What are your rabbit's favourite foods? :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Mainly hay, lettuce and cauliflower leaves, but we give them some store bought rabbit food they love once a week and sometimes cucumbers carrots and apples.

Gaza

Israel let aid through and then fired on the civilians

Fuck

It’s sickening. I just watched a documentary on SBS about US-Israel relations. It’s horrifying how so very few men have such power over the destiny and suffering of millions, and how utterly little they care about the lives of those millions. They sit in their lovely offices and have coffee and chats and decide to have war or peace, give aid or let people starve, put lines on maps and play handshakes in front of cameras.

Hide in their tunnels or luxury hotels safe from bombs while they stash billions in aid in swiss bank accounts

Just finished season two of The Bear...wow that was some good television.

It’s the sort of show where you need a cup of tea and a lie down after an episode. It holds nothing back.

Dad turned up with a new kitchen gadget for me. A new, cripple proof kettle that I don’t even have to lift to use.

I don’t need it - I have two perfectly good, fairly new kettles already, the second of which I initially bought specifically because my parents argued my first (basic stovetop) kettle wasn’t safe for someone with my balance to use. I haven’t asked for it. It solves a problem that for me at least fundamentally doesn’t matter/doesn’t exist.

But I have a new kettle nevertheless. And he’s stashed both my old ones on a high shelf I can’t reach, because it’s the only cupboard or shelf space my kitchen has left, so I can’t even change it back.

It’s a good kettle, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t quite know why he decided to get it for me.

I've got one of those... it's good for those with different needs/uses but for me it's annoying af

Is it safe for you to use a stepladder? If so perhaps keep it stashed out of sight (so they don't decide you can't use it). Or a friend could pull the kettle you want down and you can keep it hidden on a low shelf.

because he cares for you

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Maybe someone else recommended it, and he acted on that recommendation. Which is fine as far as it goes. I figure it's a bit rude to just show up with it and re-configure your pre-existing quite satisfactory arrangements though.

I am made of regrets,
Of atoms and silhouettes,
A life repaying the debt
Of a misspent youth.
Trashy and uncouth,
Nothing to show for
For the years on show for
A man who didn't know what he had to lose,
While he lost, now I'm a loser too.

Not forewent.

Well spent.

Expreience is cumulative

This is why we live.

3 hours or cleaning. I feel robbed of my weekend.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Apparently I'm a monster because I closed the bedroom door while I re-strung my guitar. Strings are very pointy at the ends, and would easily hurt a cats body or in particular, their eyes.

You would think I was actively torturing a rather small cat if you heard the wails. So dramatic.

Melbcat is hiding from me because I had to force feed her meds.

Another week of this twice daily to go...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Poor thing. Hopefully she'll get used to it for the remaining time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Apparently it's very bitter so probably not. I just hope it does the job and this week passes quickly

Is Gibson channelling her inner husky perchance? Or did she think you were eating sardines without the proper feline approval and participation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I thank god that there's a door that divides the front half of the house to the back half. Would never get privacy otherwise.

Thought I was going to try Jack fruit tonight. Turns out this tin is less than 10%. A exercise in reading labels better. 😾

I watched "The Fall" 2006 today. Such a beautiful movie, visually and the story too. Can recommend. It's only available on YT and it's free, no ads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I recommend Anatomy of a Fall also.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Making relevant notes about my gym sesh, and it turns out I actually work quite hard?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)
