Mr Krabappel @krabappel.bsky.social · 13hThere is a psychiatric condition called oniomania, where you get addicted to the rush from a new purchase. It is driven by isolation and low self-esteem. I've often wondered if being gaslit by technology makes it worse. 1153

Mr Krabappel @krabappel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Last week someone in Korumburra had their car stolen and joy-ridden to Lang Lang. Despite the fact that the police caught and charged the offenders, there were posts on local forums about needing to be tougher on crime. Gina's Sturmbahnfuhrer has definitely picked her whistle targets well (sadly). 000

Mr Krabappel @krabappel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think the general issue of The Greens being made up of both old school Laborites and Green-Left adherents is worth discussing and pretty pivotal to interpreting David's words.

Mr Krabappel @krabappel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The theme of "if you two do the deed, you're getting married" was drilled into the DNA of so many 80s sitcoms. I knew that it was not always true, but it took until I was about 20 to realise it was utter crap. I've met plenty of people who never figured it out. Hope the next date is better. 110

It may mean more than you thinkSure, it's short for "national conference".
