- Comment on Australians Overwhelmingly In Support Of Gun Law Reform 4 days ago:
Yeah… Every measure to make houses more affordable has just been, we’ll give young home buyers more money. Which only increases house prices by whatever amount they decide on. Oh and how could I forget that it’s actually the fault of immigrants because Australia has never been able to affordably house an immigrant population.
- Comment on It took years to come up with a plan to cut road deaths, and just 11 days to kill it 5 days ago:
People don’t want to drive arbitrarily slower. Build roads that are uncomfortable to drive fast on. Counterintuitively making thin roads, without large runoffs can make driving safer because people feel more in danger and thus slow down.

- Comment on Chinese companies are largest shareholders in two Australian mines producing minerals vital for Beijing's hypersonic missiles, helping China to access key resources 1 month ago:
There’s no reason to be militarily afraid of China even with them having a more powerful military than us. Geopolitically a war between us wouldn’t benefit either and any such war would be entirely unwinnable for whoever initiates.
Escalations between our countries with regards to naval exercises are worrying, however the Australian government could if they wanted to diplomatically end any live fire exercise close to Australia by Chinese warships. All they would have to do is promise to stop sailing warships through the South China sea and the Taiwan strait under the pretext that China would stop its exercises near Australia too. The Australian government isn’t making that decision because it believes its interests in South East Asia are more important than live fire testing off the coast. Probably because they can leverage that fear amongst the gullible and cowardly to garner support for military spending and draw attention away from movements insisting on real change and building a more equal Australia.

True but I still want to know if older people actually want expensive housing.
- Comment on Chinese companies are largest shareholders in two Australian mines producing minerals vital for Beijing's hypersonic missiles, helping China to access key resources 1 month ago:
Yeah? I’m still way more concerned with how the profits of these mining operations are distributed to Australians.
- Comment on Chinese companies are largest shareholders in two Australian mines producing minerals vital for Beijing's hypersonic missiles, helping China to access key resources 1 month ago:
I am way more concerned with how the profits from these mines are distributed to Australians as opposed to the strategic consequences of selling these resources to China.
- Comment on What you need to know about why house prices aren't coming down 1 month ago:
I’m not old but do old people actually want expensive housing? All my friends (zoomers) just want houses to be cheaper. I literally could not care less if that would theoretically make me less wealthy. I just want to afford things

- Comment on Mosquito Sprites 4 months ago:
Would have been a broader study on acoustic based methods of reducing mosquito bites probably with the goal of preventing the spread of malaria. In this broader study they probably tried a whole bunch of sounds/tones with varying levels of success. They might have tried this particular song but more likely they just found that any level of rhythmic sound would reduce mosquito activity in the area. A clever journalist would then extrapolate the study into an attention grabbing headline to get views on their article. From that the “meme” spreads across social media.
-pulled straight out my ass, go find the actual study if you really care.

Hahahaha. It’s just a date mate, why not go for it?
Its more typical to be introduced to partners through social media or friends than from family where I live but all sorts of cultures do it in all sorts of ways. You set your own boundaries if you feel like your dad is overstepping there are plenty of ways to go about it. Parents are naturally concerned for their kids and the world we live in pushes young people to stay at home longer and push back starting a family. That can be very concerning for parents you grew up without such socioeconomic pressures.
Typically the way I go about things with my parents (and all people in general) is I don’t mention things I don’t want them involved with.
