  • The ACT has done a fantastic job in this field. If you’re a commuter you’ll rarely find yourself on a road, and if you do it will most likely have a permanent bike lane (no parked cars in sight)

    Sure, if you’re more of an adventurous cyclist like me and do more advanced rural cycling, you might end up on some roads (eg. when riding to Queanbeyan) but even that route has a bike lane.

    Shame that Adelaide, the “cycling capital” because of the Tour Down Under, has terrible bike infrastructure and timed bike lanes so people are allowed to park in them off-peak.



  • I know people who make 50k per month and don’t have jets. I make 30k p/m but I’ll get there one day. It’s crazy how when I was broke making $20/hour in a cafe that I thought everyone or most people are broke but now I’m making modest money it’s crazy how many other entrepreneurs are in my circle now. Just wow.












  • This post is not going to express my support for or against the LGBT, for it is quite nuanced. However, I will offer my theory on why this lack of openly gay players exists.

    First of all: AFL players aren’t just put into a team. They have to go through years of training before they start professionally playing, in smaller, more local teams. While many gay players might enjoy the sport, many would be deterred from the sport because the training they do before becoming professional has a culture that make jokes about LGBT people, which can be commonly perceived as threatening to their identity.

    The truly gay men that do make it through fear loss of respect or sponsorships in a career that they throughly enjoy. They fear losing sporting progress. There always will be those who actively dislike the LGBT, as well as people who deeply support them. This brings about uncertainty.

    To conclude, as the world shifts to a more diverse and inclusive society, we are likely to see an increase of openly gay players in sports.




  • Your choice. But you could go for a run instead of gaming or mow the lawn, make your front yard look nicer, start a YouTube channel or a website for some interest, learn to code and write a passion project, do some creative writing and publish your first 200 page novel; the list is endless. All of those things are work, but most things in that list are FUN. Sometimes downtime can be spent working. I spend my time reading and contributing to Wikipedia and supporting FOSS projects like this fantastic social media site! Because… this site doesn’t throw shit at me with intent to grab my attention with some advanced creepy algorithm. The code is publicly available. These fediverse socials are the only ones that aren’t extremely harmful.
