She sure is
Tired from my labours, but finally sitting down to relax before bed. I’m rewatching Seinfeld, have needed a comfort show lately. Something I’ve watched before but enjoy watching again, requires not much concentration and is from a simpler time.
Tell me your comfort show (if you have one).
I watch lord of the rings/tolkein podcasts and videos
and I listen to old BBC radio comedies , such as the Goon Show or Hancock’s Half Hour
Not something you’d expect, but American Dad. It’s mindless enough to semi-engage without getting too bored and while edgy it doesn’t seem to be enough to be genuinely upsetting.
And the lack of continuity/wacky hijinks resolving back to the status quo means it doesn’t matter about what order or whether the uploader has chopped it up into many out of context chunks.
I wouldn’t say I was a fan. In fact it’s easier to chuck on for background because I don’t care about following the show. But it’s something that’s kind of reliable to just watch when anxious or tired or flossing or gaming without worrying about closely following the plot or missing anything. It’s Comfortably Dumb.
Family Guy tries too hard though. Kinda lame. The offensive jokes aren’t even offensive to me, they’re just lazy.
Buffy. Girl kicks ass.
I would say scrubs
Have you been paying attention is good for a laugh when you need one from the Ten network.
Working Dog are great. Have finally started watching Utopia and really enjoying it so far.
Ted is being adorable
Can I have him 🥺
When can you come to pick him up?
Saturday 9am
Cool.
Is it ok he has knots/dags near his bum and he’s a bit stinky? He really needs to go to the vet to get his dags clipped.
Can you do that first please?
I have tried , he attacked the brush and gave himself a very bad black eye. He also bites. I use kevlar gloves because he bites and bites hard. Just can’t get near the area.
Ted: these are my shells now.
Floofy boy!
Kinda want to draw him as Smaug on a hoard of shells
Seagoon is back? Time to celebrate. 🥳🎉
🍻
I think of how dark the world has been and will continue to be for me personally.
And I’m not even suffering the most relative to other people. And I think to myself I really don’t want to be here. On the other hand dying is not really appealing either.
hugs
i hope we here at DT can brighten your day a little
I see some people at work sometimes sailing through completely carefree that have always lived in a bubble. Kind of pisses me off. Why isn’t that me? And it annoys me even more when they are lazy and ungrateful.
some people are unaware of their luck or that other people within their sphere can be leading a completely different kind of life because they don’t have the same privilege
many years ago I read one of Richard Wright’s autobiographies, the one of him growing. He wrote how when he was older and famous he contacted some of his white classmates from high school to talk about life in the South.
Wright was treated poorly by his teachers, given no to little encouragement , not recommended for college. His classmates told him they were given every opportunity and encouragement and treated very nicely by their teachers. His white classmates had no clue the black students were treated differently by teachers as it was done in private.
I think many people who have carefree lives just have no clue that life is harder for other people. That accent, skin colour, family, school, suburb, opens and close doors and it’s just luck
I don’t blame people for being unaware of inequality. I wish everyone was treated well. I do blame people if they are bastards holding others down.
I guess the person I’m thinking of is very insensitive to others, even when they are aware of their background. So it irks me.
I’ll be honest, banning yourself from news helps me a lot because sometimes it’s just way too much for me.
I enjoy listening to my radio talk shows because in a bubble they have a rule for not talking about news in the world or politics for the most part.
I also have tools for some escapisms when I need it.
It’s not healthy to be connected constantly to bad news every day.
I’m curious, what radio talk shows do you listen to?
Triple M’s Rush hour, a lot of rubbish and nonsense type fun there which I don’t mind.
I have some other stuff on the side like all my sports podcasts but also have Sushi Mango and Hamish and Andy as well.
I’m sorry dude. I’m in the same spot but doing the sad clown thing because really what else can I do.
I’d wish things to get better for you, but for some people they don’t and I don’t want to create even implied pressure to “get better”. Which in Australia seems to involve a lot of stiff upper lips and bootstrapping…
(A lot of the time people think they’re being encouraging but they’re doing toxic positivity and pushing you until you act in certain ways that they think you should or even hide your feelings. Also there’s nothing wrong with the way you feel. It’s a valid response to some inescapable circumstances.)
I won’t push you to seek professional help. It may or may not be available or affordable to you, you may not be able to find someone who can understand well enough to help, or you may even already be seeing someone. That’s none of my business and ultimately your choice.
What I will do is wish for you to get safely through these moments - if you feel that you can. I will hope that there will be moments of relief when this feeling will lighten.
I will tell you that there’s another person who feels very much the same and you’re not alone.
I will wish for something to shift so that you don’t have to feel like you don’t want to be here.
If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a ‘Digital Content Specialist’.
It’s free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.
That’s so good of you to post that.
Used to work with Joomla, but that was aeons ago.
Wouldn’t mind switching back to a plush gig. (Have a bit of a jack of all background that always is hard to put on paper, but easier to chat about. Might be a bit too out of the loop these days.)
That’s where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.
I’ve been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that
I need to remember to eat tuna /salmon or other oily fishylies tomorrow. This week has been really brain tiring and I have been starving the last couple of days. Always amazes my how much energy you burn thinking
hugs
how do Thai fish cakes made with green curry paste and coriander and spring onion sound?
Don’t skimp on self care when you need it most, easy said I know.
so many hugs and thank yous Peeler for your lovely supportive message on the other place 😭 It meant do much
thanks to everyone here 😘😭😘
Thai fish cakes sound bloody good. So glad you are back Goonsey (and that you never left peeler)
thanks, I missed you too
you take care , it’s the weekend soon and you can rest up 😘
here’s the fish cakes 🍥🍥🍥
Thankyou seagoon. I’m glad you’re back because I missed you, we all did.
Dude get some fucking headphones bro seriously
Edit: sorry for my bus related rant. I still haven’t got my skin swab results back and I’m a bit miffed.
That was me last week I think or week before in a cafe.
Like seriously, get some headphones or something if you’re going to watch a video right next to me.
No word yet? Taking a bit to get the results.
Well there were 2 swabs done, one for Buruli and one for other stuff. Receptionist said one of them has been completed but they’re doing more tests on the other one.
I hope you get the results back soon and that they’ll be able to find out what can help you.
Thanks mate, it is certainly frustrating!
I have un-grumpied my butt with cat cuddles, some food and making loud, discordant noises in the studio.
And everyone is now tucked in for some sleep. Goodnight ❤️
someone is making yoko ono sounds on the train
microphone isn’t on?
I really should stop playing Satisfactory, but well the factories aren’t gonna build themselves now are they? Please send help.
Have you dabbled in Factorio?
Once.
I opened Factorio in the morning and then the following morning when my partner got up we agreed that I should never open that game again. At least with Satisfactory I’ve managed to rope my partner in to playing too :D
I looked at it but didn’t purchase it.
It scares me just looking at it, hearing your stories of Satisfactory doesn’t fill me with much hope.
Factorio is far more intense with it being 2D and having regular attacks whilst managing your monstrosity.
Satisfactory is far more chill and 3D so you can enjoy just exploring, I found a power slug cavern recently and we’re playing spoiler free and learning as we go.
Planet Crafter is pure chill but the same vibes. That game did more for my mental health than my psychologist haha.
They’re all really fun and addictive games, and if you can do co-op with someone they’re even better. I’m happy to buy you one of those if you throw me your steam ID so you can at least give one of them a go :)
Oh that’s so kind of you.
My Pc’s a potato so I really play games on it anymore and certainly haven’t purchased anything to use on it for a long time.
I’m mainly a console gamer at the moment due to that.
I don’t think it’s be right to accept the offer unless I could do justice to it.
No worries! Let me know if you ever change your mind, I’ve already added the funds to my steam wallet and I’ll only spend it on loot boxes otherwise haha.
Console gaming is fun too, I actually prefer it for open world RPGs. Whatcha playing atm?
What help do you need? Remember, follow the veins to the altar and chant
That was evil lol.
Joking aside, for the past week and a half I’ve been playing between 8 and 18 hours a day ever day. I knew this game would be both bad and brilliant for my maths loving ADHD brain. Any ways, am awake, therefore must open game.
As I also have ADHD, and am also an Engineering student, I am get that. I’d be playing more but one, end of sem is here, and Ive been on my bimonthly Terraria binge.
Harmonize with us. Listen to the rhythm. Live Laugh Consume.
End of the semester is the perfect time to play! Those assignments can wait, you’ll definitely be able to smash them out the night before the deadline! You got this <3
Terraria is fun, I prefer Starbound though. Also “Planet Crafter” is incredibly fun if you want something more casual, that game holds a special place in our hearts (we played co-op).
Sounds like fun. 🙂> Satisfactory
Lovely to see you back btw <3
Thank you. It’s wonderful to be back. 😘
I put the heater on. 🫥
I was cold in the morning because one of my layers had fallen off. Felt the chill.
Don’t blame you, it’s nippy tonight especially after the past few days of sweltering nights
The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.
I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.
I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.
they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are
also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.
These questions here too.
If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.
| Preferably by lethal injection.
Or tied to an anthill
What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage
blerp, case of the anxiety wobbles again today. Didn’t help that today’s viewing got cancelled at the last minute. LL has sent through rental ledger as requested, which is all okay, but it’s pretty dumb that some part of my body now gets extremely tense every time I see her name in my inbox or I have to deal with her. Truly silly.
I have another viewing tomorrow that ticks lots of boxes but “Inspection is a must” and the sudden advertising of this property does make me wonder what’s going on. Pics look a bit too good to be true. Wondering if it’s a case of suspicious neighbours…
It’s totally not silly. 🖤
I’ve lost my voice. And I’m running an event that requires me to basically talk all weekend. This’ll be interesting.
