So for you you’re much more just on the vocal side? Or a mix of vocal and rhythm?

So Oceanlab is Above and Beyond with Justine Suissa (who is amazing). But yeah as a group sans-Justine they are also very much melodic and generally vocal trance.

Oh wow so many flashbacks on this one…

I’m a senior manager at a pretty big company.

That’s something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.

Can people please not be cunts? (I’m an Aussie…)

Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there’s leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let’s take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that’s something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don’t deserve shame, or ridicule.

Oh you wanna hear about my WAP? My WAP is in your face! Suck it up!

I hate to say it, but it feels like an affront because you don’t get ‘x’?

A big one for me is Oceanlab - Breaking Ties

Lots of history there with an ex… But it’s all valid too (if that makes sense)

I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.

Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.

It was a problem with early WD green drives IIRC. The power management was exceptionally aggressive and caused massive issues when put in to any RAID-like set up. You could override it though generally.

I manage a web dev team. We try to optimise as much as possible but then there’s all sorts of tracking that gets tacked on by personalisation teams, opti teams, things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter/X scripts inserted too… It’s pretty shit. And sometimes when things break it makes it super hard to debug too

I don’t know, this seems on the up and up!

/s just in case…

First two (as others have mentioned) can be symptoms of Anhedonia

Shit 2 weeks at work and I’m OK? It’s my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have

But I’m not doing great generally. I’m feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I’m flagging.

Adding to your list:

Sloe gin sour

Sloe gin fizz

There’s also Nationalispoliticus

This is a very lengthy examination of the primaries. It doesn’t really conclude anything except that the process in 2016 wasn’t as transparent as it usually was and it might be reasonable to think it might have been rigged.

I thought of it as a great band name…

To be honest I don’t follow any sports at all, was just curious about what was going on. But you’re right, speculation doesn’t help anyone.

Completely agree. I will admit Australians are terrible at casual racism then when someone gets (rightly) riled up the response is “it was just a joke!” is super common too, which is just doubly insulting.
