Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
daily reminder that you cant plug a USB into the HDMI port. Follow for more bleeding edge of tech tips.
We’ll have none of that moralistic judgement and hetro-normative focus on penetration around here thanks. Love is love, and what happens between consenting plugs and ports is their business.
And why should pleasure only come from penetration anyway? I say we need to normalise tickling, fondling, blowing and licking (with mutual consent) as equally valid expressions of love and trust. I, for one, have witnessed the great emotional release involved in the ritual “right side up?” foreplay so often engaged with hetero USB-A intercourse.
I’m now thinking that all those apple chargers didn’t actually have loose wiring, they just enjoyed the extra jiggling.
When lubrication is not an option, one must adapt.
We need this. What’s a USB?
it’s the younger brother of USA.
I think it’s computer porn talk for nerds.
Especially when we talk about female and male ends.
Square Peg Round Hole gang checking in…you’re wrong
imma stick a VGA into HDMI port
Filthy
well you can, but the result is not good.
What happens?
nothing whatsoever
Ah thanks. I’m the sort of person that only plugs things in where they’re supposed to be plugged in and checks several times that it is indeed the correct place before I plug it in, and then checks a couple of times that I’ve plugged it in correctly. It wouldn’t occur to me to do it any other way. And I’m no fun at parties!
A usb plug can be made to fit a hdmi socket (hence the ‘well you can’ comment) but yeah, the pins don’t match up so you get nada. Possibly some damage to parts if you get gung ho about jamming it in there
😂
The place I’m staying at has Alexa whatever things all over the house. I have given in and used them for timers and alarm clocks so I can reduce use of my phone especially first thing in the morning. It helps that I have to actually use my voice if I want to silence the alarm. So of course I blearily told it to stop for 3 separate alarms this morning - 7, 7:15 and 7:30.
Eventually woke up at 8ish and asked it what the time was and it said "The time is 8:05 am. Happy Friday! 😇 "
Is it possible to ask Alexa to be more of a curmudgeonly bitch?
People that say ‘happy Friday’ should be given 50 lashes in the public square.
People that say ‘happy ****day’ for any other of the week, should be removed from society via catapult or trebuchet
looks like youve got a case of the fridays
I’ve got a case of beer in the fridge…same same

The contrary side of me is really tempted to update the bot to put a “happy ****day” message in the DT post 🤣
What is the appropriate punishment for using “FriYay!!”?
I can’t say, but it will involve a rubber hose
happy everyday
I hate you so much…
Oh well, that’s me drawn and quartered for my serial offending.
I’ll be there with you! I’m so annoyingly chirpy sometimes, even to myself.
Thank you for your sacrifice
We need more Bad Janet in our lives
I think the only exceptions are happy birthday/easter/mother’s day/father’s day. That’s it. People shouldn’t over complicate things.
Special occasions are fine. They’re special. Regular days aren’t and so shall they remain.
On my god, if only I could action out this punishment to people at work!
I literally bought an Amazon Echo after I saw this video a couple of years ago https://youtu.be/96BAgh0jmSE
It sits in a drawer now though sadly coz I’m a google home user.
That was fucking hilarious, thank you 😂 I guess I better start getting creative
There are so many things you can do it with! I should warn you though… all of the things you ask it get logged and the owner of the devices can see a list of what you’ve said to it in their Alexa app. I can’t remember if it actually saves the audio of you asking or not too.
realised this morning that I’d inadvertently gotten a bit of a Tig Notaro (Edit: think Army of the dead) haircut. Local lesbians in my area are very interested (got hit on three times between bunnings and the fresh fruit grocer)
I’m so fucking hungry. The dog is looking good. 2 hours to go until pizza and beer.
🌭
I was thinking more of a roast because he would fit in my largest baking dish with a few spuds and carrots. 🐶 🥔 🥔 🥕 🥕
Roasting takes so long though, by the time it was done you’d have already had the pizza.
Spatchcock style.

Temp tomorrow tops at 18. It’s July. This is not natural.
We have fucked our planet beyond repair. I’m sorry, but conservatism is not only wrong, it’s dangerous now, because soon climate change is going to kill tens, if not hundreds of millions of people.
billions
Next three days are 18°C. Love being here for the apocalypse. I had tipped Russia launching nukes (could still happen), but I’ll take climate change I guess lol
Agreed, also Moon pie. What a time to be alive.
Pardon my ignorance, is that considered high or low?
I would say that’s petty high for July. Usually it does get a little warmer in July but maybe between 13 - 15c. Our record high in July has been 21.
I am enjoying my second pub meal in one day. I highly recommend blowing off work, booking a random motel at the last minute and escaping to country Vic. Hi from Yackandandah.
It was a wet dog walk this morning. The night was warm too - I did not sleep well, and tossed and turned so much Mr Woof went to sleep in the lounge room. It makes me feel much better about being at work when I am not missing a nice day.
Hey, so it wasn’t just me feeling unnaturally warm. I woke up in sweat a couple times which is very unusual!
Yeah, it was wild. I walked home around midnight and the app said 14 degrees. I thought it was joking, but so many people were out.
Rejected again, I’m unemployable
Dejected again, unenjoyable
But I got fishnet stockings on, feeling neat
I’ll dance my bleeding heart out, undefeated
I’ll keep trying to be another wage-drone
In a capitalist landscape that wants me gone
I don’t care anymore, I know I am qualified
Don’t care about my failings being quantified
I’m ready to dance, I’m ready to go
Where I’ll end up, I do not know
But whereever it is, it’s where I’m meant to be
Tonight I’ll let loose, and pretend I am freeDay 2 of intermediate body shred challenge completed, plus tummy exercises. I got home from work last night, did 2 loads of washing, very begrudgingly cooked dinner, which was lovely, had exhausting argument with elder minipeeler about doing homework and basically collapsed into bed without doing my evening exercises 😔 Both minipeelers are home sick today. Made a breakfast juice with ginger, pear, spinach, apple celery and a small beetroot. I’d show you a picture but, you know, it’s a purple ploppy looking juice.
Bonus picture of dinner
Picture is of steak with mash, peas and broccoli, chargrilled zucchini and red Brussels sprouts cooked in a mushroom cream sauce, thereby negating any health benefits of said sprouts. I seem to cook better when I’m tired and pissed off.
You are a machine. Your family is lucky to have you. I hope some appreciation is conveyed
Aww thankyou 😀 They remember to thank me sometimes lol.
Ah good…
Wow, that’s something I haven’t seen in a long time. Steak. looks yum and being so early in the day seeing that, it’s made me hungry!
Well done on getting all that last night. I wouldn’t have been able to do that. Very Impressive.
Yuuumm. All my favs right there. I’m so glad everyone’s on the mushrooms. I fucking love 'em.
Agreed. My fave weekend breakfast involves fried mushrooms, spinach and red onion on Turkish toast or a fresh sourdough toast. Bonus egg, bacon and beetroot relish because I can’t resist going overboard on that stuff!
Oh my lordy. I just dribbled on myself.
That is the ultimate dinner 🤤
Thankyou! High praise indeed 😀
Oh my, so much tasty food in here today! Yummm!
Late edition dins:
Just sushi rice, rice vinegar, pinch of sugar, then cucumber and kewpie mixed with shit hot habanero sauce.
Next up are the springers!
My dinner tonight was home made pizza, like all Friday’s.
Didn’t take photos but t’was good.
Olives, artichoke, chilli, garlic and anchovies.
Oh yeah
Day off. Had a lovely breakfast, coffee, now under a blanket on the couch, pondering whether to start with some zelda, a book, or just head straight for a snooze.
Book, snooze about 20 pages in, wake up and play Zelda.
this is eerily accurate
I applied logic and reason. I assume there something playing in the background on TV or stereo perhaps?
Hmm the question is which Zelda?
All of them.
I have a strange urge to play Katamari games right now.
Do it. Katamari games are A+!!!
Have you played them before?
There’s something fascinating with trying to roll up as much as you can.
I’m at work alas so can’t play unless i’m on my break.
Yas I am a big fat gamer! I adore Katamari games, tho I tend to get into them around the Games Done Quick weeks where they speedrun it hahah
I’m a gamer as well! I’ve never played them before until they arrived on the Switch.
I can’t believe I’ve never played them through all my life.
the most recent one!
Cocktails are the best bc they are delicious and has the word ‘cock’ in it.
Well that’s another job I didn’t get… As much as I like working for the APS, I’m getting very sick of their drawn out recruitment process that seems to go no where for me no matter how much effort I put in. What sucks is I’m desperate to get out of my current job but I can’t just quit because I’ll lose all the clearances that come with being an APS employee, which make me ever so slightly more favourable when I do apply for jobs. This whole thing is definitely becoming a huge rut for me.
I’m in trouble again. This is the third night Bill Cat has no kangaroo with gravy
