The offensive reason you can’t shop at night
  • if you’re a shift worker surely you have other times available to do your shopping other than after 6pm on a Sunday? like Monday morning?

  • Three Brisbane men kicked off flight for allegedly vaping, drinking duty-free alcohol on board
  • I didn’t need to read the excerpt to know where this flight was heading.

    the age of the third individual was the most surprising part.

  • Are eucalyptus trees really ‘widow makers’?
  • never heard them referred to as that, but then again this seems like a country term and I wouldn’t call the outer suburbs of Brisbane exactly country…

  • Not seeing all comments, curious as to why
  • this is how youtube looks with it turned on

  • Not seeing all comments, curious as to why
  • just hides comments on most sites/articles

    so news articles, youtube, fediverse apparently lol

    it was actually pretty nice to go to youtube and only see the video and the related videos column

  • Not seeing all comments, curious as to why
  • better than what I experienced last week which was literally no comments displaying on any thread, whether I was logged in or not

    figured it was a bug, came back days later and still nothing.

    … realised I had forgotten I turned on the “Block comments where they aren’t the primary focus” option on in 1Blocker which synced across my devices.

  • Mate, it's not like driving from DC to Philly
  • drove from Philly to Boston with a stop in NYC and it honestly wasn’t that bad

    with that being said I would never dream of driving from Brisbane to Canberra again. next time I want to see snow I am flying down — the return trip was the worst.

    I know they’re totally different distances but even to Sydney is a stretch for me these days.

    don’t even get me started with driving north of Brisbane…

  • Stray cats are a 'big problem' in Queensland. Here's what to do if you spot one
  • I don’t think you interpreted the second part how they meant it…

  • (URGENT) Lemmy has an XSS vulnerability in the sidebar - sh.itjust.works
  • thank you, and the 2FA set up was actually the easiest i’ve ever set up on iOS. a little too easy …

  • (URGENT) Lemmy has an XSS vulnerability in the sidebar - sh.itjust.works
  • i’ll be damned if I’m removing my identity just to protect my account

  • New towers to dominate Indooroopilly skyline if plans get the nod
  • 100% agree, and I hope as working from home becomes more popular/more of a standard, I will be much less dependent on my car.

    obviously this can’t be the case for everyone but i’d be happy not driving 2 hours a day for work, let alone 3-4 hours on public transport.

  • New towers to dominate Indooroopilly skyline if plans get the nod
  • I think until there’s better public transport to other areas of SEQ (and further even), we are going to always have a need for vehicles.

    I would love to be able to catch a train to the heart of Caloundra, but for now the most efficient way for me to travel is to drive everywhere.

  • Apologies to all
  • how do I give gold to this comment? wait…

    but seriously, I genuinely laughed pretty hard haha

  • Apologies to all
  • bold and underline, really sell it; “no way did I type this, look at this formatting!”

  • A beautiful winter afternoon in Shorncliffe
  • I got the notification ☺️

  • A beautiful winter afternoon in Shorncliffe
  • EXIF data, not meta data… Stupid bagel.

  • Any chances anybody saw what happened here?

    By the time I noticed (only because she was crying so loud I could hear it over my podcast as I drove past), I did a loop back around the block to see if she was OK and the staff at the mitsubishi car yard were out with her, had moved her car and were consoling her.

    Basically I was hoping to find out if whoever hit her did a runner or not? The poor thing was so upset.

    Location: Corner of Milton Rd and Frederick Street, at the roundabout next to Toowong Cemetery

    edit: removed photo, the driver actually posted on /r/brisbane

    how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?

    due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

    I think I am done with reddit.

    it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

    I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

    anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?
