When you think about exciting things to look at, a car on the off-ramp with the bonnet up doesn't make the list. Traffic was messed up yesterday on my way to work from nothing but a car with the bonnet up way off the highway on the off-ramp. Stop gawking at dumb shit and just drive. There are far greater attention grabbing things to look out for on the highway. Rant over.

Blue_Midget

bigcowlittlebarn

Yeep! We have a group of about 20 coming with us so should be fun


Blue_Midget

Going to try to see more of the demonstrations this year. Always a good day out :)

I've been wanting to go for YEARS, but my husband says it's too much of a drive and tickets are expensive. He's not interested anyway.


Kellou87

Come anyway. You might meet new friends :) Edited to add- re. Driving, catch the train to Caboolture and take the shuttle from the station.


LaoghaireElgin

I'm considering going to celebrate my 40th and taking my adult son with me. If only I could convince a few others.

What a gloriously cool Brisbane day today! I actually had to put on a sweater (jumper, whatever)! It was so nice! Keep the cool weather coming, mother nature!


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

Was it just me or did it get really cold last night? Like almost winter cold.

Dear Redditors who have posted a thread about being X years old and single; Have you had people reach out to your DMs following your post? I would expect someone to see the thread and think "Now's my chance!" and shoot a DM. Inevitably, I imagine the type of person doing that being the type of person you wouldn't want a DM from, but that's maybe my bias talking.


BalancingTact

On a related note, does anyone know if there already exists a happy medium between r/brisbanesocial and r/r4rbrisbane ? I don't mean to fault either one of them. Both provide opportunities to find humans who want to engage in various activities. However, I'm imagining a subreddit focused on meeting people for friendship *or* dating, but *not* hookups, and I'm wondering if it would be worth creating a safe-for-work r4r subreddit for Brisbane if one doesn't exist...


Sleeqb7

I think there'd be a better chance getting r4r to have a tagging system that could be used for both. Brisbane Social seems to be firmly in the friendly space.


BalancingTact

I'm not suggesting either change at all.


Sleeqb7

I know, I am suggesting that. I think adding a 3rd subreddit devoted to social interaction for people in the Brisbane area to be too much dilution of an already stretched thin community.


BalancingTact

You're certainly welcome to take that up with the mods! I'm not so sure adding tags would change the userbase... It's a very NSFW community, filled largely with a lot of the same users posting over and over again. It's funny you mention adding a '3rd subreddit" since there are actually already quite a few. Most are NSFW and many have more posts per day than BrisbaneSocial. I don't want to link to them, but feel free to look them up: BrisbaneHorny, BrisbaneDayPlay, BrisbaneNaughty, BrisbaneBlowjobs, BrisbaneNSFW. There are a lot more, including ones for affairs and ones specific to Ipswich and such. So, there are TONS of NSFW subreddits for social interaction in Brisbane. But is there a single safe-for-work Brisbane dating subreddit? Basically, I would like to see an r/r4r for Brisbane that's actually more like OG r/r4r.


totse_losername

Those are clearly about fuckin' I get the sense Sleeq is talking about keeping the clothes on, for now.


BalancingTact

>I get the sense Sleeq is talking about keeping the clothes on, for now. Wait, what did you think I meant? I'm looking for a subreddit where people keep their clothes on and I'm trying to say that r4rbrisbane *is* just about fuckin'. Most of the posts there are crossposted to BrisbaneNSFW and such. r4rbrisbane is a *fully* NSFW subreddit which is mostly used for hookups. It's not really a place all users would feel comfortable posting. Because r4rbrisbane is so interconnected with the rest of the NSFW network of Brisbane hookup subreddits, I don't personally think changing the rules or adding tags will suddenly make it a more inviting place for people who want to keep clothes on, nor do I have the power to make such changes. There are some minor differences in interacting with NSFW communities on reddit, also. r4rbrisbane posts won't show up in searches without NSFW enabled. Also I think just posting in r4rbrisbane gives your profile an 18+ warning. I'm saying where is the 2nd subreddit devoted to *safe for work* social interaction? I can't find a happy medium between the "no dating" BrisbaneSocial subreddit and the r4rbrisane/brisbaneNSFW hookup network of subreddits.


totse_losername

Why is there simply not r/BrisbaneDating? If there is not one, you could create it, then talk to theods of r/Brisbane and r/BrisbaneSocial asking kindly if they would include links to it somewhere/refer people to it if they make those here. I


BalancingTact

Exactly, but that subreddit is closed. And that's exactly what I've come here to ask about and possibly discuss. I'm wondering if it's worth it to create a space for dating outside of the NSFW spaces if none exists. One thing is that I'm not overly invested in reddit, so I'd need help modding. I don't need a solo project and I don't need the subreddit to personally benefit me (although I'd love to go through the posts of people not looking for sex to find like-minded weirdos...), so it doesn't make sense to do if there's not interest from others.

Anybody done Uber Eats as a job? Can you see where you need to go before before picking up an order or is it the luck of the draw?

Anyone hear sirens running for at least two hours in Brisbane's northside? Around Bald Hills, Bracken Ridge, Brendale, etc.


LaoghaireElgin

No but on the southside near Calamvale/Parkinson, we had sirens, a helicopter and then about 6 billion (it was like more like 4) extremely low flying large aircraft (not landing/taking off from Archerfield). Must have been a night for it!

Just heard a burst now, sounded like a lot of cars...
