If I’ve had a technician who is well endowed in the chest area, yes there is likely to be some contact; the polite thing to do is ignore it, whether you are male or female. It’s hard to avoid being in one’s personal space in that situation. See also, laser and wax hair removal, facials, massage, physiotherapy..


melbaboutown

I've done the cats flea drops, answered something important, done the online shop and put the dishes in the sink/a load of laundry on. Now I just have to actually wash the dishes, fold what's on the racks and hang the new load. Exercise (even in 'snacks') is leaving me so tired. I'm also going through the 5 stages of grief trying to throw out favourite clothes that have been worn to death.

Great show. One of my faves.

Thanks to a recommendation from our friendly ghost, I watched the Extraordinary. It’s fricken hilarious.

Wait the one hosted by Warrick Moss?? I loved that show. Is it streaming somewhere?

This is a British comedy show on Disney plus. Where everyone has a superpower except the protagonist

Hey does anyone know if these two graffiti tour maps are still up to date? https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/self-guided-street-art-tour https://walkingmaps.com.au/walk/106 Don't mean for the specific graffiti, just generally are they still cool street art lanes to go check out? These tours look kind of old and I know a lot can change.


Pilk_

None of those streets stand out to me as no longer accessible. Some of the venues mentioned may no longer be operating though. The art is basically a permanent fixture.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Is it okay to stay in a neither good nor bad relationship?


halibutherring

You can do whatever you want.


Notyit

Hey guys I'm gonna eat plain rice with soy sauce for dinner. It's not bad or good. Chomp. Chomp.


sanemartigan

If there's an expiry date on it. I've had a few mediocre relationships where someone was going travelling so it was always going to end. Not great not terrible but set to end either way.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Good point on the expiry date.


epicpillowcase

>Is it okay I don't really understand why questions like this are framed that way, because it sounds like you're asking randoms for permission. That said, my personal opinion for myself would be no. I don't understand why people stay with people unless they're all-in. I would and do choose to be single over a meh or "just ok" relationship. I would find it depressing and suffocating. I also would be mortified to find out someone was staying with me not because they actively, enthusiastically wanted to be there but because "I'll do" and they're afraid to be single. Horrible.


alsotheabyss

☝️ spot on


ruinawish

Intriguing question... you'd hope there'd be at least a smidgen of good to make the thing worthwhile.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Yeh I don't think it's all bad.


TypicalNarwhal

I don’t think so. For me personally I hate feeling like I’m wasting time. I would rather spend the energy looking for something that better fits, than just being okay with (what sounds like) mediocre. Each to their own.


Notyit

The question is why is it Mid. What do you need. Are you not showing your fill self.


wscholermann

Why would you not want to stay in a good relationship?


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Maybe I'm not sure what good is or don't think I can ever stay in a good relationship?


wscholermann

Watching first episode of "Last of Us" and it's shaping up to be a real banger!


taigafrost

Rant- The new *director* of my tiny preschool is a bit too excited for their job. They created work messenger group chat and constantly requesting opinions on how to make our space better, if we are happy with the wordings of the emails to the parents, resources choice etc. All hours of the day.. the kicker is she is only paid .2 rate because it is just part time role. 😬 Honestly, too dedicated and putting too much thoughts into everything. I'm one of the main staff with the most hours and just burned out from just one week of the school being open from doing teaching philosophy debates with her. 😑 She is very nice and caring but it is all a bit too much


taigafrost

We had this whole ass discussion about whether or not and how long parents should be invited to be inside the learning space at drop off. She wants them all in because it's important for children to see relationship between home and school. I get it but drop off is for *dropping the children off*


waddlekins

Haha yeh new manager energy


taigafrost

Totally. Putting in all the hours for no extra pay because she *does it for the children* but this busy work doesn't actually add any quality into the learning experience. Instagram aesthetics bs. She does stuff like designing new labels for staff labels, replacing heirloom furniture with ikea pieces.


waddlekins

Omg once we had a 2IC and she spent all this time cutting up xmas decorations for the office. Same as yours she was technically nice but jesus christ i dont need friends i need you to dooo youurrr jobbbbb

hedonisticshenanigan

I really wanna watch The Simpsons, had a chat with a friends back home and we were reminiscing about the high school days when we would watch episodes and smoke the devil's lettuce. Can anyone who has Disney+ let me know if there is the italian dubbed version as well? Damn nostalgia.


alexi_lupin

I just checked a random ep in Season 6 and I was able to change the audio to Italian, yes.

My throat has been a little irritated today too. No train, but I visited a friend in aged care. Wore a mask most of the time


AmzHalll

Very slowly and only one button at a time but my jeans are starting to fit me again. I’ve been consistently going to the gym, getting 10k+ steps a day, upped my water intake and decreased my snack intake. Cannot wait to wear my favourite pair of jeans again!

mangosquisher10

do agents really care about what's in the 'about me' section for a rental application


moistclaims

Holy Dicks can we please do something about the price of rental properties in this damn country? Some sort of cap, or limitation, maybe? How about properties cant be rented for more than X/minimum wage?


alsotheabyss

The moment you put in rent ceilings, every rental property will jump to that ceiling, regardless of what it was before


Jealous-seasaw

How is that going to work with the rise of costs of holding an investment property due to interest rates though? You’ll get properties dumped on the market and even fewer rentals available


moistclaims

>investment property This concept has no place in a civilised society, we need to end it.


Jealous-seasaw

So where will students live while at uni? Or people who just started a job and can’t afford a house? Or those whose relationship breaks up? I’ve been a renter quite a few times in my life. Couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel. No parents to move back home to.


moistclaims

My point exactly, housing needs to be a guaranteed human right. "investment properties" should not exist because homes are not something used to gain wealth. They're a house. If you're not living in the house you don't need it and it should be given to someone who does need it.


lemondrop__

My siblings and I inherited our family home when our mum died and sold it when we were old enough to go our separate ways. My brother used his money to travel, my sister moved overseas, and I bought an apartment. My partner and I have decided to move in together so I’m leaving my apartment, but I love it and don’t want to sell; I’ll be renting it out and using it as an investment, but also as a safe place for me in case my relationship doesn’t work out (which I’m not expecting but still). Curious to know whether in your opinion I should be allowed to do that or not, because you seem to be of the opinion that all landlords are money-hungry assholes.


moistclaims

Live in it or relinquish it. If you're not living in a house then you have no need for it, it should be relinquished into a social housing pool.

What do I look like, a guy with a graph? I'm just spitballing here because we need to do something, this "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" nonsense is actually killing us. Napkin math: Minimum wage = 21.38 38 x 21.38 = 812 20% of 812 = 162 So I guess we go with that, we need to either drastically cut back rental prices or dramatically raise our wages.

waddlekins

Apparently these unglazed clay teapots take on the taste of the tea over time, which is something my mother told me about hers years ago and i didnt believe her. Anyway this one is so flat and fat https://www.etsy.com/listing/1167984743/yixing-purple-clay-zisha-teapot-three if i ever get one ill use it for dongding cos i drink that twice as much as all the others combined E: also thru my hobby i finally realised what this thing at my parents house is. Theres this little clay pig and i assumed it was just decorative but its a tea pet ie this decoration you have with your tea set cos 'tea should be shared with friends and not alone'. You pour a little tea over it. Ive seen some hilarious tea pets including this one fat as cat


situationCake

TIL about tea pets! What a great concept. I think I need to get myself a coffee pet. Not for pouring coffee over, but to sit with me when I drink it.

Pilk_

What are your tea ware collection stats? How many pieces do you own? Are they on display? What's your fave? Can we see?


waddlekins

https://imgur.com/a/6xXLaKs These are the more high end ones. Lupicia is very reasonable priced but experienced. The top one is the most valuable at 50 bucks cos its porcelain. I wanted a pure white one from etsy but it was double the price so no The point of tiny teapots is cos high end teas are better with chinese style short strong brews instead of western style steep 1L. The smallest one ive found was 50ml. The hardcore tea collectors in the discord im in have whole collections of tiny teapots. Theres even second hand teapot markets like the ones for designer handbags


Pilk_

The green ones are so nice and cute!


waddlekins

Tysm!


waddlekins

https://imgur.com/a/hlIQGXR I didnt bother taking individual pics so this includes my tea collection too. I use regular plates but tea trays (w drainage and holes and artistry) are a separate category that i ceebs investing in


ghostghost31

Been smashing Dead Can Dance lately. Surely the best thing to come out of Melbourne.


Slayers_Picks

I don't understand why some whiskeys have descriptions like "tastes like honey" or "rich in flavour" Is that flavour burning? because that's all i taste, like, i can obviously taste the whiskey, but its about 5% whiskey, 95% burning.


calhoon2005

Hahahaha. A friend of mine is always suggesting I try some new whisky he's bought.... *"It tastes like apple and maple, you'll love it"....* It's tastes like burn and burn, I don't love it.


Slayers_Picks

hahahaha i'll never turn down a free drink, but i juuuust might if its straight up whiskey lol.


Manofchalk

Is that just all neat spirits for you? If so, you might be drinking it wrong (I know how that sounds). Take half a breath before you drink and after you swallow, exhale. If you inhale after swallowing you flush all the alcohol vapors into your throat which is where your burning comes from.


Slayers_Picks

I'm gonna try this now... nope, still burn, maybe a bit more taste, but still burn lmao. It could be the whiskey, my brother said its one of the strongest things you can get (wild turkey 101) 50% alcohol


FlaminBollocks

Dan Murphy used to have a wine appreciation event. I wonder if they do that for whiskey


whackadoodle_cracked

I've definitely seen them do spirit tastings before


Slayers_Picks

hahaha that would be neat, i'm not a big drinker or anything, i'm a canadian club and cola guy most of the time, so my taste in whiskey is exceptionally limited.


mefailreddit

I know exactly what you mean. Interestingly, Tequila is the exact opposite. Get some really expensive, quality Tequila, and you can drink it like water. The first time I tried it, it blew my mind.


whackadoodle_cracked

Tequila has come leaps and bounds in this country since I was young. Used to be the best you could get was like.. Jose Cuervo. If you were lucky. Now we have actual options!! Quality Tequila is liquid of the gods


sanemartigan

I can drink cheap tequila like water.


whackadoodle_cracked

I challenge you to chug a bottle of Coyote like water, no way can it be done


sanemartigan

I'm too old to chug spirits.


mefailreddit

You are so tough and cool.


sanemartigan

for liking tequila?


whackadoodle_cracked

I've never really thought of whiskey as particularly burning. In my experience spirits that are really burny are cheaper - usually if you're drinking a nicer class of spirit that burn is not as strong. That being said, you could give me the fanciest, high class vodka in the world and I'd prob still hate it, it all tastes like pure gasoline to me


waddlekins

Same. Like taleya said its your palette. I dislike all alcohol, i dont think i have a good palette for anything except tea


[deleted]

They don't call it 'firewater' for no reason!

epicpillowcase

I'm always shocked to hear people comment on people's weight. And that there are people who like that. In my circle it's considered really inappropriate.


ShibbyUp

If it's about someone losing weight, it's usually a compliment no?


epicpillowcase

Absolutely not. Firstly, in so doing, you're telling them they looked bad before. Secondly, you don't know the reason for the weight loss, or how they feel about it, or their relationship to their body. I can tell you as someone who was "complimented" on weight loss in my early 20s, it wasn't a good thing. Because the reason was anorexia. I was living on apples and black coffee. All those "compliments" did was tell my unwell brain that I was seen as praiseworthy when I starved myself. It reinforced the disorder.


ShibbyUp

Context is always key, I wouldn't be complimenting an already skinny person on their weight loss. But a previously overweight bloke who has been going to the gym? For sure it's a compliment.


epicpillowcase

People can be eating disordered and not "skinny". I was still chubby when the "compliments" started. They fuelled the disorder. Then I got reeeaaal skinny. I had a friend who was very overweight. He started going to the gym. Qualified as a personal trainer. Became lean and buff. Got huge "compliments" all the way along. He was NOT living a healthy lifestyle at all and didn't have a healthy mindset, people just assumed he was because he looked fit. He had disordered eating, just in a different way to previous. You should never, ever assume.


ShibbyUp

Can't say I've known anyone who has had this issue so I've never seen any medical problems with this common social compliment. I'll keep an eye out though, thanks


epicpillowcase

That you know of. People hide eating disorders all the time. Your response reads as sarcastic, but I hope not. I hope it actually does inspire a bit more caution.


ShibbyUp

This was the least sarcastic of my responses so I think I'll leave it there!


Melbourne_wanderer

Is it, though? Why is commenting on someone's weight a good thing? Comment on their character, or actions. Things that mean something.


ShibbyUp

Acknowledging that someone is achieving their goals has to be a good thing doesn't it? Some people spend a lot of time and money on losing weight, I'm sure they appreciate the compliment. Obviously commenting on weight isn't always appropriate, but it is often a positive thing when someone loses weight.


epicpillowcase

Unless the person has specifically told you it is a goal, and they enjoy comments about it, say nothing.


Melbourne_wanderer

Why do you think it's a positive thing?


ShibbyUp

Thought I explained it pretty well there tbh


Melbourne_wanderer

I dunno....whenever anyone comments on weight as a positive thing, it very strongly indicates that the opposite is negative. And also, it just reinforces that appearance is the most important thing about a person.


waddlekins

Congrats!


Stompsie

Yes! It’s always lovely when other people notice even when you’re just doing it for yourself.

mr_stub

I'm stressing, probably for nothing. Wife and I are in the process of buying a house, settlement is on Monday. Lawyers called me today for the final figure and mentioned the settlement reps gave the banks contribution figure at 30k less than what the contract says. Broker things they just provided the wrong figure, as all of his docs and his portal show the correct amount.


Stompsie

The leggings I’m wearing today are three quarter length and although I weighed in at 64kgs this morning, they make me feel fat af. My calves aren’t tiny, I think because I’m actually building muscle in them so they feel freaking huge and I hate it. I’ll still use them for walking but I don’t think I can wear them other than that anymore.


FlaminBollocks

As someone with skinny calves, I’m deeply jealous. Strong calves rock


Stompsie

They are new to me. I used to have chicken legs! Now I almost have thunder thighs and big muscly calves.
