How about killing all the nonwhites on the continent? That would literally solve the problem.

Gee, the govt didn't give a shit about loneliness when they kept us on lockdown during the fake pandemic.

Hey dulci, I'm hooked on the nature is amazing account on X, even though they'll probably use the platform to lock us up. Do you know how to download or transfer videos off there?

I see Stompfaggot already answered - I use this link he posted -

https://twittervideodownloader.com/

After you get the video, download the video to your device, then upload to Cat Box (or another image hosting site). Voila.

There's also other downloader videos Tiktok downloader, Instagram downloader etc (If you have accounts for those sites). I only use twitter though - there's plenty of animal/nature, oddities, interesting stuff etc.

I hope you're not flirting with dulcima! "dulci" sounds a little overfamiliar to me!

You're making me feel sorry for myself as I remember Lockdown but I don't mind because I'm appallingly self-indulgent. Canberra's lockdown lasted 8 weeks. I lasted 6 of those weeks before I cracked:

My young nephews and niece are still showing the effects of our extended lockdown. It is not funny - it has done untold damage to young people (and not so young, as many adults are still suffering the aftereffects.)

So for the govt to profess a concern as to whether we're lonely or our mental health is an outrage. Those fucking bastards can shove their concern up their arse.

They would lock us down again in a heartbeat.

Pardon for my intemperate language, but I am still unforgiving. Dan Andrews and his lackeys all need to be eaten by goannas. Slowly.

KYS = no more loneliness

For once you've said something intelligent.

STFU

I hope in this New Year we can resolve the differences that bedevilled us in 2024 and move forward in a spirit of co-operation and shared purpose based on mutual respect and goodwill.

Fucking bullshit

I take it that the old flame meet up didn't work out Queeri, enquiring minds want to know!.

Are you a lonely old faggot again?.

I have had a major win in that a mate from a long time ago (35 years) and I seem to have rekindled the friendship. Early days yet. Had coffee weekly for the past three weeks but that's only because he's on holidays and has a shack nearby. When he goes back to work and the Big Smoke our meet-ups will be very irregular I would imagine. Which is a bugger as I don't want to be a lonely old c..t.

50:50. You be the judge of her last email below (she's travelling overseas at the moment so I'm not going to bother her). I've just planted the seed in her brain and one day in the depths of winter when she's bored ... but it's the last roll of the dice with her and if she doesn't want a meet-up (and I'm not optimistic) then that's it for good:

"Happy new year

Hope you have a good day.

Here up north been very busy with gardening, relatives popping etc. Also very hot.

Hope all well on your side.

Till later

Regards"

She's not interested Queeri, it is what it is, move on and suck it up.

Alas I think you're right.

The replies on this thread are a great example of how useless conservatives are. Nothing positive, no legitimate ways to help.

Volunteer work or finding out about local clubs that might interest you are great. Most clubs welcome anyone even with zero experience.

Hey everyone, it's that guy again, what a wealth of interesting comments you post sal, you're back out of the corner again, best go back and continue your date with the dunce cap.

Thanks for proving my point.

Ymw, now back to the corner, Tard.
