Wait, how does this work? Part of the reason I decided not to sign up was lack of space for a dedicated bin in my kitchen.

"The most vulnerable people are primary school children aged 4-12, intoxicated pedestrians aged 30-39, and elderly pedestrians aged over 70."
"As part of the campaign, Crime Stoppers Victoria will hit the streets to actively engage with high-risk pedestrians to educate them on how they can help keep our roads incident-free."
How does anyone see this as anything but bananas? Kids should be able to quickly and safely get to and from school without needing worry about whether or not a driver will mow them down. People who've been drinking are infamously not great decision makers so I don't know how "educating" will help any. And 70 year olds are vulnerable because they are 70 years old not because they don't know how dangerous cars are.
"'We have seen 175 pedestrians killed on our roads over the last five years, and a significant number of those have been in 60 km/h zones.'"
the problem is the cars and the car-centric infrastructure, jfc go fix that
I think consolidation would be a good thing. Because engagement is low and the way the kbin algorithm works, I never see any of the [email protected] or [email protected] posts as part of my subscribed feed. (Lemmy might be better about boosting the content of low-traffic communities in their algo.) Consolidating to one community or the other makes sense to me--no preference which, either.
