Wow the mods were really working hard to make IAMA a special place. Hope the drop in quality becomes clear ..

I've finally succumbed to the reddit API changes.

Lemmy is still a bit strange to me, but I think I'm finally getting it to the point of being similar to what I was seeing on Reddit (albeit with much fewer users and therefore less content).

I'm glad to see the Melbourne daily thread be active here.

Seeing how few users there are on Lemmy also makes me feel like I want to be more active?! I was much more of a lurker on Reddit.

I feel like I'm 13 again trying to figure out reddit, lol.

Was able to do it once, can do it again...

I've found a few communities like those I followed on Reddit, but it's quite depressing how quiet they are. Hope more people make it over.

Got the sad news from my landlord that they're going to have to sell this house. They just bought it last year and have been lovely. They really like us as tenants so I know that it's not what they want to do.

Mortgage rate rises just mean they have to sell.

They given us a months notice.

But now onto the house search.

One of my friends started at my workplace. We work in an open office area and because of that I bought over ear earphones. It's generally accepted that when someone is wearing them they're trying to work.

My friend keeps coming over for a chat. Like not just a short one she fully sits down next to me.

I'm on a deadline so I think I'll just be straightforward and tell her that if my headphones are on I don't want a chat. Seems reasonable but I hate having these kinds of conversations...

Been feeling like I have a massive constant headache lately, it's a semi regular thing. Went to the pharmacist to renew my birth control and get some aspirin for my headaches. The pharmacist actually ran back up to me whilst I was paying to suggest that maybe I'm having a bad reaction to the birth control, it's a potential side effect. I'm so grateful to her quick thinking. Heading back to my GP next week.

I know the decline of Twitter has been coming, but with Elon rebranding it as X, and reddits collapse, I bet many people (including me) are just waiting for a viable other option to come along.

Threads I only had like one look at and doesn't appeal.

Lemmy is OK but the layout IS confusing. Without the DT I'd be checking Lemmy less ..

It's Father's Day! I work at an outdoor venue and we predict it'll be chockers...

Yes... for those who want to vote No.. look at who else is voting No. That should be enough to tell you which way to vote.

If we don't get the Voice through this referendum I doubt it would ever get through at least for a few decades in a second one. It's either enshrine A Voice this time or nothing. Referendums are hard.

As long as it passed the sniff test...

Slept so terribly last night. Woke up multiple times, couldn't get comfy. So strange! I went to sleep so comfy...

Work has me anxious. I hate my office but I need to stick it out whilst I look for a new job.

Today I went in and actually felt very faint... I'm a bit worried. Low level panic attack or something else? I took the afternoon off...

Nah the girl will love being and to go out and spend it. It's not really thoughtless, better than a gift the girl won't even like. She'll get excited about going out to buy something she actually does.

I do think the lipsync was a bit unhinged. I think Jimbo did rely on the comedy of the character a bit and wasn't really lipsynching. I also didn't particularly like Silky grabbing Jimbo and pretending to fuck her.

Might be time for kitty to get the butt shave of shame.

Thanks for the supportive comments everyone. 🥹 I actually gave the FREE Nurse -On-Call service a ring as well, just because I started getting a bit worried after reading some other potential symptoms I might be having. Regardless the nurse was so thorough and amazing, and I didn't have to leave my bed. It's a free service and saves a trip to the doc (I'll still go to change my birth control).

But anyway, +1 for free Nurse on Call.

$2,200 is pretty paltry... what those residents were put through was pretty awful . It was a tough time for all Melbournians I can't imagine what it was like to be essentially under guard in those towers. .

What an amazing game.

I'm not really much of a sport watcher. But I've found myself following the Matilda's this world cup - I think it's the fact we're hosting and they're a home team.

So tense! Helps that soccer is pretty easy for a newbie to follow.
