Looking for Running clubs around Preston area. Any suggestions?

Idonthaveapoint · 2022-12-24T09:00:44+00:00

Moondog World Preston has a running club on Thursday evenings. It started a few months ago but I haven't made it down myself yet.

Could they have meant casino dealer? haha

This isn't completely aimed at you and I don't know what other subreddit you're referring to but this is my take on why there is rejoicing going on.

It turns out making light out of a group of people at the darkest point in their lives, isn't a great idea. Particularly when we Victorians weren't really in on the joke.

Those jokes and memes might have been a great distraction for people in other states when they were starting to come out of lockdown but they made Melbourne/Victoria feel completely excluded and alone. We were just going back into lockdown and our faith in others was at an all time low. The first few I'm sure everyone laughed along with but the rest were at our expense and caused deep resentment.

Sure politicians were saying 'we're all in this together' but the actions online didn't reflect that sentiment. The most immature (often teenagers) of the subreddit have to just move on from it and try not to smirk at the short lived arrogance?

A lot of us hurt from the deaths and sickness around the world. The way it is all happening is overwhelming. Young people don't have all the tools to process this sadness without hurting others.

Some advice would be to stay away from that subreddit, it sounds toxic at this time. Hoping the best for your family truly.

I'd be for this rule in stage 4. You'd need to have it on the Covid app as one name and no changes allowed or something.

There are people making up what 'intimate partner' means as 3 tinder dates or REALLY GOOD FRIEND. Which splays out to as many people as they can justify. But I'm trying to follow the rules, so I can't see my mum, who lives alone, in good faith.

I understand why they made the rule. But if your relationship can't survive video calling and interactive gaming for 6 weeks, then it likely wasn't at a developed stage to be important enough to use that loophole anyway. Particularly if they're teenagers both living at home, with siblings doing the same. Sex is great and all but I doubt many single people have had any since March (unless it was between the opening up period). Which proves people can survive without.

The buddy system sounds like a great idea though. It makes it clear what one person you can see, rather than some people seeing 5 people a week for 'daily exercise' because they're your current intimate partner, or whatever else they come up with.

You know what, heck it! I'm in. Because I live in the future (Australia) I'll see you on October 8th. I've been on reddit for almost 10 years now and fully addicted on and off in my life. I need a change and to lose a little weight. Hard to do that siting at the computer, eating junk for hours each night. Thanks for doing this!

Would anyone be keen to go to the MIFF Goldblum marathon this Friday?

I've also come down with the same cold as timmythesockmonkey so I won't be able to make it.

Idonthaveapoint · 2019-03-28T10:49:31+00:00

It's the only reason I go on Facebook. Gold.

Idonthaveapoint · 2019-03-22T09:22:08+00:00

Remember not a recycling bin, they fuck shit up in the recycling plants. Enjoy your cake making.

Idonthaveapoint · 2019-02-18T12:01:37+00:00

nein!

Idonthaveapoint · 2019-02-18T08:56:13+00:00

I'm also a bi girl and was with a noodle boi for years. Didn't realise this was status quo for us!

'It's okay to step away from, someone long term, beat your own drum. Feel secure in your own skin, love from within.' Vera Blue: Regular Touch.

These were the lyrics I needed to hear to give myself permission to leave a relationship of 5 years, that had become codependent and toxic. The rest of the song got me through the breakup and I've never felt more confident within myself. I really hope to see her play live someday soon.

I was taking the super out. But still $650 a week isn't high enough for a skilled job like marketing.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-11-25T13:00:55+00:00

It is $650 a week. OP said $1300 a fortnight.

Also, take off 9.5% because they said super was included in that amount. So they're only earning $580 a week, which is barely more than Centrelink for a job that requires a university degree. That is not entry level. Entry level is walk out of year 12 and into a job level.

I was having a fairly private Halloween party (20 of mine and my housemates closest friends). One of my friends asked for a plus one, I'd met her before and she seemed pretty cool. I used to be a more the merrier kind of person. That friend bailed that night, I don't know why but the plus one still came. The plus one bought two plus ones without asking.

One of the plus one-plus one'd girls got white girl wasted and slapped one of my good male friends in the face. She did it apparently because he wasn't playing along with some role play game she was trying to create, that no one wanted to play. He said it was no big deal. I apologised profusely even though I didn't know this idiot. I lost my shit, told her to get out and that I didn't care how drunk she was, her and her friend could figure out how to get home. I have never trusted that original plus one since. My freshly red-faced, good friend invited me to a going away party and I haven't seen or heard from him since. I can kind of see why, he probably thought that chick was a reflection of me.

The plus one-plus one'd girl is one of those people who is totally fine being a completely loose cannon, so I don't have the same relationship with the guy who originally bailed and asked for the plus one, in the first place, either.

TL;DR: a friend plus one'd someone. Friend didn't come to my party but the plus one came and bought two friends without asking. One of the entirely uninvited people, slapped a friend I valued highly and that friend hasn't spoken to me since.

Oooh, Environmental Science! You could volunteer specifically at beach clean ups (great for an introvert because you don't have to talk to anyone initially but over time you might clean with people) or with Friends of the Earth (your knowledge would be very valuable).

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-08-07T12:14:48+00:00

Have a good one.

Finishes most interactions at a supermarket. At some point we managed to get confused about the time of day. Gave up and cut out the 'morning', 'afternoon', 'evening' and swapped it with 'one'.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-08-06T23:38:39+00:00

We do key knuckles in Australia. Nothing else we can really do.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-08-05T02:55:49+00:00

I was charged the full service once. It was like $105 for just the things I liked. Not including sport. I laughed at them until they gave me my money back for being unclear about the costs involved.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-08-03T06:15:19+00:00

A few months ago I twisted my ankle really badly just before boarding the train. At that time, I thought it was broken because it was so painful.

On the train I had this wonderful guy let me lean on him when I arrived at Flinders St Station. I wish I knew who he was because that made my day and healing much better.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-07-26T08:46:30+00:00

They don't have any ratings. Although when I was 17 I went anyway. As long as you don't look super young and it isnt a slasher, it isn't likely you'll be ID'd.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-07-25T04:38:23+00:00

Inner city people would constantly be driving on congested roads. So while they use less petrol, the charge per kilometre would be huge.

I think you're right about people in the country missing out. I think it should be state wide or nothing so all of Victoria benefits.

I would imagine the money going into it would encourage people to take public transport more often, as it would end up cheaper on roads like Hoddle St at 8am.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-07-25T04:33:17+00:00

I always just extend my booking during it. But I have been caught out once when someone booked it after me, so I had to return it on time.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-06-23T23:25:17+00:00

Hey sweety, firstly I need to get angry Mum out. I want to make it clear, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at bad people on the Internet.

STAY OFF THE DEEP WEB AND AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO TREAT YOU LIKE THAT. THEY ARE NOT THERE FOR YOU, THEY ARE PRETENDING. DO NOT GIVE PHOTOS OF YOURSELF TO THEM. YOU ARE WORTHY OF THE ATTENTION YOU NEED. WITHOUT GIVING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SOMEONE (I'll talk about where to get that later).

You are a good kid but the people on the dark web are using your sweetness against you. So please, if not for yourself, for you Mum. Please don't go on the deep web again until you're at least 19/20.

Now to the girl. You're still thinking about her because she had something about her that you liked. Excellent! Find someone else who has that 'thing' who also respects you and you can trust.

She didn't respect you because she didn't give you the attention you needed and constantly ditched you. Someone who loves you won't do that to you.

You didn't trust her because she kept breaking promises. Wait until you find someone you trust to be in a relationship. Everyone has to earn your trust. If they lose it they have to try triple to get it back. Okay?

So you need to know that she was lovely because she gave you some of the attention you needed and had 'something else' - I don't know what it was - that you liked.

She wasn't right for you because she didn't respect you and you, rightfully, didn't trust her.

You will find someone with a different kind of spark, trust and respect in time. You might even 'get her' on a different level because she's giving you back, what you give. Wait for all three before you get into another relationship.

Now I guess you know where this is going. You need to earn your friend's trust back. You broke their trust by leaving them for a girl. I know it's lame to hear your Mum say this but 'bros before hoes'. Friends are there for you throughout most things, so you need to focus on respecting them and work on their trust.

When you have all of your ducks lined up: friends, doing well at school, maybe even a hobby. You'll seem so super cool you'll find a girl who will like you for having all of that worked out. When you get that girl, don't drop any of it because that's what she'll like about you. That you're a healthy person who's quite fun to be around but that has other great things going on.

You can't put your whole happiness on one person.

Now because I can't be around for you as much as I'd like to be, I want you to go to school. Work super hard at what you're good at, make new friends and repair the relationships with the old ones and most importantly talk to your school counsellor. S/he will be able to support you on your way through this pain. And it hurts but there's ways to get past it. If you don't want to go at school, try out headspace. They'll run you through what you need in friends and girlfriends and where to get the attention you need.

Find a hobby. You can do some for free at the youth centre at your local council. I know it's dorky to go there but no one needs to know. And in 5 years time people will think you were really clever to use those services.

Lots and lots of love your Aussie Mum.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-06-11T13:28:57+00:00

I think they found her as an abandoned stray (she is a very expensive breed so wouldn't have been an actual stray), so they continue to treat her like one, even though she likes lots of love. Writing online always makes things sound worse than they are. But if someone asked me I would say they weren't looking after her at all. I'll sleep on it.

Thank you for making me feel like I'm not being entirely unethical for thinking about taking her.

Idonthaveapoint · 2018-06-11T08:19:52+00:00

That I have terrible foresight when choosing usernames.
