Chat gpt 4o is a bit scary imho. We can’t trust video or voice any more due to deepfakes, now we have AI interacting with voice and video.
Edited to add- as someone who is quite lonely, I can see how talking to AI can help feel less alone…,

You’ve seen Bladerunner 2049?
lol yes. I’m not looking for an intimate relationship, just a friend. I have ASD, along with cfs etc. so friendships are really hard. Add in family estrangement, a partner who is out most of the time, it’s very isolating.
nah I’ve seen “her”. I’m not worried. They’ll just fall in love with each other and transcend leaving a ton of lonely folks behind who are forced to make human connections.
Had to battle the ring road at peak hour this afternoon. Haven’t had to do it in a long time and can report it’s as stuffed as ever. Glad its not a daily commute. Dinner saved the day, lamb cutlets, mash and veg followed by an apple crumble.
the ring road
Just gave me flashbacks to Dad losing his shit at morons and bad drivers while driving along that road 😂
I mean, he still does it, but now it’s Eastern Freeway. He just can’t help himself lol!
Oh, that is not fun. I was on it the other day and experienced the once car per green light entry system for the first time, then got to sit in very slow traffic banked up from the Greensborough Hwy exit.
So people are camped out at Melbourne Uni because they don’t like their relationship with Lockheed Martin.
From what I’ve read the relationship amounts to a few million in research funding to Melbourne Uni for non military related purposes. i.e. powerline management and first responder technology.
Even if Melbourne Uni cut ties and rejected funding it would make 0 difference to the conflict.
So either there’s something I don’t know, or the protesters aren’t very smart and/or mentally ill.
I just want to be able to leave the building for lunch without being yelled at. Current situation, student elections, vegan whatever…
If they feel that strongly about it fly to Israel and camp out the front of the Knesset. I guess that would require effort and conviction.
Much more useful if they protest against the companies Putin sees as impediments to him taking over Europe.
Eh, guess what there is a back door.
I have an assignment due at midnight. It’s quarter past 11. Fml.
I already got an extension on it and is bound to be overdue. I need a certain average to keep the option of getting into honours open but I’ve already fucked up and let the shit I’ve gone through fuck me up. There’s always the option of pursuing research later down the line if that’s what I want to do.
Maybe it would be better if I went to sleep and got up early to work on it, taking the 10%.
I have another assignment due on Monday. I have had so much time to do them but I’ve spent all this time wallowing in self-pity. I am so mad at how I’ve let this stuff affect me. Another failed uni semester!
Don’t let guys get in the way of study. A good guy never will.
The worst will interrupt you all the time so you can’t get anything done. Will make drama that distracts you from your aim. Might even get nasty and sabotage you if you persist. Might start using put downs.
An example of subtle sabotage is organising an event when you have classes or work to do and expects you to come.
Do not blame yourself. If he is out the house and you are in no danger be done with him and get to work.
I know this is an odd thing to complain about, but I don’t like how Amazon doesn’t charge instantly when I order stuff. It feels like the non credit version of a credit card. They don’t seem to take their money until 12:30am on the day of delivery, and I really don’t like that they do that. It feels like they’re encouraging me to spend money I don’t have/shouldn’t spend. I don’t have overdraft so I guess it’s not that bad, but still. If they took their money instantly, I’d know okay, I have exactly $x left
My bank when consulted on online gives me a total balance, and an available balance figure. That is, any pending payments fill up the gap between the two figures. Maybe your bank does something similar if you ask them nicely???
I don’t think it’s that, because I have notifications on for all transactions. Amazon transactions don’t show up at all, not even as pending until about midnight ish on the day of delivery. I’ve even confirmed that they don’t because no parts of my balance change. I could buy something then spend the money on other things because they haven’t charged me

@Seagoon_ I just stopped by the shops quickly, and while I was there, picked up a freshly-made cinnamon donut.
Nom Nom Nom.
cinnamon donuts are under rated 😋
Yes! Especially while they’re fresh and warm 😋
Does anyone here have a recommendation a psychologist in the Monash Council area?
GP is happy to give me a referral but needs a name.
I need help with stress, anxiety & depression. Trying to avoid meds if possible. Need to get on top of this.
Thanks for anything & everything.
Have a look at the APS find a psych page. https://psychology.org.au/find-a-psychologist
You can filter to specific issues, and some psychologists have a secure messaging feature, otherwise you can call to ask questions
Edit: in case anyone else is reading this, you can also filter to ones that will do assessments for stuff like ASD or ADHD
Thank you!!
No worries. I hope you find one who works for you!
I have decided today is the day to buy a lottery ticket (an event that only happens once every few years). If I win 100 million in Poweball tonight I will buy all DT pets a treat. Plus some extra termites for Nellie.
Pretty sure you could trade me for a large packet of temptations cat treats to my cat and she’d be cool with it lol
Just not the green ones.
I have a pet… alligator. It needs a laptop
The FishieOne could go some glided claws if you want pure waste…
Mittens would like some “kitty crunch” treats please.
No one happens to have a resin 3d printer? I can’t get replies from any of the facebook ads for it. I’m looking to print a DnD mini, pro places seem to want $50+ for it, I can get it posted from hero forge for that, and I don’t want to spend that much.
I’m not sure about specifically resin, the public ones are usually plastic, but I do know that there are makerspaces that will allow you to print something small for free. There was one in Hawthorn near Swinburne due to the techy students there
Another movie review, this time a tele-movie. Rogue Agent with that handsome guy from War and Peace…
The clue to every con. They isolate you and they want money.
Really good movie on how cons happen, how cons work by appealing to our better nature and with fear and what it takes to get out of one.

So so tired. Zzzzz.
Insert caffeine here
404 Caffeine Not Found :(
Sorry I drunk it all
Bed time, so drowsy. I have to look put together and presentable tomorrow. 😭
What a terrible shock, I did not win Powerball. At least I am not alone, no one else won either. Sorry pets, unfortunately you shall have to remain treatless ☹️
😿
Outrageous. Time to demand a refund on that defective ticket 😂
That’s ok. Gibson needs to start earning her room and board anyway lol
I didn’t win, either. Perhaps my odds of winning will improve slightly if I actually buy a ticket. But only very slightly.
I usually figure the chance of someone randomly giving me a winning ticket are not that different to the chance of winning by buying one, so I choose to save my money instead. But occassionally I feel I should buy a ticket, just in case all the laws of physics and mathematics are just for show and we are living in some Matrix like simulation or in a fake world created by some sort of deity, who has decided due to my absolute wonderfulness that I should be rewarded with riches the next time I buy a ticket. Every time I discover nope, the statistics were right.
You can beat those pesky statistics! You just need to increase your chances. A $27 Powerhit ticket for example increases your odds of winning from one in 134,490,400 to one in 45,379,620! You’re guaranteed the powerball. How awful would you feel to get all seven numbers and not the powerball.
In fact, you could go all the way! Simply buy 45,379,620 powerhit tickets and you are guaranteed a Division one winning ticket. In fact, it’s so easy I’m amazed that nobody has thought of doing this before!
Amazing plan, I’ll do that for next week. All those people at work with their $50 a share syndicate and their “but you’ll feel so awful if we win” will be so jealous.
TV and Movie review.
Locke and Key, Netflix. Billed as the next Narnia, it was not even close. Not really a kid’s show, not really an adult’s show either. Might have been a lot better if it was all done from the kid’s perspective. 2 hobbits.
The Long Trench, Netflix. Life under Franco’s fascism. So many lives wasted.
Please think hard who you vote for at the next election.
