Nothing makes me particularly angry, but I'd really like if my washing machine had an accurate sense of time. It's so far off sometimes I might as well just pretend there's no timer. 1 hr 10? Come back in 1 hr to find it's got 58 minutes to go. Which is sometimes 10 minutes but might actually be 58. Or 30. Or 70.

Dumb fucking thing. Doesn't even do multiple cycles in a row so it's not like the timer resets for the next bit.

I've refused to move my payment from password to biometrics purely because I'll spend more if I don't have to type out my 22 character password. A few times I've gone to buy something and seen the password field pop up and just like.. uhh cbf.

And then saved like $30.

i raw dog my face with 2 and 3 blades and it's perfectly fine. I just shave in the shower, tons of water anyway.

They make sand that isn't course and rough.

Arguably the finer stuff is even better at getting into everything.

I don't think I've ever had the word bitch be filtered for me, is that a .ml thing? Or maybe it'll filter in this comment.

First post on a new thread being this comment or the first comment on a post, like yours? If yours counts and mine doesn't you should've put a touch of markdown in your comment as more of a test.

Also, markdown is different in different places. The markdown Reddit uses, vs Lemmy, vs Discord are 3 different lots. Maybe the broken bits you see don't work on lemmy?

image looks like underscores either side so maybe that's the issue?

Edit: underscores are italics? Why are there two italics options lol

Lead also tastes quite good but I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm in Aus and Ben and jerries is not soft, unless it's the whipped ice cream which is super soft. The normal flavours bend my non-preffered spoons as much as golden north does.

I could get a mortgage in like 3 years if I felt like it (I really really don't, fuck interest).

They are pushing policies to fix it, as opposed to the liberal party who literally won't fix anything because they only make shit worse.

One party is trying to spend billions on housing, one isn't. One party is trying to get more cheaper electricity, one isn't. One party is increasing pay for the poorest in society, one isn't. One party wants to help the environment, one doesn't consider the environment to be an issue. One party is happy for LGBT people to exist, one isn't. One party is known for introducing major things that help Australians like Medicare, NDIS and super, one isn't. One party has managed a surplus in my adult life, one hasn't.

I'm not saying issues don't exist, I'm saying the party that is in power most of the time isn't fixing it, and the Labor party has a long history of being for workers and is actually trying to do something about it. its mostly competent and well meaning vs greedy and/or incompetent, and it's real clear with all the corruption and shady shit the coalition does which party is which.

My primary cost increase was I spent too much money on a car and it's not good on fuel and takes premium. That's more than every other expense going up combined and it's a very self inflicted problem.

Idk about you but most people have decades of mortgages, so a couple decades is normal.

I live rural so my prices on most things are different. No 700k average house price like in Adelaide. The electricity is the full house cost, we have solar but no battery because dropping all of my savings on a battery to save money on electricity that isn't costing a whole lot for us seems pretty wasteful. Seems like a thing for people with bigger electricity bills.

Almost 30, have seen throughout my life the liberal party doing consistent damage, and every time the Labor party shows up they pull us out of the shit and do a great job.

Currently I am the most economically comfortable I've ever been, including all parts of childhood. I haven't walked around a store doing math to figure out what I can actually afford in a couple years and I no longer have to think, well, if I run out of money I can live on oats for $30/w. Spent a lot of time pretty much exclusively eating oats. Not sure how well I'd go back to that given I spend that much in a day or 2 now on much nicer food.

Abbot started in 2013 and the debt doubled before COVID started. It's almost doubled again now but it went down for a year which is something the liberal party can't do, apparently.

They aren't making it harder, my pay has gone up over $1/h because of my award and being casual, I have more money than ever and am pretty confident that I'll be able to buy a house where I live without a big deal in a couple decades. My electricity hasn't changed a whole lot, it's still under 300 a quarter for the household and less during autumn/spring, the only thing that made it that high at all was getting AC installed.

Sorry but Labor is consistently a decent party.
