Every time I see these ridiculous solutions being proposed, I get so frustrated. My partner and I are trying to do the right thing, saving and not stealing from our future selves - but we're competing against these insane policies that do nothing but drive up the price even further.

We just met our original goal, but the cost of a home in our regional area has pretty much doubled since we moved back after giving up on Sydney a few years back now, so we're no further ahead.

I have taken up cross stitching and can spend an entire day just sitting and working on a one.

I want to watch ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES before I die (well the ones that interest me), but my hands get bored so usually I'll play Switch games but then I'm often not really paying a lot of attention to either thing.

With cross stitching, I can get focused if it's a difficult part or I've made a mistake, but mostly I can follow the plot of the show/film much better.

Plus I get a lovely physical "trophy" at the end, and have given a few as gifts.

Noooo I forgot she passed, now I'm sad.

She was a joy.

I'd actually love to wall mount but as a renter, not possible.

Currently living with elderly family and she also won't have a bar of a wall mount.

The creator is an awful person and likely to be a future family annihilator. He is truly terrifying.

I'm at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.

Lately, I've been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don't want to throw away the letter!

It's also helped me find the names of several books and films that have been rattling around in my mind, some for decades, which actually made me very happy because not remembering that sort of thing drives me a little mad.

I'm stuck on two books that it can't work out - both absolute trash pulp fiction, one that I stopped reading because it was so terrible and the other that was so bad but I actually wouldn't mind reading again.

Oh well, can't have it all.

My old manager once drew on my screen with his pen when pointing out something.

He would also leave his coffee cups on my desk including a nasty ring.

I was so glad when he left, and am even more glad to work from home where people can't draw on my damn monitor.

I miss those features so much - I was also one who had the Googlillusion shattered by the discontinuation of Inbox.

Me waiting for Inbox features to be incorporated into Gmail:

My hairdresser was disassociating due to PTSD and stuck her hand into the mower blade because it was gunked up and not moving. She forgot to turn it off and sliced her hand up, and can no longer do her job.

Should we ban mowers?

My uncle in law came off a motorbike and was sliced apart by a guardrail, and died.

Should we ban motorbikes? Guardrails? Both?

Some things come with risk but bring greater reward. We need to weigh risk vs reward, and in the balance, nuclear comes out much further ahead - as long as it built and maintained to a high standard. It's also much, much safer and less harmful than the current options like coal.

I feel good that eventually I will die, and I haven't left any children behind to suffer through what will come.

I actually get very sad when I think about the kids that my friends have. We've got a tough road ahead, and it's only getting tougher.

I still try not to make the problem worse and even improve things where possible, but it's hard not to feel defeated.

Subtext: now that we have the market share, it's our turn to exploit the users.

It's sick.
