Seeing all these pings makes me think that Cynic is just a bot that we @ and it auto posts the latest press release

Bought a Miele charcoal filter AA50 from Retravision in Perth online (Iām in Central Qld) with shipping it was the cheapest at $37 compared to all the others at $39 .
So it arrives I open it up and theyāve sent the AA30. I rang and they said sorry and have sent out the correct one (this one is coming from Bunbury not Perth)
Shouldnāt it have a cross or line through the kangaroo?
I think they need a rebrand to Ostria or Osterreich. Just like Czechia and Turkiye in recent years.

Where has common courtesy gone these days? Especially regards to queuing.
This morning for example, I was queuing at Bakers Delight to purchase some rolls and an older lady pushed in and was served first. This hasnāt been the first time that it has happened and surely wonāt be the last with others pushing in to be served first.
Iām sorry but no, line up like the rest of us and wait for your turn. Donāt get me wrong, yes we all get served eventually but donāt push in regardless of age, gender, race etc. Imagine if I did that? The out cry.
Itās probably a first world problem but please be respectful of others.

It seems to be a uniquely boomer and above habit that they are entitled to service (or anything really).

I fought for this country in battles that means I can do whatever I want and if you say otherwise you deserve a whipping on your arse - Many boomers (not all) presumably.
More like āmy father fought battlesā then they start calling everyone else entitled.
Got a diagnosis which was not unexpected but also a little unexpected the other day and one which I have a feeling Iām not going to be alone with around this place which is why Iām quite comfortable saying this.
The last few months at the push of some friends of mine Iāve been undergoing the testing for an Adult ADHD diagnosis. On Wednesday morning I finally had my psych appointment and got the diagnosis and a bonus one I wasnāt expecting but very much not surprised at. Heās put me as a high functioning ASD and said while he canāt give that as an official diagnosis because of the way it works and because itās quite expensive to get the testing done and thereās no treatment or anything for that heās very certain about it.
Iāve spent much of the last 48 hours reading all sorts of different things and itās so good the only way I can describe it is like walking into a massive library and then having someone take you exactly to the right section to find what you need.
I posted about it on my FB the other night and had several people welcome me to the āclubā and several messages and it was really great to have and made me so proud that the level of awareness and understanding in the last 10 - 20 years has changed so much that itās now recognised as a difference and not as a disability. While thereās definitely some traits Iād love to not have it is still what makes me be me and Iāve survived the past 40 years like this so looking forward to the new discoveries that come into the future.

Iāve accepted that Iām ādifferentā a long time ago ,
The only thing that was frustrating was that no one ,like my former workmates,didnāt understand me and I didnāt want to go into great detail about my ādisabilityā,or why I acted like I did ,lost my temper or burst into tears too often was sad most days and never laughed 
I would only say Iām very shy ,I find it hard to make friends and mix with people,I have social phobia and anxiety,and prefer to be on my own.

Not alone mate. After 3.5 years of enduring mental torture despite being able to appear fine to everyone else, I spoke to a Doctor last Wednesday.
Iāve been referred to a Psychiatrist for possible bipolar/schizophrenic assessment.
The very act of speaking to someone was so relieving, a weight off my shoulders. Iāve now told family and friends. My struggles unfortunately make up so much of my personality, itās good to not live a lie anymore and have people accept that I am a bit broken.
Not saying things are all ok now, but it certainly feels less isolating. Best of luck with your journey!

and to you too! Hope the journey becomes smoother but the trying to appear fine for everyone else certainly resonates. That was one of the things forcing me to seek advice - it was getting harder and harder to hide without having a meltdown which in public at nearly 40 years of age is quite embarrassing.

Fortunately for me I was aware of my problem when I was very young ,so I didnāt head into adulthood wondering why I was odd and different ,why I felt like I never fitted in ,firstly at school then later on at work.
Yes Iāve had plenty of meltdowns in my time also I wish I wasnāt the way I am sometimes ,if I wasnt ,ie:if I was ānormalā I would have had better jobs that paid well ,instead of only been able to work in manufacturing .I still canāt believe I lasted as long in the workforce as I did.

Guess who is going to see TayTay on Saturday Night.
Finally were able to purchase four tickets at 2pm today and even though itās restricted view tickets, itās to say that Iāve seen her live.
I like her so I can justify paying $65 each but donāt like her that much to justify the few hundred-thousand for non restricted viewing.

Gosh. We tried to get tickets in the original release but honestly with all the hype and the crowds that are going to be there, Iām kinda glad Iām not going. Might rent the tour and watch at home 
. enjoy though.
