A moderator (in their private capacity) posted a comment in the other place's DT about the Middle East. I'm all for that discussion in the appropriate places, but I don't need to see it in every subreddit, I'd rather see 100 loud bangs posts.
I politely said I don't think the subject really belongs there. They immediately blocked me. I edited my comment to say I was blocked, and it has now been removed using moderator powers.
Classy.
r/melb has gone from under-moderated to over-moderated, bunch of cock mods there.
they really showed who they were when there was the reddit boycott
their sense of importance is just not based on reality

How dare you speak ill of the moderator's actions! Not cool. I downvoted the post.
Interestingly enough, I can still see the comment on that site
I'm all for political discourse, but keep it local (Dictator Dan anyone? anyone?) ๐
Lol. You hurt someone's feelings. Bad Pilk
I downvoted them on your behalf.
reading the news is "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills."
facts and questions and asking for some propriety will get you banned
so much hate out there,
anyway, hugs, we don't do that stuff here ๐
Excuse me mods? Pilk here is inciting discontent. I suggest a temp ban for one month

Itโs disgusting.
They canโt even own up to what they did to you.
Shows how useless the mods are there.
Edit: also downvoted the comment.
I looked at it. Itโs definitely a bit of an abnormal comment for r/DT. It seems like a bait comment because of the divisive nature of what the US and Israel are doing.
Also, Reddit mods arenโt entirely trustworthy haha.
One of the nice things about winter is the orchids are in flower.
Thank you very much for the comment you made on my post about beans and rice. I am in survival mode with burnout, and eating has been tough. I am currently cooking rice in chicken stock and adding red beans and some herbs and spices that I have, inspired by the recipe you linked. ๐
Glad it helped!
Iโm not sure if the skin of the beans will get tough from the stock (as I hear that about cooking them in salt) but the writers of the recipes have probably sorted that out.
Another easy way to eat is crackers and pre cut vegetables with cheese or a protein dip. Iโm not able to eat this now but I found a copycat recipe for a Tofutti cream cheese I used to love. Tofu is very cheap and quickly blended.
Metric option
For a no cook dinner you can also mix a tin of tuna with leftover rice then add crumbled nori and sauces. You can also get precooked cups of microwave rice.
If you have the money seriously consider buying some Ensure or protein bars for snacks. Multivitamin tablets. Fortified nutritional yeast or Marmite spread on buttered toast for the B12. (Consider margarine fortified with vitamins A and D.) Individual tubs of yogurt are easy.
Scoop sandwich tuna onto crackers or eat it from the can. Keep tins of chunky soup on hand to heat in the microwave and have fixings for sandwiches. Itโs very easy to swipe on some mustard pickles and add a slice of cheese if you tolerate these ingredients.
Another idea is shredded bbq chook and premade coleslaw inside bread rolls.
Iโm being so serious right now. If you become malnourished you will enter a downward spiral where you have no energy to take care of yourself or feed yourself.
This cold is treating me very badly - the congestion is not terrible but the brain fog is. I just did an online grocery delivery order and trying to make decisions was very hard.
I think I'll take the next two night shifts off and try working again next week. I really need to get the energy to take the washing off the line that's been there a couple of days already - at least it should be dry if it hasn't blown away. I might try to wash some towels too.
Go to the pharmacy and ask for the Pseudo cold and flu tablets. They make a real difference and are much better than the off the shelf varieties

Fuck yeah!!!!!!
Looks like sheโs in heavenly bliss. What a life!
I will be disappointed if I don't come back as a spoiled house cat lol

That's some weird weather out there. Windy and warm?
Don't look at Tuesday and Wednesday though. Wednesday in particular... 11C maximum... big weather system coming in from the west. Ughggh but if it means rain in areas that desperately need it I'll tolerate it

So last week my micro manager sent me an email and tagged senior leadership about some bullshit task he wanted me to do, which I'd been doing the whole time.
I responded, let's say, confident in my response.
Since then, he hasn't said a word to me all day lol
I will win cock head and you will lose lol

Starting to feel better re: getting off that medication I mentioned.
Today so far has been a good day and it's been really nice to have a fairly energetic, focused day :)
45 minute combative meeting across from someone with bad breath. Oy joy. I wasnโt involved in the combative-ness, but as a people pleaser it was awful.

aw man, I procrastinated big time this morning checking things about super and rescheduling appointments and shit. Now it's quarter to 9, and I have a stinking headache, and the results section that I really thought was gonna be easy, has been SO HARD because I fucking hate stats and don't understand any of it and I've been having a long back and forth with chatgpt to try and understand how to describe differences and shit and my brain HURTS. This is the part about academic research I loathe the most. I hate stats so much. Gaaaaaaah! Even when I think I understand I DON'T!
Hours and hours just to output three measly, but crucial, paragraphs for a total of 476 words... the discussion is gonna have to be a lot more streamlined, I've not even started on writing out full sentences ๐ญ However, at least I now have a much better structure with which to concisely discuss the various findings (and merge things together in a sensible way), and also much more academically sound points (not just the equivalent of "yeah I reckon", but "look at the shape and statistical significance of shit").
Plus, I did a much-overdue data cleanup that I thought I'd give up on but really was better to do and not cleverly hide, so at least now I can confidently say my methods section is 99% (missing a couple references I can find at the last minute), and my results is 100%. Intro still stuck at 75% from Saturday...
Imma need some real powerful concentration juice tomorrow to (a) not procrastinate and (b) write that discussion section like I'm on fire before losing a lot of time in throwing in references and then reading up on that stupid paper so I can finish the 25% left of the intro. For now, I think I'm going to call it quits and go home before this headache gets any worse...

Slogging my way through crap chores. I wish something encouraging would happen
Ooh rain! Nice to cool off a bit, today was a stinker
Quite a bit of rain according to the windy.com radar.
It's been very dry for winter, or at least it seems so.

I voted in the Triple J Hottest 100 Australian Songs of all time. It's very Triple J coded with the songs you can vote on, I had to manually add Shit on the Liver by King Parrot. One of the greatest Australian songs and music videos of all time.
le sigh
I think I will just do slow housework today and maybe some shopping for hiking boots

Brisk repointing (well, gouging out the old shit) noises occurring under dining room floorboards. Felines are intrigued.
I've been researching smart watches and they all say the best position for accurate readings is above your wrist bone. I tried it and it felt so wrong. I can't do it. I've gone back to wearing it on my wrist bone.

CD review. George Michael Older.
this music irritates me
the 60s Brasilian style backing music sounds like a Hammond organ , which might not be a bad thing
except Michael just doesn't have the rhythm or voice or skill for it, so it sounds bad
it's discordant
oh gawwd I was curious and searched, listened and now the YT algo is all george michael.
