That can work! Just stuff like Candy Crush. Sometimes I switch all the sound off, put some electronic music on and I can get in this zone where I have dream flashbacks. It’s like my brain changes frequency. It’s sort of a long-term project though.Quote:

My reticence was not unfounded.
Driving back along the freeway is psychotic. If you aren’t doing 100kph you inevitably have some huge ute/truck thing right up your arse. My car isn’t small but it’s considered a “ladies’ 4WD” ie. small compared to these big hunks of metal. It’s also fairly old and doesn’t change from 2nd to 3rd gear properly, so I annoy people by not taking off fast enough.
This experience is pure torture for me. I can drive pretty well and I quite enjoy it sometimes, like when I’m driving at night or through the hills. But the atmosphere on the road at peak hour is just horrible. All these people with big, new cars, desperate to get from A to B (work to home) is no way to live. Most of those cars are under finance too (Australia has the second highest household debt in the world).

They play Mahjong wrong though! I learnt the traditional Mahjong. Do you know FB used to have really good games? Like they had this Word Challenge and Geo Challenge. Then gradually the games got more and more boring until King Games took over completely with Candy Crush etc. There are other companies but there’s so little money in those games now noone bothers much. King has one called AlphaBetty Saga which is quite good but I’m up to level 400 or something and I get too annoyed. My dad is up to some crazy level like 1500 :rolleyes:Quote:

We're a fossil-fueled police state run by a Born Again Christian. It all comes back to the fossil himself, Rupert Murdoch I think. Did you see that his son had a go at him for being a climate change denier? The old bastard said he isn't a *denier*, he's a *skeptic* hahah.Quote:

That's an interesting signature. Did you make that up yourself?
Last night's hilarity.. This guy (some radio host?) had a fit about the NZ PM going on holiday overseas. The other people on the show were like "well her country wasn't on fire" and he went on about how she should just stay in her country. It was totally irrational and in the end he sort of admitted he was just in a bad mood.
But see in the article how it says Twitter "unleashed fury"? I just find these things funny. Sometimes I have to get off there because people start getting too PC and my opinions would be inappropriate. People take things too seriously.

Does anyone like Merkel?............
she is a traitor to German people, she betrayed them, Everything is about power she replaced german with African people to have votes, JT in Canada learned it and had done the same..........eh
are you really from Ghana? A lot of history , very interesting political situation too. :)
I think fires are still burning. I don’t know about the air, I’m hibernating. I feel justified now I have proof of living in the most screwed-over country in the world. Not only have they screwed us, they’ve turned it into a police state. I really don’t want to live here anymore. NZ is doing alright I think.. But as if I’ve got any money to do anything. I feel like I’m on home detention compared to what my life used to be like. Oh well it could be worse.. I could be various other people ;)
I have to admit that I never thought someone from Ghana could have the same opinion about people as mine. This is a nice surprise, it makes me happyQuote:

Freezing because I’ve had the heating off. Weather app says 16C. We’re real pussies when it comes to cold weather.
There’s a fire on an island near here. You can see on the map where the fire is. I live where the sign says French Island, but on the other side of the peninsula..
Attachment 1926
Its cold here too, I love it when it's cold out but hate it when I'm trying to smoke. But there is something nice about smoking/drinking some coffee outside while it is nice and cool. I try to enjoy it as much as I can before the heat comes.
jeez I sleep at 17 C :)
I think 16 was a bit overestimated. Today is 28C and windy, then cold and rainy tonight apparently. Melbourne weather is famous for being changeable but not like this. The fun usually starts in Feb, as in the high 30s-40C. That’s the scary thing about the fires - we haven’t even started the usual bushfire time. Stay tuned for more Australia Burns! :eek:Quote:

You guys were really meant for each other. Two hard-ass bullies walking the playground. Now it is me that spills his cuppa whilst rolling on the floor laughing .... it's not at your propositions I laugh at, but at the irony you display in comparison to your attempts to welcome new anxiety members; then to read this. No wonder the forum is quiet. Shame on you guys.

Note: I did not vote for him personally. I think they changed PMs (again) not long after and I was under my rock. When I heard we had a Pentecostal PM I crawled back under it.
Boris Johnson looks retarded as well though. And Trump.. He’s just this orange mutant. The 3 of them could be related I reckon. How did this happen?? I want to move to New Zealand. She’s a good PM apparently.

Gypsy unfortunately everywhere is the same shit,
Pretty much, but Australia has gone downhill so fast. We’re used to one of the highest standards of living in the world and now it’s just crap.Quote:

Bob Hawke then Paul Keating were our Prime Ministers. They weren’t perfect but compared to who we’ve got now.. :(
Melbourne’s population is growing at the same rate as cities in China because of their mass immigration policy. I’ve got nothing against the Chinese or Indians but we just haven’t got the infrastructure. Our public transport system is pathetic compared to cities like New York and London but that’s how big Melb is headed. Healthcare is now terrible, no room in hospitals.. Universities used to be free for Aust citizens.. Wages haven’t gone up much in years but cost of living has gone through the roof.. The environment is fucked.. And so on. Oh and the police state - we’ve always been a Nanny State with tons of rules, but they’ve ramped it up to a scary level. “Fossil-Fuelled Police State” it’s been described as.
/rant heeeeee
I’ve seen your scruffy look and it’s not freakish like Boris. He’s like a cartoon character. You know he went to Eton right? That should put you off him :)Quote:

I also read a lot (philosophy, poetry, religion eg. Alan Watts on Zen hehe, Terence McKenna on psychedelics, Astrology/Mythology).
When I have no money and nothing to do I sleep :) Sleeping’s great. I’m pretty good at entertaining myself at home.. I do go out most days/nights, just to get food usually. Or to mum’s :rolleyes:
