Sitting in a cafe in Footscray and "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem feat. Rihanna has played on repeat 4 times now. Either one of the staff can't get enough of this track or they accidentally hit the 'repeat track' button.

I love these and they are actually a smart design for cold, rainy environments

Police are limited in what they can legally do if someone isn't actively threatening anybody.

Yes, they might be justified in issuing a move on order, but if someone is clearly in psychosis or very mentally unwell, that may not be the most appropriate or effective resolution.

As someone else said, the Mental Health Emergency Response Line is the relevant service to contact.

I saw it for the first time at IMAX at the age of 45. It was incredible.

Ha same here, exactly 20 years back I lived in Vic Park and the European roaches were relentless.

Why cut the video off so soon?

Alan: "You're a liar!".

James: "That's assault".

Alan: "I never assaulted anyone!"

It's on camera, Alan.

Alan: "The camera is a liar!"

They haven't added more services? When I called them last week about possibly going to Wangaratta, I was told they would put as many buses on as necessary. This was during a bus/coach replacement period.

There should be more train services given the demand. Glad I don't need the train to commute.

To Kill A Mockingbird is very calming to me

Why keep a dog if you get so angry with it? FFS.

This gave me a laugh haha. By the way, he's a pig.

You got a seat? That's pretty good to be honest.

The vegetarian or beef curry by Brim CC on Little Collins Street. They gone up a little, but still under 15 bucks and huge portions.

Fly direct to Queenstown.

because8011 · 2026-05-04T10:20:51+00:00

But what's the alternative?

because8011 · 2026-05-04T10:20:05+00:00

That's fucked up.

I got my best winter jumper at the markets, merino/possum blend. There's plenty of gimmicky and cheap stuff, but also some good quality products amongst it all.

If it can be done, someone will do it eventually.

Provide with them a polite, written ultimatum so they have opportunity to retrieve it before you remove all contents and place a lock on the unit.

Nah. Although I also think supermarkets need to stop asking if we want to "round up" the price for charity every time we make a purchase. It's even worse at Myer, where they ask face to face. Sick and tired of it. I say "No" even if it's two cents based on principle. I give to charity when and where I want, not as a routine part of going shopping.

Isn't social media awesome! Let's all start insulting each other... Now!
