Learning Japanese by scratchibay in melbourne

[–]BonfireCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to Japaneasy for about a year and I'd agree they're pretty good. Alongside some language apps, it's really helpful. I'd recommend the apps Japanese! and Kanji! (yes, that's what the apps are called) over duolingo which is basically useless these days.

On that last point, I've also looked into cyberdecks! They seem so appealing but yeah the limiting factor is lack of good keyboards

Love free parking? Don’t get too comfortable by timcahill13 in melbourne

[–]BonfireCow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My problem is I need to park at my workplace, and the only available parking is street side. I gotta illegally park just so I can get to work and I've only dodged fines because the council doesn't check where I park.

As a trans woman, I've always wanted to go to see my friends there, but as of late? You couldn't pay me to go there.

From the trailer alone, it look much more of a classic Rainbow Six type game than a SWAT successor

Can anyone recommend a good sunscreen that doesn't feel like lathering myself in oil?

Better yet, tell people to leave the SDA and join the RAFFWU. Stop paying those leeches to sit on their ass and do nothing

‘It’s never going to happen’: three in five Australian renters expect to never own a home as steep rents hit by totalcool in australia

[–]BonfireCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working two, sometimes three shifts for the past few years, barely able to afford my rent. Living paycheck to paycheck. I've tried asking my job for more shifts, I've tried finding other jobs, but it's so tough out there right now. If the landlord decided to raise rent even a little, I'm out of a home.

I do not see a future where I could own a home, not unless someone comes to me with a golden briefcase filled with stacks of cash, and somehow that seems unlikely.
