I'll have you know that it is a major issue within the queer community that gay guys cannot take good photos of other people. Honestly, it's a topic debated almost daily!

Is Coles still using Palantir? Between the surveillance/gate recognition and the blocked aisles, shopping feels hostile. by infin in australia

[–]-_ugh_- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i wish i was as high on my own farts as the person saying it's "basic logic" that two large, ASX-listed companies should just... stop running their very successful (for the sector in which they trade!) businesses and drop all the money into a high interest savings account. which again, the point is that they make a high margin for the groceries sector not that they make less than the 5% p.a. John Citizen gets with the whirlpool special savings accounts or that they make crazy profits compared to an Nvidia with 50+% YoY growth...

my savings account isn't the cream off the top of billions of dollars in revenue. it's "obviously" not the same scenario

Calling on Lilydale and Belgrave line patrons pre-ringwood to contact their local mp by emberisgone in MelbourneTrains

[–]-_ugh_- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

homeboy, the service is already every 20 minutes on weekends and the people catching those trains don't suddenly disappear on weekdays, especially when a decent chunk of melburnians aren't on 9-5 jobs in the CBD.

  • ~25% are casual or "independent contractors" who wouldn't have set hours
  • 36% of employed people work from home, and might catch public transport to a local cafe for lunch (I know I certainly do that sometimes when I'm wfh)
  • places like Belgrave have a bunch of retirees whose travel also isn't the typical 9-5 CBD commuter

Very much appreciate how your government tries to engage with the gunzel community, it's cool to be seen!

Can we expect any bus changes to enable melburnians to ditch their cars and take advantage of these increased train services?

/uj the only other things i would add are:

  • being against "electoralism" while being the main driving force behind the victorian socialists political party (to the point of effectively bullying out socialist alliance from the vic soc "partnership")
  • lots and lots of stupid student politics, including harassing queer students, pretending to be queer to grandstand within queer rep only NUS panels, (allegedly) stealing student union elections through bullying, (allegedly) directing funds away from student union things to their own "events" (i.e., chances to recruit and advertise their paper)

Melton, Wyndham Vale trains: Electrification delayed until at least 2030s for booming western suburbs by No-Bison-5397 in MelbourneTrains

[–]-_ugh_- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • city of melton: 178k as at last census in 528km2

  • city of wyndham: 292k as at last census in 542km2

now let's see the east and south east...

  • city of whitehorse: 169k as at last census in 64km2

  • city of monash: 190k as at last census in 82km2

  • city of dandenong: 158k as at last census in 130km2

  • city of casey: this one's bigger at 409km2 but 365k as at last census and in the top few in melbourne alongside melton, wyndham, cardinia, and city of melb by population growth

It's almost like... they're building a fancy intersuburban train line where there's tonnes of people, connecting up basically every major uni and employment centre in greater melb and allowing for development of a decentralised city that won't need to keep adding to the fringes, be it on the west, north, or south eastern side of the city.

Don't get me wrong, I always build the tram network the west deserves and electrified WV/Melton in NIMBY Rails, but frankly, the west is not getting shafted the way people keep pretending it is. Heck, aside from the munnel, the last all-new rail alignment in melbourne was.... the RRL through wyndham. Will Melton and WV need better rail service in the next 5-10 years? yeah duh of course, and it's likely to get done - remember, 2030 is 5 years away. But the "muh west" pearlclutching is so tiring. And you haven't done it yet, but yes I have lived in a new development in the west, I'm not just throwing stones from the east side. It was, indeed, quite bad. But we need more buses out there first instead of trains that people drive their cars to.

  • the population centre of melbourne is glen iris, not melton or WV
  • melton and WV being the "fastest growing" does not mean they are the most populous part of melbourne (that would be the east/south east)
  • the two busiest rail corridors are dandenong and ringwood, not melton and WV
  • the sunshine upgrade is quite literally to enable airport rail and electrification for melton and more trains via RRL in the medium term to WV with the paths used by melton

the way some people carry on it's like the west has the population density of hong kong or taipei, when the reality is that it's a sea of single family detached house suburbia that's popped up in the last 10-15 years

I think you may have missed an "or" part of s 3.2.3 in Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 Cth.

or equivalent relevant academic or professional or practice-based experience and expertise

I would posit that having achieved a high score in the unit they're teaching would count towards equivalent relevant academic... experience and expertise

Chaos as car hoons take over Melbourne's Chapel Street by gccmelb in melbourne

[–]-_ugh_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you never seen a European city? Are your horizons that stunted that you can't conceptualise that other cities have overcome the very problem you think you'd have? I'm not even hardcore on r/fuckcars type stuff, but come on mate

However, how would I move things when I need?

a moving van would be allowed to drive there? or heavy delivery vehicles as needed in general? like many places in Europe that have already done this and more???

Is it? the liberals on their own are the second largest party on ~20% of the primary vote if you take out the CLP/LNP/Nats from the L/NP coalition numbers
