That’s just how his mum still feeds him so you can forgive him the assumption

Just an FYI incase they weren’t typos but the word you’re after in the first and last paragraph is ‘loses’; the one in the second para is correct.

Honestly one of the quickest ways I’ve found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.

And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we’ve tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he’s not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I’ve found he’ll tolerate the wet items on him.

Christmas in July is a thing I suppose

Client feedback.

They’re wrong, but because they’re paying, they’re right.

There was a sense of… Anticipation? When we first got internet in my family.

The dial up tone was an announcement that you were going on the internet. It was a mindful choice you made, and you had to wait a bit for it. Not just pick up your phone and look at it. You had something in mind that you wanted to do.

It did always have a slight sense of occasion and I remember having butterflies just waiting for the connection. I’m very nostalgic for it.

I set myself a calendar reminder to play this in a few years. I’m hoping I’ll have forgotten most things.

The rule of the community is you must post before you leave after viewing something. It’s obviously not anything policed.

Someone started showing their adherence to this rule by putting the word ‘rule’ in their post title. People continued this trend, sometimes using a play on words related to the post itself, making crap portmanteaus etc. they’re usually not very cryptic.

It’s been towed ouside the environment.

They were huddled in groups, so clearly friends. Not just kids going to the same school.

Driving past a school the other day this is what I saw re the kids waiting for the bus/to be picked up

None of them were talking to each other. Just staring at their phones. Just seemed sad.

Went to the movies the other day. Two women in their 60s were regularly lighting up the row by reading text messages and their message tones kept going off throughout. When the movie ended and me and my friend were discussing what we thought of it, those two just sat silently playing with their phones.

I’m regularly almost side swiped driving by soccer mums my age (late 30s) looking at their phones rather than the road, with a bunch of kids in the back, all on their phones.

They’re important devices and critical for the world we live in. But it’s not healthy to be indifferent to the world around you while you stare at these rectangles, all the time.

It’s not just one generation. The boomers are shocking. But we’re letting down alpha.

You should ask him out.

‘Beyond the black stump’ was a famous Australian comic strip but this doesn’t look similar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Black_Stump_(comic_strip)

It doesn’t look like the Ettamogah pub series. Or ginger meggs

Just water under the fridge.

dickbutt? It’s just a Reddit thing as far as I remember. Was constantly posted over there.

That and certain copy pasta just got annoying. I’d hoped it had stayed there.

Yeah Bale’s Batman does nothing for me but the villains are exceptional.

On a walk I’m psyched about everything. Bugs, birds, interesting trees, big trees, round rocks, square rocks, shiny rocks, moss, lichen, animal tracks, animal burrows, native animal scat…

I’m pretty much giddy the whole time

I feel for him, and for his mother who gave up her seat so he could go. Fuck the billionaires but he was 19 - I can’t feel any humour about his death, or for what this must’ve done to his mother.

I’m sure the others had family members too who have gone through hell while the world laughed.

We can have compassion for those people while still shrugging at the stupidity of the willing dead.
