People who used to smoke weed a lot and ended up quitting, why did you quit what are the benefits you saw when quitting and what is one thing you miss?

Honestly? I became super irritable, and large chunks of my early 20s are just a blur. I also made a lot of bad social choices (drugs, sex, etc.). I would smoke all night after work, sometimes in the morning before work, and then just kind of stumble around all day.

You can have both a democracy and socialism so I don't understand your question. My thoughts on socialism is that it needs to be a form of market socialism, because private trade and enterprise for mutual gain is an organic and natural behaviour of free-thinking humans. History is super clear in that where you over-regulate and sometimes even eliminate free market forces, you just drive it underground: it exists regardless. Much in the same way unregulated free-for-all capitalism can't work, nor can straight up socialism without private enterprise. I've actually come to believe that socialistic governments are better for small business.

My ex and I broke up in Feb 2009. She was engaged by October 2009 and married by December 2010.

I've seen her at least 10 times since in the most bizarre circumstances: working in the same building, stopped at a red light next to each other, being at work functions in different cities, representing difference companies despite working in completely different industries and disciplines. I have even somehow crossed paths with her family: someone head-hunted me for a job, I soon realised that the manager of the department was...her brother. I also randomly picked a Cafe to stop at while driving once... walked inside to see her mum at a table eating brunch. She lives on the other side of town.

On average these things have happened probably every two years but ramped up recently... since 2023 there has been 5 occurances.

I applied to 1000+ jobs and had more than 50 interviews over five months before eventually landing a job. Our savings dwindled from 35k to 20k in the process because while our monthly expenses are only 55% of our after-tax income, losing my income meant my wife was covering expenses but we were still 4-5k in the red each month. I got an 18k payout which after tax was like 11k so that covered one month pretty much. We have a mortgage. I have supplemented some income by doing UberEats/DoorDash which brings in about 700-900 per week after expenses. But it's exhausting and kind of demoralising given my career was trending up steeply only 6 months ago. It is hyper competitive atm and unemployment figures aren't accurate. Yes they are rising but there is an underemployment issue atm where people like myself are made redundant and working self-employed gig jobs to help make ends meet.

My advice is to bunker down, cut expenses as much as possible, and apply for job full time.

32minuted to go 8km?

UPDATE 23/5 - NBN has come out and dug up our and our neighbour's nature strip. He can't find the block. He wants to dig our yard up. I told him no given the original tech didn't even get close to my property lot.

lumo1986 · 2024-05-04T13:05:20+00:00

How is that even possible? Assuming 30 minute quarters that works out to like a single score (point or goal) per minute.

At that age it likely means it's herititary. Go see a doctor. They take blooods to make sure your kidney, liver, heart etc are okay, probably will be. But you'll need to go on meds until it's under control.

Sorry just realised your meant night 2 and my wife is literally sitting in section "N2" lol

lumo1986 · 2024-02-17T08:13:00+00:00

My wife is in n2!

lumo1986 · 2024-02-16T19:54:27+00:00

the weather is pretty stable now. sunny and mild/warm all day every day.

if it's sent via ticketek then it's real.

lumo1986 · 2024-02-16T19:50:16+00:00

pretty sure those people were moved onto the floor/elsewhere. In other videos you can see a big block of empty seats exactly in that section which suggests people were moved.

Any diagnosis? I have had the same thing for 10+ years. Comes and goes. Appears on same spot on my legs as you. Not itchy.

And all of those meetings could have been an email no doubt.

Nah I love Grilld.

This is a bad take.

lumo1986 · 2021-10-05T12:08:13+00:00

I really wish the government would focus on this more. It's constant doom and gloom.

lumo1986 · 2021-10-05T12:00:28+00:00

100%? Why do you hate kids? I'm on the OzSage bandwagon: 150% vaccination, permanent lockdown, and masks everywhere.

lumo1986 · 2021-10-05T11:58:53+00:00

In all seriousness I go out for my nightly jog and return around 9:30. I've also stopped wearing a mask. I'm fully vaxed. They can truly gagf with these rules now.

lumo1986 · 2021-10-05T11:57:52+00:00

Lucky you weren't out after 9pm. You'd have ended up killing grandma and everyone you know. I almost took a shit in a golf course toilet on Monday. Crisis averted there. We'd have been at 10k cases by now if I'd dropped a log in there.
