‘Disgusting’ and ‘entitled’: MPs slam Gurner’s call for job losses
  • But at the same time they're encouraging the loss of jobs to bring down inflation. Everyone likes to talk about interest rate rises cooling inflation but they never mention that the cooling effect is largely a function of lost employment.

  • What driving concept you feel that most drivers don't understand?
  • Tailgating doesn't get you there faster. Most highway accidents would be avoided if people would just leave some space, and then we wouldn't get stuck in accident traffic jams for hours.

    Somewhat counterintuitively, traffic will flow better and you'll get places faster if you just leave some space (and you'll be safer and use less fuel as you won't be always on the accelerator and brakes)

  • Just look at them!
  • Yeah, the house I grew up in had so many frogs that you couldn't watch TV or make a phone call at night, it was like having the worst tinnitus every night. Frogs are cute, but that was too much!

  • And depending on where you are the biological parents may be able to reclaim them at some point. My sister looked into it in my country and determined that they never really became your children, you were just taking care of them until they either grew up or their parents came back for them. I can't imagine taking care of a child for years, treating it like your own, and then a stranger just coming and taking it back (and possibly taking it into a terrible environment).

    All the adopted kids I grew up with were adopted from overseas and now I understand why.

  • This is peak living.
  • My phone has been on DnD for over a year now. I have a (cheap) smart watch which vibrates on certain alerts like message, calendar, and phone and I can quickly glance and see that it's something I don't care about. I also ignore the calls from numbers not in my contacts if I notice them. In the time I've been doing this I don't think a single person has left a message on my voicemail - validating my actions.

  • Two houses destroyed in major blaze in Brisbane's inner south
  • Odds on the vacant home having a development application in the works?

    It says that the fire originated in one of the occupied houses. You'd have to be pretty dedicated to burn down an inhabited house to get around a DA blocker.
