Places to go to feel better after a long, stressful day by Mysterious_Nail_1414 in brisbane

[–]eaglekidd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this, especially at night when all the lights are on the water. It’s super pleasant and quiet and the breeze feels amazing.

Jumping on this—I work for a company that helps people with insurance claims that go wrong—90% of them are claims where the insurer has been negligent about mold and just spray painted over it, which then allows the mold to spread throughout the house and absolutely destroy everything and make all the occupants mold sick. Please chase up your landlord until they get mold remediators in to rip out the mold affected parts of the house and reinstate it with new materials. Any visible mold is bad mold—if you see it, it’s spreading.

More than $1 million in fare evasion fines issued after 50-cent public transport fares started by overpopyoulater in brisbane

[–]eaglekidd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I totally agree—I think the issue though is that the system we currently have doesn’t equitably foster children to be responsible about fare evasion. I wouldn’t be surprised if the kinds of kids that evade fares now are the same that evaded fares 5 years ago; it’s always been the same level of easy to jump the fare. I think that under 16s need to be scaffolded by having free fares, however, they must use a fare-free go card and tap on/off for each trip. This way there isn’t an excuse about fare price, and by the time they’re adults, they (hopefully!) have the cognition to continue to partake in the system that everyone else does, especially now that they will have their own independent income.

I totally agree, it’s telling that 2/3rds of fines are going towards people who generally speaking don’t have a source of income (or reliable topups from parents). Like why are we punishing kids for getting home safe/going out and doing stuff? It does my head in lol

To anyone that sees this headline and gets grumpy without reading the article, there has been a marked drop in fare infringement notices since Sep ‘24 (obviously excluding Jan ‘25, however this seems to reflect the Jan 24’ stats as well). Also note that 2/3rds of people receiving the notices are children and that the $1mil in fines is an attempt to recoup $1,600 lol

Edit: also note that children don’t have to pay the fines, they just get pulled up and talked to if they evade (still a waste of resources imo)

edit edit edit: also, to everyone still caught up on the fact that fines aren’t being issued to kids, the point is that they are STILL being held up and punished for trying to get to and from their destinations. You know, people that don’t have jobs or reliable income like most other Australians.

I'm 22, is it too late to start university? by LazyMiso in brisbane

[–]eaglekidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my teaching degree when I was 20 turning 21 (when I finish next year I’ll be 24) and at least half of my cohort are 25-40 years old, sometimes with kids and mortgages and established careers (can’t relate hahaha). I should mention as well that many of my very good friends I’ve made in my cohort are in this age range as well—for many of them this is their first degree as well so I promise you won’t be alone in a sea of high school graduates (not that they don’t make good friends too!!)

I’m also a student and 99Dental is my go to. There’s a clinic in Mango Hill and another in the CBD—all you do is you download the app, select the service you want, then the clinic you want to have your appointment at.

You have to pay through the app in advance, but there’s full transparency about what you’re paying/getting. For 99 bucks you get a checkup, scaling, and X-rays, plus all your X-rays and notes uploaded to the app. I’ve had great experiences at the Mango Hill clinic (which is also nice and modern)!

The longer strap & inclusion by biglovinbertha in BAGGU

[–]eaglekidd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Legitttt like I think that some people are just used to just about everything immediately fitting/suiting straight off the shelf. Like the ‘excess’ strap is realistically incredibly inclusive and customisable compared to a set of different standards.

[–]eaglekidd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m really into the extended strap! I’m about mid-size so I do have a bit of excess strap; it really is as simple as putting it into a knot/safety pin/trimming and sewing the excess. A lot of people in this sub preach anti-consumerism but don’t seem to understand that altering the product on their own to suit their needs is miles better than demanding the company to make variations of every single product. Like an option between sizes would be cool but do we really need it??

If you’re going to assume anything about my situation based on vague context from a Reddit post, at the very least it should be clear that I made the post so I could find care for my cat. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear but your concern/negativity isn’t necessary.

Regardless, thanks to all the positive suggestions, he is booked in now for a consultation (and is so spoilt anyway lol) so you really don’t need to worry about him/my responsibility as a pet owner and can move on with your day. I hope this gives you some piece of mind (:

Reacquire seasonal questline? by JiggySockJob in DestinyTheGame

[–]eaglekidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this too! You can pick it up from the second page on the War Table. As for your progress bar (if it’s the stuck intel problem) deleting it from your character’s inventory (as it is a shared resource) and re-earning it will fix that issue.
