• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia’s new physical activity guidelines won’t shift the needle – here are 4 better ideas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Redirect road funds to walking and cycling

  Now with the fuel crisis is the perfect time to embrace cycling infrastructure. I mean 20 years ago was also the perfect time.

  From Canada to Mexico, Iran will be free?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seagoon’s not a Nazi or promoting Nazi shit. I’ve seen them posting here and on reddit for years now. Something has been taken out of context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'They're safe here': Australia offers entire Iranian women's football team asylum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad they’re being allowed to stay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government urged to let Iranian women's football team stay in Australia until safety is assured⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck yeah we should let them stay.

  That’s many tourist attractions all over the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'We've reached a breaking point': Is it time to tax older Australians more?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we start with tightening/closing the tax/finance loopholes being abused. Negative gearing, capiital gains tax, mineral resource rent tax. There’s plenty of stuff in the system we can clean up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fatbikes are wreaking havoc in Sydney's wealthy beach suburbs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fat bikes is just the wheel size. These are high powered e-moto bikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia's new $2,300 visa price increase and more key changes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Between this and the passport prices our new motto will be “Australia, don’t come, don’t leave”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold Coast draws line in the sand on Trump Tower proposal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t help but think they’re then going to draw a big S over that line in the sand making $ .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why some Australians are spending $35,000 a year on food delivery apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend asked how often I got delivery. “More thna 5, less than 10.” I answered. He was surprised to find out that was my total, ever. Probably just over ten these days, less than 15 for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public health advocates say more transparency needed in debate over illicit tobacco as industry links questioned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not the high, it’s the strength of the addiction. Nicotine is hard to kick. This has been known about since the English landed at what’s become Virginia in the USA. Tobacco has a long history of being used as an addictive trade good. There’s a great book by Iain Gately - La Diva Nicotina: The Story of How Tobacco Seduced the World. Which covers the history of tobacco.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian health insurance premiums just had their biggest hike in a decade. Is it time to scrap private health cover?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always been time to scrap private health cover. Disgusting that it was ever introduced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban under-16s from riding ebikes and e-scooters then require a driver’s licence, Queensland inquiry to recommend⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re great devices. I’m for any legislation that allows the legal public use of them. Ridiculous that I can be trusted with a 1000+ cc motorbike but not a 3kw e-moto.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Gout Gout stuns with a record-equalling time in the 100 metres⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GGWP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSW To Impose Minimum Age For E-Bikes Following Review⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  e-bikes and e-motos are great and we need legislation to allow their use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The whole family is destroyed’: Australia’s inheritance disputes aren’t just increasing – they’re becoming messier⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped talking to my father because he didn’t pass on a portion of the inheritance like my grandparents intended. He’s a piece of shit in many ways that I was accustomed to but that broke the relationship for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With their first female leader gone, can the Liberals shake their 'women problem'?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like they have shaken their woman problem. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Communities for each state and territory⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think we’re a big enough community to support it. The frugal and gardening communities championed by @melbabouttown barely see any action. I think most of it can be put into this community until it needs some division.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Health star rating to become mandatory on all packaged food in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having an “entire packet” column would be useful for when someone eats the whole tub of ice cream or packet of biscuits. Eg, last time I checked a large Big M counted as two serves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunnings wins fight to use AI facial recognition tech to combat store crime, opening door for other retailers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sunnies, a hat and pay cash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It appears you no longer have the right to protest | First Dog on the Moon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People have important appointments at 5pm on Thursday evening?

  Traffic accidents and train replacements also cause people to miss things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunnings wins fight to use AI facial recognition tech to combat store crime, opening door for other retailers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Masks are going to be so in fashion for this neo dystopia we’re building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New video sheds light on beginning of altercation between police officers and a Town Hall protester⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t seem to add any more context at all. Cops still look like a bunch of cunts keen to throw punches. I doubt that guys shirt survived such treatment either, shirts are fragile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It was agony': Grandparents injured in Sydney anti-Herzog protest⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very disturbing that the police can tick a few boxes and have liability waived. They should always be liable for their actions with the powers they’re given.
