Apparently it was officially published in 1998. I was sure we had it before that. *shrug*

I’m pretty sure the Cheapass Games “Lord of the Fries” card game predates the food franchise by a decade or more. We’ve had a copy since the mid 90s and it was a reprint then.

Newsflash - being male and white is not a professional qualification or even an indicator of skill, expertise or competence.

We know a couple planning to move to Portugal. They have a program to head-hunt academics.

I forwarded one to IT for review because I didn’t recognise the domain and it was claiming to be internal training in IT security.
They hadn’t notified us in any way they they were using a new specialised third party training company…

Cancel Culture is the ultimate expression of ‘the customer is always right’.
It’s the public saying that they are no longer buying what you’re selling. Whether that’s a product, a service, an entertainment or an idea.

I had to ask someone to get something from a top shelf for me yesterday (I’m 5’2” on a good day). Most of the time people are helpful and gracious about it.
The problem with insisting you find a staff member is there are frequently very few around to ask because‘capitalism’ means understaffed.

Who would have thought that the Engadine McDonalds incident was merely training to stand next to Trump smiling many years later.

On the topic of flashing - dickpics are just digital flashing. We made it easier for men to flash women, often from the safety of their own bedrooms or bathrooms, and in doing so expanded the number of men who felt comfortable doing so.

Ahem… ‘underage women’.
We all know girls are fully mature women from … let’s say 13 or so … whereas men are only vulnerable and easily influenced boys until they are at least 30.
But women are too childlike to be in positions of responsibility, ever.
Something, something, internal consistency

The loss of the ‘third place’ has left many people rudderless and in search of some way to feel connected. Instead of in person gathering places, they end up in Internet forums and echo chambers - where anonymity holds no one to account.

Add to that - if the frontline approaches or passes where you live, the soldiers don’t politely doff their caps and skirt around women in their path. Civilian women have been victims of war since the very first conflict and are often treated as spoils for the combatants to claim.

He also ignored that there were women close to the frontline as nurses, all volunteers. And a small number of women behind the lines as spies.

I wonder if we will ever be told the cost in manpower hunting down this one assailant in comparison to all the other murders that go unsolved.
I suspect more cases would be closed if similar levels of resources were allocated. But we know that isn’t sustainable, and the victim was ‘important’.

It’s a few decades back now - but I had multiple teachers tell me I shouldn’t be doing a maths/physics/chemistry course load for HSC - I should be doing accounting and typing and home economics. I was the second highest ranked student in the school. Imagine what I could have done with support.

I worked as an Apple service tech when the iMac launched. I left blood visible inside the front fascia of one of the three demo models in Australia for launch because the flashing was so sharp.

Not specifically an ergonomic mouse - but as someone with small hands I like the Logitech MX/M2 Anywhere mouse. It’s light, I get several months from a charge and it is multi buttoned.

They know that there are plenty of people who won’t want to jump through all the hoops of proving their identity. And they’re hoping they will just go back to getting all their information from Murdoch owned sources.

Yet another man whose big brain can simultaneously hold the ideas that women are childish and immature while at the same time expecting all the women in their lives to mother them and protect them from responsibility.
Your problem isn’t women. It’s capitalism and toxic masculinity.

Either they don’t know he was convicted or they don’t believe the conviction was legitimate.
Both are problematic.

If I was Apple or Google I wouldn’t want to be responsible for securing that information.

There are valid concerns that it will put PII in the hands of people that don’t really need it and become another vector for identity theft.

I can’t read the article as I’m not a subscriber.
Australia appears about to pass a law requiring age verification for social media sites. There’s already debates about how secure the identity verification process will be.

Cancer survivor with an autoimmune condition - I was a gymnast in my teens, very active in my 20s and less so in my 30s. I now need days to recover after even light exercise. An exercise therapist is lower in the priority list than other specialists.

If you haven’t done so you, make a feature request through the feedback function.
The way to get any change to a live service is to ask for it (a lot).
They don’t know what’s important to you if you don’t tell them.

I post this in women’s spaces a fair bit:
An intimate partner relationship should be two people supporting each other to be the best version of themselves possible.
You should be a better you and your life should be better with them in it. Don’t accept any less.

Read this while half asleep and parsed is as “We’re hiring an undead writer…”
Which would be a heck of a DEI hire. 🙃

We lived not far from being able to see the Aireys Inlet lighthouse from our backyard. The dunes were in the way.

That awoke some long buried memories - it was filmed down the road from where I grew up (relatively speaking for the bush).

I would add that the systems put in place to prevent fraudulent disability support requests create an excessive barrier for those who need the services.

Self care includes taking time to be still and to disconnect.
No machine can be ‘productive’ all the time.
Everyone needs rest. The urge to be super-productive can be an early stage of burnout.
Pace yourself; establish routines that include breaks, exercise and time in the sun doing nothing.
