Melbourne

I guess Christmas in July is a real thing. At least KFC thinks so and says we should all be wearing ugly Christmas jumpers, putting up Christmas trees, ordering chicken buckets, and having the time of our lives with friends at a party.

Hey @[email protected] I made a fish dish too.

My tuna Mornay

Tell you what, being in the office has got me feeling like a rat in a warming pot. Had to do a fire safety tour and spent the entire time thinking how embarrassing it would be to have a panic attack on my first day back.

So Temple and Webster allegedly can't deliver to a Parcel Locker. Meanwhile it's come to light that the carrier is Australia Post.....

I have to have a phone call with someone for this job... Ughhhhhhhh I don't wanna!

But I've gotta rip the band-aid off soon.

I enjoy watching The Witcher but my god Jaskier is so annoying.

new inks and paint have been obtained , calligraphy india ink, dark blue, metallic black and a box of mixed colours , wheeee 😀😀😀

Finding time for driving lessons has been proving really hard but I’m going insane being stuck at home with the baby all day. I think I need to brave figuring out the bus with pram etc because then at least I could get to the shopping centre or train station but I’m scared :-(

Imagine watching "Judgement at Nuremberg", a moving film about the Nazi war crime trials. Imagine it was rewritten so that the judges are presented as conflicted and incompetent, the case presented that Goring, Speer , Ribbentrop and other architects of the war could not be tried because there was no laws against it at the time. Also that the Allies were really responsible because they were imperial powers and anyway, they knew Germany was going to attack and could have stopped them. And did you hear about Dresden? The Allies bombed a city. So it was ALL the Allies responsibility and choice. Not Germany's fault at all. Then you read the credits and the movie was made by Nazis.

Kind of like all the shit Russia is saying now to justify attacking Ukraine and committing genocide.

Kind of like the shit every single one of these genocidaire presidents say at the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. "You have no right to try me, I do not recognise you. You are the criminals, not me. Also, not guilty. "

That's what watching "Tokyo Trial " on Netflix is like. Imagine my shock when I read the credits and the series was partly made by the Japanese government. ( no shock at all, just a little that they have the gall to say it out loud when they have been told a hundred times ) Shame on them.

If it were in my purview I would make formal diplomatic complaints.

Don't watch Tokyo Trial, it's the worst propaganda.

here's some clips from Judgement at Nuremberg

gotta say.. I was a lot more nervous with the dentist hacking away on my teeth with a scraper and his drill when there's no anaesthesia involved. Glad to not have a numb face for the rest of the day though!

In other news, just had a young guy in hi vis gear knocking on the door doing the 'we're doing some painting for your neighbours, noticed you needed some work done, would you like a quote' spiel.
Suuuuure, mate.

Melbourne CBD is utterly forgettable and a bit of a toilet at times, so it's no wonder people don't want to go back.

It's much more enjoyable to enjoy that nice cup of coffee or whatever in the suburbs.

I said what I said.

How do you feel about posts like this on c/Melbourne?

I'm noticing it's getting downvoted, it might be a bit too on the negative side of topics for the community, I'm also worried about removing it because of the topic as well, would like to hear some input.
