      I agree. With the lovely people almost all over here, the Reddit DT lost its special magic. It was full of anger and angst.

        The few times curiosity got the better of me I found a sea of angry posts… and the odd person cleaning out their cupboards or visiting a new cafe or something. I wish those people would drop by.

        I have a feeling that quite a few people aren’t going back exclusively. I suspect a lot of us will do both for a bit and eventually come back here. The reddit bosses aren’t going to give up easily.

          Gotta be honest I could stand to see a few mods fall on the sword too. But I sort of expect reddit to bin it, it’s already not a place I really want to associate with.

      I feel the same. It’s sweet, chill and supportive like I always thought this kind of thing should be. On Reddit you’d find some nice people but too high a percentage of trolls.

        more of my selfish shite

        my medication is a long chemical word,
        typing it leads to typos, very absurd.
        i know depression isn’t just sadness manifest
        it’s much more than that, I surely can attest.
        but for a short post, anti-sad works the best
        i don’t have to describe how it fixes my mess.
        but this SNRI levels out my emotions
        so I can live life instead of drowning
        in a trauma-ocean

    Just got in from work. It’s freezing at home - and by that I mean ice on the inside of the toilet window. Come on, ducted heating! Do your stuff! NB: dumplings in soup for dinner. Might even sneak in some veg into the soup. I have decided that the Massel Pho stock cubes are the best thing since button up sandshoes.

        Massel does a laksa stock cube too, but I find these a bit too hot for me at present. My tolerance for chili has dropped dramatically since treatment. Piedmonte’s have both on the shelf but I bet a good Colesworth would also have them. Is King & Godfrey’s still a thing in Carlton cos I bet they’ll have them.

    Love ‘urgent’ emails at 3:30 with an ‘action by COB’ request.

    Read through the chain of comms and it was sitting in someone’s inbox for over a week.

    I’m tempted to reply with ‘Please see comments below’ and have the only comments as ‘It’s not’ next to their ‘urgent’ and ‘not gonna happen’ next to ‘action by COB’

    SO TEMPTED

    So apparently someone is impersonating epicpillowcase and made what I thought was a joke from them but was completely transphobic. Also apparently other fake dupes exist. reported and blocked, but they’ll have another account so it’s fucking useless . who ever you are don’;t think you’ll stop me posting about my amazing journey, and I’ll start calling out the fucking terfs and incels again now as well. just when we thought were untouched by the hands of fuckwits

        I think it works better with more logins. The link between instances is a bit buggy. Plus you can use each login for a different set of communities to create multiple custom feeds.

    Its been a while but i did a homeless drop off today yay. The place looks like its expanded staff and is busy af which is nice. The oddest thing ive hoarded to donate is actually the ramen seasoning packets: i dont like the dehydrated veges and chili sachets but i read an article that says homeless ppl do. It feels…strange to hoard such a random thing but the shelter confirmed today they absolutely eat that shit up so 🤷‍♀️

        I look for organisations that have good transparency, consistency, volunteers etc. This org has a number of locations and they do outcalls ie get in van driving around handing out care packages. Soap, feminine hygiene, body wash, bags of any shape and size are always taken. Atm food isnt. Every shelter has only so much storage so if you have a ton of stuff best to call them and check if they have space. They have good in person and phone service :)

    Put together a brand new desk I ordered from Ikea, and I am enjoying it ever much so. I’ve been craving more space for quite a while and glad I made the purchase. The extra drawers are quite wonderful too, meaning I can put away and sort things in a more proper manner.

This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.

The focus of our discussions is based around things that affect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
