    Thank you everyone who replied to my query about puzzling fam behaviour.

    All your insights were so good and helped me understand so much.

    Thank you again. 😚😚😚

      For your next talk could you please expand on (a) armpit hair and (b) feet, in general? Can we have proper prehensile feet like chimps or just something less fiddly rather than this annoying in-between thing

      Fingernails - I like. I have realised over the years that mine are a great health indicator. If I’m doing well they are strong as, grow neatly and are nice and pink. If the randomly start to catch and break/split I am getting sick.

      Toenails - I don’t think about until the little bastard grows and pokes into the toe next door and then I clip them

      Thank you for listening to my rebuttal.

      (That one weird face hair that isn’t there and then grows an inch overnight. It can get in the bin)

      overt menses

      very few mammals have them

      why us 😢 causes nothing but misery and anaemia

      we don’t need overt menses to have ovulation cycles and ready uterine walls

    How nice, Mr. Jingoism from last week is back again today, and is talking to our supervisor on the phone going on about how he has the chills and doesn’t feel really good and probably picked up something from the childcare (and this person has stacks of leave entitlements), thanks for making the rest of us sick too mate…

    Alright. Experiment: running to the gym at lunchtime. Will I end up feeling good, or fucked beyond recognition?

    I brought a towel so I can have a shower afterwards.

    Let’s see how it plays out.

    Arts Tasmania have writing awards open for submissions and I submitted 3 stories (2 of my kids horror and one unpublished one). The likelihood of winning is slim, but I can’t help think about what winning might do for my bonafides. And then I start thinking about what I’d say as an acceptance speech.

    I’ve always had that habit of thinking about everything that could happen if things turn out as desired (rarely ever do). It’s something I wish I could do and then forget about until the time comes up.

    Does anyone else do this though? Plan for something and then get excited/think about the possibilities? I feel like I jinx myself by doing it.

      I tend to be the opposite - I think of all the ways that whatever I’m doing is doomed to FAIL and all the possible consequences of that and how I’ll cope.

      Very rarely am I wrong.

      But that said, GOOD LUCK! Is there anywhere we can vote/help or is it purely based on judge’s decisions?

      Of course I think about possibilities and get excited, that’s all about why I make decisions.

      Possibilities are part of the reasons behind making decisions.

      First up: good luck!!! Put out positivity!!

      Second: yessss, I am a shocker for it. My bf casually mentioned it’d be fun for us to do some streaming last night and sure enough, I was then in the shower thinking about how fun it would be to be a streamer with, like, hundreds of people in chat and interacting and what we might do. Urg. It is great fun being a dreamer though, I wouldn’t change it!

      yes. very much so.

      Also we expect a call out in your acceptance speech. “and to the daily thread, who have always been there to support me” 🙃

    Pakige day! My new kitchen sponges are on board for delivery. I’m pretty sure I bought more interesting things too, I just can’t remember what.

    I’ve finally installed a Lemmy app on the iPhone. Without an app I kept not coming here unless I was on a computer. I don’t know which one is the best so I picked mlem which looks pretty decent so far.

    Ding ding coming to you live from the 11 tram!

        I use jerboa too. Sometimes it takes a bit to connect but that’s probably a mobile service issue rather than an app issue.

    I love the paraylmpics for their modified sports. I stayed up watching blind soccer. Argentina v Colombia. It was fast, aggressive, interesting. Scores 0 - 0.

    Finished work and was absolutely exhausted when I came home.

    Had a wash and turned on the heater and fell asleep in bed for an hour and a half I think.

    Tuesdays are so full on. Thankfully tomorrow will be a lot less eventful at work and I can focus on some light manual labor so to speak.

      Tuesdays are often my big day too. Although I must’ve stolen your energy today as I surprisingly actually had enough to whip up dinner, even roasted some fennel. Sorry about that, I’d share my dinner with you if I could!

      Good thing tomorrow lets you have some recovery time. It makes a difference knowing you have some breathing space after a big day.

        The main thing though is we both got through it!

        Now to think about some dinner as well and veg out for the rest of the night.

          Yep! I’m taking a cue from this cold weather and have already eaten, showered and just tucked myself in bed with a hot mug of rooibos and chill out music on the Bluetooth speaker. I hope you have a very restorative sleep tonight. It sure feels like luxury after 10 days of blowing around

    😭😭😭 😡😡😡

    apple fucked up my music library, again, 😭😭😭

    all the live albums, anything not bought with apple , all the special releases, everything moved to cloud which I do not use

    fuck apple, so sick of them

    this is why we buy cds and vinyl

    I really am being a sook about this

        have you ever moved country? if you change address they ( internet services ) delete your library because of copyright

        they can’t delete a physical album

        I lost about 1000 albums

        ( i might do navidrome when i get new puters and stuff of my own, even then, so much of what we use is reliant on electricity supply 🤷‍♀️ )

          All the music platforms are terrible. They try to push playlists and make you listen to music the way they want you to.

          I don’t want to go any further forward than queuing up albums in VLC player from an external harddrive

            Since we also let border officer take backups of phones and computers, indefinitely storing them on their hard drives,

            so don’t carry your personal stuff

            buy a burner when you reach your destination

            and if it’s a work computer who gives a shit
