So I went to see friends last night, I always look forward to seeing the wife of the couple, she’s becoming a good friend and I hope I am a friend to her. The guy is a childhood friend of my husband.
And the guys grew up being the smartest person at school and they are both pretty successful in their sci or math respective fields.
here’s the thing, they both treat me like an idiot, or should I say, they both expend quite a bit of energy to keep me in my place
and I really don’t give a shit,
but I noticed the guy treats his wife just as poorly as he treats me, worse since it’s all the time. At first I thought it was just explaining a difficult scientific subject but it’s everything she does.
She’s a highly educated and experienced lawyer who is fluent in 3 languages. She’s no idiot. And even if she was you don’t talk to people like that.
It just saddens me.
and doesn’t surprise me, rude men tend to hang with other rude men
all I can do is continue be a friend with her
You’re witnessing a dick swinging competition.
But I have no dick???
He’s swinging his dick in the presence of another male
These can be purchased in entertaining colours and improbable sizes from certain establishments should you wish to windmill somebody in the eye.
Those guys sound very unpleasant to hang around with.
I hate people who look down on others and do that, it’s yucky and demeaning.
They probably bask in their own superiority and have known nothing else through their life and thus treat everyone else like that.
Not much you can do about it since one of them are married to your friend but it’s yucky.
Insecurity can be repugnant.
I agree and insecurity is crazy. This guy has a phd in sciences. What would it take to make him feel secure.
I suppose I can answer that. Controlling and keeping intelligent women in their place.
So why doesn’t he marry uneducated women? I suppose because it makes him feel smart to control a smart woman and he wouldn’t feel smart to control an uneducated woman.
Always, always there’s an undercurrent of physical intimidation in these cases. 😡 It’s subtle tho.
Men like that are the worst form of coward. I’ve encountered them before, and they quickly receed when challenged by another man.
Disgusting.
hey all 😀
I saw a friend’s possum that she feeds , it was so cuuute
The ringies live in a tree next to my house and when I’m feeling down I like to sit outside and watch them scurry around. Sometimes they jump onto the roof and patter about right above me
I’ve never fed them, but I do occasionally feed the maggies that also live in that tree, so I think the possums heard I’m a friendly
Bleh. After yesterday’s nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.
Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope it’s only an minor strain and not anything serious.
It’s a day of keeping warm and resting today.
Apparently Spotify has launched a new cheaper tier. It’s billed annually and not monthly. Works out to be the same price as it was before they upped the price again last month. $155 a year ($12.99 a month). The only difference besides the annual billing is that it doesn’t include audiobooks
I don’t care for the audiobook thing, especially considering the audiobooks aren’t unlimited. So if I can scrounge up the annual fee, I might switch
My brain is mush. Reading in bed and early night I think.
I wish, I have so much to do. Gotta finish cleaning up the cat bathroom , got a few loads of washing to fold and put away, pies to make for dinners and lunches and I want to start on my sewing.
1 doz pies made. That’s good for a few days and then I can freeze some too
Mickey says “zzzzz”
I see now why people avoid going into programming 😔
Is it the programming aspect?
Absolutely lol. Or more so the amount of knowledge you need to memorize.
You don’t need to memorize everything. It’s enough to know what’s possible. Once you know one language really well, all you really need to do is learn the way another language does the same thing. Google is your friend.
Still punching out chillies late june!
had to clear a metric fucktonne of oxalis (again) to find them heh.
I guess the great thing about these things being near the coast is there’s little frost.
That is a lot of chilies 🔥
Woah, nice haul. Sauce or powder?
My scotch bonnet looks like it might be permanently done after gifting me a bounty in April (it did survive falling down and having half of it torn off), might be the last year for the insanely hot Thai chilli too. But I have a tomato plant that refuses to die and still is attempting to put out flowers like what the hell bro. You can rest now
Sauce or powder
Ooh was thinking powder maybe. Would love to do something like hot honey or chilli jam though.
My rando tomato plant is also doing the same thing as yours! heh. So late to the party. I don’t have the heart to pull it out.
Envy!
That’s a rather interesting error… Task failed successfully, I guess.
All’s well that ends well
Moon pretty. And very bright. And shining through my window onto my face.

Went to Missy Higgins at the Palais last night, probably one of the best gigs I’ve been to in the last 10 years. 13 year old me and 33 year old me were stoked.
