And the woman?

Nah. It's a health thing, a hygiene thing, and a lack of social awareness. Nothing trivial about it

I say lol occasionally, only for things that are dumb funny. Equivalent of a snort I guess?

"Hey did you hear Steve bought a jet ski? Where does he think he's going to use it? The local pool?"

"Really? Lol. What a dumbarse"

Like that. If shit is actually funny I laugh like a human.

That's not a gift, that's a threat 😕

Did she purchase them with the intent of giving them to you or were they someone's hand me downs and she thought you'd want them?

Either is pretty barmy to be fair.

I'm the same but I find the atmosphere of a live game of pretty much any sport to be enjoyable. I just need a vague understanding of the rules, I pick a team to go for, and settle in.

I also like beer so that helps.

Good on you for turning it down. Or had they manifested the idea they had money but didn't?

Omg thank you this. The way it runs away with its hands in its pockets afterwards.

... Do you have footage of this?

I guess it helps you can't see their faces. The hands you can see are special.

I think we're the only middle aged couple with no kids on this street and adjacent ones. Every couple I've seen even remotely near our age when we walk our dog either has children or a pram.

Did try to make friends with some new neighbours a while back that were roughly our age. Very friendly first chat, they were both enthusiastic about greeting us - they approached us first.

The first thing they asked was whether we had children, when we said no they were visibly disappointed and seemed to lack interest in furthering the conversation.

2003 Canberra bushfires. My little city was made to burn.

2019 Black Summer bushfires - see: whole fucking country either on fire or enveloped in smoke. I owned a tonne of masks before Covid hit.

We've been lucky in the last few bushfires seasons since but it won't last.

They were huddled in groups, so clearly friends. Not just kids going to the same school.

Driving past a school the other day this is what I saw re the kids waiting for the bus/to be picked up

None of them were talking to each other. Just staring at their phones. Just seemed sad.

Went to the movies the other day. Two women in their 60s were regularly lighting up the row by reading text messages and their message tones kept going off throughout. When the movie ended and me and my friend were discussing what we thought of it, those two just sat silently playing with their phones.

I'm regularly almost side swiped driving by soccer mums my age (late 30s) looking at their phones rather than the road, with a bunch of kids in the back, all on their phones.

They're important devices and critical for the world we live in. But it's not healthy to be indifferent to the world around you while you stare at these rectangles, all the time.

It's not just one generation. The boomers are shocking. But we're letting down alpha.

.. Yes?

I think it's the sexual assaults and domestic violence that people are referencing.

You should ask him out.

Can we leave that shit on Reddit? It was tired there

Same? I'm really confused which ads they're taking about

Literally not. Not my cup of tea or demographic. I think I was a bit old for it when she hit the scene so to me it's just pop music of a slightly younger generation. But this guy is insufferable.
