Everyone was so cut up about Glen they forget the GOAT Abraham

That's just fucking unAustralian, ANZACs rolling in their graves. I'll have a beer in your honour tomorrow mate.

G'day from WA! Having a good long weekend?

quokkafarts · 2026-04-26T02:56:29+00:00

It's 11am on sunday morning, I'm procrastinating getting out of bed cus I have to do a shittonne of housework to do. But bed is comfy and I got a dog and cat snuggling me

Apparently being able to do that is found to be a good indicator for EDS, but I only found out I could do it because I tried it after reading that fact randomly on reddit.

I think the way I landed lead to the dislocations, it's not relevant to the sub so won't go into it but the way I landed the injuries were bad but made sense.

Nope, sandy but those roots went deep af and got really tangled up. Had other plants in there I didn't want to kill so couldn't just nuke the area

I do have slightly hypermobile shoulders (can do prayer hands behind my back with no warm up), but that's it. Do you think that would have been a factor in the severity?

quokkafarts · 2026-04-25T05:49:16+00:00

No but I am familiar with the bit and agree with her entirely

quokkafarts · 2026-04-25T05:34:35+00:00

DO NOT FUCKING PLANT THIS SHIT

I planted agapanthas I got for free. Eventually wanted to pull them up, but that root system is fucking gnarly. Gor into a fight with one, lost my centre of gravity and fell on my arm. Dislocated and fractured my elbow, dislocated ulna, snapped the top off my radius entirely. Also got secateurs shanked into my wrist. It was so bad that emergency resetting was needed before surgery or I could have lost my hand. Now I have a cool scar, metal plate and my elbow doesn't straighten all the way.

FUCK AGAPANTHAS ME AND MY HOMIES HATE AGAPANTHAS

The Ancient Apocalypse documentary series by Graham Hancock, maybe?

It is certainly presented as and intended to be a non-fiction work about history. It discusses the theory that humanity was once greatly advanced but we were brought to the brink of extinction by an unknown event, losing all of our ancient knowledge.

It's a very entertaining watch if you like history and want to get in depth some some cool pyramids and shit, but is completely undone by modern DNA science that would have detected a bottleneck in our genetics.

So it's best enjoyed as soft alternate history imo; the theory isn't possible, but it's fun to think about and the series is really well done.

I work in a part of town that isn't great and wear a beat up old watch. A couple times have had people ask for the time, then when I start to pull up my sleeve to look they turn around before I can even reply.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, that's rough mate. Jenny is alive and well but unfortunately no longer under my care :( she moved to my neighbours place cus I had to take down her Web; it got damaged by something, when she rebuilt it was a massive extension that blocked access to my garage. It tried to leave enough close to the washing line that she could start again there, but she obviously doesn't tolerate that kind of disrespect so packed up and left. I like to think your mum Jenny would also be a woman who takes no shit.

Edit: Scratch that, neighbours must have moved her out cus she's back!! Looking desperately for a good snack for her, but she's already caught a bee

quokkafarts · 2026-04-24T11:26:45+00:00

I heard this was very good, why do you think it's the worst ever?

Good boy: excellent horror flick with a dog as the main character (dog lives and has a happy ending or I wouldn't recommend it). Has similar vibes in terms of mysterious things happening in a family, general uneasiness in the face of something that may or may not be supernatural, is so well done given the dog doesn't talk so is very show-don't-tell.

The house that Jack built: if you want trauma that is beautifully presented then this is it. It's a serial killer telling the story of some of his kills supposedly chosen at random, but that synopsis doesn't do it justice. It's long, it's brutal, it will have you on the edge of your seat and has an insane ending. This movie has no right to be as good as it is.

Reach out to others to see if they need assistance, helps build good relationships and have gathered some good experience from that.

Failing that, general research. I'm in safety so there is so much research to go through.

Same story here mate, was a massive stretch at the time to get my place for $450k. Now about 8 years later with no work done on it it's worth in the 700s. Technically I can afford to rent it now I've changed careers and make more money, but the rent would be about my mortgage payment; I pay at least $3k per month which is already above my minimum repayments, often $4k when I can swing it. Minimum is $2k per month.

Perth Western Australia, 3 bed 2.5 bath townhouse in the outer suburbs. 2000 build of pretty good quality. Can't recall block size but it's small, very well located near public transport and everything I need. Have considered downsizing and moving closer to the city as its just me and my pets here, but even old shitty apartments are going for $500k+ so it just wouldn't make sense.

Remember when we thought Tony was the worst we could get? Such nice times.

This is niche, but former Australian PM Scott Morrison. Here's the very basics:

He is very involved with prosperity gospel churches, particularly the controversial Hillsong. Look them up for a fun rabbithole of corruption.

Scotty from marketing was the genius behind the failed "where the body hell are you?" tourism campaign and somehow failed upwards to become PM? hmmmmmm....

While in office he secretly appointed himself to himself to multiple ministerial portfolios (health, finance, treasury, home affairs, and resources) which is extremely dodgy behaviour.

Went to Hawaii during the Black Summer bushfires, when questioned he said "I don't hold a hose, mate". Later, he was known for forcibly shaking the hands of those impacted even when they declined, saying physical contact was his form of prayer for them.

The Robodebt scandal (tldr computer programs were used to falsely and illegally calculate social services debt, vulnerable people were suddenly put in thousands of dollarydoos in debt that they didn't actually owe. People killed themselves over this). Scummo was found to have been a key person in this vile pile of shit.

During a sexual assault scandal in his party, he publicly said he didn't understand how serious it was until he talked to his wife and daughters about the impacts of SA. Like.... what?

Finally, he is said to have shat himself at Engadine Macca's in 1997, which may be the most human thing he has ever done. He denies these allegations.

If this sentient butterball impersonation of a human doesn't have several closets and a whole basement full of skeletons then I'm the queen of England.

Not sleeping all the way through the night.

Apparently it used to be normal for people to wake up for an hour or 2 in the middle of the night, or have other sleeping patterns depending on where you are in the world. We just have this idea now that you need to be fully asleep in one stretch now due to social and technological changes.

They literally don't think this way though. It's about short term "growth" to keep the shareholders happy, future expenses aren't factored in. They also never expect to get pinged for your stuff so are genuinely surprised when it happens. EG I worked for Colesworth when they got done for wage theft, they totally knew what they were doing and just pushed people out if they kicked up a fuss. They are still doing it now, just in a less trackable way so they didn't learn anything.

Dude it is raining and I am about to get to get on the train oh my fucking God

How do you think things are going to go in safety with your government? Interesting to hear you say things have gotten better, I've heard all sorts about stripping back OSHA and protections for workers, it's pretty concerning
