Australia@aussie.zone•Victoria has made public transport free – NSW hasn’t. Has there been any difference in uptake?English
1·4 days agoWhy the sarcasm? Just because I don’t use a service does not mean I’m a not interested in discussing what is happening in society. I don’t drive trucks but I’ve also put up a post about electric trucks and other similar posts. If we were all just interested in what affects us personally our society would be even more selfish and dysfunctional than capitalism encourages it to be. Mate, you seem to have a hate problem. Hate is bad for mental and physical health.

2·4 days agoWow, pretty impressive! With the petrol situation not going to improve any time soon and climate action desperately needed this is an opportune time for governments to get input from commuters such as yourself throughout Australia and start transforming our PT systems according to the needs of different population centres.
I think your last point about the faulty one CBD model was already recognised long ago. Sydney has 3 major business/admin centres: city centre, North Sydney and Parramatta. I haven’t lived in Sydney for a while so there may be more for all I know. There’s probably similar set ups in other cities but I don’t personally know.

4·4 days agoI reckon that happens to a lot of people. Australia has always been really car-centric unless you are in the city and even there outer suburbs often don’t have much choice.

1·4 days agoFleur, I don’t know if you’re talking to me again or not, but just in case you are, I live in a rural area where buses are few and far between and I’d have to drive to get to a bus if I wanted one, so I have to use a car. Luckily I don’t have to do much driving.

4·4 days agoAnd it needs to do that by improving, not by simply adding barriers to alternatives.
What improvements would you recommend? This is important. More ideas need to be discussed.

3·4 days agoOk, now I understand what meme you might be referring to (if that’s what’s happening) but please understand that not all people know about all the memes that are bandied about. Let’s be civil to each other. I could be your grandmother and I am sure she would not know about the meme.

61·5 days agoYou can f*** me as much as you like but I can’t bring free transit to NSW and you are displaying a great deal of ignorance.

Australia@aussie.zone•Gen Z men want babies more than gen Z women. What’s behind the 'cluck gap'?English
5·5 days agoIt may be difficult for some to work out what they want if they have not worked out who they are in a deeper sense.

Australia@aussie.zone•Gen Z men want babies more than gen Z women. What’s behind the 'cluck gap'?English
1·5 days agoBut that’s the problem, many don’t know what they want exactly. This can happen to genz women too. Society is shifting all the time in unprecedented ways. What you may want today may not be what you want in 5 years’ time. I’d say it’s important to work out who you are and why you want what you want.

Australia@aussie.zone•More Australians are self-prescribing natural remedies, but are they always safe?English
1·5 days agoBeing well informed about what you’re taking is important whether you’re taking medically prescribed medicine or nature-based supplements and remedies. Having said that, people dying from prescription drug reactions, dangerous interactions, errors, etc, are high while there are few to none from taking natural remedies.
Every so often out comes an article like the above in Australia but a lot less often about the safety of Pharma industry medicines, apart from opioids and depression medications whose effects can be dangerous and lethal. Many would be surprised just how much damage can be done by medically-prescribed medicines.

Australia@aussie.zone•This Anzac Day falls on a Saturday – and these states will be getting an extra public holidayEnglish
22·6 days agoIf you mean me, not lazy at all. I bothered to put up the post. Perhaps you’re lazy not wanting to read the article. Btw, where are your posts?
I thought most people would already know whether their state has a pub hol or not but the points relating to work issues were the really important bit.

3·8 days ago😅 That’s why some people call these plant beverages ‘mylk’ so that those who understand milk as only being of the dairy kind don’t get annoyed.

5·9 days agoOat milk could be a kind of gruel IF they are boiling oats in a lot of water. I don’t know if the commercial oat milk is made like that. Home-made oat milk is not heated at all and you know how and what you are using. The person you heard may have been using poetic license.

5·9 days agoVery much so. Look up online your favourite plant-based milk and see if you can find it in powdered form. I use soy and coconut milks this way. You can also make oat milk yourself from rolled oats. Look up online on how to do it. It’s an easy process.













😆 Neither.
