I’m not saying it will be easy. But we should be moving in that direction.
- Comment on Victoria's free public transport continues in May with half-price fares to follow 3 weeks ago:
Many who have the option to drive choose public transport for many trips. Me, for example.
- Comment on Car hits pedestrians in Melbourne, killing Supernova Comic Con attendee 3 weeks ago:
The fact that you can’t imagine a world without cars is scary. Humans survived 10s of thousands of years without them. We’ve had cars just over 100 years. They’re not integral to the human experience.
Try to imagine better public transport, more people riding bikes and scooters, walkable cities.
How much of our cities do we give up to cars? Between roads and parking, it’s too much. Even then they still mount the footpath and kill people.

Your US and A is a strange place. In Australia guns killed 30 or so people and we banned them.
- Comment on Car hits pedestrians in Melbourne, killing Supernova Comic Con attendee 3 weeks ago:
There’s no way to safely mix cars with people. If there was, we would have done it by now. If anything else killed as many people as cars, we would ban it.

You’re laughing at a pedestrian being killed and another seriously injured. You should be ashamed of yourself

- Comment on Leigh Ryswyk becomes first AFL player to come out as gay 1 month ago:
He played one game in 2005. Big news
- Comment on Renters continue to face a tight rental market and rising costs, according to new report 1 month ago:
This is framed as a renting issue. But it’s a general housing issue that affects both renters and owners. Houses cost more, insurance costs more, any maintenance work costs more, body corporates cost more. There’s really no way to escape the rising costs of housing.
- Comment on Smoking has already killed far more people this century than in the entire 20th century 1 month ago:
And a lot of smoking in the 20th century that only caused death this century.
- Comment on Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people’s ‘struggle against oppression’ 2 months ago:
Speak for yourself mate. I don’t support this.
- Comment on Four minutes of air conditioning 2 months ago:
Depends on the model, the size of the query and response, the hardware it’s running on (tpus are more efficient than GPUs), and many other factors. Also depends on the aircon.

I mean it’s not good, but I’m so glad they made it 😀

- Comment on Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 30 Palestinians in one of deadliest days since ceasefire 3 months ago:
What does ceasefire even mean?
- Comment on The Current Situation (Sorry Americans) 3 months ago:
Stupid Americans post so damn much about themselves and their country. I bet they don’t know anything about Australian politics.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 3 months ago:
The Hamas attack on October 7 was also wrong and bad. No excuses there. But there has to be limits on retaliation.
- Comment on Protests erupt in Minneapolis after second US citizen shot dead by agents 3 months ago:
Americans… am I right? What a place.
- Comment on [Video] Australian attorney-general Michelle Rowland confirms it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing genocide. 3 months ago:
Let me say that I do believe that the Israeli government is committing genocide. And they believe they are too. They’ve said the quiet part out loud. They don’t want to live in peace with the Palestinians.
- Comment on Greens capitulate to right-wing campaign against the Palestine movement 3 months ago:
There are lots of examples of mass murder without religion. Many communist regimes that were anti religion but killed millions. The matter of religion seems orthogonal.
- Comment on 'Let them smoke and die': How Aussies reacted to smoking cancer link in 1964 3 months ago:
This is so crazy. I still don’t understand how people can have such little regard for their future selves.
- Comment on Greens capitulate to right-wing campaign against the Palestine movement 3 months ago:
I know a bunch of Muslims and they’re some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I think there are good and bad people in every religion, and you can’t paint them all with the same brush.
- Comment on Some alternate maps of down under 3 months ago:
Lotta bogans in Tassie
- Comment on Australia to form royal commission into antisemitism after Bondi mass shooting 3 months ago:
Maybe the Australian Jewish community could denounce the actions of Israel. That might win them some more support.
- Comment on 'Get out of Minneapolis': Mayor's fury after ICE agent shoots and kills woman 3 months ago:
America is fucked. Stay away if you can until they sort themselves out.
- Comment on Woman wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ jacket among three arrested at Sydney protest against US action in Venezuela 3 months ago:
We don’t get to vote on each individual policy. There are a few options for representatives and you have to choose between them. You pick the one that you mostly agree with (or disagree with the least)

- Comment on Accidentally range testing an electric motorcycle, and unexpected kindness 5 months ago:
Did they just ride off on you when you ran out of battery? Couldn’t you have hopped on the back of one of their bikes to get back to civilisation then retrieved the bike?
- Comment on Jakarta overtakes Tokyo as world's largest city, according to UN 5 months ago:
What’s Asia?
- Comment on Millennials are the first generation to move left as they age 5 months ago:
I’m the same amount left, but more and more disillusioned by left wing parties. They gave a lot of talking points but no solid plans on what to do if they got power.
The greens make great headlines, but I don’t think they’re ready to run a pub raffle, let alone the country.
