National Report Card 2025

More than 1 in 10 Australians are facing high to very high psychological distress. That's disturbing. Looking at any room with 10 people in it you will likely find someone who is in high to very high mental health distress.

Meanwhile, the Australian government "Dog with house on fire: Everything is fine" lets cut more money out of the NDIS.

Other Australians: You can find more than 2.5 people in a room of 10 even without a mental health condition that are dissatisfied with life.

2 in 10 people find mental health care unaffordable or inaccessible.

Meanwhile Australian government:

"Lets cut more money out of the participation of NDIS participants in the outdoor world."

"Why do people with disabilities need to see what "outdoors" looks like anyway?"

Meanwhile Labor can't say they did not accept One Nation's vote to make matters worse.

Has anyone dealt with Smart Electrical Clearance Outlet?

I'm looking for the matching drier for my washer except it's ab older 2024 model (although not discontinued) so the prices are a bit all over the place. Ironically in some cases I can get the bigger model for a cheaper price, but that's the thing, then it's not officially stackable the easy way.

I've seen that this company has low prices, but their reviews seem a bit off, so I was wondering has anyone dealt with them directly?

A porceline rooster jar whose feet don't go to the ground.

8 inches, probably porceline, probably half a pound, multi coloured. feet don't go to ground, multi-coloured. I found it at a thrift store, but haven't been ble to find another one like it of the same make through searching online. Just wondering what it is, and whether it has any real value, other than being milfly entertaining.

Never seen one exactly identical, although there are many from the mid century to early 21st century that are similiar.

Should I buy a 3D TV just to watch Terminator Blue in all it's glory

Or not? I mean if James Cameron is forcing us to put up with this shit for the 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos version, why shouldn't I subject myself to it in 3D? It had such a short theatrical run in Australia I never got to see it in the cinema.

I just have to put up with it every time I watch it in 4K Dolby Vision instead... without the 3D.

Things I wish were understood by the medical community: Migraine and headache are not interchangeable. A migraine isn't simply “a really bad headache.”

Thanks.

Also I feel like shit... nausea... vertigo... anxiety...

Has Dominoes become too expensive?

Even with deep discounts, it's very hard to justify two value pizzas, and a garlic bread for $20. On Tuesdays you used to be able to get premium pizzas for about that only a year or two ago.

I'm left thinking this whole thing for the quality of food has made Dominoes incredibly expensive for the low quality of food.

I hate auditory flashbacks.

So I basically live in the projects, my neighbor is off his meds again, he started a conflict in the entire block because he's rambling nonsense.

I try the sensible option of walking up stairs and asking him if he's OK.

What I get back, a stream of abuse.

I eventually yell at him to just shut up...

Now I'm the one with "just shut up" stuck in my head on loop about every 5 seconds.
