Ayyy welcome to the clerb

~~i don't know about your experience with the OCP but it made me feel like i was constantly in the luteal phase. small doses of an SSRI during the luteal phase seemed to do the trick for me~~

Pills was long enough ago I can't totally trust my memory. Shots messed me up in ways I didn't realise properly until a few years off them. Surgical now, and on countdown to it not mattering anyway. But yeah, I can get explosively unreasonable.

Toys is a batshit insane movie but goddamn the soundtrack is a banger

Applying for a volunteer position and they need two referees that they'll contact and ask them to write a character reference. I'm kind of scared to ask my manager because she's busy and also a colleague because of the off-chance that they'll turn on me. But I should just ask.

Is the organisation also offering a background check on their own reliability and honesty?

I doubt it, I would look them up myself first, too many dodgy people out there taking advantage.

Lining up references is the worst. I hate asking, and yet I've frequently been a reference for others and I'm always happy to do it. Happy to help if you get stuck.

My poor little cat. She’s still not seeming well. I’m hoping the blood pressure meds kick in soon because I’m feeling so much worry

I’m so bad at most of these.

Woke up for my alarm for work this morning and fell back asleep. My mum called me 20 minutes before I was supposed to start, which was so lucky because I wouldn't have woken up.

Does anyone here wake up early everyday without an alarm?

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Yup. I set my alarm based on when I start work, with 6.20 being the earliest. I literally can't remember the last time it was my alarm that woke me

Yeah. My alarm is really a backup to make sure I don't sleep through, which is pretty rare for me.

Den of Thieves: Pantera

The sequel to Den of Thieves and this time, the big score is located in Europe.

The first Den of Thieves is quite entertaining and a great heist movie along the lines of Michael Mann’s “Heat”. I strongly suggest watching this prior to the sequel. I did not do that, and started regretting it during the viewing, as there are some references that eluded my memory.

O’ Shea Jackson and Gerard Butler take the leading roles. O’ Shea is completely forgettable performance while Gerard Butler has a great screen charisma but it’s often let down with terrible dialogue.

The plot is slightly confusing at times, nevertheless it moves along at a fairly good pace.

The truth is I’m not here for Oscar winning performance or cinematography or engaging dialogue, it’s about the score. The action.

The movie opens up with a really smooth jewelry caper with full combat gear, full comms, souped up Audis and surveillance overwatch. The thieves are going loud and it’s an intense thrust right into the action that gets you invested straight away.

The big heist in the third act is equally intense but it’s a quiet job and much more physically demanding. All the tropes were on display here. The cameras, motion detectors, safe cracking, all the gadgetry etc..a very engaging display of skill, discipline and physical prowess. (Kind of unbelievable at times though)

Not the best heist movie around but, definitely entertaining. Has a nice little double twist at the end. Not really rewatch worthy for me.

3/5 carats

Didn’t know a sequel had come out. Going to watch it tonight!

I’m considering a compost bin to deal with the endless dropped leaves and invasive lawn that come into my yard, being as I don’t want to get a green bin or a gardener. It might help with keeping things tidy.

But that requires me to buy an outdoor bin and a drill.
