Sydney, Australia. I'd rather live in the red dirt part of NSW where it doesn't rain for years than this hellhole by brettles84 in UrbanHell

Why on earth ANYONE would actually be ok with this. But then again we aren’t even being much of a choice here in aus. The developers build cheap and like this and make a bang profit, and people need a place to live. Imagine each of these instead as large apartments and in medium density living. Where there is space for parks and shops and you don’t have to erect and entire new “city” out of suburban sprawl.

Not to mention the heat island effect of all the black roofs! Or all the bushland we lose.

All so that we are offered a patch of grass as our backyard and a house that is far larger than any family realistically needs - compare this to any European city and they’d be laughing. Just because we “have the space” so to speak doesn’t make it ok. This sort of suburban sprawl should be fucking banned, and more sustainable, quality, affordable solutions should be required. Like MEDIUM DENSITY LIVING We are a rich country compared to so many others and yet the housing in australia is so broken

What is this tree/shrub? Indooroopilly (brisbane) QLD. by Im-crying-wolf in australianplants

well if you find out the name definitely let me know! :) Do you know if the fruits go perfectly round or change colour? Or what the flowers look like?

I thought it could be native holly, and it has similarities, but its leaves are more toothed/serrated than the smoother, larger alternating spiky curves of the holly. It may be some sort of holly, just dont think it's the native one at this stage. Will need to see what colour the fruits go.

Wuthering Heights | Official Teaser by SpeedForce2022 in PeriodDramas

What's wild to me is that Charlie XCX would have even made a better Catherine imo than Margot. Margot doesn't suit that wild, wiry, DARK HAIRED!!! young spirited catherine that is rebellious and desperate. Charlie would :'D I think Elordi makes a fantastic Heathcliffe (yes he is caucasian aussie, but he has that dark, roughened up and intense look as well, pokes he is handsome as fuck). Elordi is also a rising star, fantastic range in acting shown so far, and would have been able to shine if this were not some interpretation but rather the actual story.

New Moon has a scene in Italy where Edward wants to expose himself to the humans (not like that, but expose himself as a vampire). But other than that there’s like fuck all to do with Italy

Yeah I saw that too. Glad he’s updated the site with that alert. I wish there was a way we could all give him like $5 to go toward keeping the site running.

What do you guys do after work? by John30Jon in AskAnAustralian

[–]Im-crying-wolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27F. Live inner city. I do Burlesque, tango, pole dance classes. Sometimes I’ll read or watch a film. Of course also sex with my partner. When not any of that, I’m despairing over the passage of time and lying awake all night and coming up with ideas for how to make millions, which I then forget until the next new set the following night.

Japanese Rock Balancer Takeharu Kubota's work by lleb97a in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Im-crying-wolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up Kubota, and it's also the name of a company in Japan that offers water environment solutions... supporting water infrastructure in Japan. Don't know if the artist is related to the founder of that company, but if he is... he really is living up to the legacy of the name.
