fucken hell, incident on werribee line, very tall muscular arsehole threatens to kill the muslims in the carriage
people crowd around the muslims in carriage to protect
at the next stop I got off and called emergency line, cops and train driver informed within 1 minute
i’m not scared, just angry
That’s freaking terrifying. I hate that festering pustules like this can have so much power. Hope he gets put away for a good while
will he?
I imagine he will say he said and did nothing serious
would witnesses come forward?
maybe there are cameras in carriages
@Seagoon_ @just_kitten oh there are definitely cameras in the carriages.
good
Omg that’s horrible 😞
I am both 🤬😭
makes me so sad that people were threatened and were scared
also makes me ashamed, Australia is where people come to be safe
Yeah it is rage-sad. Good that there were enough others to protect them and you were able to alert the coppers. Bloody hell I’d be shaky after that
I’ll be shaky tomorrow
I’ve been thinking how easy it would be for witnesses to not understand what was going on
just another bogan is what a lot of people might think,
but this guy was very specific in his narrative and actions and he actually spurred me into action. I do not react so easily.
seriously, the kind of insane prick who would have a bomb
tho being cowardly he would leave
You did exactly the right thing (brother is a train driver). There are protocols for dealing with such arseholes, and he’s in a world of hurt right now. The railways take that sort of behaviour very seriously - not just the vilification laws apply here. Remember the emergency button next to each door - it’s there for this purpose.
I looked for the button, could not find it it
to actually yell in a public place, in a train carriage where people are captive, that he is going to kill , to rattle his bag, to say he had heavy objects in his bag, **that was some very very serious shit **
he told us who he was
he told us who he hates
he gave his justification, ie people who are against him deserve to die
he rattled his weapons
he told us what he was going to do
Coward.
This is why I started muay Thai.
If that dude happens to be fucked up on meth I could be a 5-time Australian MMA champion and I’d give him a w i d e berth.
I’ve never picked a fight or actively antagonised anyone in my life.
But sometimes, people want to hurt you no matter what. As demonstrated above.
True, that.
yes
sometimes the decision to act is made for us, whether we want it or not
I’m so sorry you and the others in the carriage had to go through that, what an awful situation. You did so good to call for help and I love to hear that others helped. What a shitty, shitty thing for that man to do. Look after yourself tonight, you are such an amazing person.
there was a young kid who got off at the same station as me, he was a witness in the same carriage but at the other end and he helped with details for the cops. He was a little shook up.
I’ve been wondering if I over reacted but the targets of this guy’s threats were terrified. It was real. 😐
You did not over react. The situation was real and you handled it so well.
Jesus, I’m glad you’re ok.
That’s so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he’s racist towards, and enjoys his reward… Racists seem to be getting bolder and I wish something would smack them back into their holes.
It really sucks that I wouldn’t be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation. You did so well.
Edit: I’ve also thought that it’s really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole, especially if you’re required to verbally give the carriage number or tell them the situation. Because that might draw the aggression onto the person alerting the driver and even escalate the situation. I know there’s STOP IT but that’s non-urgent and wouldn’t get real time help
: I’ve also thought that it’s really dumb to make people push the emergency button in plain view of an aggressive arsehole,
this is the other reason i did not do it
just trying to keep it low key
: wouldn’t get real time help
yup
Fluff brigade
Can I take the little dark tabby floof at the back home with me?
I will happily pick them up for you. This Fluffball rubs up against my legs.
Pretty serious offer. If/when you do catch them please let me know. I definitely will take the little dark one. Will need to uber over to you to pick him/her up. Yes, I’ve tamed feral cats before.
OK leave it with me for the moment. Across the road is a lady that might be able to help me gather them.
I’ll keep you posted.
Will Defs take them to the vet to get checked for chips as well.
Sorry for the late reply - been out at a magic party a couple of doors down the street. Please keep me posted. Little guy/gal has just hit a nerve with me. Want him/her in my life.
That sounds fun!!!
No worries, will do :)
look at all those fluffy tails 😻
They seem healthy, but I was supposed to trap them so they can be deflead and deworned but work has gotten in the way.
Got to do some grocery shopping for the weekend, tackle Mt Washmore and very little else. I’ve got lunch planned for tomorrow; there’s pumpkin, spinach and ricotta lasagna with roast vegetables and a couple of schnitzels for the kids. Looking forward to it!
Biscoff is not good enough to merit a collab with literally every food brand in existence. They must be spending an absolute fortune.
I’m not sure what you’re saying here. If you combine Biscoff with a spoon, something magical happens…
Biscoff is in Big spoons pocket is what he’s saying
Biscoff spread, omg yes. Biscoff on biscoff for biscoff’s sake… IDK.
Right! Like Aperol a couple of summers ago. Why is it everywhere?!
The first few times I tasted it I loved it, but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I’ve got a half used jar I bought for something I made that’s probably due to be chucked out.
Just wanna say you’re cool as hell!
Aww thankyou! 💗
Biscoff is the poor man’s speculaas!
Homeward bound. 20 mins until my train back to Melbourne. Had a great time and met my good friend’s friends. He hired a company that makes fire cooked pizza, they drive in with a trailer of two wood fired pizza ovens and supplies, and kept us fed with fresh pizza for hours. Quite buzzed and glad I didn’t stay longer or I’d be toast
Looks like Bazza is installing on the old work laptop now. Bitlocker was getting in the way so I used command prompt to reformat the drive.
I had to use Windows to destroy the Windows.
Oh how poetic
It’s going to take a bit more work, but at least I have a massive partition of spyware out of the way for the moment
If it wasn’t for the audio software I’d have gotten rid of windows ages ago.
Sadly the majority of DAW and plugins don’t run on Linux or id have to run them in an emulator.
Yeah, none of the major ones are on Linux. The simpler plugins should just work but anything that breaks your workflow too much will be a deal breaker.
I use waveform and it has a Linux version. Ardour is another DAW that’s been getting popular on Linux. It might be worth checking out
I’ve heard of ardour before. Will suss it out.
Can x64 apps be emulated on Linux without much CPU and ram overhead?
Yeah, WINE has come a long way since Steam uses it for the Steamdeck. It’s quite common for programs to run better on Linux than Windows now
Shit. Might do some testing and see what the deal is.
I’m upgrading to a 9500x3d CPU soon. I think that’s what it is. Be curious to see the results.
I have an errand to run which will get me back home hopefully by 2pm latest then it’s gaaaaaaaames all day and guitar all night.
Had an awesome little jam yesterday. When I haven’t played for a few days it kinda builds up which is cool.
Also I’m done with cyberpunk. It’s my perfect dopamine game so it needs to go for a while.
Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
Waffle fries are the superior potato shape and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
Edit: why yes fuck head uber eats scooter guy, come onto the footpath while I’m right there and almost run me over.
Fuck this suburb. 4 months to go.
I just want to introduce the newest member of my family.
A deformed lemon.
I’m calling it Sharlene or Nasum.
How about Bert?
spoiler
lol. yep bert it is!
ok, now i’m starting to feel teary and shaky
this wasn’t a meth head, this was a fanatic , he spouted fanatic beliefs and hate
I heard that the Tetris preventing ptsd thing is a myth but just in case it isn’t? https://play.tetris.com/
thank you 😘😭
Otherwise maybe a warm drink or shower, a movie, a nap? Wrap up tightly in a blanket?
Let yourself shake if you need to
i’ll keep busy , dwelling doesn’t help
I did good. 🙂
My friend is going to Perth today, and I’m going to Waurn Ponds and back. Our travel times will be about the same
There is no

Helped aunt out with what turned out to be some rather disastrous painting of some old cabinetry with wall paint and wall tiles with metal paint. I am not good at this but it was fun helping out and tidying out some insanely messy areas. The place looks so different now, absolutely not suitable for old people but I’ll be sad to see it go and not get to visit them there. Anyway I’m properly pooped. Psyched to get some house chores smashed tomorrow though
Finally home.
Shopping is done.
All cats have assorted treats and food (so does the human)
Snacks have been organised.
Now comes the zonk!
I must arise. Late morning marketing and some sunshine strolling is called for
yes, sunshine good 🌞
