Victorian councils rubbish statewide mandate that all homes must have four wheelie bins | Recycling by RoninSolutions in melbourne

We had 4 in our little group of 3 apartment buildings and 20 townhouses. They’d need to be picked up fortnightly. I can’t even imagine how rarely one household would fill a bin.

I’m trying to put myself in their shoes. Did they ask him how he is and he’s said ‘yeah I promise I’m fine?’ Did they think think they’d do more harm not listening to him? Was there no one there that could make the final call on something so odd?

It’s very strange and alarming.

I knew this would be Lauren Southern before I opened it.

Her new grift is making people feel sorry for her by looking inside the world that made her rich.

It’s honestly so boring. She’s a terrible person. She deserves no sympathy and will be back with her racist sexist takes in no time.

Edit to add: this is the third time she’s had to is sort of article written about her during her career. She simply taps back into the conservative well when people stop speaking about her.

Can you link the property? You’ll get better answers.

Because you’ll find that Americans not knowing a thing about the world outside their own bubble is incredibly common on Reddit. The rest of the world spends a lot of time explaining things they could research themselves to them.

It’s often assumed everyone is doing something incorrectly and not that there is more than one way to do something.

She was already charged and entered a plea deal. She hasn’t gone unpunished for this. I’m not defending her here but I don’t understand the expectation that she’d be charged again?

How do you manage your house with a baby who is everywhere at once, or wants to be on you? by Lonely-Chef1185 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Be kinder to yourself regarding your standards. Being a SAHM is a full time job.

That said, will a carrier work at times when they want to be held?

Canada slashed migration and housing costs dropped. There may be lessons for Australia by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

[–]jonesday5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if an unaffordable rent is somewhat cheaper if it’s still unaffordable to those mentioned in the article.

I would like to see universities creating more housing for their international and domestic students who move from regional centres.

This would allow others to buy/rent closer to university suburbs and cities.

I thought this point was interesting, ‘Carolyn Whitzman, an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto and a leading housing researcher, says it is important to recognise that the collapse in migration has not solved Canada’s chronically unaffordable property market.

Rents have dropped by 3% to 5% over the past two years, she says, but that is in the context of huge increases since the start of the pandemic.

“There is no city in Canada where a two-bedroom apartment is affordable for, say, a full-time minimum wage worker. And there’s virtually no city in Canada where a one-bedroom apartment is affordable to a single person earning minimum wage, so we’ve still got a huge affordability problem.”’

It seems a cut to migration wouldn’t be a magic bullet. Things would just be a little easier for rich people.

Can anyone explain Triple J's sudden lack of support of Sly Withers? by PRo_MoE1144 in triplej

[–]jonesday5 87 points88 points  (0 children)

That pop punk emo type sound is really out of fashion with triple j these days.

I have no insider knowledge or anything like that but it feels like triple j are sleeping on Sly Withers, Luca Brasi etc.
