Good night everyone 😘😘😘

Currently trying to convince the microphones that don't exist I have IBS and want a firearm to shoot wild pigs
- sick of fake YT of classical music and fake jordan peterson ( not kidding, there are many fake yt channels using simulated peterson voice and ai written psychobabble )
- Start complaining about needing it for 30-50 feral hogs to protect your children
  
  Children is a sure sign they targeted me wrong. Having just watched a doco on toy development 😺
- What does this mean?
  
  I thought I was the only one.
  It’s a lil bit schizophrenic
  
  I'm saying words I have no interest in really very often to see if advertisements turn up.

Ohohohoo I just scored one of these.
thaanak youuuuu
(either it goes into the bedroom and the old bedroom TV becomes my retro console tv since that's what it was always set up for being as it has UHF inputs (just moving from the bedroom to my office), or it goes in my office as my retro console TV)
- I want an Existential Crisis Duck Night light. My life will not be complete without it.
  
  Idk, have you seen the capybara variant?
  
  I like those glowing mushroom lights.
- That’s cute as hell. Perfect little bedroom telly

A bit of rain - finally! Watering the garden should have worked, but I did pack away the big hose from the front garden so maybe that jinxed it. Grateful for all we get though. It's just been so so dry - it's far past the usual time for the autumn break.

Oh Lordy, the pope has passed away.
- Sent a cardinal to lecture vance, turns out he was on his deathbed. Chose not to spend his final hours with vance. Top call.
  
  Smart move.
  That would have been one of the worst ways to spend his last hours considering their past meetings have been not so great.
- Oh wow. I saw a shot of his Easter blessing and thought he looked shit. Poor old fella. I think he was one of the (few) good ones.
- oh dear
  I hope someone with a strong anti-fascist character is chosen as replacement
  
  Me too. This one was at least progressive in some ways and could have offered some protection in the face of advancing fascism :(
  
  OH just said the same thing

Tomorrow I’m going to be getting my phosphate supplement, Melbcat’s biccies, and maybe some physical storage items from Officeworks. It’s going to be an expensive day but you know. There’s a need.
Feeling a bit stressed for the end of the year when I’m going to have to give up my social media. It’s both really unhealthy mentally and bad for privacy but it’s something for days where I can’t do much. I wish I knew how to do useful things like code or could get rid of this art block.
Edit: I also found a box of 100 pre-pasted toothbrushes online for $26.90. Unit cost of about 27 cents, very nice. The drawback is they may not have fluoride and might get thrown out after.
Also I don’t know the website. Plus they might get stolen off my doorstep and thrown into a bush or bin before they can be given out…
Still considering it for the community pantry when money is less tight because even if they’re crappy, 100 toothbrushes supplies a lot of people who might not be able to get a new one. And they can be kept for reuse with donated fluoride toothpaste.
- Bad laws are meant to be broken. I'm old enough to remember my sexuality being illegal, fuck'em

The Easter bunny brought me an Allen's Easter egg with popping candy through it and it was very good.
- I found out (because my local IGA was selling near use-by for 99c) they also come in *jaffa *form. yes, I bought them all.
- Ooh, I love popping candy chocolate, I'm jealous. Mr Woof chased the Easter bunny away so I didn't get any eggs.

The Last of Us season 2 ep2 was fucking jaw dropping if you are a fan of the series
- Is that where they play golf?
  
  I think so. It was hard to see through the tears.

Jesus titty pancakes is it even possible to get a tv below 24" now?? It's for "i don't wanna get out of bed and wanna watch shit" I don't want a goddamn theatre in there
- I have a widescreen monitor on my computer that doubles as a TV. I have a tiny living room x office and it works well.
- Agreed. I had a tiny one with a dvd player and after that was gone accidentally bought a huge tv online with a player that doesn’t seem to function.
  I think I’m gonna just sell it on and use the desktop to watch dvds if need be. As I put a cd drive in when I built it. Clunky but eh.

Halfway through s3 of Animal Kingdom, hearing about the Pope dying is a bit confusing now. I mean I'm sure he's eventually going to die by the end of 7 seasons... Still a solidly B grade series so far, the network TV tropes are meh, but I do love Shawn Hatosy though which is why I'm really watching this show...

Missed the train this morning by ten minutes. I was wearing my watch upside down. 🙃

Wish I had some chippies for the Easter Monday footy match.
Got some gummy lollies and some pink moscato for today.
Go the mighty Cats!
- pink moscato 🤤
  gummy lollies 🤤

I was right.
Was doubling up.
Good I know now, but can't help but feel annoyed at the years of unnecessary anxiety lol
Edit: surprisingly more focused and motivated on half the dose. I'm still a bit shocked at what's been happening this whole time. 🤦
- that's good you have it figured out now
  not good your docs didn't tell you what to watch out for
- Would you give 1/4 a shot?
  
  Already tried. Wasn't enough. A 50% reduction is fucking massive though.
- Yay I'm glad you figured out a better dose! How did you do that?
  Edit: nvm, kept reading
- Good you worked it out. Maybe it’s contributed to the migraines, too?
  
  I think so because my body isn't as tense. I actually feel relaxed for the first time in half a decade lol
  But in all seriousness, it'll be an adjustment. I'm glad I figured it out.
- Did the doctor give you a certain dosage and you figured it out on your own?
  
  No I was given a script and told to work it out.

took me an hour to figure out one of things i wrote on my shopping list
so tired from housework yesterday i'm just going out doing errands today

Public health warning, although I fear it may be too late..
Save yourselves! These eggs are crack. NOBODY in this house has been able to stop at one bag!
- I have not had the pleasure of one of those yet.
  
  I’m not sharing.
- i got into the hazelnut one
  
  We had that one too. Had...

My brain radio is now stuck on Evenescence.
Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark
- Here, this will help. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmxLja-DRIw
  :)
- The Birthday Massacre just released a new album, let me know what you think of it
- i am now infected

Oh yuck. There is a reason I generally avoid red wine. Histamines and crying make for one puffy Catfish. Fetch me a cucumber!
- I hope you’re ok Catfish
  
  Yes thank you. Just having the sads on behalf of a friend.

Finally! Coolth!!!
- It’s my fault it didn’t rain, I fell asleep without hanging the laundry out

OK. Let the adhd med trial #4 begin.
Edit: so far difference is noticeable. More social, less anxious.

I’m also working on getting Linux onto an old desktop that doesn’t have the requirements to update to Windows 11. I’m backing that up and will see how I go once I’m done with previous. I’ve installed it before but only did things like installing stuff and surfing and once ran an antivirus to practice the commands so this might be an easy way to take a deeper dive than previously. See if it can do the things I need.
The one snag with that is I’m trying to do the checksum to verify the Cinnamon iso before creating the bootable version and the hashes are not matching.
I downloaded both the sha256 files I was directed to so they should be the right ones, I’m typing the powershell command right and it’s working, and have tried multiple mirrors for the iso so… ???
Maybe I should try again with Ubuntu? But Mint is the beginner version for people transitioning from Windows

Good night everyone. 😘😘😘
- Good morning Seagoon 😻
  
  Good morning Force. 🌞
