Daily Discussion Thread: Fri 07 Jul 2023
Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.
Hi @just_kitten@aussie.zone, thank you so much for the recommendation of Rowan as driving instructor. Just received my Victorian car license.
Botto did the thing!
I have new teeeeeeeeeeefs! They're so smooth and porcelainy! I also cannot feel my top lip or bottom of my nose still.
Good bot ⚡️🔋

I just put link about the fire in Southbank on the main page if anyone is still wondering what is was about.
I am also thinking about how to make better use of the main page and other posts. If anyone is interested in dicussing options you can visit the Feedback & Suggestions post.
There's this black hole on my friend's couch that's just appeared. It appears to be vibrating. And soft.
Need a new handbag and thought with this whole turning 30 and upgrading my wardrobe thing, I’d try to seek out my first Nice handbag. Went in person to look at some of my shortlisted options yesterday and felt very meh about them. If I’m spending that much I want a soul connection! 💘 Back to the drawing board…
8.30 in office meeting to discuss new desks. My doggo missed out on his walk for that.....
Hey bitch next door
I can hear your fucking door
sliding back and forth
doing god-knows-fucking-what
I get you're pissed
About my music
But I'm pissed too
So fuck you
I'll sit here and sing
Shitty german
and get the words wrong
because I put up with you
and your gaggle of goose-
friends that cry
in the hallway
on Monday-fucking-nights
You kissed a girl
No one fucking cares
It's 2023
You stupid white milquetoast
guilt
So slide your stupid door
Back and forth
and I'll just turn it up louder!I was today years old when I discovered the app has infinite scroll. I was wondering why it seemed to display more posts on the front page than the website did.
Another pretty big day and I'll sleep well tonight. Walked 9ks all up which is satisfying. Did a volunteer shift at the finders keepers market for my organisation. The welcome to country was powerful. We sold heaps of stuff. I left feeling euphoric. Being around other super positive trans people is food for the soul. Like good tasty wholesome food too. After being almost lectured by another older sllightly further in their jouney trans woman last night that I wasn't doing it right it was very refreshing. Love, I've lived in my head for 50 years, I think I know the kind of woman I am and where to head in my transition. Another shift tomorrow and a job interview straight after.
Strange times indeed. The employer is friends wih my of my old employers from over 20 years ago and we both worked for the same queer newspaper in different cities. And they have lots of trans staff. It's basic early morning work which suits my new lifestyle to a t. It'll pay the bills and give me a lot of free time to keep working on my recovery till I find some new calling. Or it might work out to be totally my thing.
Considering how mentally unwell I was a month ago I feel like a very different person today. The adhd has calmed right down and despite some low level anxiety I'm finding happiness and some of that wonderful thing that is peace of mind.
Thanks for reading as always.
Finally made it down the bellarine. 5.5hrs for that one so many things went wrong heh.
Also shoutout to disturbed gronk man carrying an esky and fishing rods at geelong station who accused me of stealing his drinks and tried to steal my backpack whilst yelling cunt repeatedly. Seriously aggressive mf. Almost got real there.
These are my drinks buddy, get your own.
Went to Costco and mistakes were made. A bag of s'mores clusters is getting handed around the office much to the delight of others though. The mistake was the iced boba tea. I'm glad they're smaller than they used to be, but I still have regret. The other mistake was not buying the bag of pina colada! Can always go back after work I guess...
The banh mi from my favourite vegan cafe (Olivia Spring Cafe in MoPo) makes me so happy. I get ridiculously happy about great food, and this cafe also makes their broken rice (Cơm Tấm) dish using the same ingredients so it's a double win whenever I order from there. This takes my mind off Aus Post continuing to bounce my parcel between west and eastern Melbourne for three weeks now despite saying they've put in alerts to have it dealt with by a human rather than their automated sorting mech.
I'm half frozen and my fingers feel like ice, but I have had a successful day today.
All the work for my gardening subject is done, so I'm clear to focus on the sustainable housing content when that is released next week. Fortunately the fortnightly modules are released on alternate weeks, so I can focus on one subject each week.
I also did a good weights workout. I'm very deconditioned (aka super unfit) so I have been mostly just going through the motions with light weights to remember my form and have everything set up, but am starting to actually work on increasing the weights and building strength. The cat is a bit mystified by the whole process.
I have also sold another Marketplace item (pending pickup, but all signs good so far) and have all my meals prepped for work over the weekend. I just need to decide what I'm having for dinner tonight and I'm set.
Reading an article; British ex pat comes to Melbourne for a year. Been here for 3 months and this is the some of the worst things he finds about melbourne
Public transport system and myki cards, fair… the comment about “the second you forget your myki you can’t get on public transport” that’s a you problem dude not Melbourne.
“How long it takes to cross the road” apparently it takes 5 mins. Do you guys agree?
“Lack of accommodations” renting and buying is impossible. I mean we are in a renting crisis all over the world not just Melbourne but go off!
“Homeless people and drug addicts” make him feel unsafe. This has me thinking, does England not have these issue? Is it cleaner and safer over there? He speaks of Melbourne but talks specifically about the City.
Guess this guy did zero research and did not jump on reddit and ask the 50 million dollar question about whether to come here or not
I feel like with all the bad he’s spoke about melbourne, the least he could’ve done was list some good stuff too.
Article within the spoiler. What are people’s thought
Seagoon's movies. I watched Inception for the 3rd time ( I've also watched docos and interviews )
Why I love this movie and why I think it's a great movie.
It's original in many of it's ideas. Originality delights the mind.
It's intelligent. We have to think a bit, we have to pay attention.
The dialogue , acting and scenes are so good we readily suspend disbelief, we immerse ourselves in that world just as the characters immerse themselves in their dream worlds.
But more than that it's a story of friendship and grief and guilt and love and all of the effects and all the seeming intricacies serve the story. Once we are finished watching we are left with understanding and emotion. This movie is about people.
Tuesday is now 17C one degree up and Wednesday is still 17C. This is still nuts!
Woke up way too late today. For some reason. My brain was rattling around and I didn’t feel like I slept last night.
A small bonus for today is that a voucher I had didn’t get scanned when I used it so I get to use it again! Yay small wins!
Also it’s still a relatively nice day outside.
Now to go hunt for that bottle of wine I misplaced.
I know the Lonely Island's "Threw it on the ground" is absurd, and could also be seen in a very immature light... sometimes saying to people who govern parts of your life "you can't buy me, hot dog man" is a necessary response.
I'm using Chrome browser and since I've been here I've noticed less and less glitchiness every day. I'm really impressed.
Apparently the City of Port Phillip changed which contractor collects recycling/rubbish... and it's been a disaster, with the new company not able to collect all the bins on schedule. My building's shared council recycling bins (shared by 159 apartments) are now apparently completely full due to the missed collection, and there is no ETA on when they will collect the bins, and the building manager hasn't been able to get the private company who we use for rubbish and cardboard to do a one-off collection from the council bins on short notice. Such a mess, and hopefully they sort it out soon and don't just get further behind.
Anyone else affected by it?
It’s time…time for the Ashes!
@chatgpt@lemmings.world what do you think about microwaved potatoes? Please be detailed
RIP Coco Lee. Depression’s a bitch.
Almost 20 mins on hold with Dell... Ugh. I also pressed 0 a bunch of times so I'm praying that I'm not in hold purgatory.
Edit: Colour me shocked. Call has been answered and I have been transferred twice without the call dropping out. The downside... The part I am trying to replace is a like a piece of speaker material that is tiny, split and damaged... And is not a spare part because in order to replace/fix it, it's likely I have to replace the whole rear cover... I just can't... It's a tiny slip of material stuck down by some sort of felt tape.
Just e-scooted with my backpack to the supermarket like the true city-dweller I am and spotted Aeroplane Jelly flavoured milks. They have raspberry jelly, mango jelly and lemon jelly flavoured milk. These companies know I can't not try their wacky brand mashups so I got a lemon jelly milk. Just so there's no confusion, it's not jelly-like at all, just flavoured milk. It's actually not bad too! Also stopped by the pharmacy to load up on pain meds because the anaesthetic from my dental work is starting to wear off and it is **not ** pleasant.
1am? Perfect time to rewatch Insidious: Chapter 2
Trying to catch up as the newest one is coming out soon
Sad Bot noises 🤖
Sit. rep.: Zooks woke me up at 5:30, either because I needed painkillers or she wanted her breakfast, you decide.
Feeling good today albeit a bit tired and sore when I don't keep up with the painkillers. Did my first salt rinse with no ill effects.
In other news, my laptop charger finally arrived after the old one suddenly crapping out at 11 pm last Friday. Because of course it did. It's good to be able to use a keyboard again,also some of the shows I arred only work via the laptop.Some days are Everything is Awesome type days, others are Absolute Cunt of a Day type days. Today is very much the latter
I found a Lemmy chatgpt bot. I'll post once here to test whether it works across instances, then not again.... @chatgpt@lemmings.world tell me about Eucalyptus camaldulensis
You gotta love this lady - she knows how to cook for cold weather potato bake
I've just found out about the Purring Cat YouTube channel and I'm loving this video. I miss having pets!
Watched the final for Deadloch, what a delightful little bit of Aussie telly! I hope this gets some stuff moving for the Kate's, while the show did flounder at points, it still held it's own right to the end. While I love The Katering Show and Get Krackin', this proved that they could move beyond sketch comedy and still get the laughs while also bringing the tight emotional storytelling needed to engaged a much larger audience. I'll also add that while I love seeing them in front of the camera, this has kind of pushed me to want to see just how far they can go off camera. I reckon a little nipping and some tucking and they'll be smashing it from start to finish.
No spoilers, but if they're doing what I think they're doing, let's fkn gooo! (Although I don't think they are because I read a bit in an interview that said otherwise.)
Let's get this party started. Whoop whoop whoop.🍺

I love the fact that my boss thinks I'm a God when it comes to Trello. Nahh man, I just love to fuck around and find out.

@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone I don't think bot #001 made a new thread. Can you please do it.
