It’s my irl bday today.
To celebrate I’m going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P’s are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.
OMG happy birthday BR!
I got duped into paying 60 bucks last time I went for indian :(
Thanks Baku! $60 for one!?
Unfortunately yes. Kind of embarrassing, but I walked in and sat down. I fully intended on just getting 1 plate with a can of drink, but she was like “you don’t want any starter???”, so I got 1 naan bread. But then she said “oh my gosh, you only want 1??? Are you sure!!! Are you sure you’re sure???”, so I got 2. Then for the drink, she seemed disappointed I was only getting a diet coke, so she recommended the mango lassi. I’d never heard of it, so I tried one. Then for the main, I just wanted a small curry on rice, but she convinced me to get a spicy lamb soup with a very large side of saffron rice. Then obviously I skipped dessert.
That’s the day I learnt how to say no, because fucking ouch. I had a fair bit of extra money that week, and rather than saving it like a normal person, I decided to just be a silly little idiot and “treat myself”, only to not say no to anything and spend a fucking shit ton for a single meal. I’m pretty sure it was actually $68ish and I think they stung me with card fees. Ooft. I did take a fair bit home with me though, but that killed my plans to go see a movie afterwards, because I didn’t want it sitting in my bag all night and going off or something

Thanks! I’m on win 7 so they come up as squares. After pasting the squares into google it comes up as Hippo baby chicken parrot which honestly is a very sweet thing to say.
Meant to be Hippo birdies. A Happy Birthday saying I probably acquired from LJ
Happy birthday wishes!
Thanks Eagle!
Awesome.
Happy birthday!
More than happy for takeaway at home for my birthday!
Thank you. Takeaway just seems a lot easier for everyone.
Hey happy birthday bottom!
Happy birthday, hope there’s no nastiness with in laws and the weekend erases any yucky things from this week! Make sure you don’t get a half portion. And if it’s good I wanna know where it’s from.
Thank you :) Thankfully they were chill.
It was very good food from Kew curry house. Used to be called Aachis I think.
Happy frikkin birthday dude!
Happy birthday! Hope you’re having a fabulous day! 🎂
Thank you springchicken :)
Happy b’day! I gift you a hedge trimmer
Little one bought home her fathers day gift which was a ‘all about her dad’ poster and she has successfully made me sound like I’m an alcoholic.
Which is super impressive because I don’t even drink alcohol, lol.
My dad loves books and drinks 📙 🍷
I’ve had My mum loves food. Correct ✅
lol 🍻
hey, if shes calling you Dad and not Mumma consider that a win :-D
Meeting to decide my future with my current workplace in 12 minutes, send me loads of positive vibes! I just need to not cry!
Edit: Good news is that I still have a job. I just need to be… a little less shit at it.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Good to hear and I know the feeling. I hope everything works out and they give you the support you need
There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)
Those people need to own rabbits. Or preferably no animals at all because they lack any sort of clue.
And if you disagree with them on the viability of vegan diets and cats you’re ‘emotionally invested in them being wrong’
Just…dude. Don’t own a fucking cat. Millions do it.
It’s like they don’t care about the fact that cats are obligate carnivores.
Edit: in fact, they don’t even know what ‘obligate carnivore’ means.
There’s slews of 'em going ‘but supplements and this single study that mostly looked at dogs said it was ok!!’
Like…jesus. They’re trying to force an animal to go against its nature to suit their personal preferences and they do not see the hypocrisy. Get a fucking parrot you twonks
Love to see their reaction to chickens demolishing any rat they find!
A mouse in a chook pen is like the scarabs eating that dude in The Mummy. it’s fucking terrifying
Bugs!? I hate bugs!
My dog loves cucumber. But goes crazy for big meaty bones. Lettuce and celery result in a dog equivalent of a death stare. I’m sure he would throw them back at me if he could 😂
A long ago cat thought carrot greens were LSD! She still ate meat including an unfortunate quantity of the local lizard population.
One of my previous dogs loved vegetables and was a menace in the vegetable garden. She was particularly fond of tomatoes and broccoli/cauliflower - she loved to munch on a sun-warmed broccoli leaf in the afternoons, and would over time eat the whole plant. She also taught my other dog to do the same. Fortunately Mr Woof is much more restrained.
Punkin was an absolute grass whore. It made him barf everywhere and occasionally we ended up with anal beads of poop and grass but god damn that boy was gonna reload and nothing could stop him
Same with my dog. Not even a bit of carrot which a lot of dogs love.
The whole point of these restrictive diets is to go against nature.
It’s to weaken the body so that the spirit can take better control and live a purer life.
This applies to cats? Good luck making any cat live a purer life.
I aspire to the purity of a cats life. Abject hedonism and if you don’t understand something, smack it.
They’re the types to give vegans a bad name.
I can’t believe how much outrage there has been over this. It seems to be making rounds on the entirety of lemmy every couple days
Hi! I’m the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase “obligate carnivore” is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.
But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)
…nah mate. You’re literally putting your desires over the animal’s needs. It’s the same egotistical “animals must serve the desires of man” schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.
Miss me with that bullshit.
soz but are the animals killed for the cat food not equally deserving of life and happiness as a cat?
🍿🍿🍿
Hope that’s oil or margarine on that popcorn! Chicken salt is fine though, amusingly it has no chicken in it. Weird name huh?
Margarine should only be used as axel grease. Good afternoon.
I used to agree, but nuttlex buttery is actually quite good!
although personally don’t add fat to much, being an enthusiastic cook that is growing sideways a little more than I ought to.
Um, we’re having TWO Thursdays this week? Does that mean 2 paydays??? Please please let this be true. Or is this a fiendish plot to prevent our Friday overindulgences?
Two Thursdays is just unholy. When i am god i shall ban Thursdays altogether
So, you won’t be Thor then.
he can take wodin’s if he wants it so bad.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Thursdays…
I overindulge on Thursdays as well. places monocle
I have done everything to not have to buy disposable vapes, but the run around and scams with the doctors and pharmacies is an absolute joke.
First you have to pay 90ish bucks for a script, which only allows you to use it at the chemist they are linked to. So every doctor has basically started their own little chemist to dispense the products.
And so if they happen to run out of stock, we’ll, you need to pay for another script so you can access the product at another pharmacy/store.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in years. And that’s not hyperbole.
Everyone is buying disposables, because the system that the government set up is an absolute sham.
So now I’m risking buying stuff from overseas that might get seized at border control, because the disposables are really fucking bad for you. They affect your breathing in a negative way almost instantly.
I’ve tried the patches, the inhaler, even the medicine. It didn’t work for me, because it’s really hard to quit something you’ve been taking for over 20 years on a daily basis.
Well done federal government.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in years. And that’s not hyperbole
YEP. and people walking through crowds smoking. Or taking it out and having it in your mouth (unlit) waiting for the train doors to open so you can spark up immediately.
See that’s weird. I have never rolled on the train, nor had one ready when I exit lol. How stressed by the train are these dudes?
It’s a return to the old days of smokers out the front of offices again.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in years. And that’s not hyperbole.
I’ve also noticed this, as a smoker, that there are waaaaay more people smoking than previously. Young people too, when before it was just older guys usually (and the two old ladies outside the massage and tarot reading joint 😂)
Exactly! And kids are getting ciggies from the same places that sell disposable vapes! They’re usually cheap black market smokes from China
do the patches, do more of them if you must but please stay away from disposables.
Thankfully my order from the pharmacy came today and I didn’t have to resort to disposables. I honestly can’t believe how bad they are for my lungs. Literally 1 puff and my chest feels heavy. Teens would have been better off using refillable devices than the disposables.
Theres shops everywhere selling them. I don’t see anyone stopping them.
This fucking government has been such a let down.
Meant to be another after work drinks put on tonight but I am too knackered for twice in a row. This place is going to turn me into more of alcoholic than I already am
Swans!
Everyone stopped :)
They’re so pretty but awkward looking!
Such gigantic necks. Like water giraffes
Sometimes I look at some things I said and done 20 years ago and think omg cringe.
lol I think nearly all of us can relate to that
Hell I don’t even need to go that far back…
Wouldn’t even need to switch am and pm for me.
Facebook reminders remind me of this all the time (to which I delete them). God I was a fool.
If you don’t look back on your past self and cringe, then you didn’t grow as a person.
Cat pretending to be Orange. Got his head stuck in a tissue box.
Almost Friday guys hang in there

I missed the joke, disregard
Biscuits done.
The chilling time before rolling out was a bit too long I think, the dough was a bit too hard initially. The embossed roller worked fairly well, but I could probably use some practice to get it a bit more even. I also played around with a bunch of different cutters so have a variety of biscuit shapes and sizes - I’ll pick the nicest looking to take to work tomorrow and the rest will be snacks for me.
I’m also taking advantage of the oven being hot to make pizza for dinner.
Jesus Christ.
I think he’s more of a wafer.
Amen
I preped ginger mice for latter decoration
What is going on here? I want to shower in everyone’s baked goods 👄🫦
I think that would hurt
Semi chill, print, chill is the way with these I believe. Nice job though!
Long day but much more satisfied today and got a wee bit of walking in… plus my favourite aunt confirmed she WILL be available when I want to go see her after all - so I have something to look forward to at the end of September!! Yay! That’s really lifted my mood 🥰
Yay 🥰
This wind fucking sucks lol can’t sleep
are we not doing a friday? I can do one if people want.
Nah it’s Groundhog Day.
They say we’re young and we don’t know…
Don’t worry about it. Seagoon will change it when she jumps on.
it’s fixed now, 😐
👍
There was panic at the station 😂
Fire in the disco!
