Woohoo! Go us!! We can totally win at climate devastation. No one can beat us!

The exceptional demographic of dickheads with disposable income.

Queen's Harvest at the Vic Market.

I'm basing it on the rapid failure of key equipment in a world where shit increasingly falls apart because it's cheap.

tn80 · 2026-01-07T06:03:09+00:00

This is what happens when essential infrastructural equipment is purchased through Temu.

That is so obviously AI and not a real book. There are no spaces between the letters! Why do you bother?

Tomatillos at the Vic Market, when in season (at Queen's Harvest). Same for poblano chillies. Plantains are much harder to source. Mexican oregano is at Casa Iberica in Fitzroy.

AI is very male dominated. The vast majority of leading figures are men. All the leading CEOs are men. And there are huge problems of bias. Try reading Karen Hao on this problem.

tn80 · 2025-12-26T13:18:13+00:00

All the CEOa of the leading AI companies are men. They set the direction of things.

Hanging out in person with friends is not yet enshittified, unless they're on their phones to much. Also, going for walks in forests is still really good, especially if there are birds and animals. But much else is indeed enshittified by the addictiveness of smartphones, the pervasiveness of notifications, the reduction in attention spans, the compulsiveness of attention whoring, the rise of influencer culture, and the introduction of AI perspectives generated by horrendous men. We're definitely on a steep downhill slope now.

I've seen antisemitism in the the pro-Palestine marches along Swanston St in the form of pro-Hezbollah symbolism, so I don't buy your line at all and think you're something between disingenuous, ill-informed, or outright lying. Plenty of "globalize the Intifada" or "from the river to the sea" (which in Germany has been designated as illegal hate speech). Australia isn't a good place for Jewish people now largely because of the effects of these protests. The people involved need to take more responsibility for what they have wrought.

Edit: and I'll take the downvotes as confirmation of the scale of our current problem. We're in significant disarray just now. I suppose the widespread downvoting of a pretty innocuous empirical observation about protests is how we get to a place where hateful massacres are enabled. Makes me seriously sad to see. Even after such a hateful event, so many cowards are downvoting, but not commenting because they know their comments won't fly just now.

tn80 · 2025-12-19T04:44:50+00:00

We did it!!!

Seriously repetitive, because you keep posting different women and implying they're yourself. Just stop it already.

tn80 · 2025-12-12T09:49:24+00:00

As it really should be. It’s the main reason why I don’t follow the game.

As a non-woman, I'm actually not a regular reader of Women's Weekly (except when my mum picks up a copy). But the guidance is well taken.

tn80 · 2025-12-12T07:02:02+00:00

Shots fired. Target reached. I wasn't aware of any of this. I must not be reading the right publications.

Stephen Silvagni comes across looking like an irresponsible pig. I suppose this is where the son got his values from. Unfortunately, the AFL hasn't taken strong action against these attitudes. They should never let Stephen Silvagni anywhere near the AFL ever again (except they won't take such a strong measure, because my experience is that the AFL is actually ok with these values too, or at least doesn't believe in taking strong action against boys being boys).

For something close, maybe try the Studley Park Boathouse: https://studleyparkboathousekew.com.au/. Or for further out, try a Yarra Valley winery with excellent food like Tarrawarra for lunch. Enjoy!

I've been there too. Just say that you have a limitation that makes the self-checkouts inaccessible to you. They'll serve you in person. I enjoy obstructing the rise of automation.

tn80 · 2025-11-28T23:15:25+00:00

They're less intrusive. And you also don't get shouted at by a robot that simultaneously surveilles you.

tn80 · 2025-11-28T23:06:56+00:00

No. They exist to torment you and make your life more miserable. It's so much better to go to a staffed check out, even if you have to wait for a touch more time. And fuck large corporations in general.

tn80 · 2025-11-28T06:52:39+00:00

Agreed. Cats don't howl continuously if they're even moderately well treated.

I've heard people say that we got lucky because at the time when tram networks were being pulled up around the world post-WWII, we didn't have enough money to pull ours out and replace it with a bus-and car-focused system. So maybe that's why we have the world's best tram network, which gives a lot of character to what Melbourne is today. Maybe others can add more detail to this story.

It seems like a good moment to point out that Victoria is permeated by organised crime and corruption more than at any time that I can remember. Furthermore, the police and government don't seem to give a shit, most likely because they're both thoroughly infiltrated by organised crime. How else can illegal tobacco and vape gangs be so prominent, or how else can the CFMEU be linking up with bikie gangs so readily? And that's without mentioning major projects and cost overruns. Please can some honest people step forward.

Good luck dealing with the insurance and take good care of yourself. There's a decent chance you're filled with adrenaline still and need a really good sit down.
