliant
Coles Melbourne Central now has Shin Ramyum - Black, AND now they have a couple varieties of Samyang Buldak ramen 🍜
The normal shin ram yum is spicy isn’t it? Is the black about the same?
The black is significantly less spicy, with a much richer broth (extra sachet containing proper good stock powder) and better veggies
Mmmmmmm buldak!
Midnight toasties 🤙🤌
Something appears to be very much on fire in the city. Edit: kings way appears to be closed, looks to be near crown/convention centre.
Fire in Southbank.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak and real time AQI monitoring doesn't seem to have picked up anything?
@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak I'm on William & Collins corner and from here it looks like a standard heavy raincloud, but something does smell off... 🤔
Sorry, it's just me walking around super hot like 😬 😅
Damn bot. Title now updated, it looks like more work on days of the week is required.
Just don’t sing it the Happy Days theme to teach it or we might end up with Whattaday. Although I do like the idea of an eight day week, an extra weekend day obviously.
You're doing an awesome job, thank you!
Sit. rep.: bleeding finally stopped for good once the anaesthetic wore off - it seemed to start bleeding again each time a bit of feeling came back.
Managed to eat some yoghurt etc and have put the makings of congee in the slow cooker.
Am wiped so have crawled in. Have a good evening everyone.
The date is correct!
Big sleep. Big Big sleep. I feel refreshed.
Dragons Den Canada is the best. It totally undoes the stereotype of Canadians being polite. Just brutal roasts.
hahaha, I love dragon's den and some shark tank as well. There is one nice person on Canada though isn't there? But Mr Wonderful is a complete shitbag and doesn't care. Good entertainment.
Royalty's!
Indulged in a lunch special at the local Chinese restuarant. Delicious but too big of a serving for lunch. I'm sleepy now trying to get back into work, not going well.
*succulent lunch special
"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal‽"
I was hoping to have a siesta after lunch, but it didn't happen, and now it's too late to nap, and if I sleep now I'll wake up too early tomorrow (long day, so I'd rather not wake up 7 hours before I need to) but sooooo tired
Yes, having an active breed dog gets you out and walking. Just on a year since the doggo wasn't limited on his walks.
Edit - also, has anyone has come across any infographics type community?
ID: the image is a graph of @calhoon2005@aussie.zone steps. These include information on total steps, weekly step and avg daily and total distance
There is an infographics community! it's !infographics@chat.maiion.com. There's also !statistics@lemmy.world but not sure if that's what you're after
P.S you can find communities that are on various Lemmy instances at https://browse.feddit.de/
Nice one, thanks
The real takeaway from this is the consistency!
pain is slowly subsiding, put a shoe rack together today, I am not a DIY person, unfortunately.
Brrr jebus is it cold! Such a contrast to today's sunshine. It'd freeze the baubles off a Canadian Christmas tree, was glad to get on a mildly crowded bus for once.

Anyone got any tips or suggestions for trying to figure out the child care subsidy?
All I know is r/centrelink us full of people stressing about dealing with Centrelink on this. Colossal phone queues right now (even noting they're normally bad) and these and all other welfare claims/enquiries are taking ages.
Best I can do is have you look at this and try out the calculator but only use it as a rough estimate.
Bought one of those super high density toothbrushes to try. I have to say, teeth feel cleaner than with regular toothbrush.
Someone's telling me to get on "Threads". Some new Instagram-compatible social media platform that looks like a Twitter feed. Not interested in having more social media accounts but interesting that Meta's coming for Twitter.
On the last point, it's always really fucked how that goes, and I hope it doesn't weigh on you too much. When that 16 year old kid was murdered at Sunshine station (and also the 14 year old who was murdered in St Albans near Ginnifer station) it really affected me because I'm also 16, and I've been in the exact same place at almost the same time of day as they were. I've walked to and from train stations at the same time as they did, there was fuck all difference between us, and had the murderers gone after me instead of them, I would've been the one who died, not them
Baku, you are not a member of a gang. So your risk is so very small.
I try not to think of my school years without the guidance of a therapist, ::: spoiler TW I almost didn't survive it, in spite of my repeated attempts to leave this mortal coil ::: haha
It pleases me immensely that you are still here with us, but I am sorry that you are filled with fear at your age. It's terrifying wondering whether something will happen to us, especially when it has happened to our peers.
You seem like you have a good head on you, as long as you keep your ears and eyes open you will be okay. As an afab in brunny, living close to where Jill lost her life, I never wear headphones or go out drunk by myself. But even that doesn't stop us from falling prey to those with ill intentions. We can only enjoy the life we have right now, and be thankful we are here to see the sunrise.
I'm sure you are not alone in your fears, and they are valid fears, but try not to let them rule you or change you too much. <3
Does anyone know how to embed gif directly into comments? I can’t seem to find any info about it.
I’ve tried file conversion and compression as well.
Got the date right at least. Good enough!
I did exactly the same thing with my Brisbane post bot yesterday.
Great place to raise the kids.

Clamouring For Cognition edish

🥊⏰not just the bot clamouring for cognition this morning 😑
I saw the thread, thought the bot worked, then saw the confessions in the comments. Not very good at cover-ups are we?
I'm too tired for this, bot. Had a slight crisis of day-of-week, hahahah.
May be procrastinating writing again.
Decided to try out new kebab/burger shop for dinner - pretty good burger and hot chips except minus points for brioche bun (surprised that place didn’t use normal buns)
Most use brioche or potato buns these days, hard to get a "normal" roll.
KFC uses potato buns now too.
KFC probably microwave the buns as well.
Will it never end. How long do I have to wait for normal buns to be in fashion again?

Edit: Obviously I am currently listening to my d e u t s c h l a n d p l a y l i s t and now I am very sad that Jennifer Rostock haven't released any music since 2016 😭
Edit edit: What am I even saying? Wir Sind Helden went on hiatus in 2012! I like a band and apparently curse it to never make new music again! Least AMK and Von Wegen Lisbeth are still releasing knock on wood fickt!
Oh, I have a copy of Von Hir an Blind on CD

I have no idea how to tag people on this - whatever.
@Force_majeure122@aussie.zone - have you heard AnnenMayKantereit cover Toxic? It may be one you'd like from them too :)

Peele's Twilight zone? Peele's Twilight zone.
It's crazy to think that people may eventually be able to comment here, via their Instagram account on Threads.
Ugh. I have insta and fb, but only for pictures of my friends cats and for sharing stupid memes respectively. Does anyone even use insta for more than just lurking, if they arent an 'InFlUeNcEr'?
I saw a post once on /r/legaladvice where the OP exchanged Instagram contacts with some other individuals so they could recover damages at a later date. So apparently some people are using it as a legit method of communication.
Spoiler: They got blocked and ghosted. Hence the legaladvice post.
