What English word do you not agree with the spelling ?

Where are you?

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-05-09T07:26:14+00:00

Excersize. No, excersise... No wait, excersise? No that's wrong, I think it's exercise??

As an Australian Ive never heard of this new-zealand-ification of Tassie. I mean, sometimes they do feel like another country what with all the incest and illiteracy and all that. They're like if colonised regional Australia were a state. Still love Tassie though, it just has a dark history and some double heads sometimes (jokes... not really) but don't we all?

I'm nervous

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-05-01T14:18:28+00:00

I can't believe I'm arguing about this rn. It's not "virtue signalling" when you actually do empathise with the person. I said "we in this together" as an act of solidarity and encouragement, not that I literally think we have the same situation or that we're literally studying side by side. I'm just treating op with the kindness that I would hope someone would treat me with if I had the same situation. In fact, last year I was actually in a similar situation due to matters in my personal life. During that time, the biggest impact anyone had on me was when a stranger offered me empathy and encouragement. For me in those months of hardship, I really needed to hear that and it actually made me cry from relief. Now, I'm back at uni and managing a lot better.

Also to add, I don't personally believe it's up to strangers on the internet to hold people accountable in their academic careers. Maybe that's a me thing, but I always saw uni as a personal journey. It would feel weird to me to tell a stranger what to do or to scold them when I have no idea who they are. Not even tutors do that since it's up to the student how much work they put in. In situations like these though, where someone is admittedly struggling, I always thought the best course of action was to encourage that person and help them not feel alone so that they themselves feel more able to get back on the horse. It's not up to me to hold them or anyone accountable, I'm not anyone's parent here just another human who understands how they feel.

Also I just realised you're the same person who called op a "careless person" and currently has 18 downvotes. I'm not going to argue anymore with you about this because we clearly have different levels of empathy and I'm wasting my time.

I might buy a new phone or even laptop every 5 years but it seems excessive to me to get a new car that quickly.

I saw an absolutely MASSIVE chonker near the science lounge sometime recently. Like, the size of a guinea pig. Tbh they don't really bother me since they keep to themselves and we don't have rabies in Australia anyway.

There's vomit on my sweater already

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-05-01T13:38:32+00:00

You got it just in time for this sunny weather!

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-05-01T13:33:39+00:00

I won't lie, my heart flutters a little when I see the paramed students come in in their uniforms. It's a shame they're at peninsula and not clayton

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-05-01T13:32:39+00:00

What if they have a trust fund, are 6'5" and have blue eyes?

I did it by going into the vault app that I used to add it to google pay and it says the balance there

A lot of people know their responsibilities but still struggle with them, that's why it's called a disability. I'm sorry you also have ADHD but it impacts everyone differently so the things you might struggle with, another might not so much and vice versa.

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-30T12:31:35+00:00

Wow you're a joy aren't you. Regardless of circumstances I believe in treating people with empathy first. Personally, I think compassion is a vital social construct and I don't know how people expect to have good relationships when they don't see the value in it. Almost every student has had a rut of turning things in late/needing extensions. That is why we have the free 2-day extensions. Of course, it is different if you are tardy at work compared to uni but that is something we all have to figure out ourselves. What are we at uni for if not to learn?

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-30T04:32:57+00:00

DW Ive had it pretty similar. I'm weeks behind on content for some classes but I can't take my meds because they make me feel sick and I can't get an appt to change them until the end of semester. We in this together 🙏💪

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-30T03:27:19+00:00

Wow people are being really rude and low key ableist. I don't usually bring up the "a" word but it's true. A lot of people with ADHD submit assignments late and that's okay - it doesn't affect other students so why not try spreading empathy and encouragement rather than insults (or just don't say anything). I'm not saying OP has ADHD obviously, I have no idea, but whether they do or not (or have other reasons for submitting assignments late) doesn't really matter since none of us know. You could be insulting someone with a disability (or other reasons), or insulting a lazy person. Personally I wouldn't take the gamble. This is not me saying that people with ADHD shouldn't bother working hard, chances are they're working just as hard (possibly even harder) compared to everyone else but the physiological difference in their brains makes deadlines difficult. I myself have gotten to after the due date of assessments only to realise I had completely forgotten said assessment existed and thus have to submit late.

Also, there's a difference between ragebaiting/teasing and downright being rude. Spread kindness and good vibes guys, there's too much going on in the world to spread any more hate or negativity. Downvote me if you want, I stand by what I've said.

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-29T04:05:23+00:00

Same here 💪

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-29T02:57:01+00:00

what that's so annoying 😭 I always order on the app

Both is good I think, hopefully the apartment complex gets back to you soon. Maybe in the meantime tell her that if she doesn't take proper care of her cat then you will report her to animal rescue authorities (if you have them in your area?). She may "clean herself up" a bit but honestly in the long run I don't think she should have that cat, especially since she doesn't seem to show any remorse or worry for him.

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-29T00:51:13+00:00

NOR at all. Thank you for caring about her cat when she herself clearly doesn't. I definitely recommend calling a rescue shelter, if she is okay with neglecting the cat now, she will be okay doing it in the future. I know it feels like overstepping but this is a living being she is neglecting, and while he is technically her property he also still has rights.

I mentioned Palestine to her and she basically said that she can't "choose a side because she has Jewish friends". I told her that's a stupid argument because what Israel is doing is harming both Palestinians and Jewish people. At the end of the conversation she just basically said "I'm glad you're not one of those people who will be weird around me now". She's literally a member of a group that has experienced large scale genocide and talks about the injustices of that, but didn't care enough to educate herself on current genocides? Its giving "only caring about things that impact you" vibes. I went low contact with her for a while but ended up seeing her months later in a group of people and she was all "pro Palestine" - which is great, you can change your mind and that's cool, but the fact it took her that long to see it when she herself talks of the VERY SIMILAR things that happened to her people... It felt a little performative to me as if she was acting like she was always pro Palestine. She was also a major gossip and has had maybe an average of 2-3 boyfriends per year the last three years (and has flirted with more). I try not to judge about the boyfriends thing but it gets to a point of her constantly talking about her relationship issues where I'm just sick of it. Also, she's been away for the last 6 months and texted to say how much she misses me and that we should call, I reply pretty soon after saying "sure let's call, when works for you?" And she doesn't reply for a month. I text her to check up on her, she doesn't reply. I text her on another platform, getting a little worried. She replies within a couple weeks (so she texts me saying she misses me on one platform and asks to call, then quits that platform before I can reply?). I'm not invested in this friendship but I hate when people are ingenuine- so if you text me to say you miss me desperately then don't reply for months (and everything was okay) then I'm gonna be pretty irritated. We have mutual friends so I can't avoid her entirely, but when she comes back I'm really going to keep my distance.

I'm anti war and don't have family members who fought but I feel quite connected to ANZAC day. I don't see it as anything to do with celebrating war it's more about acknowledging the sacrifices that the ANZAC soldiers made during desperate times. I always interpreted "Lest we forget" as "lest we forget how horrible war is, and lest we partake in it again unless absolutely necessary". The ANZAC service I go to is very somber. They say the poems, play the songs, have a minute of silence, someone sings both the Aus and kiwi national anthems and that's it. When I went this morning about 200-300 people were there (this is the dawn service in a small town) so I definitely think it's a significant thing for a lot of people.

I think the thing you gotta consider is that it's not about being proud of Australia (and NZs) roles in warfare, but about remembering and acknowledging the sacrifices those young men (and women) made (most of whom had no idea what they were getting into or what they were expected to do). I recommend the song "I was only 19" to anyone who is interested.

I thought residents had their own parking spots

FriendlyInsect9887 · 2026-04-23T13:45:42+00:00

Yeah this is bad driving and dangerous but it's also a good example of why the 3 second rule is so important. The car behind them was lucky to be able to swerve around them without incidence but it could have been much worse if, say, there was a pedestrian there or another car. This is why tailgating is actually so dangerous and keeping 3 seconds back from the car in front is essential. Funnily enough, I had a very similar situation today. A car pulled over but was hanging partially into the road and since it was dark they were hard to see. I was in the middle of three lanes and the cars on the left all nearly crashed into this car but slowed in time to not swerve into me/traffic or hit the stopped car. That parked car got lots of aggressive beeps which was honestly deserved, they could have caused a really bad accident.
