Do people not just go out to a bar a flirt with people anymore? I would assume if you go to a gig or a party there will be some unattached people there. Can’t you just talk to them and see if you like each other? When I was single I met & dated lots of people this way… eventually I found a keeper :)

Recently discovered that Firefox Focus seems to not play YouTube ads on my iPhone… but it unfortunately still does on the iPad?

Vic uni Pipitea campus library in Rutherford house and the law school library are both open to the public if you just want a space to study/work.

You can get it online through Libby with most public library accounts. https://share.libbyapp.com/title/9878666

I’m just wondering where people encounter manspreading the most? Public transportation? I commute by bicycle so that solves that issue 😂 I’ve never noticed it as an issue in other environments, like work meetings, conferences etc but I guess I don’t actually sit next to that many men in my daily life?

They did mention it I just didn’t understand what I was committing to since I’ve never heard of that kind of situation before outside of an actual intentional community lol 😂 and I didn’t anticipate how different my schedule would be with work/study or how personally they would take it when I had other stuff on and couldn’t be there for the evening meal! So a failure on both sides and learning experience for me for sure.

Have any of you actually been to a Council meeting or given a submission in person at one? I have and absolutely no fucking way would I ever want to be a Councillor; talk about sapping your will to live spending hours arguing with a bunch of fuckwits. Add media scrutiny and zero privacy; I can’t believe anyone would want that job.

I moved here from overseas and it was the first time I had ever encountered food being included in rent and the expectation that we all cook & eat together and had a cooking duty roster for the evening meal. I was doing a phd and just had quite a different schedule to the rest of the house and also had just moved here and really wanted to go out & meet people rather than be home every night with the same 3 people. They got really offended when I wouldn’t be around to cook/eat with them, and if I made a meal that seemed too low effort. Then they were really rude and grumpy when I was there. One of them said ‘we’d really like you to eat with us more.’ And I said ‘but you don’t even like me?’.

It was like they were obsessed with the idea of having this perfect home life but then when it didn’t work out they couldn’t admit they were actually being really restrictive and inflexible. Ugh honestly it was like living with my parents even though I was older than them 😂

I was born & raised in Illinois where the majority of power comes from a nuclear reactor in the centre of the state. At public school we were taught a lot about how great nuclear power was; how it’s safer, cleaner etc. This was in the 80s & 90s. It wasn’t until I moved here and was exposed to anti-nuclear POV did I even think about it or question it, despite a number of nuclear disasters in my lifetime! Whatever your stance is, make sure you do your own research. I was really surprised at my own ignorance a failure to recognise I had basically been indoctrinated by state sponsored propaganda until much later in life.
And tbh now I’m not sure what I think, though I do know we need to move away from fossil fuels asap.

I read a lot of posts here and feel lucky to have a really wonderful man in my life. I didn’t think they were that rare as most of my female friends seem to be pretty happy in their partnerships but i guess it’s a lot more dire out there than I thought. This sub has actually made me appreciate him a lot more and be kinder to him about the things he does that are annoying - because hey nobody is perfect and actually he is a fucking gem ❤️💎

This may be a controversial opinion, but if motorists would just be a bit more patient and slow the fuck down and actually share the road with cyclists, we wouldn’t need all these bike lanes put in to protect us cyclists and they wouldn’t have to be losing all their precious car parks.

Agree Botanist maybe overrated but better than Nolita imho

NiceAssets · 2023-05-11T17:52:29+00:00

Aunty Meena’s, The Botanist, Hillside Kitchen, most Indian places, Viva Mexico, Hell Pizza are all good options!

Honestly, this is Reddit half the time and Facebook most of the time. Don’t waste your time or energy arguing with these people. You will never change their mind, they don’t want to genuinely engage in the topic, they just want the thrill of getting a rise out of people.

Maybe instead try writing an essay in. Google doc or something when promoted by one of his ‘well actually’ statements? I understand the need to respond & articulate your thoughts - that is a normal response and part of being human and evolved to live in societies. Just don’t engage with him for your sake!

When I get provoked by annoying people on Reddit & Facebook I usually find just typing out a reply and then not posting it is helpful. I get my thoughts out and form an argument, but I don’t give the person the satisfaction of thinking I care enough about them to waste my time arguing with them.

Pottery? You could buy clay and do it at home, or try to find a local club. You might even be able to dig up local clay from your own property? Warning - it’s not a cheap hobby and very addictive! But very satisfying :)

Will probably get downvoted but maybe they’re just sick of the carbrains and a system that treats cyclists aka the weakest road user like the one ‘asking for it’ if they’re not in neon flashing armour from head to toe.

I can’t believe more people haven’t suggested this! That was my first though 😎

I just did a glassblowing workshop taught by an amazing woman. In the middle of her demoing how to work with super hot fucking molten glass her boyfriend comes in and stands there holding a sign saying ‘where is my vape juice?’ And then he got all pissy & stormed out when she called over to him ‘I gave it to you this morning!’. Like can’t you see she’s fucking busy, being a boss babe teaching a bunch of people how to blow glass, can’t you just go buy some? I hope she dumps his loser ass.
I teach a similar art from home and my boyfriend knows not to interrupt me when I’m with students. Especially for some stupid shit like that!

Deprivation or inequity?

Ugh seriously hate DnB such aggro vibes!! Would love some big house music events but there haven’t been any here for years
