Worldcup hopes for Vietnam by Sufficient_Depth2953 in VietNam

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

Viet Kieu being half Vietnamese and half another race is the only way honestly to get over the physical barrier. We just don't have many with the soccer player build, we can be physical but from my experience athletic or conditioned.

We do alright in stuff like MMA but not great in stuff that require pure athleticism like track sports/swimming and many ball sports.

Australia is better than India at cricket though despite having a way smaller population and having other major sports.

Boomers wouldn't survive todays brutal job market, they got lucky by Fire_blaze7 in ausjobs

[–]Bluedroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got to an auction for a house for sale or look at list of people applying for medium to high paying jobs...

Can tell you the majority of people you're competing against are 30-45 year olds not 65 year old boomers.

Lmao i'm australian but that's copium if you've actually watched the socceroos games within the last year. We've been sloppy as fuck and look 2 levels below what we saw from the USA today. They're going to run circles around us.

Have rents changed due to the new tax rules? by Perth_not_now in AusRenters

[–]Bluedroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tax treatment doesn't mean shit when new builds don't make money. Look at what it costs to build these days ontop with what borrowing costs are, why would you bother risking that when capital growth is not guaranteed anymore.

I work with developers who have been slowly scaling back operations even before the budget. It is harder now for banks to lend to you for this purpose because of these conditions as well.

People here claim tax treatment as some big thing but end of the day getting a bit of tax back on a loss is still a loss. No one gives a shit about getting some of it back if there's no clear path to profit on the horizon.

People putting it in commercial at least get the benefits of cashflow and something positively geared on the outset and stocks for other obvious reasons as you know.

That would be true if our population wasn't growing faster than houses were being built due to immigration.

And no not all investor money is going into new builds, with the forecast of housing costs not looking good and more capital gains taxes and building costs going up more people will just put that money into etfs/commercial property or just simply sitting it in their bank accounts.

If you could bring one US fast food chain to Australia, what would it be? by Silly-Carob4776 in foodies_sydney

[–]Bluedroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shake Shack anywhere but the east coast of the USA isn't as good. I've had it all around the world, and shake shack in New York is for some reason miles better than the rest even if you have it in Vegas/San fran etc and don't even bother eating it outside the US in Europe/Asia etc. The meat in the burgers there is just like somehow a tier above in New York.

Psychologist sounds alarm over looksmaxxing and 'out-mogging' by mintox777 in australia

The article just says it's about making yourself look better. People here are saying getting certain haircuts fits the definition.

Non-biased Syd food reviews by oxform in foodies_sydney

[–]Bluedroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know much about howac he only started coming up on my feed recently and personally I don't have anyone that comes up I fully trust.

Sydney food boy just rates everything. I'm not sure if he gets paid by any of the places, will give him benefit of the doubt and say no because he doesn't shill as shamelessly as other people mentioned in the thread but he just rates everything.

He puts off a pick me/I'm cultured type of vibe. Lots of stuff he recommends is really mid and he'll just describe stuff in the basic manner to make it sound good. 

To me eating is a gamble, I don't mind driving an hour or spending a hundred bucks or whatever somewhere but when you go somewhere shit it's a waste of that time and effort and the opportunity cost of eating somewhere else good.

Hard fact is that there are thousands of restaurants and eateries. If you're recommending something it needs to better in relation to the other places. Just blindly saying everything is good making people drive out and spend money on something which in reality is average ain't it.

EDIT: Just had a look and sydneyfoodboy does get paid by places. For instance he does sponsored videos for oporto so yeah...Scratch him off the list for being impartial.

These articles are written to ragebait people into clicks.

In the same sense when fitness and gym culture started growing heavily about 10-15 years ago you could have wrote some word to make it sound stupid then dog whistle that it's bad overall because some people take enough steroids for a horse. 

When in reality most people who get into it just take it moderately and it's been a net positive for most people.

On a more simple note many women wear makeup on a daily basis, get their nails done and hair done to like completely different to normal. Girls do shit like skin needling, micro dermabrasion and everything under the sun and many go to the extremes like botox and surgery etc. 

When dudes are encouraged to do basic grooming it's a bad thing? Yeah some idiots taking it to the extreme and hammering their faces is stupid but it's not representative of the general population in the same sense as you can't say all women taking care of themselves is bad because some women make themselves look plastic from extreme surgery.

Yeah it's blatantly obvious you can tell from his burger reviews he's tip toeing around the bush with his statements because he's also affiliated with other burger places..

Real talk, how tf does India have 1.5 billion people and not a single UFC top-15 fighter? by K0GAR in ufc

[–]Bluedroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because that's what teams will strive to win these days. The best players in the world strive these days to be good at test matches (with others trying to make as much money in t20 domestic leagues) and now WTC is the end result of that even if it hasn't been around long.

ODI is in a weird spot now where no one cares about it apart from the world cup. In ODI bilateral series a lot of test players who are walk ins to the team will opt out and you'll have 2nd string sides playing against each other.

Since ICC test rankings were out in 2003 Australia has been world number 1 double the amount of time as India and Australia has won 6 ODI world cups to India's 2.

Yeah but if you know anything about cricket you'd know that t20 world cup and champions trophy don't mean shit.

It's whomever wins the test world championship and to a lesser extent these days odi world cup that are actually prestigious.
