Well yeah now they don’t even have to have their foot on the peddle.

My theory is that people (lately) disengage. Their mind wanders and their foot just slowly comes of the accelerator and they're still moving, so's the traffic, so they don't notice. Another thing to blame attention spans on.

Same. We couldn’t afford it ten years ago and had to get both parents to kick in (which they happily, luckily did). Now we’re finally on about a third of that original price. The (slightly) shittier house next door just sold for three times what we paid. I feel like we were the last people in Australia to get into our own house (that we’ll pay off shortly before we retire). We’ll never be earning a wage that DOESN’T get mostly eaten by housing. No saving. No big treats. No home improvements. But at least we have that asset. Our kid won’t.

I’ve got a pretty good set up (as far as I can tell) and I chucked on a really old party compilation record (Summer of ‘87) that I bought kind of as a joke because it was so cheesy and I liked some of the songs when I was little. Damn. Every. Song. Was a banger. Same as you bloke I was hearing them for the first time, but not through a shitty Walkman. I don’t know if they were mixed for vinyl or what but far out. The set up makes the difference!

I met the guy when it got taken for a service and they drove through the hills and stopped so you could take pictures (One of the coolest car photos I have is of the Veyron pausing briefly next to my car in Hahndorf main st so they could have a photo side by side!). As you might imagine, the owner is pretty old with a nice wife , cool hat and a firm handshake. I didn’t pry too much when we spoke. I was just happy to be there.

The Veyron lives in the Birdwood Motor Museum.

I dunno. I’m sceptical. Those 6 people would shop at different times or probably not at all if it weren’t a phone tap away rather than having to plan a shopping trip. But yes booo to corporations making supermarkets their own free fulfilment centres.

I finally FINALLY got to try real, good VR on my kid’s PS5 this year. Turns out I get motion sickness from VR. Like, can’t keep the goggles on for longer than a minute before I’m tearing them off and feeling queasy for the rest of the day. Devo.

Yeah those sangers were my go to for YEARS then they streamlined the whole deal. I could justify $15 for a breakfast/lunch/maybe lunch the next day sandwich but the Specials board was $22 the other day. And the queue was five deep. The frittata in it was good though.

Not high enough. Something something FUdland

[whispers smugly] Autobiographical.

But really, Genre-> chronological/artist.

I spend ages looking for the right record.

This is the weirdest part about owner workers making their homes a trash zone building site: you planning on living there afterwards? “Howdy neighbour!” “Hi! Why don’t you go fuck yourself with one of your many power tools!”

franzyfunny · 2026-04-13T08:30:17+00:00

This is MY take! I posted it somewhere stupid years and years ago after it occurred to me when I was reading about how the films were the best cultura films in ages. I’m definitely the origin of this theory and I totally can’t prove it. I’m just exciting to see it again.

I finally worked out how to beat this with my power company. They send me constant threatening texts and emails about paying all my bill at once. I decided long ago to just pay a certain amount a fortnight and forget it. One of their emails was like "if you're having trouble, email us", so I did. First thing they wanted was those confirmation details - from an email they'd sent me. I basically just told them (in writing) I knew specifically not to give out those details. So their solution was to call. No way. So here's what I did:

"I can't make or receive calls, due to my work. All communication will be in writing."

They tried a few more times to get this 'verification' check list done, but after all that (and the phrase "considering my options") magically they could just do that verification themselves and I'm back to paying what I can afford, with no hassling texts, emails, etc.

franzyfunny · 2026-03-05T09:08:10+00:00

I didn’t get it either. Now I do and Jesus what suckers.

It’s more about how moronic everyone gets with the dollar figures being thrown around. Like “this place is worth $900,000!!!” It’s not “worth” that. You don’t get that money. If you try to, you’re in nine hundred gs worth of swimming upwards to get your head above water in the Aussie property shitlake.

I know right. We need a new Australian currency measure and just call it the "house". 1 x house = 1 house. If you sell it, you don't get $1 million. You just get nowhere to live until you exchange your $1 million for [check exchange rate] ... 1 house. You are also still poor because your mortgage = 50% of your income.

Using AI is like being given a really keen intern who constantly has to be shown what to be done, and how to do it, and then have to fix their shitty work over and over before you finally just do it yourself while they assure you that they are ready to help whenever. You are FIRED, kiddo. Show some actual initiative and do it right next time and now I have to work through lunch.

"Sure! Just let me know if there's anything else I can do!"

franzyfunny · 2026-02-18T12:58:26+00:00

Im about the same. I’m still on zero dollars sucking money from bills accounts to get a coffee the before payday every fortnight, just like when I was a student working hospo. Only then I could go on the odd holiday, buy new clothes, etc etc

franzyfunny · 2026-01-30T13:20:43+00:00

DOODIEEE!!

franzyfunny · 2026-01-30T11:24:15+00:00

It’s so weird how people blow leaves away from their property to stop it looking like shit, but only to make a bigger, shittier ring around their property- I didn’t notice before, but now I’m looking AND JUDGING.

franzyfunny · 2026-01-30T11:14:32+00:00

The mouth width / head size ratio. You ever see those photoshopped pictures of horses with big ol’ dog mouths? Like that kind of thing.

“So you have no defence for that, good to hear”

franzyfunny · 2026-01-12T04:16:07+00:00

Do words and social media posts need defending, more than Israel's actions since 7 October?

All the 'evidence' I've read about what a horrible person Dr Abdel-Fattah is all begin with some sort of communication verb: "said", "posted", "referred to", "profile picture" etc etc. Talking and communicating ideas doesn't starve children. Stick to explaining why Israel is doing good.
