Australians! I found this site really helpful for planning my vote, especially for the senate. Remember, they’re your preferences and you shouldn’t follow a party how to vote card. This site helps you work out your preferences. myplan.buildaballot.org.au

No one ever hits up weight watchers or slimming world to ask for a refund because these type of systems are promoted as 'the last one you'll ever need'.

They lay the blame of failure at the users feet. The system works so...it must be you?

It wasn't you...they lied.

This! Nobody is addicted to sugar. It's like saying someone is addicted to oxygen.
"I'm addicted to carbs!" 🍩

Carbs aren't addictive, but ultra-processed foods with carbs, fat, & salt together can drive cravings. It’s the combination that lights up reward pathways, making some foods feel impossible to stop eating. 🍟

I've been interested in Intuitive Eating for several years now and do my best to apply the principles. What's crazy is how it became a fad a few years ago to invoke the concept in the context of dieting. Which doesn't really make much sense when the first principal is to "Reject the diet mentality"

If I had a dollar for every time a person says they don't pay for public transport because it's not good enough, I would give it to the public transport operators so they could improve their service. Just like they could if those people actually paid!

Think you're addicted to sugar? Tell me, would you eat this whole bowl of sugar in one sitting, unable to stop?
Didn't think so...

So... Section 31 was disappointing, especially as a stand-alone movie. But I'm sure the whole franchise hasn't been ruined, right?

I'm seriously considering leaving Facebook for good. All of my fun Star Trek discussion forums have turned into whinefests. This week, people are whining about how bad a movie nobody has seen yet will be. The pervasive, unchecked homophobia is also getting me down...

car dependency is a hell of a drug.

So Elon is now limiting the visibility of negative posts. Has he or any of the other right-wing people who compare everything the "left" do to "1984" actually read "1984"? Best be double plus good on X if you want people to read your posts! LOL

Same! I can actually get something productive done on a train or tram. Nothing better than a clear inbox when you arrive at the office
The older I get, the less I like parking my ass in a car seat and staying in it from door to door. I’d much rather chill on a train or bus and walk or grab a bike-share between stops. That way daily exercise, fresh air, and social connection is built right into the trip.

While they are still terribly car dependent, I think Australian suburbs are laid out a bit better than those in the US. I was looking at some satellite pics and noticed lots of footpaths (sidewalks) with places to cut through so it doesn't take hours to walk to the next block

The more people that choose to walk, bike and ride public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. There’s no “war on cars,” just an opportunity for more successful cities.

It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

Working in something new. Stay tuned.

The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

Concerted push to get active on here. Tweaked my profile and have followed a bunch of people. It's kind of refreshing starting from scratch (to some extent) and searching my interests to see what comes up. Used a starter pack which one user created. Very helpful...

Saw the “Wicked” movie on the weekend. Reminded me that I’m not that big a fan of the show, but managed to blow me away anyway. Brilliant visuals and perfect performances

I wonder if people here know how orchestras and conductors work. Or are at least willing to learn about it.

OK. First post here. You’ll never guess where I’m running from 😉
