I’ve never seen it. Was it any good?

Plain grey ball cap every time I step outdoors in anything less than smart casual. Slip slop slap and slide, kids.

Having bought 2 in my lifetime so far my approach has always been to say bugger all to the agent. I owe them nothing. If I have questions I ask, if they ask me questions I give them the most limited information possible, obviously being polite. I always kept my cards close to my chest until it was time to lift the auction paddle.

Say very little; it’s none of their business. Dress how you normally would.

Fuck

This was great, thanks for posting!

Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

I am turly sorry for your lots

Alllll their posts are like this. It’s exhausting.

As Above, So below is reasonably solid

There’s a bit of a Mary Sue issue but otherwise good.

The original Candyman.

Everything about it is excellent and holds up even now. The musical score is exceptional.

Don’t bother with the reboot. It has a message it’s trying to send, which I get, but they’ve done it to the detriment of the horror. Something could’ve been done with the premise but they fell short.

OG all the way.

In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).

Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.

I’m the same. Like I like plane food. Because, whatever man, someone brought me a little parcel of food to eat. I’m stoked.

I don’t have a broad Australian accent if that helps. Think Cate Blanchett or Margot Robbie, not Steve Irwin.

People usually assume I’m a bloke based on the way I write, but I’m just Australian.

Yeah they’re ridiculous. Half of this seems imagined or shower thoughts she’s had.

We had arkanoid on our first PC and none of my peers remember it. I know it was an arcade game first (and a derivative of pong/ space invaders) but I recall booting it in DOS.

We were one of the only families I know who had a PC though, back in ~1993

I’m no expert on the technology but God I love our battery powered lawn mower. Our lawn, front and back is mostly temporally embarrassed grass (weeds) but keeping it down is critical in Australian snake season. Plan is to get rid of most of it and do the native plants and minimal grass thing.

In the meantime, no fumes, no refueling, the dog isn’t scared of the noise, and it works a treat. The batteries and how to recycle them in the future is certainly something to worry about, but in the meantime it’s vastly superior to our old stinky, do a rotator cuff turning it on, 2 stroke option.
