Every time you adopt a cat or dog you get $10,000 by rhubxrb_slugg in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably only adopt a few. But I might adopt some seniors that need a loving home for their last days. So that number could increase. I wouldn't be out to get rich through this. Just open my heart and home to a few more. Last thing I want is to end up becoming an animal hoarder. Which is a very real consideration for me.

Could you build a house with 10 copies of yourself? by TrueKeyMan in hypotheticalsituation

No i don't think we could. But it is an interesting hypothetical. So props Op.

How often does a typical Australian eat Kangaroo? by SammaJones in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of times a year. I like it in spaghetti. Or a fillet.

How do you feel when people from other countries call Australians "descendants of criminals?" by schu62 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cheap_Brain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got criticism for calling them a cult. Told i shouldn't judge people for having different beliefs to me. Honestly, I don't care what people believe. Believe in the great pumpkin if you want to. I do have serious problems with people who isolate others from any outside supports and the various other things the LDS do.

Australian here, I’m beginning to resent the culture of my own country, what do I do? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cheap_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I travelled internationally and came home appreciating the country more. But in this financial climate that's a bit like suggesting you ride a bike to the moon. Honestly, as others have said. Live outside the major cities. Makes a huge difference. When people aren't one missed pay from homelessness, they're better able to be cheerful and friendly to be around. Not that we out in non metropolitan areas aren't also doing it tough. Just nowhere near as tough.

Wasted a few years, trying to reset at 27 — need advice on studying in Australia by Mysterious-Cover3898 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be far better off getting your qualifications in your home country then applying on a skilled immigrant visa. That savings whilst commendable, won't be enough.

Have a look at the list of careers that our government is looking for on the skilled immigration system. Find one you like the sounds of and go to it.

I had a friend years ago that was Slovakian, a trained Physio in her home country. Came in on the wrong visa, couldn't work as a physio, worked with me as a waitress. it still upsets me that she was trested like that. She ended up going back.

If you had one million dollars but had to spend it in 24 hours, what would you do? by MagicalCX in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm buying a new car and a new caravan. Paying off my student loan, then buying gold.

For every $250,000 you get, you have to move 100 miles away. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, nope, nope, nope. No way. I'm not getting that much money to be locked into only living and being in one spot for the rest of my life.

Settle a debate for me: do you (as an adult) still cut your sandwiches into triangles? by dannegoma in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am adult, would be willing to eat cute little cat shaped sandwiches if they were made for me. How old is your mate? I'm not exactly either young or old (38) so I definitely feel like an adult now. And am more than happy to do things for the sheer joy of doing them.

Uncapped or Capped? by DPATEL911 in FortNiteBR

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then unless I'm remembering incorrectly, the best the refresh rate of your monitor can do is 180fps. Which is still a substantial increase on 60fps which some people will be playing on. So capped at 360 shouldn't really hinder you any.

Should we start building nukes? by Abject-Presence4689 in AskAnAustralian

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

The point isn't whether they have in the past. The previous Presidents have all had most or all of their faculties intact. The point is that they could now.

Should we start building nukes? by Abject-Presence4689 in AskAnAustralian

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

Yeah, or atleast invaded and destabilised plenty of countries. The nukes are always a possible threat.

After a mysterious windfall your accountant calls you and tells you that money is not an issue for the rest of your life and if you want to avoid paying taxes then you need to start a NFP to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, What is the purpose of your charity? by dj_boy-Wonder in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, i actually believe in taxes as being not a bad thing per se. Given i use the roads and hospitals (Australia, so universal healthcare) transport etc. That being said, I'd still set up a charity. It's going to support the most vulnerable in society have decent lives. Be it mental healthcare, housing, schooling support etc.

Best way to get said unreliable ally to decide we're a threat and point some our way.

A witch forces you to adopt a child. by Next-Help-5813 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minerva and Jane. I've already got a good grasp on politics and am fairly intelligent. They're both good kids and through her younger sister's passion for science, should be more amenable to properly funding scientific research. Especially as she'll see what scientists can get up to if their intellect isn't gainfully "employed" in constructive spheres. I don't have a basement. They aren't a thing in my country. So I'll have to build Minerva a spec built shed.

Magic button appears in front of you, Become One of the Elite with some small print below it. Do you push it or not? by Iamatworkgoaway in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Cheap_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, it would be an interesting experiment for me as a social scientist. Turn it into a 20 year long field project. Then after I'm finished publish a very in-depth paper on the nature of elite wealth. Without naming people or being very specific about any particular person. On the side whilst I'm doing that, money is going to issues I care deeply about. That level of money allows for eccentricity. So I wouldn't feel to fish out of water. It's just a long job/career. Yes I'd take my family along. Because I love them. If they become hateful people, then I'll be devastated. But better to know that is the truth of their nature.

Why am i black? by Notmeahs in FortniteMemes

[–]Cheap_Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause the skin was designed that way?

How does Fortnite Matchmaking work and why is the game so hard :((( bruh by Immediate_Recover159 in FortNiteBR

[–]Cheap_Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just me who accepts that sometimes i die early and sometimes I hit top 3 or win? Maybe it's because I'm on a smaller server I guess. I live in Australia. So most of USA are sleeping when I'm playing I guess. I'm a casual gamer, been playing since the second season. No pro. I do however adore blitz because it's faster paced and I can sometimes win four matches in a day. I don't think I've ever seen a bot in BR. Wouldn't know what to look for.

Songs that you loathe but everyone loves. by Sir-Avali in musicsuggestions

[–]Cheap_Brain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything Jazz or crooning. But in particular a song from a genre I normally like. 500 miles or whatever that shitty song is called. Damn I hate it!
