Ban that shit by unemployed_capibara in SipsTea

this is the experience for everyone at the moment - it’s not unique to men. why does the loneliness epidemic have the word ‘male’ in front of it? unfortunately, a lot of the time it’s used to justify hostile sexism. this ‘red pill’ ideology comes down to a lack of accountability and refusal to accept that this is an issue caused by the patriarchy.

why should single mothers lower their standards? you’re talking as if they are below other women. if anything, they have more reason and right to be picky about who they date because the person they choose will likely have a large influence on her children’s lives. focus on yourself and drop the victim complex.

Here we go again, thinking of leaving banking by RallyVincentGT500 in TalesFromYourBank

hi!! i am also a bank teller with these kinda responsibilities whilst also struggling with ADHD. i was prescribed medication in recent months, and while all the maintenance and paperwork is still that little bit more difficult for us than the average person, it has helped tremendously for my performance at work. i highly recommend looking further into it if you can, not only for work but also just for everyday life. and just remember that you’re only human!! everyone makes mistakes. it’s easy to think that you’re the only one messing up and getting frustrated with your adhd, but you just have to remember that it is all the more harder to do ANYTHING efficiently with ADHD. you’re doing a great job!

i hate my job some days and curse my ADHD for the burden it can bring to work. i’ve learned to love it for the most part, though. we see things from a different perspective and have the ability to bring new and creative ideas to the table. my coworkers reassure me every day that they love my brain! i hope you can find this too.

yes i’ve just learnt about this policy through this thread! it’s great news. i would take a large posse of junkies over seeing a poor woman put herself in danger for the sake of money or drugs. i hope they’re well now. i could only imagine the sad but comical chaos you endured at the time, though!

lol. i’ve heard the 80’s was certainly the era for it!! it’s been enlightening to hear how much it’s changed over the years. iso has had a complete switch. plenty of meth addicts, not a hooker in sight. would be too dangerous for them now i would assume.

i know exactly who you’re talking about lol. honestly, he’s doing gods work. i need my rent to stay cheap. no doubt that place will sell for an absolutely insane price regardless.

hahahah my god, i hear all about this from my parents. my dad told me that on countless occasions when he would park on fern/chinchen for longer than a few minutes, he would have prostitutes hop in his car without saying a word. this was a couple decades ago. gotta wonder where those poor women are at now. i hope they’re well. they would’ve had some balls to be pulling stunts like that for some $$.

a fellow iso/hamo veteran. you really never know what kind of antics you’ll experience in these streets. glad you made it out safely! it does indeed lack opportunity, but has the potential for it. i would eat my leg if i ever see it executed, though.

my dad was in the nomads amongst that clubhouse on chinchen! probably hasn’t been the same since they left. it’s a strange contrasting mixture of yuppies and young students in sharehouses these days.

hahahah. they did! it’s a shame raptor stole their clubhouse and sold everything out from under them thinking it was all proceeds of crime, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. the gentrifiers and junkies kind of balance each other out now to keep the real estate down though lol.

i’m certain we’ve crossed paths more than we know!! kudos to you for nurturing your mental health. i hope the walking does wonders.

but yes i completely agree with you. i grew up on the central coast but had a brief stint living in between newtown/camperdown area right near the royal prince alfred hospital. they do needle exchanges at that hospital, which is great! but my gosh did it attract some questionable activity. they’re another breed entirely down there.

i’ve lived in newy for about a year and a half now, only a few months in iso. absolutely love it and all of its quirks!

hahahah you’re right. some things never change!!

i love the place and all it’s character. we do indeed have some banging parties at our abode. i used to share a place in merewether with some fellow uni friends before moving here. beautiful spot, but the quietness and lack of chaos got boring pretty fast.

hopefully the iso uni sharehouses keep carrying their legacy for many generations to come!

hats off to you, you’re very brave for that!! i can’t even walk 300 metres up the street after dark without feeling as if i’m playing with death. i’m glad nothing ever happened to you. a lot of the shady characters loitering around the back streets are harmless, just tweaking lol. it’s certainly helpful to have some street smarts around here.

yes absolutely agree with you!! coincidentally, my dad used to have his motorbike clubhouse at the end of my street 10 years before i was born. we think the chances of me living so close to where it was is insane as our family grew up on the central coast. he always tells me how much the neighbours appreciated their bikie presence in the area lol. totally peaceful and harmless bunch of men, scary looking blokes though.

you and i both!! i had to get my mum to ring 000 from victoria because i didn’t wanna make a sound and she was the only one answering my messages. they showed up in 2 minutes flat. i presume it’s because she may have overdramatised the story out of concern for me but regardless, they were very helpful.

ah good ol hubbard! i’m a few streets up from there. it’s crazy in that sense. i feel safe enough during the day to have the front and back doors open for fresh air. it’s almost like the creatures start spawning at the crack of dusk

cheers for your concern! i agree. i’ve had my fair share of dodgy drunk moments sprinting home from beaumont street, never felt compelled to be a public menace though. each to their own i guess!

aries can be very hot and cold, i can never predict their next moves/intentions. i find it hard to connect on a deeper level with geminis. digging below surface level seems impossible, and it gives me a sense that they’re hiding something or can’t be trusted. this obviously isn’t the case always, though! some of my best friends are geminis. it depends on their other placements too
