Be.in.it.Yeah.
Sidenote: I remember a PSA/campaign that had people flashing the 👌 gang sign at each other. I don’t think it was Do The Right Thing. I think it was about being a good person in your community like helping people carry their groceries home but I’ve never been able to find out what it was. Any chance you recall?

- Comment on Man in custody, four people injured in alleged stabbing incident at Sydney church 4 weeks ago:
Apparently they were trying to take out the kid. The cops just got in the way. I didn’t see anything in the article about attacking the hospital but if they did I imagine it’s for the same reason.
- Comment on Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House, judge finds on balance of probabilities 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know anything about the law, the first paragraphs says:
Bruce Lehrmann has lost his defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson, bringing to an end a sprawling legal saga which has gripped the nation.
Really? No more legal stuff? Lehrmann can’t take this further?

- Comment on It's gonna be so cool 1 month ago:
I think I get it now, it’s like the way Disney or whatever draw female counterparts. You take a cow and you go, ‘hmm, what can I add to make this a sexy female cow?’
Boom, eyebrows and so on. I think that’s why this cow looks so weird.

Yeah it’s meant to take a few days to clear up apparently. I wonder if it may take even longer. I think I’ll stop posting to any Lemmy.world comms.
- Comment on NSW planning changes to boost housing take effect next month but communities are divided 2 months ago:
I don’t doubt that residents are organising in their perceived best interests whether you or I agree with them or not. That’s not what I mean by manufactured. I think the framing of the debate as an us (renters, homeless) vs them (home owners) or urban sprawl vs higher density is entirely artificial. Regardless of it’s origin I think that nimby is corporate developer language that isn’t helpful.
It should go without saying that there is a real housing crisis. But it wasn’t the residents of Balmain or Glebe or any other residential community that created this crisis. It’s entirely on the banks, investors, developers, construction giants and their pro-developer mates on councils and in parliaments. But they seem to be getting off scot-free in all of this. Not only scot-free but they’re about to make another massive windfall off this rezoning.
And I don’t think that those interested in continuing to profit of this crisis have any motivation to end it. That’s what I mean when I say manufactured.
- Comment on NSW planning changes to boost housing take effect next month but communities are divided 2 months ago:
Wont all of these projects include carparks though? I live in a large block of flats in the Inner West and everyone of my neighbours still drives everywhere except for a few of us.
I find the whole nimby/yimby debate to be a manufactured distraction and the yimby side feels like an astro-turfing campaign.

Yeah, I’m familiar with social media metatags. It sucks that they have to play these games. Especially for news like this.
- Comment on Turnbull says Australians 'mugged by AUKUS reality' as US plans to halve submarine production 2 months ago:
The way media does headlines these days is awful. Like at no point was the headline of this article the one I read which is ‘Pentagon sparks fresh AUKUS doubts on anniversary of Australia’s nuclear-powered submarine plans’. I don’t mind the one that got auto-suggested but why do they insist on playing these games.
