Itβs like βwhich layer of trauma are you talking about?β and then my whole life story comes apart like an onion
And I have never related to a sentence so hard

I saw the movie Poor Things. Dark fantastical comedy/social commentary done very well. Kooky aetherics, excellent costumes and brilliant acting from Emma Stone.

I've just discovered that when I turn the lounge room light on, the TV (FTA) starts getting interference and glitching out
Now I'm super curious to know why
Got an antenna?
On the roof I'd presume
Flourescent light? The driver may be going. Bet the ant cable runs near the light power
Yeah it is a fluro, and probably. The light switch is on the other side of the room from where the aerial comes in though. But this is an old house, literally everything is an after thought. Wouldn't surprise me if they intertwined the bloody aerial and electric cabling
I feel like lately it's been hotter than it ever got through the middle of summer. I don't like it. Feeling for the people who don't have power
Sleeping when itβs hot is so uncomfortable, feel sorry for those without aircon. But Iβm the opposite, I think weβve actually had a fairly moderate Summer overall. I remember the drought years when it was normal to get a run of 35+ for a few days in a row, and at least several 40+ days through Jan and Feb. This year we have had none.
I'm inclined to agree. Summer has been relatively mild.
I meant now is hotter than it ever got through the middle of this particular summer! You're right, it has definitely been milder than past ones which might be why I'm really feeling it now. I've been pretty grateful not to have had those days of heatwaves.
Sometimes I like to go look at animal adoption sites, I like finding the animal with the silliest name and photo. Today I thought I'd look at the Pet Rescue which is not my usual place to look, and WTF is with their adoption fees! Maybe I'm being unreasonable but up to $1.5k to adopt a dog... There were 400+ listed in VIC alone, and I can kind of understand why! For that much you could go get a brand new puppy sans all the issues that come with adopting a potentially mistreated dog.
I get it's probably to deter people from making rash decisions, also folks who can afford to drop that much can also probably afford to care for the dog, and making sure that the dog goes to a good home, but it just seems insane to me.
Edit - I listed the wrong site. Sorry to The Lost Dogs Home for that one. Yikes to me!
Hey, you will see the occasional bonkers looking fee from places like Lost Dogs when they are certain the cat is pedigree even without papers. I donβt blame them. Some of those cats have specific needs and people can be made pause on βbut prettyβ by the price.
I see nothing wrong with the mogs being more affordable at checkout.
Ted Cat was $400 on pet rescue. Pedigree but loads of problems. Bill was $160 at rspca, same pedigree and he's been an awesome boy.
Those prices include all the medical care .
Cough, a highly discounted medical care! And sure as heck not the food & litter to get them to adoptable she.
Not sure where you are looking, most of the dogs I could see were $85. The most expensive was $800 for a young puppy.
Holy shit I listed the wrong site, my bad, it's Pet Rescue not Lost Dogs Home that was the one I looked at after.
Ah, Pet Rescue makes perfect sense. It's a whole bunch of different "rescues".
You need to do some research on where your pet comes from, whether that is a breeder or a "rescue" as not all of them are legit - some might just be trying to recoup their costs (which can be very high if they take in pets with high vet needs) but I have heard some just buy them from backyard breeders, sell them for a profit and call it a rescue, which helps get around breeding laws and appeals to the people who like the idea of rescue.
RSPCA has the best pricing and they are very careful to match pet and owner personalities and needs
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, baby Gibson on the day we met:
