Hmm still acting up.
We really need more days off in genera, and to space them out better.
Sounds hectic , hope you survived it all!
That would be nice, I think it got to 38 here today in Melb and meant to be around mid 40’s tomorrow.
This was a depressing read, but it raises some interesting questions. How much of this supposed lurch towards hate is media distortion.
If the Invasion Day celebration in Sydney was massive compared to the M4A one, are the people really what’s changed or is the media trying to manipulate us into thinking this is the new norm despite what our eyes can see?
American suburbia.

1·9 days agoThanks for the detailed list! How can I find the owners corp and annual fee, do I have to ask the agent or is there a site?
Main place I’m looking at is in West Footscray, and I’ve been living around here for 10 years now. Happy with the locale and it’s close to P/T and I can walk to work 😊

16·11 days agoSo you’re in favour of the cultural genocide of China? Or is re-education through labor just a fun weekend activity that people volunteer to do since Mao?

Because I’m still working out some stuff with the database, it pulled from a few instances to ensure it captured as many known communities but when compared against my instances local communities it shows as a loss because no one here has subbed to them.
Hopefully when I do the next run, this should resolve itself as it’ll be comparing itself to this latest scan.
I only restarted this project recently because I was annoyed the other bot which started being active again isn’t capturing PieFed growth. I’m not exactly intending this to be ‘public’ yet.
Reminds me of something I read where someone taught someone something, transitioned, and later had that same person mansplain it back to them.

I’ve received your report claiming @Deceptichum@quokk.au was ‘Harassment & stalking’ you and have found zero evidence of them downvoting any posts of yours outside of this thread in the last 2 pages.
I have found ample evidence of sexism and racism originating from yourself however, and it is for that reason i will be banning you from our instance.






















So is that why my favourite sci-fi characters are Captain Janeway, Samantha Carter, and Ripley? Hmm even Buffy.
Okay I’ve certainly got a thing with strong women, especially when wearing tank tops now that I think about it.
