Cowardly fuckin Australia

The incels have moved in too. The place is feeling more and more like Reddit.

I'm using the block option a lot.

This woman had access to a gun.

In my country, I literally don't know anyone who owns a gun. I wouldn't even know where to start to get one. I suppose I could drive out to the bush and a farmer would have a rifle. But that's about it.

I'd otherwise need criminal associates to access one.

How did she have one? Why was it so easy for her to get in a very isolated, specific state of psychosis?

This just reminded me of a moment I had, years ago.

I was so stressed from work, working on my 6th burnout for the year.

I was meant to be getting stuff for dinner from the supermarket.

I had money, that wasn't the issue. But I didn't have a shopping list. My partner and I had just briefly discussed myself 'picking up something' on my way home.

I was paralyzed. My thoughts wouldn't align or connect. I couldn't think of any dinner option we'd ever had. So I couldn't configure a shopping list in my head. I think I stood in the canned vegetable aisle and just stared ahead, trying not to cry.

I ended up sitting on a bench in the middle of the shopping centre trying to write a list on my phone. Eventually I had to call my partner and tell him I wasn't okay and he needed to come get me.

Long story lacking events I know. But this meme made me think. Short of family emergency/death of loved ones, work is the only thing that has placed that kind of stress on me. Even in grief I have a sense of one foot in front of the other for any particular task. But burn out made me immobile. Completely saturated my brain and made it stop working.

Our brains aren't built for that. They shouldn't be.

Barbie.

I'm a woman and a feminist. I'm a fan of Greta, and of everyone they cast in that movie.

I was bored for most of it. The parts that were meant to be poignant, I thought completely missed the mark. It was a waste of an opportunity.

I don't understand the hype. Margot is a gem, one of our exports I'm actually impressed by, and I think her unfailing charm won a lot of people over to this. I think most of us would happily watch Margot read the phone book.

But I found the movie to be dull and shallow in its attempts for depth.

I feel bad because most of my female friends really hold it up as something I don't think it is. I keep my mouth shut.

The part people keep missing with all their "I don't even eat there so I don't care" and "fine, I'll go somewhere else" comments is that every other large chain will be watching this little experiment very, very closely.

People are still going to go to Wendy's. Any boycott is unlikely to make a dent. If this is profitable, watch this become commonplace. I don't even live in the states and this concerns me.

Enshitification may well extend itself to the hospitality sector.

I love how whatever the towing company said in reference to them taking legal action is just 'bla BLA bla', but whatever this genius is rambling about is completely legit.

Fuck me there's a tonne of Boomer humour 'i hate my wife' and incel prophecies about relationships in here...

Laser is a thing. I haven't had to worry about bikini lines in about 15 years...

Have you asked the women with the painted eyebrows? They probably like it. Not all things people do with their appearance are to appeal to others.

Obliviously about a cat.
