I’m wondering how to connect to an org? I have no kids, had a vasectomy decades ago over concerns about world population and biodiversity issues… I keep my carbon emissions low and vote Green. Seems to me I give more fucks about a future livable planet for other peoples children then many parents do but that aside.
Anyone aware of a genuine community org that might be interested in me leaveing them my modest house and they can use it to house people ? I am guessing they’ll get fucked over with stamp duty though for the title transfer, so maybe a modest sum to cover that for them as well?
Currently my will specifies everything is liquidated and then distributing the proceeds to reputable charities so, maybe that still makes more sense?
Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it. I’m merely curious as to what would happen to emergency services if a total ban on personal, motorized vehicles was enacted. I’m especially...
Ban cars to me is shorthand for ban private cars, has nothing to do with EMS, or even public owned shared cars for that occasional time a car might necessary.
An 80% reduction in cars should be easy. 90% reduction with a few tweeks i’d think.

Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh… I’d love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren’t, like Taylor Swift don’t need more supoort.

I am 58, I have a vague memory of being lied too about Father Christmas , being told thays not true even though I was assured he was originally and then thinking the same thing about god (catholic family) but figured out for myself that it was bullshit. Doesnt take much ciritcal thinking, even as a kid to realise that.
I had to LARP for a bit but stopped the nonsense of church etc when I was allowed too as a young teen. Reading more widely after that you get to see some of the utter horrors caused by religion and release how toxic they are.
An example, lived in Cambodia many many years ago and a bunch of evangelicals wouldn’t let locals use a water well until they “converted”. A constant reminder of the toxic nature of religion.
Not sure I agree with this as any solution, tokeninstic at best, the asshats who can afford $100k+ for a ute won’t give a shit about increased parking fees, well enough of a shit to complain but not enough to stop them. Just ban them.
I haven’t seen much discussion about this, but noticed them when perusing some PDS’s. The headliner is that they both have fees of 0.15%, lower than everyone else’s equivalent offerings in the Australian market:...
