    Good fucking loooord

    TW Diddy trial

    I’ve caught up a bit on the Diddy trial.

    What the actual fuck. Cassie was a damn sex slave. Her bravery on the stand is awe inspiring.

    I think we need to write off Diddy entirely and send the cunt into the sun.

      too expensive. Just have him shot, wayyyyyy cheaper. And ideally if we just go for the leg or arm or something he’ll bleed out nice and slowly.

      I’ll probably be awake then, too. Sigh. I’m so over not being able to sleep (well, I can eventually get to sleep but then keep waking up in the early hours, when all the thoughts are bad and everything’s a catastrophe).

      Can’t wait for Friday night when I can take a Restavit

    Update: She just missed out. She’s in a good mood though and she’ll give it another go in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the well wishes ❤️

      She’s among excellent company, I failed my first test too. The nerves are much less second time around.

      I failed my first test but had spent the test sweet talking the instructor about my medical volunteer work in Bihar, where the tester was originally from, so she passed me. My only failure was a stop sign but I was pulling into peak hour traffic jam so it’s not like I blew through it, just pulled out and waited for traffic to let me in. Traffic was great around Carlton, everyone gave me heaps of room.

      Some of the best drivers I know passed only after multiple rounds, and meanwhile I was a very anxious driver that took a whole year to start driving solo even after getting my Ls, but managed to barely pass the first time around. I really do think they took pity on me for my age though

      Bummer CEO, I failed my first test as well, I didn’t even make it out onto the main road before I failed but I retook it and passed a few weeks later.

      She’ll get it next time!

    Another piccy from Nepal taken from slides that no one asked for:

    I’m pretty sure that’s namche baazar or maybe tengboche and everest top left.

    First time seeing snow. Also remember buying a mars bar in namche for $5USD which hurt. Beers at the tea houses were like $0.50c at 4000m elevation lol. As a 13yr old it was great. I was blamed by the teachers on the trip for spearheading trips to tea houses. I was just following everyone else but they didn’t believe me.

        lol. From memory the ganja was growing literally everywhere on that trek.

        We were told if we picked any / bought any we’d be sent home :(

    Anyone remember that guy from The Other Place who was pretty hard done by and had a bunch of kids and he and his wife found out another was on the way with, like, basically moments to go? I wonder how he’s doing.

      Yes, his username contained “g” or “gee” right and the number 2?

      Edit: Removed link, but I believe the profile is geetwo_g2

        I remember that, G 7 or something? Or was that the nickname for the child?

        Spent quite a bit of time in hospital if I remember.

        Sad to hear that the funds weren’t used for the purpose people thought it was originally.

      I wound up hiding that account. A bunch of people chipped in to help him with something specific and he spent the money on something else, then lined up to have another kid. Fuck’s sake mate, wrap it up. Just felt they were always in a ditch and posting about all the digging they were doing to keep themselves there. e: I remember, it was “the snip” that people chipped in for.

      Speaking of people from the other place, there was someone who had just gotten an ADHD diagnosis, was on here for a bit in the beginning?

    One way I can tell I’m enjoying, or at least tolerating, this new job is I’ve been here since January and I haven’t felt the need to jump on Seek and just see what’s around. That’s impressive considering this is a mostly in office job, but it’s close to home, the people there are chill, and I’ve been getting some actual results in the work I’m doing.

    I was always passively looking at my old job at the more ‘interesting’ workplace, and same with the work form home job that sounded great on paper. I used Marketing Cloud in both of those roles and I feel like that was a big reason for me not liking both jobs.

    They say people don’t leave organisations, they leave managers. Maybe we should add shitty tools to the list of things people leave too.

    The man power walking through the house when he hears the garbos this morning. Priceless. The wife smugly says “I’ve already put it out”. Priceless.
