[01:00:03] one can dream the day the Miraheze main page looks something like https://neocities.org/ [05:37:29] feeling absolutely homicidal 😊 [05:37:56] bus is only an hour and a half late because the driver somehow locked himself out for 1.5 hours [05:44:39] You can join me [05:45:01] who pissed in your cereal [05:45:18] and whose cereal are we pissing in [05:45:27] I DM [08:41:06] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1513462867855278100/image.jpg?ex=6a27d1a2&is=6a268022&hm=0a60d3c9d23f13877b2a7a896c2faa8c268e5d8ec28fdfac8e45658923d13957& [08:41:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1513462868257800202/image.jpg?ex=6a27d1a2&is=6a268022&hm=1123a5965c47a5d96fa3fafa0126215227aac79489ad4956d9c823f0a8986e37& [09:13:17] @Discord Moderators [12:42:09] do they not have any other buses??? [12:42:28] nah [12:42:31] like it's bad enough over here when a bus not showing up means you need to wait 45 minutes for the next one [12:42:56] I once walked to town because it was faster than waiting for the next bus lmao [12:43:10] took an hour [13:03:49] miraheze [13:09:11] Yall have busses? [13:09:34] haha car hell [13:09:46] 😔 [13:10:10] Last few companies I applied at had a strict “no bus or uber” requirement and it made me mad [13:10:14] for all the uk's faults, at least it's not america [13:12:11] As long as you people have decent public transit and walkable -ish cities it’s de facto a better place tbh [13:25:32] ew [13:25:51] my girlfriend and i are trying to look for a studio to move in together, and there's a lot of "one room per person" bs [13:28:40] What would even be the point of a policy like that? [13:28:49] fuck if we know [13:29:27] It seems counterintuitive to me, because you're putting more strain on your own car parks. [13:31:33] I have no idea either! [13:32:36] That’s stupid but I guess it has something to do with potential resell value that multiple people in one room could harm. [13:32:38] In my experience it's because they think employees who show up late will complain that it was the uber or bus that made them late [13:33:18] And if it's a store that relies upon being open at a certain time (coffee shop, bakery) they'll lose revenue if the employee who's supposed to open is late [13:33:21] hhhhhhhhhhh [13:33:45] we're two women who just want to save money by doing the u-haul strat 😔 [13:33:59] (and like, move out from our shitty situations) [13:34:22] It’s just really annoying because I have a vision disability that keeps me from driving and it’s like well fuck what do I even do [13:34:33] heh, my girlfriend relates [13:34:41] Oh no I am totally in agreement, it's a stupid policy [13:34:50] and gestures vaguely at the money needed [13:35:11] The one room policy is stupid too [13:35:22] Abolish all bosses and landlords [13:35:26] +1 [13:36:06] we're trying to make housing more affordable by pooling both our savings, and instead l*ndlords are stopping us from doing that 😔 [13:37:07] It's also probably a way to extract more rent - if you can rent two rooms instead of one, why not? Evil landlord voice more money for me [13:37:20] This all sucks 😭 [13:37:24] hhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhh [13:37:41] I hate exclusionary and evil policies [13:37:41] what's worse is that we'd sleep in each other's bed anyway [13:37:49] tell me about it [13:37:55] my landlord is doing illegal shit [13:38:02] Jail [13:38:11] 💀 [13:38:12] Oh I get what you mean now Claire [13:38:18] I forgot what a studio was [13:38:28] [1/4] timeline: [13:38:28] [2/4] * ~2026-04-29 (maybe add a couple days): tells me that visitors are only allowed on the weekends, for at most 2h, in the day [13:38:28] [3/4] * 2026-05-21: wants 1d advance notice of overnight visitors, charging $30/night if i tell her and $50/night if not [13:38:29] [4/4] * 2026-05-31: bans visitors entirely, asks for a photograph of my girlfriend's id, and threatens me with 24h eviction next time i bring someone over (i have a covert recording of this fwiw) [13:39:06] That sounds really shady [13:39:16] [1/6] * there are rats, cockroaches, and stray cats in the kitchen (because someone keeps leaving the backdoor open) [13:39:16] [2/6] * a roommate smokes [13:39:17] [3/6] * somebody lives in a shed [13:39:17] [4/6] * i saw a spider in the kitchen cupboard, and it smells [13:39:17] [5/6] * shower is always cold [13:39:18] [6/6] * there's no contract or lease agreement [13:39:59] [1/3] americans don't have the money to sue [13:39:59] [2/3] whereas i don't have the time to deal with this shit [13:40:00] [3/3] ow [13:41:31] [1/4] For rats and roaches, I recommend keeping all drains covered/closed - I live in an old building from the 50s and it has been the best way to cut down on pests [13:41:31] [2/4] Spiders are attracted to dust so I try to vacuum often [13:41:31] [3/4] But none of this helps the no lease situation [13:41:31] [4/4] It sounds like he's purposefully trying to get you to move by creating a hostile environment so he doesn't have to do eviction proceesings [13:42:07] somebody keeps leaving the backdoor open, hence all the animals [13:42:08] If i was a shitty landlord that's what I'd do [13:42:11] Ugh [13:42:19] i can't talk to her because she doesn't speak english [13:42:36] (and she's the one who lives in a shed (no, i'm not exaggerating, there's a bed in there)) [13:43:12] there's no heating either [13:43:29] This is going to sound stupid but can you draw a little diagram and show it to her or post it near the door [13:43:44] wdym? [13:43:49] ah [13:43:58] i mean, i can prolly get by w gtranslate [13:44:02] but ughhhhhhhhhh [13:44:07] landlord also does it as well [13:44:33] [1/2] Like a picture of the door open with a 🚫 over it [13:44:34] [2/2] And a picure of it closed with a ✅ next to it [13:44:47] i just cbf at this poiny [13:44:54] like, i'm too frustrated to do anything [13:45:03] Yeah I get you [13:45:20] (and like, i have three assignments, one exam, one union meeting, and a gp appt in three weeks) [13:45:37] and a pathology test, but that's a quickie tbh [13:46:02] Lots to focus on 😤😤 [13:46:16] landlord pmo so much she made me join a union [13:46:37] and my psychiatriat appt is in 2.5mo [13:46:48] hopefully i can get some controlled drugs then [13:47:54] [1/3] Yes! For sure [13:47:55] [2/3] I hoard my last supply because my doc moved away and my state's laws say I have to see her in person once a year to keep getting them but I have no car 🙄 [13:47:55] [3/3] So anyone getting meds is a win [13:48:07] ugh, yeah [13:48:22] my alternative is to get them from somepony else, but that's unsustainable and double illegal [13:48:37] can't wait to pay $300 for the appt [13:49:15] [1/2] God exactly [13:49:16] [2/2] The fact that I even have insurance but half of my care has to take place in the privat sector is. Insane [13:49:36] i have insurance, but almost all of my care is private :coolcry: [13:49:51] :moonch: [13:49:56] legit, the only things public are pathology, and uni gp Rxing prep [13:50:15] being transgender means having to pay $60/appt for your hrt [13:51:07] i'm surprised that my psych appt only was three months away when i booked it [13:51:22] when my girlfriend went with him, it took her like 9mo [13:52:30] [1/4] 😭😭😭 UGH YEAH [13:52:30] [2/4] I take hormones for non trans reasons and like why the heck are they so expensive [13:52:31] [3/4] And I know back in the day that they USED to be covered by insurance for "sex drive" reasons. Give them BACK [13:52:31] [4/4] Yeah 3 months isn't bad for access, where I work they try to do under 6 weeks for most specialties but 9 months is wild [13:52:39] (and the gp has a track record of below bare minimum, so i'm not transferring more of my care to him) [13:52:54] hhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh [13:53:04] i'm lucky because i'm in australia [13:53:37] Nice! I loved Sydney when I visited [13:53:39] $22.99/mo subscription for E [13:53:52] Oh wow that's nice 👀 [13:54:21] $7.70 if concession, but i can't get it for, uh, _reasons_ [13:54:40] Ahhhh I c I c [13:55:04] progesterone is $28/2mo out of pocket, and $78/2mo total [13:55:14] (i have now confused all 1 australian citizens in the chat) [13:55:26] It’s like fucking $250 a month where I live [13:55:35] something something grey market [13:55:46] my girlfriend wants to try injections, but $$$ [13:55:52] I do have to remember this is AUD so I'm converting it in my head [13:55:55] (the one (1) aussie homebrewer is gone as well) [13:55:56] I’m hoping after I get my nursing job I can get good insurance on this [13:56:58] I paid ... Mmm. Close to $800 for a six-ish month topical supply of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone [13:57:01] at least i don't have to factor in cypro into my costs [13:57:13] oh dear no [13:57:19] E gel or patches? [13:58:43] my girlfriend pays $7.70/21 days for E gel (she has concession \o/ (yeah, she burns her supply so fast that it doesn't even count as a month 😭)) [13:59:33] [1/3] Cream/gel [13:59:33] [2/3] They come from a... whaddya callem when the dispensary mixes them up special [13:59:34] [3/3] My practitioner is very like, science minded, and she often bounces around the formularies (? That is not the word) to find the ones to make them to her exact specifications [13:59:48] She's also really pretty 👉👈 [13:59:50] (compounding pharmacist) [13:59:56] Yes! Thank u [14:00:08] Could not think of the word [14:00:15] [1/3] i know my stuff [14:00:15] [2/3] ...because i'm forced to [14:00:15] [3/3] .....god, i wish i didn't need to [14:00:16] [1/3] i know my stuff [14:00:16] [2/3] ...because i'm forced to [14:00:16] [3/3] .....god, i wish i didn't need to [14:00:25] anyway, i assume vaginal application since cream? [14:02:10] [1/2] I was doing that for a while but eventually she recommended doing it in rotations on any thin-skin area since I take all 3 at once and progesterone can cause dryness, which she wanted to avoid [14:02:10] [2/2] So now I rotate between tops of my feet, backs of my knees, and inner elbows [14:02:57] HEHE SPEAKING OF I JUST GOT A SHIPPING NOTIF 😈 yippee [14:04:37] I kind of wish that these - over here - would go the way of the GLP-1s, in that our insurance juuust began covering them for weight loss reasons, and so you can take the rx to like a cvs and get them for cheap [14:07:29] also, i helped a friend realised that he could get more free money from the government, twice [14:08:53] huh okay [14:10:18] Yeah I think since it's not technically for transition reasons she's having me apply it in different ways but I have an appt with her soon so we'll see 😤 [14:10:32] Good! This is the proper way to use govt services [14:10:40] i mean, interesting, but i literally cannot comment [14:10:53] this is outside my expertise :p [14:11:41] my girlfriend's meds all cost like $70/mo 😭 [14:12:13] ...and i'm at $62/mo [14:12:27] didn't expect my monthly subscription fees to be so expensive [14:12:59] i could drop prep, but ehh nah [14:13:59] if only i could do on-demand prep 🙄 [14:15:35] [1/3] I work in medical and it's all outside of my expertise ugh, my one saving grace is my mom's a doc and I can be like "is this fr?" and she'll say yes or no 😂 [14:15:36] [2/3] I hate medicine and I hate how much it costs 😭 It should be FREE!!! God [14:15:36] [3/3] Keep the prep!! That one I know is important 💃 [14:15:48] On-demand is how i take my adderall lol [14:16:43] technically p4 is also optional for me, but i want boobies [14:16:56] i wish i could have funny lil drugs without doing crime... [14:21:27] i'm like the expert on transfem hrt in my friend group 😭 [14:21:44] my girlfriend is measuring her E levels wrong (mid-cycle instead of trough) [14:22:32] but if they don't make you pay then who's gonna pay for it? rupert murdoch? [14:22:52] the government [14:23:55] alas, i'm w private insurance despite being in australia because gdp go brrrrr [14:24:17] just dont get caught [14:24:20] oh, and my insurance is reducing benefits [14:24:24] it's also unsustainable [14:24:34] damn 😔 [14:25:11] i feel like thats a bit counterproductive for insurance [14:25:25] i alr paid $3k upfront for 3y [14:25:54] [1/4] > When you visit a GP clinic, some GPs may “bulk bill” for a consultation – that is, they will not charge patients an out-of-pocket fee for that consultation. Currently, to encourage GPs to bulk bill for eligible services, we pay a “bulk billing incentive” directly to those GPs, if they claim for it. This incentive is on top of the standard amount for a G [14:25:54] [2/4] P consultation. For [our] members, it is at our discretion whether to allow GPs to claim the bulk billing incentive for eligible services. [14:25:55] [3/4] > [14:25:55] [4/4] > From 4 August 2026, GPs will no longer be able to claim the bulk billing incentive from ahm for any services they provide to [our] members. Clinics can still bill [us] directly for eligible GP services as normal, and we will continue to pay. [14:26:11] doesn't affect me too much since my hrt gp isn't under the bulk billing incentive [14:26:17] but my uni gp is, so idk what'd happen [14:26:53] the more i hear about australia it gets worse [14:26:58] oh, i did a redact fail [14:26:59] oh well [14:27:14] don't worry, the myki inspectors are only racist towards international students [14:27:56] at least trans rights are p fucking good here [14:28:03] i can change my sex legally, for free! [14:28:12] here too up in the great white north [14:28:32] (well, ik somepony else who's doing that, and the vic bdm is being a fucking pita and won't accept his docs) [14:29:43] like just because "fuck you"? [14:30:06] they accepted his identity docs, but won't accept his proof of living in vic for 1y docs [14:30:15] he gave, like, every item on the list [14:30:30] is there any other reason why there'd be administrative barriers for trans people [14:31:06] dw, the admin bullshit he's facing is because he was born overseas [14:31:12] fuck ur right [14:31:29] not because he's trans [14:31:37]
