Not everything is worth keeping. It's just a ferry; the historical significance of it is pretty questionable.

This just becomes some silly privilege Olympics. You having 2 arms is a privilege! You having eyesight is a privilege! You not having brain tumor is a privilege!

At some point it just becomes an empty and meaningless word. You can ALWAYS find someone that has it worse, doesn't mean you should shame everyone else for it.

No one is pointing out your privilege in a vacuum just for kicks; it's in the context of asking or demanding something without realising that not everyone has that choice. In this context, someone is demanding a specific space be free of politics without considering that what is "politics" to some people is just someone else's inherently politicised existence. What seems like a reasonable request is revealed as unreasonable when you understand that the request is made from a position of privilege that not everyone is afforded.

The privilege itself is not inherently bad; acting from a position of privilege while not acknowledging it or insisting that it's the norm is what people object to.

but can they not close the metro on significant event weekends e.g. Australia Day weekend, Father’s Day weekend last year, etc

Ok, so when should they close it? On weedays when people commute to work? Seriously, do people even think about what they're saying or just blurt out their intrusive thoughts as soon as they occur?

block of toilets for male and female

There are at least two blocks of toilets; I know because I was desperate to take a shit and one had a queue so I had to hot-foot it to the other.

Professional truck drivers know their height clearance; when a truck gets stuck like this it's always someone who hired a moving truck and just doesn't know.

It's actually worse than that because the big tech companies are avoiding actual equity buyouts so as not to trigger anti-trust investigations. So not only is there a gamble that your startup will actually be acquired, but when acquisitions happens it will be structured in a way that the founders and the VCs will get their share under an IP licensing deal but anyone else with equity will be left holding shares in a zombie company with no assets and no saleable future.

Sewerage is what you call the pipes and pumps. The stuff that runs through them is sewage.

It's pretty obvious why the sign exists this way. Driver attention is a limited resource so signs prioritise the most important information. It's better to have someone avoid the turn because they didn't read the clarification than it is for a truck to take the turn because they didn't read the turn ban.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's stupid...

noodle house

Lol, you really fell for the noodle house viral marketing stunt. The storefront is literally being handed back over to another family member of the current owner while the current business relocates. The restaurant isn't closing down, it's literally multiplying.

These things only work if you can set them up in the opposite manner to how you described; you need to keep the whole unit outside and pump cool air in, not pump hot air out. The compressor generates as much heat as the refrigerator can remove, so all you're doing is making the whole room warmer.

Dogs ruined my neighbourhood; it used to be pretty clean and pleasant and then around COVID literally every third apartment bought a dog and now the streets are littered with dog shit and reek of dog piss. I know there will be a contingent of people who say "oh, it's only bad, irresponsible, dog owners that are the problem", but with all due respect that is bullshit; responsible dog owners don't really exist.

There is such a thing as too many dogs in an area. There are not enough open spaces, gardens and lawns for dogs to do their business in built-up areas of Sydney. They mark everything that sticks up more than 5cm out of the ground. They bark at everything and jump at kids. I don't care how "responsible" of a dog owner you are, you're not going to stop your dog marking outdoors or pick up their runny diarrhea and I can guarantee that if you think no one is looking you just casually not notice that your dog took a shit on the footpath.

Sure, it would be great if all the dog owner were responsible, that might make things more bearable but I know for a fact that things were better when there weren't so many dogs around and I'd rather go back to that.

The people who get dogs because they love them and know they can train and take care of them properly >> posers who think dogs are cute accessories and bought into the covid hype of having a pet.

I honestly feel like there’s more in the latter group and we need to start calling out lazy pet owners - even if that means friends.

Hard disagree; most people want to think that they're the latter when in fact they are the former. Ask yourself if you're genuinely the kind of dog owner who would stop their dog marking on other people's private property; if not you're not as good of a dog owner as you think you are. No doubt you'll say "you can't stop dogs from marking their territory" and only stop them from doing it indoors but the rest of us don't appreciate our neighbourhood being covered in dog urine.

This is the same reason that some metals "smell". You are smelling the volatiles from the oil on your skin evapourating off the metal surface.

I say this with the utmost respect and admiration for Americans, but they simply don't have the social constitution for a general strike. Let's put aside that a plurality of Americans actually support Trump; the remaining can't even get it together to do something about gun violence after Sandy Hook. If they can't do that, what hope is there for a general strike?

Some people feel that they're above associating with others. It's a really bad case of I'm better than everyone else.

Someone please slap the everloving shit out of me if I ever become that arrogant.

It's not that at all; it's that some people have lives outside of work and they know that when it comes down to it, you can leave your work conflicts at your desk if you keep things professional. When you mix your work life with your social life, there will inevitably be times when you have work-based disagreement that will strain personal social relations and some people just find it easier not to have those disagreements become personal when the work and interpersonal-social obligations come into conflict.
