What's wrong

Yesterday was new water bottle day. This time I got one off ScAmazon. I'm sure this one will last 7 months like all the rest before cracking the shits and breaking, making me crack the shits and put it in the bin

Also, YIL that Amazon gives away free GOG/epic keys with a prime subscription. To keep forever I think. Shame about prime (the streaming part) being so garbage. I found the mixed messaging they do where some movies are part of your subscription, and then others they try to sting you 30 bucks for to be really annoying and just gave up on it as a result. Almost cancelled when they started putting ads into the 3 whole movies they actually have on it, but forgot to so never did

Respectfully, I doubt you'll hear back if your complaint was "lodged" with a staff member. Having worked at a fast food chain, that was probably a lie to get you out of the store so they can go meet their stocking/packing/other duty quotas. Not necessarily out of malice, but low level employees, and possibly even the store manager don't have any control over what's put on the signs.

Not saying you're wrong, it's deffo unethical and illegal to lie about the country of origin and deserves a complaint to the ACCC (even if they are quite the toothless little tiger), but your best option is probably a combination of the ACCC and contacting woolies HQ directly.

(and I don't know if Woolies works on a franchise model or not, but if they do, contacting the franchisee would probably be the most effective option, since they're the ones who are going to cop the fine, and it would also likely sting them more than a fine to woolies directly)

Likewise.

It's also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like... A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

From https://disruptlandforces.org/events/:

That's probably the optimistic way to look at it. I don't feel so sure that's the only reason for pulling 2000 cops from every corner of the state though

I've never gotten hayfever before (at least that I'm aware of), but the outside of my nose has been in a constant state of itchiness recently. Can't figure out what else could be causing it, so maybe I'm a mild fever guy now

I don't generally protest, but this seems like one of the better ones we've had here recently.

I probably won't join, but I probably will go and laugh about how 2000 cops armed head to toe in riot gear get scared and try to kill people. I'm calling it now. Somebody's gonna die or get seriously injured

E:

It seems that they've invoked the terrorism act, and also the weapons control act and declared the area around MCEC a designated area from yesterday until the 15th. Basically, if you enter this area, to protest or not, you can be searched, including your bags, or car, or "anything in the possession or control of the person". They can use "as much force as is necessary", and they can also tell you to take off any head coverings or fuck off. If you don't, that's a crime. If you don't take off half your clothing, that's a crime. If you refuse a pat down, that's a crime.

Sounds like something out of a futuristic dystopian movie.

I've been torn on whether to just stop whinging and be grateful they've actually done something finally or to keep battling

They're never going to listen to me, and tomorrow marks day 60 since I returned and started dealing with all this BS. I'm running out of fight :/

I didn't watch it by myself. I went to an out of home care advocacy session in the city, tonight's was about education, and we watched inside out at the end and got free pizza. But I was like one of 3 people that showed up, so it wasn't a whole lot different

But if you want to see a movie on your own, just do it. Everybody else is going to be too busy paying attention to what's happening in the movie to even notice your existence. But on the off chance they do, I'd personally be more concerned by a large group coming in together, because that usually means they're going to be all talky and forget other people exist. A solo person is just going to watch the movie and leave without any drama. So I say grab life by the balls and do what you want to do!
