Melbourne

ffs, I thought out how I would do some of my task/life admin organising/planning and now my brain is stuck.

Awake. I don't think the fish and chips I had for dinner agreed with me. Ugh.

Dark with no rain....what is this?

Also, had two people message me this morning (work related) with a 'Happy Monday'

Some people need a'killin

Excited for Pearl Jam tonight!!!!

I'm eating After Dinner Mints before dinner like a proper rebel.

Currently in an annoyingly weird sleep pattern. I do not want to be wide awake at 4am unless it's from still being out at 4am, which this is most definitely not.

Weekend mission accomplished, back on the donation wagon after a bit of a hiatus. 🩸💉

And @Spud I can report that they've upped their snack game since I was last there!

@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone Oh dear. Turns out I don't recommend original soju. Realised I didn't actually drink it, so poured a shot tonight and oh god no. No. It's like 17% and just... punches you in the throat. Definitely stick with the flavoured ones. I now know why the people in kdramas grimace!

Onto my least favourite week of work. The 1pm to 830 shift

Woke up today in a panic.

I totally forgot to turn on all my alarms again after taking the day off on Friday.

Thank god I woke up when I did but I'm a little worse for wear today, I think hayfever has gotten a hold of me and the headache I had yesterday didn't help.

Anyway on with today!

strange nightmares, first I was looking for a new place to live but the place was strange and had public toilets

second someone went out and got some recreational drugs to use. I cried.

OK so, if anyone knows the song: Something I can never have by Nine Inch Nails, is it a bit over the top for an open mic?

I'm asking as it's a fairly heavy (on the emotional sense) song.

A quote that made me laugh yesterday "Delulu is the solulu" 🤣

I’ve been downloading pics from social media in preparation for that age verification bill to come into effect because I don’t want to give these companies my ID. I should get back to it tomorrow when I’ve had some rest.

I’ve put on there that people can send me their deets if I don’t have them. If they don’t do it by the time it’s been confirmed it’s going to come into effect I’ll drop an email address in their messages and leave. Then the ball is in their court.

I wish I’d done that and deleted my profile before everything got AI scraped with no choice to opt out. (Not kidding, your photos got grabbed and Australians didn’t get the opt-out.)

I’m looking into a VPN too. I should have sorted one years ago but you have to make sure it’s not shady.

And yeah people say it won’t happen but they’ve said that about a lot of stuff that did.

Edit: I don’t really care about the major players. At least most of them. But what concerns me is if this affects things like YouTube and places like Lemmy or Reddit. Or independent old school forums. Whirlpool. I could manage without a YouTube account I guess but don’t want to lose another place or Lemmy.

I wonder if it applies to online games.

Edit 2: Also one of the options being discussed for this is face ID. Yeah nah get fucked.

I never had enough brain cells to become one of those privacy buffs but I’m seeing data harvesting and theft get so much worse and really should learn
