Hi cute doggo 👋
I’m on s3 of For All Mankind and dear lord the writing on this show has gone down so dramatically from the relatively disciplined s1…
I went to this party the other day. There was this lady there that kept staring at me whenever she was near by and I was chatting to someone. I introduced myself but didn’t get a chance to talk to her again that night.
I’m going to be in a group of people and she’ll be there as well on the weekend.
Do you think it’s worth trying to ask her out?
I know how this sounds but I missed a lot of this stuff growing up due to bad decisions.
I feel like a teenager with this stuff.
Yeh this weekend sounds like a good chance to actually get to chat to her a bit and get a bit of a feel of things. Then if it feels good absolutely ask her out :)
maybe just chat at the party for a while and see how it goes , then ask her out 😊🤞
Does the staring thing mean she wants me to talk to her? I know it’s a dumb question but I honestly don’t know 😔
I stare at people who I find attractive, before I realise I’m doing it. No harm in chatting with her next time you see her, and asking if she wants to get a coffee sometime :)
Worst case: she says no (no biggie)
Good case: you make a new friend!
Great case: you dare for a number of years
Best case: you grow old togetherMy metaphor lost it at the end, but my point is, you don’t know until you do :) give it a shot!
Alternatively you may have spinach in your teeth, or she’s trying to figure out the seams in something interesting you’re wearing. (Guilty of the later many a time)
Most probably
w00t I did an online crossword in less than 3 minutes . pen and paper is always faster tho
I’ve figured out my next audiobook now that I’ve finished World War Z.
I’m going to try and work my way through Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books. There’s like 41 of them though and figuring out a reading order is pretty complicated. Peoples “guides” online are more suggestions than guides. One thing everyone agrees on though, even apparently Mr. Pratchett himself, is not to start at the beginning.
I’ve started with book #4, Mort. Which is the first in the “Death” sub-series. Like I said, it’s complicated.
Also I found a site with a torrent of aaaaaall of the audiobooks which makes me very happy.
I hope you love them all. The Witches series was my favourite, my toddler is starting small, with “Where’s my Cow?”, but it’s just as good as the rest of them.
Ha I started these over the long weekend. In defiance of all advice I am starting from the start (but will probably wander later). I am enjoying them.

🕵️Hello, this is the Health Inspector. Just checking for up to date certifications and hygiene standards. You may go about your business while I have a look around.🕵️
it’s all good, the man with hole in hands said so
Ok everything seems to be in order although the doughnut machine doesn’t seem be working properly. My full report will be forthcoming in the mail.
Thank you. It would be wonderful if the government could grant us a donut machine.
cappuccino and an almond croissant please
🥛☕️🌰🥐
thanks 😋
Roasted peaches and prawn toast please. And a nice cup of tea too.
🔥🍑🦐🍞☕️
Thank you.
I was digging through my photos from Adelaide and found more angry warning signs. So continuing on from my Adelaide complaint thread a few weeks ago:
Being at a train station without intending to board a train is a $1,250 expiration notice, just like not buying your bike a ticket (their version of Myki is on the train, so the station isn’t a ticketed area)
Standing too close to the driver door is a $750 expiration notice
Walking through carriages while the train is moving isn’t just politely discouraged, it’s also a $750 expiration notice
Notably though, they seem to have replaced all the cops with ambulance drivers and Wilton security lol. Only saw 1 cop car there, but about 100 Wilson security and about 1000 ambulances (that must be where all ours vanished to)
Don’t forget about the mandatory $99 Victims of Crime surcharge on all penalties they have over there.
The penalty for failing to vote in SA is $10, but with $99 in victim surcharge fees.
Yoooo that’s wild
I have started watching suits. Only about 10 years too late. It’s hard to find interesting shows that I don’t need to supplement with phone browsing.
My partner is watching the 3 Body Problem at the moment, truly some hard sci-fi. I want to but my attention span is dismally tiny. I’d be better off reading the books I reckon.
The bits I’ve seen indicate it is really good! Rare for me to stand there and read the subtitles for as long as I did haha!
I also like finding smaller YT channels (100k subs rather than 2mil subs) in niches that are interesting. There’s a channel called Ants Canada thats made like a weekly serial about his HUGE terrarium ecosystem: he has a few different species of ants, mantis’, lizards, spiders, crickets, etc and does introductions or culls (culls as in he accidently put in some vegetation that had fire ants and had to figure out how to get them out before they fucked the other animals). Anyway! It’s good!
IDK what my point was… I just also have issues keeping my attention on a movie or show ugh
I enjoyed 3 body problem except the cancer stuff. Don’t need that when I’m trying to unwind. Was that it or is there another set of episodes coming? (Or a book to buy)
I think what’s out is it for now, not sure if they’ll do a second season.
But the show is based on the first book for the trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past (the books in order are The Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death’s End). I think they were released in China around 2008 onwards, and translated to English early 2010s. Critical of China surveillance and control, but hard sci-fi. That’s about all I know besides some plot points here and there picked up from the internet.
The 3 Body Problem trilogy books are far superior to the show. Recommended reading for any sci-fi enjoyer.
That does tend to be the case with books adapted to TV/film. Looking at you, Eragon and ATLA.
Tangent: LOTR is the exception imo, Peter Jackson and crew did a great job in adapting a fictional history tome into a movie. Getting rid of Tom Bombadil was a good move, despite him being so cool in the book.
I’ll have to pick the books up and give them a read, I liked what little I saw in Wikipedia. Thank you!!
No need for Tom in the movie, the movie viewer take his place as the out of time, out of place witness to the world.
When we watch the trilogy, we are all Tom Bombadil hehe
exactly 😊
I smashed through 3 body problem, loved it. I tried the audiobook a year or so ago and it was far too dense, had to give up quite early. I think it is translated from Mandarin too so it can seem a bit clunky. The tv series I find a lot of fun though. I don’t think you need to pay toooo close attention, just enjoy the ominous spooky vibe!
I don’t mind janky translations, should read what they did to Vampire Hunter D after the first two books. Man, that was a jank-ass translation. (I’m pretty sure it was VHD, but it was some Japanese anime novel (not a manga) I grabbed from the library 20 years ago haha.
My partner found a streaming site, so I don’t need to sub, I may put that on my other screen today while I colonise Mars haha
Thank you rubbish truck driver for knocking over my recycling bin. Always a pleasure being hunched over and gathering pieces of cardboard at 730 am.
Good think the recycle truck hasn’t been around yet.
Headlines I’m bored with: the Royal Family, the Israel/Palestine conflict and Brittany Higgins.
Some may consider this controversial but I think daylights savings time should be permanent.
Also the Why Australians will be worse off this year 😔
Daylight saving time has a place in summer. In winter not so much.
And in a similar vein anything interest rate related. Hot tip writing about interest rates doesn’t reduce them so shut the fuck up until you have something useful to say.
I’d love it in winter. Bit of extra daylight at the end of the day would be ideal. Would it be dark in the morning? Yes but I hate the morning anyway so I’m unaffected.
Who wants to post tomorrow’s DT in 3 hours?
If you get busy or fall asleep it’s alright! If you sign up but haven’t posted by 12:15, it’s first in best dressed
I’ll have a go. 👍
Understood
Bit chilly this morning. I had to put pants on. They have sloths on them. ☺
The radiator heater has been taken out of storage and is ready to go
First morning in UGGs and trackies for me, this year.
Not gonna lie, I dig it.
was 10 when I left my place at 6:40. Its been colder though, I think 2/3 weeks ago was single digits.
I put the heater on because Bill had cold paws. 🐈⬛🐾❄️
Another work person wanting something early this morning disturbing my personal time.
I’m a little irritated by it today and eating into my coffee time early in the moment.
I need to learn to deflect and defer them for later and to be able to tell them that in person.
Practice saying: yeah, nah.
Coffee is much more important that other people deferring their responsibilities onto you unceremoniously and early.
Just remove the option of contacting you before hours. I have to take teams off my phone every couple of weeks for the same reason.
They were physically in my office space when I got in this morning.
I enjoy my coffee in the car rather than the office to avoid this kind of situation… Not ideal though
Having a nice lazy start to the morning. Have a GP appointment shortly and currently sitting in a cafe nearby waiting for a bagel and coffee before I slowly head into to work for a short day
Shout out to the homeless bloke screaming at me on my way to the station this morning. Just a great way to start the morning. Also love that after having a go at me for what ever imagined sin he calls out “help me” after I’ve walked off and ignored him. Yeaaaaah, not gonna do that dude. My empathy extends as far as not taking your crutch off you and belting you over the head with it.
This is so sad. It’s like he had a moment of clarity .
He’s angry at society ( and he has cause to be )
but he can only take it out on individuals, but then realises individuals are the only people who can help him .
Doesn’t mean you should put up with it tho, he needs professional help.
I reckon more likely trying to manipulate me cause I’m pretty sure he insulted me for not helping him.
he doesn’t sound rational
I have great sympathy for people who live on the streets, it’s very traumatic and they end up with ptsd very quickly
beggars is different, most beggars aren’t homeless
Before I moved to downtown Detroit I had a plan for interacting with the homeless people. It was intense there.
If I had time I would listen to their story. Every homeless person or beggar got a dollar or two. If there was a problem I would try to help them out. Anyone sleeping on a warm grill on the sidewalk got some money. Anyone going through a garbage can got money.
Con artists from the suburbs got nothing
I also taught my husband to do that.
We never had a problem downtown. Husband’s colleagues would get harassed, but not him.
By the town I moved locals were calling me sister.
But not once in over 6 years did the Nation of Islam guy handing out pamphlets ever acknowledge my existence …lol
