  Really? Lol Jesus Christ. I’m starting to think all political advertising should be illegal, I’m over it this election. Those Trumpets and Liberals ads have caused me to change the work radio station.

  In the 2022-2023 financial year, job network providers were paid $329.07m for all outcome payments. Get rid of these useless welfare leech numpties and use that money to help those who need it.

  If they’re that pestiferous we should be encouraging people who have an interest in venison to do something about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy new year friendos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same thing happens every year… I inspect my pudgy form in the new year and embark on a healthy lifestyle regimen. I’m good all year and lose 10ish kilos. Then my birthday arrives mid October and I think “mmm, cakes!” Then from October thru to new year is a wasteland of indulgent eating. Rinse and repeat.

  Had home made burritos for dinner, just sitting home with the kids watching ABC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you reckon a choice subscription is worth it before making more expensive purchases?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to have a subscription, so I got the online newsletter and there are chat groups for members where they discuss products as well. Back then you could subscribe to a free newsletter and get basic updates on what not to buy, with the more detailed info available to subscribers only. If they still do this then this might be the option for you. So for example if you’re in the market for a stick vac or bathroom cleaner the free newsletter would have what not to buy but the detailed test results and product reviews they did would be available to subscribers only. The only reason I cancelled was because my finances were spread a bit too thin and I had to do a cull. Up until then I enjoyed reading the juicy stuff on how shit some of the products available to us are, and general money saving tips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So… Australia Just Banned Kids From the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ridiculous really… my kids see things online and ask me anything regarding what it means, I use it as a teaching moment and we talk about it. Why and how is someone like Andrew Tate popular with boys of a certain age, for example. How does Instagram affect how girls view their bodies and affect their self esteem? How did something like tiktok change the shape of social media in general and what does it mean? I enjoy these conversations with my kids as they arise. Acknowledgement of something as harmful, without any debate about how, is, in itself, harmful. And insulting to young people. And also ultimately useless because kids know their way around VPNs etc. It’s only ultimately going to inconvenience me and compromise my own desire for anonymity and privacy. What 3rd party application will be entrusted with my age checking and how? Ugh.

  Consumers have a right to options. Our internet/pos has been a bit temperamental these last couple of weeks (they’re still trying to figure out why) but thankfully we take cash so the cogs keep turning, we keep selling product and making orders and we all still get paid.

  I’m sorry but that just sounds far too intelligent and reasonable.
