Have sadsโ€ฆ $40+ Wagyu rump at the old Sarah Sands.

Overcooked and underwhelming.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lame! I've been there a couple of times and meh indeed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, pretty disappointed. Looks nice, but thatโ€™s about it.

The last bit of healing from the breakup is self-forgiveness. The relationship ended and he blocked me everywhere because I sent him a message that was childish and kind of rude l. In hindsight, I was anxiously attached and codependent, and even the tiniest bit of distance sent me on a worry frenzy. That was combined with things in the relationship that made me feel like he didn't care, like telling me I should be sending good quality memes when I sent him virtual flowers lol.

I obviously know better now and vow to never act batshit crazy again, but the embarrassment and shame just cause me to spiral a bit when I'm feeling down. I just dwell on shit a bit too much.

These feelings will eventually diminish down into a light cringe moment. We all have acted ridiculous at times, and I can vouch I have acted batshit insane before. And the memories hurt because, we're not really like that, and it triggers other memories and feelings and events. But it will eventually become another faded memory to make you cringe in the night and giggle about to friends at brunch.

We get silly and serious and we fall in and out of love, fickle and fully invested. We send memes and lovey gifs, we profess our love and ask for reciprocation. We're just human, and we've been batshit crazy since we were messing around the fertile crescent. Cringe, but take solace in the knowledge that you are an amazing human doing amazing things. Put to rest any feelings of shame. You are beautiful and are doing great!

Watching an Attenborough thing with the p's tonight.

My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he's a doc, man of science).. was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn't hit the sides).

"Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this'.

Pointed out he'd been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament..

It. did. not. end. well.

I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I could hear your dad's statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time...

I've stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.

When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money is lost to disaster payouts insurance companies will force change.

It might not happen soon enough but it will happen.

Every time I go on reddit to mindlessly browse, I remember how much I hate reddit and a lot of the people who post.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

The crochet people are lovely. And there are cat pictures.

I try not to venture too far out of nice safe areas.

It's a cesspool!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, agree. Only way I use it these days is for solutions to a specific problem...ie. Google search + Reddit, with old Reddit firefox extension

Today was a good test of my new headlight bulbs. They were appropriately glowy. Unlike the old ones, which seemed very dim even before one of them died prematurely.

Looking forward to having money to go out on weekends.

For now, making music and hassling the cat.

It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren't going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it's a bit tricky to figure out what's missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn't gotten around to using yet. So I don't actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn't take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there's nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.

The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven't been 100% on because:

false memories (tangent)Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn't remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it's weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I'd just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.

Also I couldn't remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn't have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.

The 3DS is a huge loss. Did you have it homebrewed so you could run a bunch of other stuff on it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yep :|

Even though I never had one growing up, I still felt nostalgic for them. I received it for my 16th bday and was over the moon. Spent my pocket money on an SD card a few days later and spent a day getting the homebrew stuff happening. Nintendo shut down their e-shop like 2 weeks after I got it too. Fun times.

Also I suck at Mario kart, and I need to not suck before I stop playing it :(

time to make lists and to keep a journal

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I'm going to create a spreadsheet and log everything in both my rooms along with serial numbers and photos. The serial numbers and photos probably only help if the cops decide to go searching, but knowing what exactly I have will prove useful. Probably save me for double buying things too

Dinner in the Laundromat, and waiting at the pizza place for my clothes.
