Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I’m so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.
I just wanted to reiterate how nice it is to not be feeling hurt/pain about my break up anymore, I’m sure there will be moments but I’m just feeling so overall positive and happy. I’m feeling ready to put myself out there and start dating again and just go with the flow.
I’m super proud of how much healing and learning I’ve done in the last year, I’ve changed so much and definitely for the better. I’ve made more friends, I work hard to prioritise my social life and to keep those relationships going so that an actual relationship is just a supplement to my life.
I’m excited to get my adhd assessment done and my diagnosis soon and to keep learning. I’ll head back to therapy once I have my tax return and just keep trying to make some positive steps to be my best.
Yay! <3
We’re having chicken nuggets and cake for dinner and nobody’s complaining.
I had choc chip pancakes for lunch, and leftover pasta for dinner. Carbs, come at me!
I had some fish fingers tonight cut up mixed in with a big bowl of rice and various sauces.
I didn’t burn the rice this time or have that weird film at the bottom.
Yuuumm. Always a good feeling when you don’t burn the rice.
Have you tried the Aldi T rex nugs? They are god tier!
I have indeed. Also the Aldi tempura nuggets come in a big bag now. That’s what we had tonight.
I spent a good chunk of yesterday making a vanilla slice to take to dinner at mr. Omoikiri’s friend’s house tonight. Cut it all up, arranged it back in the tray. As we were running out the door, I asked him to grab the slice that was on the kitchen bench while I grabbed his drinks and my bag. Got to the front door and he’s got the slice alright. He’s also got his switch and his volleyball and his keys chucked in top of it, squashing the custard out of half of them and ruining the icing on the others.
He’s lucky he’s so hot because it took every bit of my self control to not dump his ass right on the spot.
Is he still alive?
I suspect in the process of hiding the body at the moment.
Ooohh that could have been a dead man walking right there.
Make sure you never ask him to buy bread or eggs. You just know what’ll happen.
Oh he ded, he just doesn’t know it yet lol
What a rotter! Make him replicate them to understand the error.
I’m trying not to ruin the mood of the night but he’s going to get a talking down when we get home. He already got a ‘Mate, are you serious?’ And I said it in English, so he knows I’m beyond pissed.
I’m guessing saying it in English is kind of like saying somebodies full name with emphasis on the middle one
In future you grab the food! He cannot be trusted
This disrespect towards vanilla slice will not stand!
Several people brought small children (and one baby) to see the almost 3 hour, very loud Mission Impossible. They were predictably loud almost immediately during every semi quiet scene and no efforts were made to quiet them.
People… what a bunch of bastards. I need to remember to go see movies at obscure hours on weekdays.
Also, baby in a cinema for an action movie?..that’s some hearing damage.
those poor kids 😔
Yayyyyy stress flu incoming. Chills and sore throat. yaaaayyyyy
e: okay I have a feeling I’ll have to call in sick on monday whether I like it or not
My first full-price appointment with my newest therapist is coming up this week. You’d think after 15 sessions I’d be more confident that these sessions were value for money. 🤔
I’ve been in the same position but no matter how good the therapist it still hurts to be rawdogged with the full whack that first time. It is so. much. money.
I think I’ve spent nearly 4k on out of pocket costs for mental health this year, it is insane.
This is really lovely.
😍 😍
dont ever stop writing! this is great!!
I love it
Beautiful. That hunger for broader horizons - we’ve all felt it I think.
I found it strangely touching. I love it!
I made a list of to do and to learn and now I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and not really sure how to prioritise and tackle it. Why do I do this to myself
Do the small easy stuff first. Then separate the stuff between the things that need to be done and the things that can wait.
I do this. My daily to-do list has some easy wins so I can tick stuff off and feel I’ve achieved something. You’re right, some things can wait; for me they are either ‘now’ or ‘not now’, a trait of Time Blindness that people with ADHD experience. And of course the best planned to-do list can be derailed as soon as a ‘now’ task jumps into your thoughts.
If I do the small stuff and the urgent then even if I get one other thing that needs to be done done then it’s a bonus.
Thanks for that. I just hope I can stick with the plans I make because I generally struggle with structured and scheduled time blocks unless it’s for work where I get paid for it lol.
Thanks. That’s a good point. I’ve been trying to tackle the hardest (probably most useful but not most urgent) stuff first and it’s frustrating me to no end so I probably need to start small to get started to not lose my mind and motivation in the process.
Yes the little things just clog up the way. Get them done first then tackle the urgent then everything else.
expand the list out, one page per item. Then goal as the heading. Break it down into skills and time lines.
Thanks. I started a hierachy with the to learn list but probably need to write down some solid goals, objectives, and timelines. I want to make a habit of doing little bits during the week so I’m not cramming everything in on the weekends - that should help me decide how long things will realistically take too.
Lettering on cross-stitch project for friend’s birthday completed. Will continue the border bit after making dins.
My chooken soup has animal pasta, because I’m an adult I am
Animal and dinosaur pasta is the best.
I miss the days of alphabet pasta though. Can you even still get that?
I’ve not seen alphabet recently, but haven’t really looked. Fond memories
I’ve seen alphabet pasta imported from Italy in fancy/ethnic delis and the like. I swear it used to be more common??
Definitely not as common as it used to be when I was still a kid. I don’t think I’ve seen it on the shelves in forever.
I still see dinosaur pasta around though.
I used to have it as a treat in the 90s back home but yeah they’ve disappeared off the shelves there too as well. I can’t fathom why
Omg I’d forgotten all about alphabet pasta! I used to make it when the kids were very little and learning the alphabet (to try and engage then with the learning in a fun and tasty way) but I haven’t seen it in ages.
Is animal pasta vegetarian 🤔
This particular one is vegan. A nice brain bend that.
The perfect accompaniment would be a carrot-shaped steak
Always good to indulge our inner child every once in a while.
Love it!
shhhhh
HAve another beer!
Sunday Night Cheer!
And chase away those blues.
Forget the bad news:
It’ll offset those blues
To the night of Tues-
day, coloured in hues,
Of grey skies and coos
of Ravens in my alley,
down in that concrete valley.
where the youth dilly-dally
And ask for smokes daily
So I play music from Disney
Out on my balcony
Scares them away
Too cool to sing along
They’re the dorks all a long.
I’ll keep singing those songs,
From Hercules and Mulan.
Alas, I digress,
The point of this mess
Of rhymes and crimes
Against tense,
Is: ima have another beer,
And continue this Sunday Cheer!
Here here!Just read the plot for a French horror film on Binge and yeah words fail me.
Pissed myself laughing and strongly encouraged Mr Smeg to watch it (I don’t do horror)
“However, motor oil…” aaaaaaaaand this is clearly the greatest piece of cinema ever made. Cancel all the Oscars.
Oddly enough it appears to have been written and directed by a woman.
why oddly?
The content gives off a very different vibe in terms of authorship
That’s hilarious!
What in the fucking WORLD
Goes from 0 to WTF at lightening speed
Holy crap, that is batshit and looks hilarious
Who the hell writes a script like this?
And how does it become "acclaimed"🤷♀️
AI, and tokenism
Although I’m probably being too harsh.
It’s not even original, this is a just a twist on possession ( body being occupied by other than human forces ) tropes that have been around for millennia. Except it’s cars and fire trucks and stuff and not demons.
It’s just ridiculous enough that I’m considering watching it. Hahaha.
Cronenberg is one of my favourite directors. While this isn’t him, it looks great and inspired by him. But I can’t do horror anymore. Gives me nightmares.
da fuk
He kept asking why I was laughing while I was reading about the plot.
I’ve told him he just needs to watch it. He loves weird horror and foreign horror, so this is a no brainer for him
Has anyone heard from upyourmerricreek (I think that was their name) are they here with a different name? Haven’t heard hair nor hide from them since
Also Waddlekins.
What do you mean. Waddles has been here and reddit DT. Is she on the discord meet up now as well? Is that what you mean?
I haven’t seen her for a few days is all
Ah yeah I haven’t seen her the past few days either
They’re active on the discord ‘melbourne meetup’ - they preferred the layout there i think :)
Ah ok. Thanks for the info. I’m glad they are around somewhere
Oh that’s really good to know. I miss their posts :(
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is a movie unlike any I’ve ever seen before. It was very creative and thought-provoking. Would recommend.
omg so good the rocks lol
it’s amazing
👀

The sausage fingers…
I just stopped by the Subaru dealership on my way home and had an in-person look at the size/height of the Outbacks. I think it might be just about what I’m looking for, moving from an XR6 to something a bit bigger and taller without going full SUV. I’ve been looking at the XT Touring and maybe the XT Touring 50th anniversary special edition. Could be a winner, maybe once I’m back from my holiday I’ll look more seriously.
Then I just gotta make it purple 😈 💜
Do you have a purple xr6? I love the colours they come in
I do! I still love it and we’ve been through a LOT together but it’s just - sadly - time, I think.
photo of my purple XR6 lookin' real good
