  • Where to volounteer if I don't have time?

  • You could look into volunteering at charity opshops, aged care, soup kitchens, firefighting, picking up trash in parks and cleaning up water ways, animal shelters, after school activities

  • Wildlife cam setups?

  • I would think you would need a wifi trail cam or something more permanent using buried cable.

  • My experience is that GPs vary wildly in quality of care but I do believe that there is pretty wide support from them to be able to provide diagnosis. The situation is now at a point that the backlog is overflowing into the hospital and mental health wards and putting more pressure on the already buckling healthcare system.

    I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD but I was looking into it a few years ago and had a 9 month wait for an expensive psych. Found out it was a tumor causing my problems, so I didn't move forward with the diagnosis.

  • I don't know. I just know that they provide assistance with navigating the diagnosis and paperwork.

    I don't know what state OP is in but more and more states are allowing GPs to conduct diagnosis due to the huge backlog/waitlist there is for ADHD diagnosis(NSW, SA and I think QLD). The waitlist for public psychs is usually something crazy like 8-12 months. There is a big push to address the long and expensive diagnosis process.

  • Sounds like you are in Australia. You can contact the ADHD Foundation helpline for assistance with diagnosis and help filling out paperwork.

  • I live in the bush and only go into town once a week, so I usually bulk buy and plan meals. I also get cut off during flooding, so if it's the rainy season and a risk of flood I stock up.

  • What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?

    Jump

  • Not entirely no.

    "

    Scholars primarily use the term to refer to classical liberalism.

    British liberalism is now organised between two schools;

    • the social liberalism of the Liberal Democrats (member LI, ALDE) and their counterpart the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland (member LI, ALDE),
    • and the classical liberalism of the Conservative Party which was adopted in the late 1970s by the late former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism_in_the_United_Kingdom

    Neoliberalism is a more contemporary version of classical liberalism

  • What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?

    Jump

  • Liberalism in America refers to social liberalism. IE: justice, government management of social services(health, education, welfare, infrastructure). In this scenario, the government looking after its citizens.

    Liberalism in the rest of the world refers to Neoliberalism. IE: capitalism on a pedestal, privatization of public services, limited government intervention in all areas(business, labour, environment, health, education). In this scenario, private business and "the free market" determine what is and isn't good(IE profit is the greatest good).

  • Does anyone think that a bunch of Computer Science/Software Engineering graduates unable to find jobs could result in increased cybercrime?

  • What are the alternatives to commodity housing?

    Jump

  • From what I have read in the past, there are different models that different coops follow. Most have a limit on the number of dwellings, both from the government and coop planning, if they have hit the max number you would have to purchase from an existing member. From the coop properties I've looked at, they can be well below market rate but that's because you are buying into a community and there are expectations and responsibilities not found in non-coop living. A little like American HOAs.

    There are some coops that have strict requirements to join, like womens only coops or some that follow certain beliefs(environmental, political or spiritual and some can feel a bit cult-like). You can't demand market rates when you have such heavy restrictions and demands of property owners.
