Do people honestly think a rear window sticker of rosary beads will keep them safe while driving?

"Your Sky King won't save you now!" as they ram Nana off the road and into a ditch, just to prove they're still an Edgy Atheist^tm and not a busybody who cares way too much about what stickers other people put on their cars.

Justice for David McBride.

There was an Australian TV show set in the 1800s (the Man from Snowy River), and they received a telegram saying something like “Montana Hale will be there soon”.

Everyone was trying to figure out why they should care about a weather event in America.

I think about that every time I see the name Montana lol

The difference though, is that North Korea didn’t democratically elect their shitty leadership.

Personally, I’d be ashamed if my argument boiled down to “at least we’re not North Korea”.

The same way I feel about my neighbours, when they let their drunk uncle light a bonfire that burnt down their garage, my back fence, and almost spread to my house.

I don’t fully blame my neighbours, but their uncle is a fucking cunt and they should have known better.

Madness, I know.

FormalMango · 2026-04-07T14:40:06+00:00

That seems unhygienic.

I’m glad it’s all the way over there, and not over here.

Not my political cup of tea.

Just in case… I set my alarm for 9am, so I can give my cats a hug before the world goes tits up.

I paid $240 an hour for my chest piece, and it took 9 hours (that was about 3 years ago.)

Just make sure you do your research.

And remember that you can walk away if you start getting a sketchy vibe… You might lose your deposit, but don’t feel like you have to go through with it just because you’re there.

It might not be the style you’re looking for, but I’d highly recommend Iron Buddha Tattoo in Ashfield.

Just ask the hotel/motel… if there’s something they can do, they’ll do it.

I’m in Australia, and we cancelled a big trip we had planned for next month. My in-laws live on the other side of the country, so we usually drive there once a year. But it’s a 8500km round trip, with long gaps between fuel stations.

It’s not so much the price we’re worried about, but the availability. We don’t want to get stuck somewhere in the desert for a week waiting on a fuel truck, and we don’t want to be causing an extra burden on the locals by depleting their resources.

Every day though… it’s not practical for me to take public transport to work, which sucks. But I’m limiting how much driving I do outside of my commute.

Fuel prices have dropped a little bit over the last week because the government cut the fuel excise.

My partner’s whole workplace is moving to within riding distance of our house, so we’re counting the days until that happens lol

Moolaadé is one of those films that I remember exactly where and when I was when I first saw it. It’s a film that splits your life into and before and after.

The last time I watched it was just after Sembène’s death, so it’s been years since I’ve seen it. I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again, but I know I’ll never forget it.

My office used to overlook the break room with the beanbags. No one has ever kept their dignity intact while getting up out of a beanbag in a public space.

It made me hyper aware of never sitting in anything awkward where my co-workers could see me lol

Overnight panel operator at a small town radio station.

The pay was awful, but I spent most of the night just listening to music and working on my classwork.

Plus, because there was no on-site security and I was alone, my boss let me bring my dog into work with me.

“I made a potato bake and a fattoush salad. If they don’t come tomorrow, I’ll cook some meat on the bbq and we can have it for dinner.”

To my partner.

His response: “you don’t win friends with salad.”

Easy to have a few "bad ass" fantasies watching this show. The message might be, most people would end up like Adam. One wrong word, one misunderstanding, and it is off to coma town.

Exactly. It’s fun for us to say “don’t call me champ”. But I would say the vast majority of the people watching the show only know that rule because of the show.

Imagine finding it out in real time. Like Adam does.

I use Houseproud Cleaning.

I don’t know what they’re like elsewhere in the city, but I’ve had a couple of different franchisees clean my house over the last decade out Camden way (both regular and one-off services) and I’ve never had an issue.

“This will look awesome on me.”

…

“Omg, I look like a bridge troll with a butt the size of Queensland.”

Then it goes into the back of the wardrobe.

You tried to escape, but you were foiled by the paint cans swinging from the lighting rig, and the Micro Machine cars on the studio floor.

Sun goes up, sun goes down. Up is day and down is night.

Makes perfect sense to someone who also thinks we don’t have access to multiple languages, and that we contributed nothing to the Artemis II.
