The marketing speak, tho. I think that angers me the most. More eco friendly than something that has zero measurable levels of eco friendly, is a low bar. It’s like saying asbestos is more eco friendly than coal carbon emissions, so therefore asbestos is eco friendly and should be celebrated. Theres zero good to their argument.
This place is the new aita, hey.
They were all great quality, although I made them. There used to be a trend where you could buy pirated copies of movies, and they’d have a cheap paper sticker on the disc, they’d be at local markets and stalls on the weekends. They were absolutely abysmal quality. Grainy, colours all oversaturated, lines all through them, super quiet sound. You couldn’t watch them. People would buy them and give them to me. But they were just trash.
When I was a kid I had a copy box that took off the copywrite protection, on vhs, and I used to tweak the vcr to pile multiple movies on one vhs. It had this system of super fast, skip fast forwarding, where you selected the number of the movie and it zapped to it. I was so young, I cannot remember how it worked. Then I got a computer and downloaded DVD shrink and DVD decryptor. You couldn’t tell the copy from the original.
I understand your worries. The wars are going to effect lots of things, supply chains etc. I’m not sure how oil will effect housing here, I’m curious how you see that effecting housing specifically? For real, Genuine question. (I’m not being snide.) The government should absolutely do all of those things, and they easily could. We do already have enough homes, it’s not as much of a shortage, more a problem that investors have hoarded up all the stock. They keep homes vacant, for prolonged periods of time to force the price of rents etc up. The government could easily tax investment properties, to tip the scale back in favour of it being a home first, and an investment second. We have enough homes, currently, and we are building enough homes to technically keep up with demand. It’s being manipulated to overinflate prices, currently, though. On census night in 2021, for example, more than a million homes were recorded as unoccupied. We could easily use homes that are vacant, or old military or mining bases. Theres options for both homeless and refugees. Theres so many options to fix the current, artificially created crisis.
It’s not refugees raising the house prices, you’ve been listening to the Murdoch propaganda, my friend. It is hard to avoid. This is literally a created system, by policy geared at benefiting investors. Have a look at how many real estate investors are in politics, currently. When you gear policy towards benefiting investors, don’t build and underfund the competition that keeps prices at bay (public housing), the system looks like this. When you hear “blame minorities / blame immigrants etc” that’s the people with their hands in the pot, trying to create a straw man, so you don’t look at them.
I know Stan has a heap on there.
Likely just double sided tape. That would gather dust where exposed, (not stuck to wires, bit) though. As I found out from doing the same thing with a super long lamp cable, in my bathroom, where we only had a heatlamp, and that sucked in summer. But also the power point was in an awkward place, so I dangled a lamp from the ceiling, but after taking it down, and being too lazy to remove the tape, now it’s fly catching tape.
There’s a monthly discount? I’m in an area where there’s no alternatives to the duopoly of evil, and I have kids with disabilities so I literally can’t get in store to shop. I’m not going to be able to avoid this. I’m annoyed.
All I do is make a list of my chosen products, in the apps, and shop the ones that are on special, only, and buy multiples to last while those products aren’t on special, I make a list, because then I just skip past everything, go straight to a simple list of everything I need. Having the list eliminates impulse buying, and has halved my grocery bill. I’m too susceptible to the mind tricks they employ to sell more to you than you need, if i go in, I’ll spend $100, every time.
Right, yeah, thanks so much for finding that info out! I absolutely love the guy. I really appreciate knowing he’s still on brand.
No. He claims he was misrepresented. He definitely didn’t say anything Israel supporting, although being centrist in this, is arguably just as bad as support, if he’s centrist.
Could you imagine a job where you could make crowds of children happily cheer, every day. That’s god tier.
I hate “don’t want to label them” with a vengeance of a thousand suns. It says so many fkd up things in those few words.
There was a lol! I wasn’t being serious! Why do I say things. I should just stop doing that.
I feel like that’s one of those things that, even if you could do it, you shouldn’t. I wasn’t really being serious, so much.
If you’re sure you want me to attempt to play mind reader, just for funsies, I suppose I could. My trauma is I had to grow up guessing what everyone was gunna do, because none of the adults were even a tiny bit safe, so I got sort of a little bit good at the guessing game, sort of. I’ve never tested it on internet strangers though.
That said, my dating history would completely oppose previous statements… So maybe I just think I’m a little bit good at something, but really I suck.
Woah. I love that explanation!
When I was younger I defined myself by the things I liked, and others similarly, you just start to see more depth and wisdom the more years you’re lucky enough to kick around, in this planet, I think. And then you start to see, mostly the stuff people like is just funneled coping mechanisms. I can now tell you what peoples traumas are, by what they like. (lol)
You are the entity that observes: Your thoughts, your feelings, your mental health and diagnosis’, your physical body, sensations, touch and the world.
Blew my mind to realise I am not my thoughts, I’m the entity that observes my thoughts. Because I feel like my thoughts. Yk. But I’m not!!
I don’t think I’m legally allowed to say it any other way, than questioned, as I am Australian.
I’m on the path to better systems than this, but as I’m too time poor, I gotta go with apps, and I just thought you might like to know I had as many songs in my Spotify Playlists and ported them over to Qobuz in seconds, if you want something quick for now. Qobuz talks you through it.
That would suggest almost all people are superficial, which doesn’t track. Contributing factors to couples having more money (opportunities etc) are things like, one person can work longer hours, while supporting the other to upskill, therefore eventually bringing in a higher income. One person can do school drop offs, the other pick ups, therefore offering less impact on one individual job spoiler, jobs are not child friendly, so needing to leave too often for a sick kid, can and does lose you a job. learning facilities, arr similarly not child friendly, your access is hugely lowered, to which, if any, courses you can study, without significant informal (free support) child care. Actual child care centres are unbelievably expensive, to the exclusion of most single parents. And that’s not even counting sharing the other typical living costs. Being single has become a huge barrier to climbing the ladder.
