    Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.

    At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴‍☠️, of course)

    I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”

      Do you have an actual tagine because I want one but they’re so awkward to store in a tiny kitchen?

      Wow. That’s impressive.

      Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.

      Dinner sounds yummy!

      It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.

    It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

    Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

    Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

    I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

    Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

    If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?

      I’m genuinely surprised and impressed at how many people are at work today. Granted, there is a lot going on right now. But still - hardly anyone took the day off.

    Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.

    Time to go out there and glare at them.

    Yes, I’ve done it before.

            I’m okay with boganese.

            They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.

            Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.

            The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.

            Methinks we’re friends now.

      My neighbour had been doing tons of loud renos at all hours for months . He seems to have stopped the past week or so. Thankfully.

      Other neighbours were starting to shout at him 😬

    Fucking Australian banks. I’ve been overseas for some time now and international transactions have worked, grab app has made several deductions.

    Get to my last hotel. They attempt a prepayment of just under 300 aud. Bank denies transaction. No reason given. Fucks sake.

    Fortunately I had my Transfer Wise card with me which worked just fine.

        I was definitely irritated. Then several other things flustered me afterwards. Not loving the vibe of HCMC so far. It’s a bit much with gritty and somewhat sleazy undertones.

    Just learned what a Tesla cybertruck looks like. It’s comical. I think Elon must have presented the designers with a crayon drawing he made when he was 6 years old, and said ‘this, but in silver’.

      Not only does it look dumb af, it is also so very poorly made. Like the designers saw all the improvements to cars made over the last 70years and threw it all out. Brake issues, everything is fragile, no sensors for the boot (it will literally chop ya fingers off if you get them caught when it’s closing), the windshield isn’t safety glass, etc. It’s just a shitshow. I don’t understand how they can be driven legally here; they’re a deathtrap.

          @Thornburywitch @StudChud The Pinto was a car so awful that it made Ralph Nader a national public figure. But that’s a whole different story — we’re talking about dodgy cars, and not dodgy election systems that don’t have preferential voting.

          Elon knows nothing about science, or anything of substance, he’s a true nepo-baby cunt surrounded by yesmen.

            Agree. I’m torn though, because for all his massive faults and huge I’m a dick-ness, he has pushed space technology forward at a time when it was stagnating.

        Seeing that episode when it aired, as compared to seeing it now, with two kids in the car…hits different. It’s genius.
