I have the grumpiest bum in the whole world today.
Simonhasagrumpybutt
He so does lol
I reckon mine’s worse.
I reckon yours is much more justified
It’s not every day you’ve got more than one hole in your butt (fucking skin ulcers!) and I’m trying not to be too Karenly with everyone. Hey, it’s an up-and-down kind of year and everyone’s entitled to be shitty!
You have every right to be shitty ❤️ Sometimes it can’t be helped, and better out than in.
I really should stop playing Satisfactory, but well the factories aren’t gonna build themselves now are they? Please send help.
Have you dabbled in Factorio?
Once.
I opened Factorio in the morning and then the following morning when my partner got up we agreed that I should never open that game again. At least with Satisfactory I’ve managed to rope my partner in to playing too :D
I looked at it but didn’t purchase it.
It scares me just looking at it, hearing your stories of Satisfactory doesn’t fill me with much hope.
Factorio is far more intense with it being 2D and having regular attacks whilst managing your monstrosity.
Satisfactory is far more chill and 3D so you can enjoy just exploring, I found a power slug cavern recently and we’re playing spoiler free and learning as we go.
Planet Crafter is pure chill but the same vibes. That game did more for my mental health than my psychologist haha.
They’re all really fun and addictive games, and if you can do co-op with someone they’re even better. I’m happy to buy you one of those if you throw me your steam ID so you can at least give one of them a go :)
Oh that’s so kind of you.
My Pc’s a potato so I really play games on it anymore and certainly haven’t purchased anything to use on it for a long time.
I’m mainly a console gamer at the moment due to that.
I don’t think it’s be right to accept the offer unless I could do justice to it.
No worries! Let me know if you ever change your mind, I’ve already added the funds to my steam wallet and I’ll only spend it on loot boxes otherwise haha.
Console gaming is fun too, I actually prefer it for open world RPGs. Whatcha playing atm?
What help do you need? Remember, follow the veins to the altar and chant
That was evil lol.
Joking aside, for the past week and a half I’ve been playing between 8 and 18 hours a day ever day. I knew this game would be both bad and brilliant for my maths loving ADHD brain. Any ways, am awake, therefore must open game.
As I also have ADHD, and am also an Engineering student, I am get that. I’d be playing more but one, end of sem is here, and Ive been on my bimonthly Terraria binge.
Harmonize with us. Listen to the rhythm. Live Laugh Consume.
End of the semester is the perfect time to play! Those assignments can wait, you’ll definitely be able to smash them out the night before the deadline! You got this <3
Terraria is fun, I prefer Starbound though. Also “Planet Crafter” is incredibly fun if you want something more casual, that game holds a special place in our hearts (we played co-op).
Sounds like fun. 🙂> Satisfactory
Lovely to see you back btw <3
Thank you. It’s wonderful to be back. 😘
someone is making yoko ono sounds on the train
microphone isn’t on?
I put the heater on. 🫥
Don’t blame you, it’s nippy tonight especially after the past few days of sweltering nights
She sure is
I’ve lost my voice. And I’m running an event that requires me to basically talk all weekend. This’ll be interesting.
The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.
they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are
also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.
These questions here too.
I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.
I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.
What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage
If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.

Come down with a cold or something, so missing my human first aid lesson. Ugh. I should just be able to do the course via a charity anyway, and as long as it’s done before I finish the course it will be fine.
But damn it! Damn it! I hate missing stuff and having to play catch up. Whatever. I just have to trust myself that I am capable. And I don’t mind paying $200 for a one day human first aid course. But fucking fuck fuck fuck
when see blood where it shouldn’t be, apply pressure to where blood come out
Nb not with a tourniquet to the neck
bleeding stopped. patient no longer screaming. job done.
Paperwork ensues
A great deal of the human course is what I would hope is common sense. Mine is long expired though I remember the important bits. But legals…
Such a pity radical phlebotomy has gone out of fashion. Maybe we can do a tiktok video … could be an excellent way to lose weight.
Ooh, stabby pokey. I could set up a stripy pole in about 15 min. Got any leeches?
More than is entirely necessary … I looooove leeches.
Tablespoon of formaldehyde isna cure-all in a pinch
I think of how dark the world has been and will continue to be for me personally.
And I’m not even suffering the most relative to other people. And I think to myself I really don’t want to be here. On the other hand dying is not really appealing either.
I’m sorry dude. I’m in the same spot but doing the sad clown thing because really what else can I do.
I’d wish things to get better for you, but for some people they don’t and I don’t want to create even implied pressure to “get better”. Which in Australia seems to involve a lot of stiff upper lips and bootstrapping…
(A lot of the time people think they’re being encouraging but they’re doing toxic positivity and pushing you until you act in certain ways that they think you should or even hide your feelings. Also there’s nothing wrong with the way you feel. It’s a valid response to some inescapable circumstances.)
I won’t push you to seek professional help. It may or may not be available or affordable to you, you may not be able to find someone who can understand well enough to help, or you may even already be seeing someone. That’s none of my business and ultimately your choice.
What I will do is wish for you to get safely through these moments - if you feel that you can. I will hope that there will be moments of relief when this feeling will lighten.
I will tell you that there’s another person who feels very much the same and you’re not alone.
I will wish for something to shift so that you don’t have to feel like you don’t want to be here.
hugs
i hope we here at DT can brighten your day a little
I see some people at work sometimes sailing through completely carefree that have always lived in a bubble. Kind of pisses me off. Why isn’t that me? And it annoys me even more when they are lazy and ungrateful.
some people are unaware of their luck or that other people within their sphere can be leading a completely different kind of life because they don’t have the same privilege
many years ago I read one of Richard Wright’s autobiographies, the one of him growing. He wrote how when he was older and famous he contacted some of his white classmates from high school to talk about life in the South.
Wright was treated poorly by his teachers, given no to little encouragement , not recommended for college. His classmates told him they were given every opportunity and encouragement and treated very nicely by their teachers. His white classmates had no clue the black students were treated differently by teachers as it was done in private.
I think many people who have carefree lives just have no clue that life is harder for other people. That accent, skin colour, family, school, suburb, opens and close doors and it’s just luck
I don’t blame people for being unaware of inequality. I wish everyone was treated well. I do blame people if they are bastards holding others down.
I guess the person I’m thinking of is very insensitive to others, even when they are aware of their background. So it irks me.
I’ll be honest, banning yourself from news helps me a lot because sometimes it’s just way too much for me.
I enjoy listening to my radio talk shows because in a bubble they have a rule for not talking about news in the world or politics for the most part.
I also have tools for some escapisms when I need it.
It’s not healthy to be connected constantly to bad news every day.
I’m curious, what radio talk shows do you listen to?
Triple M’s Rush hour, a lot of rubbish and nonsense type fun there which I don’t mind.
I have some other stuff on the side like all my sports podcasts but also have Sooshi Mango and Hamish and Andy as well.
My sports stuff are AFL and Cricket based as well.
Dude get some fucking headphones bro seriously
Edit: sorry for my bus related rant. I still haven’t got my skin swab results back and I’m a bit miffed.
That was me last week I think or week before in a cafe.
Like seriously, get some headphones or something if you’re going to watch a video right next to me.
No word yet? Taking a bit to get the results.
Well there were 2 swabs done, one for Buruli and one for other stuff. Receptionist said one of them has been completed but they’re doing more tests on the other one.
I hope you get the results back soon and that they’ll be able to find out what can help you.
Tired from my labours, but finally sitting down to relax before bed. I’m rewatching Seinfeld, have needed a comfort show lately. Something I’ve watched before but enjoy watching again, requires not much concentration and is from a simpler time.
Tell me your comfort show (if you have one).
Have you been paying attention is good for a laugh when you need one from the Ten network.
Working Dog are great. Have finally started watching Utopia and really enjoying it so far.
I watch lord of the rings/tolkein podcasts and videos
and I listen to old BBC radio comedies , such as the Goon Show or Hancock’s Half Hour
I would say scrubs
Not something you’d expect, but American Dad. It’s mindless enough to semi-engage without getting too bored and while edgy it doesn’t seem to be enough to be genuinely upsetting.
And the lack of continuity/wacky hijinks resolving back to the status quo means it doesn’t matter about what order or whether the uploader has chopped it up into many out of context chunks.
I wouldn’t say I was a fan. In fact it’s easier to chuck on for background because I don’t care about following the show. But it’s something that’s kind of reliable to just watch when anxious or tired or flossing or gaming without worrying about closely following the plot or missing anything. It’s Comfortably Dumb.
Family Guy tries too hard though. Kinda lame. The offensive jokes aren’t even offensive to me, they’re just lazy.
Buffy. Girl kicks ass.
If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a ‘Digital Content Specialist’.
It’s free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.
That’s so good of you to post that.
Used to work with Joomla, but that was aeons ago.
Wouldn’t mind switching back to a plush gig. (Have a bit of a jack of all background that always is hard to put on paper, but easier to chat about. Might be a bit too out of the loop these days.)
That’s where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.
I’ve been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that
I need to remember to eat tuna /salmon or other oily fishylies tomorrow. This week has been really brain tiring and I have been starving the last couple of days. Always amazes my how much energy you burn thinking
hugs
