Melbourne

I am very confused by this new platform but I managed to bumble my way here from reddit. Hi DT! I missed you.

I'm very much enjoying the DTs. I was just a lurker over at the old place and it feels lovely to be actively part of this community. Thanks guys! 😊😊😊😊

i was primarily a lurker and very rare contributor on the old DT but this place seems nice. hello! i thought i loved watching internet drama unfold but turns out not so much when it impacts the communities i frequent.

Stress leave letter achieved! Ya boy is laying low for a couple of weeks to gather his thoughts.

While I did say earlier it was good to see the DT once again on r/melbourne, I figured it might be best to make an account here on the Aussie Zone so I can read up on happenings over here as well. Hello, once again, !melbourne.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use the Reddit DT after seeing the content from who is left over there vs here. I kinda don't want most of them to come over, the vibe here is too good lol

Unpopular opinion, but it seems like the mods little protest is working. Most members are pissed about all the Florida posts, 90% of the DT is people whinging about it. I don't imagine anyone who stumbles across the sub now would want to stay

I just woke up
I'm lovin' these ditties
Fuck it's cold
Oh my poor titties.

Today is the day I ask my doctor for a cert for stress leave and I'm so nervous I feel ill. I really want to ask for a full two weeks, but I feel like that's a lot to ask for just off the cuff. It would be the perfect amount though and I would get to skip my night shift rotation which is desperately what I need.

I'm not supposed to drink coffee normally this month because it could stain my temporary veneers, so I've been drinking iced coffee with straws. Until right now. As I sit outside this Bourke Street cafe, headphones adorned, audiobook playing while I people watch; I have before me a large, perfectly hot Melbourne coffee. A beverage I have not put to my lips since the beginning of winter.

I'll only have these teeth for 7 more days. Stain be damned.

I just discovered Aussie.Zone has a pictures community. I'm going to share some of my favourite Aussie holiday snaps there. It would be nice to get a bunch of photos in there from all over Australia, expecially if they have a bit more local flavour rather than just the aussie landmarks. So I've started with some bats from the colony on the Yarra.

Years ago, I would have been raging against the injustice of this bs. I guess I’m no longer in my youth, cause right now I’m more than happy sitting this one out and just watching from the side lines. Growing up feels strange.

I may or may not have bought myself a sausage roll on the way home purely so I’d have something warm in my hands

I go to Coles because I love the joint. I love fucking searching for shit that should be there but it's not. So I have to make a right hand turn into the carpark and there's some wank coming out trying to make a right hand turn in to my street. He starts beeping. I wind down my window and yell "oi what are you doing mate. You've got a stop sign". His arms start screaming at me. I let the dickhead go because I'm polite and he puts his foot down and nearly takes out the car travelling straight. Urgh fuck me.

So apparently a sub has disappeared en route to the Titanic site.

I hate to say it, but…everyone on it is likely dead

You know you must be getting older when you're excited you stocked up on toothpaste that was on special at the chemist...(PSA: Oral B is only $2.49 at Richmond Traders Priceline today)

Hey DT, nice to see you all 🥰 I have no idea what I'm doing!!!!!

Briefly had a look at the Australian subreddit. My God, the racism over there is disgusting. It's been very visibily brigaded by the no-campaign, yet the mods do nothing.

Really, really glad I'm moving on from reddit, if only because I'm sick of seeing this shit.

Cannings lamb rosemary and honey sausages, mashed sweet potatoes, greens, and honey carrot....

Funny what a difference it makes when you have people at work that have similar common interests than you do. Not to shit on people who love reality TV, but hearing that kind of stuff day in, day out in the office is enough for me to put my headphones in and drown the noise out with whatever genre I want for the day.

Change the topic to videogames and sure enough 30 minutes goes by in a blink (to which I'm sure those who want to talk about reality TV are then chucking headphones in themselves haha).

Yo I’m gonna be honest, I’m sad about all this. Like my minds struggling to contain whatever this complex mixed up emotion is. Like I said in the dt before everything blew up, I’m not good at goodbyes. And part of me just feels like this is an end of some description, like nothings gonna be the same again. I don’t like change.

I know said yday that I was probably gonna just stay lurking but idk, I like the vibes here 😎

I'm on uni break atm but, for some reason, remembered today about the mandatory work placement/internship unit I have to do for my bachelor's. I probably won't be graduating before the first half of 2025, so I technically have until then to do it but still - suddenly stressed out lmao

Was frozen waddle and slept badly, gonna take it easy today

Dunno if it was little fella not going down till 1 am, all this drama at work or all this other drama, but I’m beat.

What a nice end to the day, seeing more familiar faces!

PSA: r/melbourne mod is removing the links we posted directing people here (and comments telling people about other replacement subs). We will have to direct message if we want to invite someone here.

I survived the walk, and as a bonus the 13.6 degrees of my lounge room now feels quite warm.

At Syd. airport and the plane is delayed to JK for 4hrs (so far).

In the lounge though so eating all their free croissants (not going to mention the liquor shelf)..

DAILY DISRUPTION THREAD: Day Shift

🤜⏰🤛bap!

Synchronised Severance Edition

Oh. Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t think I’ll be getting up today

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong when putting links in posts. Silly me was putting the words I wanted to appear outside the square brackets and creating a link with no words to click on.

So for any other people needing a super-basic linking walkthrough, you put the words you want to show in square brackets followed immediately by the link in normal brackets. [words](link)

u/Snazzy21 has re-appeared on old DT and is confused. I deleted my account on reddit - maybe someone could DM him as I can't now. Not regretting deleting account though.
