Why is the indigenous voice to Parliament so controversial?

I don’t think a lot of the public understand that the point of it is to give indigenous people a voice on indigenous issues. I think a lot of people believe it’s giving disproportionate indigenous representation into all issues.

Please correct me if I am wrong - my research on what the voice actually is extends to remembering a podcast I heard six months ago when I made up my mind that I thought it was something I wanted to vote yes on and have drowned out a lot of the noise on it since.

Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?

I love it. It’s missing a lot of the things I disliked about the other place which is fantastic. It’s reasonably barebones by comparison and I am totally fine with it.

The only issue I have is some of my interests aren’t represented here (or I haven’t found them yet) and that’s something that will come with time or me actually putting in a bit of effort to create. Not the platform’s fault.

How do I learn to plan meals and cook?

YouTube will be your friend for the how to cook. Though myself I learnt heaps from a book called The 4 Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss. There’s also How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman that covers a lot.

As for what to cook? I’ve found the easiest way for me has been to batch cook (or meal prep). You cook up many servings of something and then eat it over the course of a week. I find it easier to stick to because it’s less work to just heat something up, rather than cook every night.

A good framework on what to cook is using a basis of meat + veggies + starch (noodles/rice/bread/etc) + flavour. Think of what you like and you can break it down into these categories. Then experiment within this. It’s not comprehensive but it’s a handy tool.

This specific piece is there to inform people and there are a lot interested. Also will get a lot of clicks.

It’s a huge topic for pop culture and although a lot of stories don’t go too in-depth with it (although The Guardian did last week) it also has relevance as economic news.

And really, it’s nice to see something that’s not bad sprinkled in amongst the usual doom and gloom of the news.
