these are horrible people

 


so without mentioning the electricity company by name; let's just say that the actions of this energy provider came across as definitely un-Australian. the actions were like god's private mystery, and I am not religious. here we go.

1 month ago I received 3 emails in one day saying that one of my credit cards was about to expire. this was from my former energy provider, who had not been with for over a year. June 2022 to be precise. after many calls to their call centre, I was told to 'rest assured' that the emails were a scam and ignore them. there were no alternate addresses in the emails and no links to their site; only a link to their privacy policy which went to their site, without going to anything to do with my credit cards. 25 days ago, after also dealing with the energy ombudsman, I was given an assurance that I would not recieve another email from them again. 9 days ago I get another email from them and get this; containing a survey asking about loving to hear my thoughts interacting with the company.

so now it has come to the point where I and my former energy provider will receive a formal letter asking them to remove my email address from their system.

so please, after all this, I dearly hope that they take in the scope of this simple, yet direct, request.

please, fuck off.

desperate to get my head around the disparate

 

some of these things have a disparate quality within one descriptior; others are just a 'collective' overview of the disparate nature of now.

maybe let's start off with the definition of disparate

essentially different in kind; not able to be compared:"they inhabit disparate worlds of thought"

the other day, and I have no idea why, I passed out in the street. when I woke up, there were people standing over me, asking if I needed anything, like an ambulance or a glass of water. all I could think of was the dead bird on the way to the post office before I passed out. It was obvious the creature had been hit by a car, but then the overriding question; of all the wild birds that are alive in the world, and there must be millions, where do they go to die? Is there some order meaning that when a certain amount are born, there is some enforced attrition and for a certain population of birds it's sorry, but it's time to go? there is an obvious order to us beyond the service, whether it be burial or cremation and then in the form of the cemetery. there are no bird cemeteries or even for that matter, formal places for wild animals as a whole.

just today and without going into detail I was seeking a legal remedy in a civil matter. aside from the interruptions which destroy my train of conversation and moreover, thought, when the solicitor who was advising me spoke, there was only one thing going through my mind - his metaphors were crap. Not so much that they were not reflective of the common person or even the average person, as subjective as those descriptors may be, but they had this overall feel of examples from his world, with the only overall descriptor I could proffer as 'planet law', full of it's expertise and experience but no understanding of 'now' . then his comparison of email messages to physical junk mail in the letter box came across as somewhat naieve. like I was reporting something in it's infancy, even with organisations like an ombudsman to monitor certain behaviour. 

TikTok. maybe part of me thinks whoever is reading this may say to themselves, no need to take this any further - we understand, but I will elaborate. simply put, there is no overall meter to this medium, be it quality or quantity, or moreover, the quality of that quantity. joining bullet points or topic headings together do not even begin to qualify as conspiracy theories; they are the ghost of a theory. I may even agree with what is being said but more times I am left thinking go on, explain. many times I am also left with thinking whoa, wait a minute! putting it mildly, that association was a little far reaching for my taste, but there are people who take these associations on as fact.

there is a lot of discussion about gender terminology and gender roles, here's a dual suggestion. teaching children about gender theory using a fictional character in the form a gender unicorn? screw it, teach away and when they have a full understanding, explain it to me. plus the depiction of the gender unicorn looks like a standing hippopotamus with a horn on it's head, with no genatalia, in any form.

Aldi. no problems with the prices - bring it on. I have very simple tastes but it seems that everything I like or want is out of stock.

for more than one episode, the news has broadcast the phenomenon of the demand for Taylor Swift tickets as relevant or 'newsworthy'. please. she's a revlon advertisement for numbskulls. say what you want. the music is awful. if there was a stabbing or even a gun related fatality in the line for tickets, now that would be news.

I could add more but that's enough for now, perhaps explain it all to me. makes me think about aliens from outer space, travelling all that way only to be confronted by a fraction of all this. all I can think of is a map of the solar system and a note for earth. avoid - exhausting.
