Did you just... Say all cis women are attracted to 2 types men? A 'stud' and a 'dependable' type? Because they are also the only types and never shall the two combine?

Like, all of us women? All of us?

Which cartoon told you this? And who told you to repeat this strange teen movie trope with such a sense of confidence?

In Australia I can't tell you how frustrating this is. People are so fucking selfish.

I'm unnaturally good at flat pack furniture assembly. And I know how pathetic a brag that is, given it's a set of instructions and equipment. But everyone I know complains about it. I genuinely like it.

I set out all the materials and count them against the inventory to make sure they're all there. Then I follow the instructions.

Whenever I've helped someone else do it, they start trying to figure out what attaches to what in the abstract, they tear open bags of bolts as they go and grab the one that looks right only to realise later that it's 2mm shorter than the one they're meant to use.

I don't get it. It's a recipe with all the ingredients provided. Prep the ingredients, cook following instructions.

My partner, who falls into the category of just trying to guess things, is pretty much banned from assisting me until there's a bit where another human is necessary. But even then I'll make do using leverage from furniture if I can.

And that's my super long comment about how I'm good at something that's remarkably easy, because it's designed to be easy, but everyone wants to make it hard and then fight about it.

Also, here's a great song with a relevant clip:

2003 Canberra bushfires. My little city was made to burn.

2019 Black Summer bushfires - see: whole fucking country either on fire or enveloped in smoke. I owned a tonne of masks before Covid hit.

We've been lucky in the last few bushfires seasons since but it won't last.

Can we leave that shit on Reddit? It was tired there

Picking at my cuticles and cracking all my joints, while staring into the middle distance.

Who throws out a plant

Tomb razor.

Mm dunno if you ever read the qanon casualties posts on Reddit. There's no discussing or reasoning with the people who have fallen prey to believing this shit. And if often leads to financial ruin. Blocking access to those sites is, for many, like taking the car keys away from an elderly parent who will only hurt themselves and others if you don't intervene.

Thanks for the giggle. Coffee wasn't helping that much but the thought of someone just standing near some mushrooms and dramatically throwing their hands in the air pepped me right up

It's a perfectly fine zombie movie, but it only takes small elements from the excellent book. The book needs to be a TV series, made in a documentary style. I just pretend the movie is unrelated; it's enjoyable as just a standard action movie with zombies in it.

When you realise you're a meme-grade stereotype, don't you feel a little....small? And sad? Especially when the opposition you meet doesn't fit the stereotype you've projected on them? Because that means you're playing fantasy role-playing with yourself. Which must be a bit lonely?
