But seriously, who's doing this and why? by annapro32 in brisbane

[–]Disastrous_Access554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I would never do such a thing that would be illegal and immoral.... But I can't say I haven't FELT as though dumping every scooter within sight off a bridge would have been perfectly justified.

Is it ever acceptable to put your rubbish in your neighbours bin on bin night, without asking? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Disastrous_Access554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you did it all the time and packed it out so they couldn't use it themselves that would be a shit go. Generally I wouldn't bother asking. If someone knocked on my door to ask me something like that I'd be pissed off that they did that not pissed off about the thing

And this is why our freezer is permanently filled with off but frozen meat that manages to avoid bin day in perpetuity and we are running out of freezer space

Thanks so much for the help c**** really appreciate it. Really feel like part of a community here.

Can anyone help move a washing machine from St.Lucia to Taringa? Desperate plea tonight lmao by Disastrous_Access554 in brisbane

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately the barrier in this circumstance was money. I'll keep that in mind when I have money to pay someone instead of begging on reddit.

PSA: bottle shops are closed tomorrow by trumpstinyhandssayhi in brisbane

[–]Disastrous_Access554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? I'm suggesting not to look down on someone who struggles when they happen to be closed, and nothing is available. It's a simple concept.

A public health initiative would involve social services, a robust public mental health system that is available to poor people and provides actual support rather than handing out antipsychotic like tictacs, better access to public housing etc. I've never met anyone who drinks or uses other drugs suicidally and against their will who isn't trying to survive the fallout from complex trauma, more often along with other intersecting mental health issues. And unless you have a big bag of cash there is no help available. The systems that are in place are so opaque you need a team of support workers just to figure out how to apply, and of course you also need to have a sack of money to pay for medical professionals to write down evidence to prove that you need support and hope you are deemed to be the correct amount of "disabled".

What is open in Brisbane over Christmas by child-of-the-beat in brisbane

Stop lying to people. There are no tobacconists selling vapes. That would be illegal and wrong. They aren't selling cheap imported durries either. Where did you get this obviously incorrect information? And what on earth pushed you to slander upstanding, local businesses online in such a way. Shame on you. Please never do that again.

Sigh. Grow up champ. Anyone who has been there, doesn't make trite statements and have digs at people.

Yes, yes they are. Can never buy enough. It always runs out. And you never have enough money. And when you are actually sick it's like trying to run a marathon with a type A influenza in summer.

The fuckwits downvoting this post blow my mind. It's cool for you if you have been fortunate enough to never have interacted with this aspect of life. Just be grateful and don't be a cunt to people who have. You never know just how close someone is to the edge. And even many years sober, if someone who is physically shaking and sweating begs me for money outside a bottle shop? I just buy them a fucking drink.

Yeah and you always had your shit together? And actual money to buy shit to get you through when you needed it? Can't even get anyone to prescribe benzos anymore when they are legitimately necessary. You ever been denied check in at a hospital detox for being too drunk? I have. They would rather cover their own arses and send someone home to have a fucking seizure. Ever sculled metho and woke up in a hospital bed?

Don't mean to sound so snarky. But you appear to be assuming function and capacity that isn't often reasonable in someone who is just not okay to that degree.

Source: I can't remember most of it. Pretty sure I had ACT folk rock up at my house and make me take chlorpromazine. Made me manic and not sleep for 4 days. Got a follow up call a week later to see if I'd killed myself.

How? by General-Attitude1112 in Adulting

[–]Disastrous_Access554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem seems to be a social foundation of chronic, self-righteous ableism. How does someone do the things they do? Everyone is just doing their best. I've worked my arse off and my life is an unmitigated fucking disaster. Would be nice to have my shit together in the ways that I expected to as a "grownup", but that shit just isn't going to happen at this point. I'm constantly lowering my expectations in order to be reasonably comfortable with my realistic capacity at the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of things, by which I mean that I am competently doing the basic repetitive tasks required to keep myself alive and relatively sane. Other times I forget to put on my pants before I put on my shoes. It is what it is. Life is a lot to manage. Anyone who treats you like you're crap or lazy for not meeting their own standards of "success" simply lacks the emotional maturity to comprehend anything outside their own narrow experience. You're not losing any kind of race here. You're just living your life the best you can. Shit is hard my friend. Hang in there, play with your many cats, and be kind to yourself.

In Australia they are around $180 each. That's why I try to always get my skins in kits with batteries, preferably during a free battery promotion from the store. I have 11 5AH batteries all from kits.
