My 4 year old is gen alpha. So I’m kind of glad adults on the internet don’t relate to that generation yet

Scrape. Spot clean by hand with soap. Machine wash. Hang in full sun for the minimum of 1 day. Extra points for rotating to face the sun as it moves.

And now I know what rizz is short for! Never knew.

I’m cool, no one can tell me otherwise.

I don’t know what they call it where you are from but here light rail is trams. Similar to San Francisco cable cars.

But the vaccines literally have zero to do with the US administration. Why would the president inform your medical decision making process? With the exception of J&J (which I know nothing of), they were developed and manufactured outside the US.

In Australia people also have issues. They are calling it vaccine fatigue here, where people aren’t getting their boosters and also aren’t getting their flu shots. People are getting tired of vaccines. I admit I’m behind on mine. I had my 4th shot last April, and you are meant to have a booster every 6 months. So far I’ve had 2x Pfizer, 1x Novavax/Nuvaxovid and 1x Moderna. I’ve also had covid 3 times. Every shot (except Novavax surprisingly) makes me have minimum 2 days off in bed/on the couch with symptoms and I find myself putting it off.

She was last seen properly in public on Christmas Day 2023. She had surgery early January. Info is all vague. There’s been 2 recent paparazzi pics of her recently, grainy through car windows).

That’s the background, not sure about the death idea the other commenter said. Maybe there’s a conspiracy that she’s dead?

My kid goes to a lot of birthday parties. I could save a lot of time here.

Solar system warming

Is that what chemtrails is? Something the government sprays over citizens to control us?

So THAT’S how we came up with number 1 and number 2

If I go to sleep now I’m going to wake up to a toy being shoved in my face and “play with me mummy” or a screaming kid from a nightmare. If I stay up an extra hour I get to be by myself for an extra hour.

Either way I’ll be tired.

Not much choice there, I’ll stay up and be more sleep deprived.

Pets to your kid I can understand. My cats are on the way out (one passed this year and the other is 16 and not in good health).

My kid is already asking for a dog. I know if I gift a dog it’s actually on me to look after it. Gifting to someone who isn’t a minor or outside your household though? That’s a shitty move

“I would cancel, but my mum likes to watch it and I set it up on her smart tv” -so many people I know

We added some small wood pieces under the front feet to do this. Solved a lot of marriage problems with this one simple trick that actually works. Number 2 will shock you.

Is that the origin of devils advocate?

That is super interesting if so

Can’t shop at Cotton On anymore.

Would you like to buy the single use plastic water to provide safe drinking water to people? No. How about make a donation to starving kids? No. How about buying these socks to support shelter for some country? No. Are you a member? No. Would you like to be a member? No.

Would you… “NO. JUST LET ME PAY FOR MY T SHIRT”

Would you like a plastic bag for your shopping?

Refuse: No thanks.

Reduce: I’ll take just 1 bag and stuff it all in there, don’t need 2.

Repurpose: it’s ok because I’ll use this bag as a bin liner.

I hate them because I have a toddler and making sure they don’t run off, move things from the scale, grab candy from the very child friendly height displays, all while trying to scan and bag my groceries.

At staff checkouts we load on conveyor belt together. I can keep control of my child. And then we leave.

I hate self serve. Staffed checkouts are much more relaxed for me. I did like self serve better before kids though.

They effectively have been abolished at mine. 30+ self serve, occasionally they have someone, but don’t start until a hour after opening time, it’s only 1 person. They don’t cover breaks, so just close staffed check out then. Sometimes they are doing other jobs and you have to stand at the checkout for them to come over and open it up for you.

They are definitely discouraging it and make you feel like you are being difficult if you want to use them.
