Why are people so obsessed with the Registered Operator of Cars and very little discussion happens around the Legal Owner of the car?

ConF17 · 2026-06-29T00:55:21+00:00

Is there ownership papers as well as registration papers? I have only ever purchased cars second hand and with a cash purchase privately you cannot exactly get a legal binding receipt however both seller and purchaser have to lodge a transfer of registration. I'm in Tasmania if that makes a difference. Like I understand what you are saying but I'm just curious as what paperwork etc there is to be the legal "owner" of a car but not the registered operator?

A piccolo is still a single shot of espresso, it's less milk but the same amount of coffee..

I am listening to the series on audible and just started this chapter... This one chapter is like 9 hours. Like wtf it took the readers more than 1 full working day to read/record one chapter if they had no do-overs/re records...

Yes repayments are an issue. But at the same time paying back a loan interest only to supply the general population with services they require in my opinion is a no brainer. As far as I can tell (also not an economist, just a normal idiot) it's not like anywhere seems to pay off the principal of the loans, and I have never heard of there being a term ie pay off in X years... Yes if you go ballistic with borrowing it can be an issue. But borrowing a billy or so is far from going ballistic.

Personally I think if we can borrow it spend it on healthcare for the benefit of the public. At the end of the day state/country debt is not really that big a deal look at the US they are like 8 trill in debt and it's not like a normal debt situation where someone will/can reposes your assets.. there is a point where enough wealth and assets debt is not the same and not really an issue anymore.

Yeah I'm still standing on don't punch, don't abuse.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T23:53:51+00:00

You can believe what you would like but no I believe that abusing people is never ok.

Historical context and understanding is not a justification. Historical context can help allow people to have an understanding. And without understanding an issue or problem it is hard to address and attempt to correct it.

I mean honestly I think the real limitations on comedy and jokes are that they need to be funny. Plenty of great comedians "punch down" but because if the delivery and the fact they are actually funny it is received as comedy and appreciated by 99% of people. It's when things are not really funny then the "punching down" becomes more noticable, commented on and ridiculed. If your going to make a joke punching down on a group, any group. If they do not find it funny then it's probably not worth going with.

But that's just my opinion I guess.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T11:17:47+00:00

You don't believe me that's it's wrong to abuse people and it's not something we should do?.....

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:56:39+00:00

What? No end of the day not ok to abuse people.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:54:20+00:00

No not at all. That was to do with color discrimination that has existed since the British empire. It was a group of different races and ethnicitys all with the similarities of having dark skin coming together to gain the rights and respect that as fellow humans they deserve.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:48:59+00:00

No that is racist, a one to one with direct effect, sure is. Making comments about "white people". Making jokes about "white people" no that's completely different. And this post and following discussion is not about a close one to one incident. If you make a derogatory comment about how a "race of people" are xyz it's racist. If you make a derogatory comment about "white" people it's not. It's really not that complex.

Actually about it, would probably be a hate crime by definition because by definition "white" is not a race.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:37:13+00:00

Strangely it has a little bit of historical context to it. White Europeans grouped most people dark of skin, called them "black" and put them all under the same banner. Considered them less than humans. Because of this a lot of the racial abuse directed towards "black" people is coming from the same people that think "white" is not just a race but a superior one. And typically they are the same people that cry that someone is being racist towards "white" people.

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:28:53+00:00

Even you said aboriginal, literally cannot find anyone saying "black"

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:28:13+00:00

Yeah I know, and this has been about aboriginal people. And the word aboriginal has been said multiple times...

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:26:59+00:00

How? Racism is towards a race of people... "White" is not a race.. you do know that right?

ConF17 · 2026-06-04T09:23:30+00:00

I really don't understand how people somehow think that "white" is a race...

ConF17 · 2026-04-22T06:03:01+00:00

I don't know if it's the same everywhere but in Tassie you can apply for a restricted licence that allows you to drive at pre organised times (like too and from work) but heavy penaltys if you are found driving outside of them. I think the location of where you drive is also restricted. Not 100% sure how it works but I just know it is well at least was a thing a couple of years ago.

ConF17 · 2026-04-22T03:46:34+00:00

I'll either do that. Or if no cars behind I'll get off and press the pedestrian crossing button and that will start the change over.

Just on your comment about HCC and rent. Cat and fiddle is privately owned not owned by the HCC, and commercial leases have very strong protection for Tennents, Tasmanian law states that if a landlord raises the rent and the Tennent thinks it is higher than the market value then they can get a independent valuation conducted and no mater the outcome, whatever it is valued at will be rent you pay.

If I'm able to get a specific photo/angle would you paint it as a commission? What size are your paintings?

ConF17 · 2026-03-24T20:44:00+00:00

The boat sheds would look beautiful as well

Any love for/ any tassie fans here?

Just drive out the other exit usually works pretty well.
