This might be delulu on my part but hoping to use the wind to dry clothes before the rain really hits at 4 pm.

Good one

This is my favourite of Santana’s.

Smooth featuring Rob Thomas.

Donating every piece of clothing I just bought because despite being the ‘right’ size it actually sucks.

Socks that are so tight in the ribbing they strangle my ankles. Bra with straps I can’t tighten enough to keep them from slipping off. Trackies that are waist high with wide tight/rigid elastic that feels like it’s squeezing my stomach despite fitting exactly/slightly loose, and an excessively baggy arse.

What the hell Kmart? That was a complete waste of money because despite shelling out I still don’t have what I needed.

Now I have to wait until I can get support to go shopping and see what I’m getting.

Okay, my final fancy purchase (I promise)

I got a second hand Sony speaker in pretty good condition for 30 bucks (an sbx-xrb-31 or something like that - Sony uses stupid names). It's an absolute hoot. It has LEDs and features a "rave mode"

Seriously:

I watched the start of the most absurdly hilarious movie last night. It's called Hundreds of Beavers and the first 30 minutes is basically a Wile E Coyote skit. My god, I was losing it.

I hope the rest of it is just as good.

A friend of mine asked the groupchat for a 'nostalgic' pizza place. We figured out he meant a good bad pizza, not the Pizza Hut buffet from days of yore.

It got me thinking about good takeaway pizza places where the pizza isn't fancy but it still hits the spot. Fairfield Pizza is great, I could get two large pizzas and a garlic bread for $20 back in the day. Original Sinners in Macleod is up there as well. There's a place near me called Romulus Pizza, it's a bit more fancy but still takeaway. Probably one of the best takeaway places I've ever gone to, they make their own dough and you can feel the difference.

Plotting outfit for ‘Bad Taste’ birthday party tomorrow. Currently all hot pink leopard print and safety vest orange. I do have some orange makeup, but it’s super itchy…

Add feather boa - any colour that doesn't match.

I think I prefer this version of the song that's on repeat in my house - kidcalhoon2 would freaking love it, kidcalhoon1 not so much

So question: when you have to rate something that doesn't apply, do you give it a 5 or 3 star? eBay always asks me to rate seller communication, which is almost never relevant. They mark it as posted, and that's generally the extent of the "communication". I have been marking that as 3 stars, but I was thinking, that probably brings down their averages, right? I'd be annoyed if my feedback rate went from 100 to 99.97% because someone thought something was irrelevant.

Seems like a bit of a disconnect between how I issue ratings and how I take ratings into account. All this online review stuff seems to have skewed the bare minimum rating from a 3. i.e I probably wouldn't consider a shop or seller that's only rated 3 stars, even though in my mind, 3 stars means neutral, when it comes to reviews, 3 stars seems bad

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 7 points 3 months ago

This is why I just don't trust star reviews - it's not only just because of fake/paid responses. There's a whole science about this sort of dissonance in perception when it comes to rating reviews etc. It happens to everybody - my personal description for it is questionnaire bias. I've never had a questionnaire or a rating review where my actual opinions and experiences were accurately reflected in the questions/ratings. My advice fwiw is just not to stress over it. Everyone has a different take on what 'excellent' means to them. For some it might be that delivery on the day specified is enough for that rating - some might consider that just normal and 'excellent' might consist of much more than that like good and timely service on a return/refund as well.
