I’m an Australian, I’m probs fking with you, we can’t help it, I think. Probably something to do with all the hostile shit around us and adapting to it, or something. All meant in good spirits! If you think we’re laughing at you, think about the stupid shit we just did to get that laugh.

  • Idea is good, in principal. Can I just offer some thoughts to get things happening smoothly.

    Bullying, what type? I can only offer general overall advice without specifics. So I’ll offer some food for thought, What if that person is neurodivergent and doesn’t understand they’re bullying, or coming across too blunt. I would suggest, address the behaviour directly, succinctly and without judgement.

    Talk as if they’re an alien and don’t understand our culture, and you have belief once they understand they will step up. But say it as plainly, in the least amount of words possible. Don’t leave room to debate, just straight plain facts. This causes this. Please don’t.

    Ask how you can help them be more effective in positive engagement.

    On a personal note it’s always a good idea to listen to the messages your body is giving you, those emotions are a need your body has, it isn’t about anyone else, it’s about your lived experience and how comfortable you are in your environment. Times you haven’t felt safe can be a trigger for you in the future, and then bullies words hurt more. If you feel you have unhealed trauma or a low sense of self and self worth because the world in general has chewed you up, (which it does so often it’s almost a universal experience) find and build on yourself in those areas. It doesn’t minimise that the bullies are harmful, just utilise their efforts to find places you can up skill and heal, if they are being highlighted for you. They still suck. You just take what they give you and turn it into a tool to build on yourself and build yourself up. Be genuine, curious and open and deep dive on your feelings. Eventually, after studying what’s freely available out there and uplevelling your sense of self, you start to see all of the bullies behaviours are entirely about their own broken insides and damage. It’s really hard to be upset by words from someone you pity.

    Avoiding toxic environments is a better way to live. Finding ways to make that environment non toxic is a good life philosophy. Do your labour laws already have protections built in to protect you from psychological abusive type behaviours in the workplace?













  • I’m not sure if in Maths teachers imaginations, there’s a James bond of maths, out there, and to save the world he has to divide by pi. (in which case they’d pick someone who actually likes maths, anyway) Or, they imagined, either we all collectively or just one of us, has a save the world moment, and it involves solving some maths thing. I don’t think they were quite the heroes they imagined themselves. Or maybe they are and this is all out there, and we just don’t even hear of it.




  • Please let me be clear that I abhor this dipshit, entirely. I was just pondering, you know. Even the worst people have motives, and I find trying to find sanity, in anything he does, a hard task. He must have had some end game. He must have noticed he’s tanking Twitter. Continuing on and doubling down, seems purposeful. And he would want a way to rise out of the ashes ego unscathed. So I was trying to devise his exit plan. He has to have something (stupid af as it may well be) that he stands up and says ‘I did this on purpose, it actually proves I’m a genius’ because that’s his go to response to everything. I suppose I’m trying to predict his patterns of stupid. But that’s probably not possible for someone with a working brain, and or any sense of logic.


  • Everything he does. It’s just so stupid, it has to be purposeful. Like how he rigged the market with doge coin and bit coin, just openly making statements he knew would effect the market. I bet he bought up before saying those. And now tanking Twitter, it’s already dead, we may as well stop calling it by his ridiculous moniker. But I bet he’s bought up whatever he’s replacing Twitter with. I wouldn’t even put it past him to be in cahoots with zuck, and the feud is pretend. It’s all just too obvious. It reeks of I can do whatever i want, I’m above reproach.


  • Nah man, they’re not made up stories, can confirm. Australian. They defund the healthcare till it breaks. That’s where we are right now. We had ‘conservatives’ (not what we call them, but it’ll do) destroying the place for the last 10 years odd. Thier M.O. is, defund public infrastructure till it doesn’t work, then go ‘oh we had to sell it, it was broken, the private sector will fix it’ and simultaneously go ‘look at how good at money we are, we brought alll this cashola in from nowhere in particular’ and then their mates buy up public information for pennies, who then price essential things out of our reach. It’s fun times! Some of the last targets they were hitting were unemployment payments, people who worked, while receiving benefits, people who are disabled, hospitals and schools. So our hospitals are nearly entirely broken. But it’s been a shit show for a while, I had gallbladder attacks, sending me to the emergency room, once a month or more for two years, I was supposedly on the top of the waiting list for surgery. That was just what the wait for anything like that was like, they wouldn’t operate sooner, unless I went into septic shock and was literally moments from dying. Their words.
