When my wife needed a new car, I said to her "do you just want my new SUV and I'll buy a shitbox for myself?" "No no no, I want my own". Ok. sure, i mean you helped pick the SUV but whatever. I subtly pushed her into a compromise we'd both be happy with on a hunch, and boy was I right cause she's nicked my car again! Officially, the reasoning is "Diesel is a lot cheaper at the moment", Fair! but would that really stop you driving your new (to you) car? I'm not buying it. I think I just got screwed out of another car by her haha

I'm having a slow soft day to help my back get better. I might tidy my work area. :)

Buying a tiny personal wheatbag for the cat was a good call. I've heated it up and tucked it in next to her. Hoping at some point she'll put her head on it so the warmth can help the ear pain and let the antibiotic drops sink in deeper.
It bugs me that I didn't notice further problems until now, but I thought the first round of drops had cleared it.
This fuckwit washed my window without my permission.
Reminds me of when another fuckwit threw dish soap all over my instructer's car during my driving exam.

The amount of pinned daily threads is starting to get a bit silly. They're not even from this year!
Managed to write a whole bunch of emails and applications (10+), so yay me, although I'm completely knackered.
Also feel like I might be mildly cursed. Every time I contact an RACV drive instructor, I get asked for details, and promptly ghosted afterwards. 2 more, and I'll be out of the ones that serve the local area.
Joke's on me for buying the vouchers first, and then trying to schedule an instructor, rather than going the other way around.
That's unusual because with in 10 minutes of me posting the thread at midnight some kind soul pins it and unpins the old one.
In my experience with the Lemmy.world instance, sometimes pinned posts will not โun-pinโ the next day. You need moderator status to unpin them I think.
pinned threads where?
I get this as well. It's the pinned posts on the melbourne comm.
What it looks like on db0:
What it's (probably) meant to be like:
Don't know how or when this happened.
Can confirm that the latter is what it looks like on aussie.zone. Guessing it's some issue with federation.
@[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] any ideas what's going on?

I think it's a federation bug, when I still was on my lemm.ee account, the unpinning isn't getting synced.
