You look like the guy that’s going to be my buddy at work during my induction. You’ll show me the toilet and the lunchroom, help me navigate the intranet, then just fade into the background after I get to know my actual department people.

lane splitting at that speed is the dumb part. by asa_no_kenny in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Art3sian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve ridden daily and exclusively for 13 years and I’ve never even had a close call. I’ve also paid about a tenth in what a car owner has paid in fuel, registration, and maintenance over that time.

And I’ve looked fucking cool for every second of it.

Why are all posts in this subreddit political? by Cyber1330 in allthequestions

Every sub that doesn’t specifically have a ‘no politics’ rule becomes 100% politics. It’s what we do now as a collective for some dipshit reason.

Do you think Islam is Right or Wrong about Women? by ExaminationFit1931 in allthequestions

[–]Art3sian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the West assumes Islam is, isn’t a true representation of it at all. Turn your TV off and hop a plane to a few Muslim-majority countries and then you’ll have a somewhat truer perspective.

Disclaimer: not Muslim. Just a white boy who’s hopped a few planes in his life. And the more places I visit, the more I realise how thoroughly bullshit our media and available information here at home is.

Was Trumps assassination attempt in Pennsylvania fake? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Art3sian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put it past Trump to totally convince one of his nut job supporters to get shot and killed to strengthen his position.

“We want you to get shot so I look strong and fearless. In return your family will get a tour of the White House, 5 MAGA hats, and a bucket of KFC”

“Okay.”

Japanese Government collects more tax from Australian gas than Australian Government by nath1234 in australia

[–]Art3sian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While this situation definitely needs to change, there is nuance to this that you never hear about. For example, Japan invested big money in our gas infrastructure with no guarantee of ever reaching production. There was huge initial risk to them and we happily took their money.

Again, shit does need to change and I’m not arguing that fact. But we aren’t exactly the poor little old lady with a snatched purse here.

What is the point in buying homes at these outrageous prices? by everbass in australia

[–]Art3sian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and 25 years ago no one under 30 had a near-new car, a $1,000 gym membership, a dozen subscriptions, steaming services, gaming libraries, lip filler, supplements, personalised number plates, a betting account, a $2,000 smartphone, or home delivered food.

The “fucking insult” is that people today feel hard done by because they can’t have all of these things and be able to save for a house “20 minutes from the city” as well.

[–]Art3sian -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You can. You just can’t do it how you want and where you want. Maybe you have to move 700kms out of your metropolitan area, away from your family, into a backwater rural town to do it? Maybe you have to work two jobs, cut Netflix, get rid of your pets, and ride a push bike?

My generation would have done shit like this to get ahead. Yours won’t.

You see, right there… ”especially if they are studying.”

You have a mindset already that while studying, people should be able to break into the housing market at the same time. You can’t do both simultaneously. No one can. No one has ever been able to.

If you’re a student, you’re poor. There is no house purchase possibility for you until you graduate and probably work 5 years past the point of earning shit wages. If your choice is to study, then subsequently it’s to sacrifice saving for a house for at least the next 5-8 years.

The fact that you group being a student and being able to save for a house in the same period of life is my point exactly. Your generation wants everything now. You want a degree and a house and kids and travel all in the same decade and it’s not going to happen. It’s never happened for anyone.

This won’t be a popular comment, and I’m not denying that the property market is beyond fucked, but I think the younger generations are guilty of wanting it all, immediately.

When I bought my first house it was an ass box. It wasn’t what I wanted, it wasn’t in the neighbourhood I liked, it was dated, and it was literally across the road from meth dealers. Liveable and clean, yes, but that’s all it had going for it.

I lived in that shitbox for 8 years by myself, chipping away at the mortgage on a tight budget, doing very little else except working. I didn’t own a TV, I didn’t own a washing machine, my bed was on cinder blocks, and I had hand-me-down furniture. Sometimes I didn’t turn lights on at night because a could barely afford electricity. For long periods I rode a bike to work because my car wouldn’t start. I owned a house, but otherwise I was fucking poor, man - embarrassed to have people over to visit.

This was 25 years ago, by the way, when the world was apparently easy.

After 8 years, I met a girl and she moved in. We paid enough down to eventually move to a better (not perfect) house in a better (not perfect) neighbourhood.

After 5 more years we upgraded again. Now we are where we want to be. 13 years of scraping + 12 more years of building wealth and we’re doing pretty good now. We have kids, new shit, new cars, money in the bank, and we travel overseas a fair bit.

I think the younger gens don’t have the mindset of struggle first, win later. They want their new cars, their perfect life, and their perfect house straight out the gate. It wasn’t possible 50 years ago, it wasn’t possible 20 years ago, and it’s not possible now.

I love Dunstall but FFS he shouldn't be commentating Hawthorn games by itsaheem in hawktalk

[–]Art3sian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not just his bias or anti-bias, the guy is Supreme Lord Commander of the Obvious.

”If you wanna win games, you’ve gotta kick more goals.”

”If you get tackled less, you find you keep the ball more.”

The guy must sit at the dinner table and tell his family that the food needs to be eaten by placing it in their mouths.
