- Comment on Punters 'unlikely' to see millions in ticket sales refunded as long-running festival shutters 1 week ago:
Isn’t the normal complaint that bringing the artists is the most expensive part. No artists, where the money.
- Comment on Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? 2 weeks ago:
You’re right. Discussion and healing is how we fix these things not banning them.
- Comment on Fatbikes are wreaking havoc in Sydney's wealthy beach suburbs 2 weeks ago:
The Lycra idiots “roll roll roll” through traffic lights and have killed pedestrians and the recieved just a fine.
I have a full respect for people who commute on a bike and I try make the road as safe as i can for them and other users. The over entitled ass hats in lycra who think they own the road are a blight on cycling in general. Not just bikes has an interesting video regarding the state of cycling in the USA because of the wishes of MAMILs.

How are these any worse than the MAMILs?

- Comment on Why some Australians are spending $35,000 a year on food delivery apps 3 weeks ago:
$35k is about what our household of 6 spends on groceries. Maybe we’re old fashioned.
- Comment on Australian health insurance premiums just had their biggest hike in a decade. Is it time to scrap private health cover? 4 weeks ago:
- I’m sure many of the roles would move to the public system if there was a mass exodus.
- Most people get private insurance because it’s useful and not for the tax dodge so they won’t cancel if the tax incentive is removed. /s
- Comment on Teenage girl wearing jersey with Palestinian flag refused entry to Sydney A-League game 2 months ago:
You are correct but maybe I was too subtle. I was proposing most religions are cults.
- Comment on Teenage girl wearing jersey with Palestinian flag refused entry to Sydney A-League game 2 months ago:
Israel is a cult? A lot of people would agree with you regarding monotheistic religions.
- Comment on Melbourne goes from among the most to least expensive capital cities 2 months ago:
Shiny new iPhone i think he wrote 😉 It’s something I’ve noticed too. People buy the shiny phones, then the head phones, then the screen, the laptop, the glasses, the cloth; spending thousands of dollars in the process. Multiply that each year, as many do, and there is no savings. Nothing growing at all in their accounts. That growth long term can put a deposit on an apartment or a outer suburb house.
Smart kids get jobs in the field that give them free phones and sometimes cars. Bonus points if its a unionised position.
- Comment on Australian soldier fighting for Ukraine 'killed week before wedding' 2 months ago:
The title is misleading. He was not fighting for the Australian Defense Force or Australia. He is an Australian citizen who went to Ukraine to fight. No Australian soldier was killed.

we had electric water heater then too. Amazing how many of my mates bussed to my place after school just for a hot shower.

Furry muff. I’ll message molly with something about 80s tram tickets or something.
- Comment on As of December 10th, You need to be sixteen to use Aussie.Zone 3 months ago:
It’s going to come to effort. Do I create a lemmy.whatever account or do I verify? Verification isn’t guaranteed and making my own instance is above dad effort territory. Maybe someone will begin a kiwi hosted aussie.zone 😁😁 I appreciate all the effort you guys have gone too though.

I think they are probably hacking in to patch security threats on some of their most profitable assets.
Why hurt something you already control?

Thanks for keeping AZ running and keeping me entertained between bluey episodes.
Out of interest, when outage happened i noticed some sites don’t see AZ any more.

100% agree.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 5 months ago:
I agree but if you can’t move your home closer then you need to be willing to travel further for savings.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 5 months ago:
Blaming corporations for cashing in on convenience is just silly. Most colesworth stores have a local butcher, poultry and grocer next to them. Don’t expect for profit businesses to help you. Walk a few extra steps.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 5 months ago:
Move closer to a market if it’s too hard to stop past one on a weekend or open weekday.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 5 months ago:
Because it works
- Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for? 5 months ago:
Agreed they all DC’s are and will be a problem but agriculture has everything beat with water usage. Still doesn’t hurt to conserve drinking water by shorter showering. I’m not going to do it but I can’t fault people that do.
ABS usage study from decade ago. Old but shows my point.

- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 6 months ago:
Yeah it’s shit. Near my parents there is a bunch of old housing commission houses. 1 bedroom houses that are bigger than most 2 bedroom apartments. They need to build them with more space stacked up. So that all around in city train and tram stops and you get a lot of desirable supply
- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 6 months ago:
This is the problem. They should be mandated into the build. At least half the building is 3,4&5 bedroom apartments
