It can sometimes grow to quite a large fund for people.

Damian Gordon saved $46,000. He described it as a hobby for him. What a legend!

Oh wow! Thats Glebe, i went through there on the bus once. Nice to be able to put a name to the place.

Hahaha, what a legend! Practical teachers were always my favourite.

Yeah, i didn’t go into too much detail because i can’t really remember the story, so i don’t know if there was a legit problem, or the teacher was just reacting to the potential. I have this vague memory about him rolling it around the palm of his hand, but i don’t trust my memory on that detail.

Reminds me of a story my partner told me about a ‘science geek’ in her year at school.

He brought loose mercury in with him to science class. As he showed the teacher, the teacher apparently evacuated the classroom. The kid got a good talking to apparently.

Not sure what happened to the mercury.

I think you mean Captain Planet.

Every 40k author is tearing up their manuscript right now and starting afresh,

…the screaming chainsaw missile tore through the mid-morning air, the astartes all laughed as it sliced though half a squad of guardsmen as they ate breakfast…

Missed the next two lines,

Less bike lanes

Free parking

Induced demand

More traffic

Ugh, thats a laundry list of shit and institutional changes that, best case scenario, will take time and a lot of understanding to wade through.

The moral panic has definitely been put in the spotlight. But i felt it was losing its salience in a political sense. These people have continued spewing their same hatred filled alternate reality, and more people, i felt, were just seeing these unjust attacks for what they always were.

But i’m on Lemmy now, and hardly go on anything else, so i might have cauterised that hateful side of the population online. I suppose my offline life is very insulated from that as well, so probably not in the best position to judge.

I’m sorry we have so many c*#ts in this country, i hope everyday your surrounded by more and more better people.

Maybe some of them have gained enough perspective to feel shame about their decisions. Probably not, but maybe.

I really dislike how this fact is being forgotten. There is no ‘big brain’ conspiracy going on here he got caught out making an offer that he didn’t actually mean to be taken seriously. The rest has been making the best, for himself, of a bad situation.

Also this article only gets to the really interesting question in the last twenty words or so. ‘Why are people still on there?’ Thats the analyses good journalists could be focusing on.

As well as all the other comments, a vouple to add,

Toll roads - practices minimising cost by owners.

Higher proportion of heavy vehicles on the roads, not just trucks, but SUVs and the Wanker Trucks.

Time of year, not a 100% on this, but i think potholes are more likely to form when there’s wet weather

I know your joking, but can i hijack your comment a bit. Your comment kind of reflects my thoughts when i joined Lemmy.

I like Perth, so I made that my ‘thing’ to contribute to Lemmy. So I echo the other commentor, “be the change”, and have a ‘thing’ that you do here.

It’s helped me stay way more engaged, and have way more fun on here than I ever did on Reddit. If it’s turtles cool! If its something else, also cool!
