Okay, you do you.

Buy physical media from independent production companies. Pirate whatever Disney, Netflix and Amazon are cranking out.

Yes stealing food is unethical. If someone steals your food you should take it right back off them.

That’s why I do all my shoplifting at the duopoly stores that are currently under government investigation for wage theft and price gouging… and not the community grocer who isn’t stealing from the public.

Having had a defecography this is very similar to the encouragement the radiologist gave me…

I also can’t fathom how they stayed on the shelves after Vegemite was invented. It’s the superior black toast tar.

And I’m not just saying that because I’m Australian and eat Vegemite off a spoon.

I was raised on Marmite, and promite, and I found them disgusting. Genuinely thought all the black yeast biproducts were the same, mum was of the opinion that “we have Vegemite at home” when what we had was Dick Smith’s Ozemite.

Was introduced to name brand Vegemite in my late teens and finally understood why this product has survived capitalism. It’s so fucking good.

I’ve never tried bovril (was raised vegetarian, and developed an alpha-gal allergy later in life), but I’ve definitely tried every application you can think of for Vegemite - it’s good in gravy, including making a vegetarian “beef tea” and “Vegemite cordial” for hot days.

My, at the time unknown degenerative collagen coding defect was also treated as “lose weight fatty”, I lost weight, without even trying, because it turns out collagen is an important tissue structure in a functional digestive system. I lost weight too fast, I lost a lot of lean muscle as well as fat.

Turns out muscle is important for holding your joints together if you don’t have quality collagen to do that job.

Suddenly the real cause of my symptoms was evident, but I never got an apology for years of misdiagnosis and being blamed for my own illness.

Fun fact, one of the many things I was told to do as part of proper treatment was gain weight! (albeit, muscle weight)

Now I’m starting to get cardiopulmonary symptoms, which makes sense, your heart and lungs also have collagen. I don’t have a specialist at the moment, and recently had to find a new GP because my old GP said I need to “exercise more” to prevent my new symptoms… Even though my physical therapist says my level of activity is more than enough and if my lungs aren’t physically structured properly, no amount of cardio workouts will help me breathe properly.

I’m hard of hearing and terrified of standing in the wrong place at an airport and missing the visual cues to board the flight. Once boarding starts and people start queueing up, I usually get in line because it’s helpful to see what everyone in front of me is doing - the order that they hand over paperwork or get carry on double checked. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to hear the attendant if they ask me questions at the gate because it’s so noisy, so I like to at least feel like I’m prepared.

One time I was flying with crutches and qualified for early pre-boarding because I needed the plane wheelchair (skychair). I sat right next to the gate desk and waited, then I started seeing people queue up so I quickly joined the line, wondering how pre-boarding works when the whole plane of passengers are already vying to be at the front of the line.

I get to the front, the attendant looks at my ticket then after some awkward back and forward eventually I realised they were telling me I’ll have to wait till everyone has boarded to get the sky-chair on. I should have come to the desk when pre boarding was announced. I pointed that I was sitting right in front of them… Apparently they were called my name 3 times over the loudspeaker.

Apparently airports can only comprehend one disability at a time (if that!) they knew I was hard of hearing (it’s on my ticket) but still thought calling me over the PA was the best way to get the attention of the deaf person sitting 80cm from their desk.

So I sat back down and waited for the line to clear, then I got back up when there were 2 people in line, and after another back and forward I learned that they had tried calling my name again about halfway through boarding because they only had one skychair and it was now or never because the chair had told fly with the other passenger because their arrival airport didn’t have a chair, or something, I dunno, anyway I kind of had to crawl down the ailse to get to my chair because in the past I’ve just used the backs of chairs to swing myself along, but the plane was full so I couldn’t do that.

Yeah, a better sentiment would be “whoever is still demanding that we work the 8/8/8 system in the current economy is Satan. Our forefathers fought to improve working conditions, we should fight too”

But then you’d have 4 dogs, 3 wolves and a rooster, and that’s against the rules.

What you need is 2 huskies, a bloodhound, 2 wolves, a kakapo, a howler monkey, and a rooster. For best results, duct tape your kakapo to your monkey.

Australia has some good ones too.

Are you busy? “flat out like a lizard drinking”

Should we start? “I’m not here to fuck spiders”

"going off like a gumtree on a gas line " was a common saying in our school, but I’m not sure how wide spread that one is, referring to how damn flammable they are.

I also love that “a bees dick” is a valid unit of measurement on most construction sites.

Well being a motorcyclist on the roads today may mean you don’t need a retirement plan after all!

(in all seriousness, stay safe out there, I’ve lost too many friends to careless drivers who don’t look for bikes before doing dumb shit on the roads)

Depends on the relationship.

If you live with someone and you break up with them, you don’t expect them to move out that same afternoon? Unless you’re offering to put them up in a hotel or something.

I’m using sync at the moment, I don’t dislike it but there is room for improvement. I have very low accessibility needs. I have palsies in my hands so for me it’s about having nice big icons to tap, because I don’t have the dexterity to push tiny text links or really cramped hit boxes.

My phone GUI is enlarged and sync is just the first third party app I found that scaled well with my phone, most third party apps work for me, it’s just the reddit official app that really, really doesn’t. It’s unreadable with my GUI settings.

Exactly, I didn’t have a tantrum. I used a third party app because of the accessibility features it offered that the official app doesn’t. I can’t use reddit now, so I don’t use reddit.

All the time, always and forever.

I will buy adaptors, and seek out wired headphones with a jack that fits my phone.

Friends and families have bought me wireless headphones, but I am a walking Bluetooth black zone (I’m constantly having to reset Bluetooth connections on my all my devices, no one else in my household has the same problem), and I’m notorious for loosing things.

I superglued my wireless ear buds to a chunky necklace so even if one fell out it wouldn’t get lost, it would just dangle around my neck. Lost the whole thing somewhere between the garage and the front door one night. Got my housemates out crawling in the grass looking for it with torches and playing the “lost ear bud” tone from the app, but we never found it. Not even when mowing the lawn did we ever hear it getting chewed up.

I’m not an audiophile, I have reverse slope hearing loss and I’m currently using a $10 pair of 3.5mm earphones with a $7 usbc adaptor and its exactly what I need because it’s cheap, replaceable, and I wouldn’t even notice better audio quality if it stuck it’s tongue in my ear.

I think technically the name lives up to the fruit, didn’t the fruit come before the colour? Or am I thinking of mandarin?
