        If I post from more than one account do I get multiples?

        It is very generous of you. If I win I pledge to keep it all for myself and to cackle madly every time I see my bank balance.

    I had an awful sleep with a nightmare that had no right being as vivid as it was.

    night horses

    I was part of a group of young women who had been drugged and woken up in a facility where we were told nothing about the outside world except that we were no longer women, later we found out that the supreme leader’s young son had decided he wanted to be a woman and all men should heed his example, and modify their genitals if they wished, but as a result any biological women had to be locked up and made to accept that men were real women and they were sexless drones (however, we had to keep our genitals intact as it later turned out that we were being kept for breeding purposes but the child was entirely the mens) near the end I was part of a group that was allowed outside to do strictly limited work and we bravely lobbed a brick at a politician’s window before getting ready to escape. But just as I got back in the escape car I heard a man’s voice in the back seat saying “we got you” and a hand reached out to touch my shoulder; I screamed and bolted awake drenched in sweat and couldn’t go back to sleep for an hour.

      What an odd nightmare.

      My nightmare last night was of being raided by terrorists. Out gunned. Lots of blood. I am not sure if I survived. My mates fell. Some in the backrooms had better chances.

      That sounds extremely dramatic and disturbing.

      My nightmare last night involved the alarm clock going off way too early and having to go to work. I am hoping to wake up in bed some time soon.

      This is a wild ride! Not that I want you to have nightmare, but I dig how detailed it is because this is how I dream.

      I hope you feel better!

        I haven’t had such detailed dreams in a while but I used to have these kind of cinematic ones all the time as a kid and young adult (and then a spate last year because of some meds I was on).

        Pretty awesome when they’re good dreams, but the nightmares are awful - the sleep disruption sucks and my body is in a heightened state of alert for the rest of the day.

    One good thing about being old is you have learnt nearly all the tricks .

    mumbling is a good one, they talk so low and indistinctly they make you struggle to hear. It’s a game. I just don’t care. If they want to talk they can talk clearly.

    92 years ago groucho marx sang a song about Dutton and the lnp

    I don’t know what they have to say It makes no difference anyway Whatever it is, I’m against it No matter what it is or who commenced it I’m against it

    Your proposition may be good But let’s have one thing understood: Whatever it is, I’m against it And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it I’m against it

    I’m opposed to it On general principles, I’m opposed to it

    He’s opposed to it In fact, indeed, he’s opposed to it

    Haven’t been feeling well the past few hours since making my way home (word vomited a comment that got lost in the ether, probably for the better). Collapsed when I came home and slept for a couple hours, having felt, and still feeling, nauseous + dizzy + lethargic + sad and bleary. I hope to hell it isn’t the flu. I really don’t need this now!

    Dragged myself to the kitchen, made a big pot of arroz verde, took the bins out, about to collapse on couch with dinner and a movie and plenty of water and a couple nurofen. Begone, ill humours. May I wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and healed. I think the shittiest part of living alone is when you fall sick…

    It’s really not clear why Dutton is going off hard on these tax cuts. Most people will be better off than they otherwise would have been if it had of gone ahead according to the previous design. He’s the only one who seems mad.

      The wrong people (in his opinions) are benefitting.

      He doesn’t care about the average Australian and just wants to make noise for the sake of making noise.

        Yes but the average Australian makes up most of the voting based so it seems bizarre he would make himself deliberately unpopular.

        It’s always weird seeing politicians living in bubbles and both sides do it. For example labour drank the cool aid when they kept pushing the voice when it was obviously going to fail hard.

          The average Australian won’t read past the headline.

          People have short attention spans and rely on minimal information.

          The voice was an absolute bungle by Labor. But if that’s the worst thing they’ve done it pales in comparison with the decade of LNP fuckery.

          Sadly it will be in the media and people will focus on it.

            “Always back self interest”. If people see a juicy tax cut they won’t say no to it just because Dutton is crying.

        The fact that he’s the best the LNP has to offer as far as leadership speaks volumes of the party.

        The fact that he’s actually a contender for PM speaks volumes of how brainwashed this country is.

        He’s trying to start a culture war to divert attention from the class war we should be having.

          Agree re his leadership. I’m somewhat politically neutral in that there are ideas that I find sensible from both the labour and liberal party. But from the liberal party they tend to be small L liberal values which the party doesn’t seem to align with anymore?

        Ok but even as a political move it doesn’t make sense because no one is going to line up to agree with him, including many who might ordinarily vote liberal.

          While it doesn’t make sense and still hasn’t for a decade they keep going on about soul searching and looking at the party values and reevaluating it when they lose and yet they haven’t changed a thing about how they campaign or present to the average people.

          All they do is smear campaigns and talk bad of Labor and that’s it.

          I don’t understand why they keep following this path.

            Because it easy and it works.

            Look at Trump in the US.

            You don’t need a platform you just have to be against things (including best interests of the voters).

            The last 30 years of gutting education is paying dividends for populist candidates

        Judging by how close to my front door for wet it just be windy out there too.

        Wish it was a little cooler though.

        Looks like this is going to last for quite awhile from what I see.

      Just remember that what you look up is probably logged. That’s standard practice everywhere.

      If you look someone up, and they cross reference that to a call you took, then that’s fine. But if not, you might get a ‘Please explain’.

    I decided to see what the forecast in the BOM app looked like for Townsville with that cyclone coming up. Haha holy shit they have a whole separate icon and rainfall ranges that would make you think the app had glitched. They also have five active weather warnings - two cyclone watch warnings, marine wind, flood watch and a current heatwave.

    Couldn’t pay me to live full time in nth Qld, I tell you what. These poor sods have taken a real beating this summer

      My parents, brother and his family all live in Townsville, so I’m up there at least once a year myself.

      The locals are actually thinking this will be a fairly ‘baby’ cyclone that they should ride out fairly easily (fingers crossed). That said, the panic buying has still been nuts. First-timers expecting they’ll need a year’s supply of bottled water, when you can just fill buckets and the bathtub ahead of time and have all you need for most purposes.

      Most people are fairly prepared. My dad is in full-time care due to advanced dementia, and a lot of the staff there have actually moved in with the residents to ensure they’ve got proper care should everything go south.

    Anti depressent must be working. Had a dream last night mum and I caught up for a coffee and woke up feeling ok about it.

    For context, my mother passed away 25 years ago and I lost all the family I had within a few months of her passing away.

    Of course I wish I could have met her in real life now, but that I wasn’t despondent when I woke up is a good sign I think.

    One of my colleagues tried to organize a meeting tomorrow. Simple mistake yes?

    Well the other party that was invited were reps from an Aboriginal organisation that is pretty cold towards us (Vic Gov) at the best of times.

    Our director is giving him some feedback on ‘reading the room’ right now.
