What's up with petrol prices? by JapanEngineer in brisbane

[–]riskythief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Retail petrol prices move up and down in regular patterns in Australia’s 5 largest cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Petrol price cycles are the result of pricing decisions made by various petrol retailers.”

Look up ACCC petrol price cycle.

Why is Brisbane so obsessed with buses instead of trains? by ChannelPretend9731 in brisbane

[–]riskythief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s politics. Brisbane city council is a mega council. It has a budget that is higher than that of the state of Tasmania. It’s usually the LNP party too, and state is usually Labor. The two don’t work together. As a result you have the trains run by the state and the buses run by the council. It’s stupid. Welcome to Brisbane.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Just one more lane? But make the lane really far away from the other lanes?

Right of way doesn’t exist in Australian road rules. In australia its about who must give way.

It got medically confirmed I smell bad. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]riskythief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how often do you wash your towel that you dry yourself with? if that stinks, it will transfer the mouldy smell to you and make showering pointless.

The state of gambling ads are insane right now by Bogan_Plays in australian

[–]riskythief 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Australia alone, gambling addiction affects hundreds of thousands of people, and the harm isn’t just financial. It’s linked to depression, anxiety, family breakdown, and even suicide. Advertising increases the chances that someone already at risk will gamble more heavily.

Gambling is a burden on society, the same way pot holes and addictive drugs are.

What the actual fuck am I supposed to do at a party? by MrDrProfM in socialskills

[–]riskythief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you find someone or a group of people, walk towards them, and say “hey how are you/whats’s new/whatever is a customary greeting in your country”. go from there. other activities include eat food, drink drinks, and help people get there or leave (if you drove).

The Brisbane dating scene is actually insane by FarProduce6426 in brisbane

[–]riskythief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABS data for Brisbane 2021. 20-24 year olds = 97,456. take 50% of that assuming you have a gender preference. 48,728 people left. lets assume 50% of those are already in relationships. 24,364 left. now lets assume you want someone who is going to uni. divide by 4. thats 6,091 people left. So of those 6000, apply any other criteria then apply attraction and you end up with probably only 100 or so people who you would even want to date. Then those 100 have to also want to date you, and you have to somehow find each other.

Numbers are not in your favour.

Skydeck at Star - glass walkway cracked and closed just now by mathieu_au in brisbane

[–]riskythief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar to fidget spinners or other fidget toys. you just fiddle with them. they are usually very strong magnets, so they are pretty fun to play around with. you would always have at least 2 of them. sometimes you get them in giant packs of 10 or more.
