recourse to 'common sense' is mostly shorthand for 'please don't ask me to think'

opposite for me, dishwasher ones don’t work well at all. gritty and don’t clean well.
the laundry ones are great.

establishment Dems surely the runaway winner

Trepanning For Gold @rubydoomsday.bsky.social · Mar 21

well done Footscray pups, the umpires fucked you.

to lose by only 1 goal with your best player out and the umps pulling hard for one side is extremely well done

i loathe Opening Round. as a concept, as a bellwether for how AFL House 'thinks'

but still preety preety glad to have #footy back in under 2hrs

(until i stick an LSD in there. TBC).

Dutton.

inane. for some jobs you need to be At The Thing.

mechanic needs their hoist, surgeons need a theatre &c

i could do my job from literally anywhere in the world w/ a laptop

there is zero advantage or increase in productivity from my commuting 10hrs a week

one size fits all = rekt
