- Comment on Who was our worst Prime Minister and why? Any notable state leaders we need to add? 1 week ago:
This was an excellent summary of all three.
- Comment on Cognitive Biases 3 weeks ago:
I tripped and fell spectacularly walking in a supermarket. I was annoyed that no one helped me up or checked if I was okay (I didn’t need help but it made me think less of my fellow man) and that my partner was waiting in the car and didn’t witness it, because it was actually really funny.
I left embarrassment in my 20s. Don’t have the energy or interest in it now. And I know I’m not the main character - everyone’s living their own lives, the impact you make on strangers is minimal. At worst someone said when they got home from the shops ‘i saw this chick stack and it was kinda funny’.
Reminding yourself that no one really cares about people that don’t know is a helpful way to shut down the negative self talk.

Yeah I checked - Aussie and I don’t see it in PayPal

Playing whack a mole with my neighbours ivy. Keeps popping up on my side of the fence. Fuck whoever brought it to Australia.
- Comment on This might also apply to conferences. 1 month ago:
Back for me because I have a pretty disgusted, annoyed resting face. If I sit too close I’m focusing too much on keeping a pleasant listening face that I don’t pay enough attention to the material and give myself a tension headache.

Oh mine got the memo. They lay peacefully, horizontally in my jaw, like little Saddam Husseins until they decided they wanted to visit other parts of my jaw and make friends along the way.

Are you likely to have enough newspapers to keep up with demand?
- Comment on What does dying from all causes mean? 2 months ago:
Wounds heal poorly for smokers. People who smoke after getting a tooth extraction can get dry socket.
I know someone who ate some rancid food, and was subsequently very, very unwell because they literally couldn’t taste or smell that it was off.
It affects your cardiovascular health so good luck outrunning danger.
Everything is worse if you smoke, in real time and in terms of what it does to your body’s ability to heal or respond to trauma.
Don’t smoke. And if you do, try and quit.
- Comment on Camera reels 3 months ago:
My dog had stomach issues for ages that took us a while to work out. My partner and I were monitoring his poos for some time, so if we were walking him solo we’d send a photo to the other as an update.
So yeah, memories of dog shit in varying textures.
- Comment on Rock Eagle Flag 4 months ago:
No, guns are for maiming and killing living things. I didn’t grow up in the bush or in a rural area, so there was no need to shoot anything.
Had my parents raised me around guns in suburbia then I would have categorised them as reckless fuckwits.
Because who in their right mind keeps guns anywhere near children? That’s absurd. To think that’s normal is institutionalised, cult-thought.

I read half the article (got the gist and yeah it’s very true and very funny) bit bowed out because of the infestation of ads on that site.
I hate this internet

- Comment on the struggle 6 months ago:
So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They’re well meaning, intelligent people who don’t know the background of MB and how it’s as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.
I don’t say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.
- Comment on ONS staff refuse to work two days a week in office 6 months ago:
Ah right. It’s not most memorable of them. Anyway, when people don’t get your joke it means it didn’t land. You need to chill a bit.
