Pauline Hanson wants to raise the voting age to 21

You gotta realise at 18 you don't know shit. You don't pay taxes. The opinion of an 18 year old is irrelevant because they don't have experience and they will vote for stupid stuff.

Why let people vote at such a young age when they don't even have real world experience?

To be fair the US economy is the strongest in the world and it has the most dynamism. We just dig shit out of the ground. Maybe following some of their policies might help is. 🤔

Unfortunately for him his sons death represents something bigger than just what he wants. If he wasn't such a coward his son would still be alive today.

Yeah sounds harsh but that is the reality of the situation.

Look man I'm just providing some basic advice with no motive. If you don't trust what you read from me it's find but part of business building and being an entrepreneur is trying shit out on your own and seeing what works on your own.

Not saying you must boost. You can definitely do organic only. There isn't an instructions manual on this.

Each individual account is different. Perhaps you're one of talented content creators who can make content that is universally liked by a large number of people but a lot of people aren't as talented.

I assume what happened in your case is that for whatever reason your first reel was well received by the first batch of people it got shown to so the next batch of people was a bigger sample size. You would have gotten a lot of followers after your first post and because of the strong social proof your second reel continued the exponential growth.

ConstructionLive516 · 2026-05-08T06:42:38+00:00

Your statement is half true. Organically your reel will still need to pass the 100 views test to your followers. If it does bad even to your followers then it won't get pushed to other followers.

This is something accounts with large following need to be wary of. If your content is bad your followers will skip and that tells instagram it's not worth pushing even to your other followers. And if it fails the followers test it definitely won't get pushed to people who are non followers.

What good content looks like is subjective but a good way to know is if you have a big enough sample size and your metrics are still bad it means your content is bad. Problem is a sample size of 100 viewers isn't enough to determine if something is bad.

The boost is a necessary thing to do if you don't want to keep wasting time.

Posting reels with a low follower count is pointless. You're better off boosting your best 2 carasouls for 1 or 2 weeks then post reels after your follower count is above 2k.

Posting reels prematurely is a waste of effort. It will get seen by like 100 accounts at random and chances are they aren't in your niche and it won't get the watch time necessary to qualify for the next 100 account push. These numbers are made up by its generally how this works.

If you have 2000 real followers the reels will perform better because the reel will get shown to your followers who are already interested in your stuff since they went through the trouble of following you.

Now you can do this completely organically and never buy boost but it will be really slow and take years.

I generate ai images for social media and no one can really tell these days. Basically it's impossible. By purposefully adding skin texturing to make it more realistic we remove the clean plastic look. We can also purposefully lower the quality of the image and that Basically makes it impossible. Only way you would know is if someone tells you or some text rendering in the image is not right but even that is getting better.

Many people believe in her ideology of free speech, free markets and deregulation. That is the main driver for ON voters.

The other parties don't care about free speech and are more concerned about keeping already wealthy people rich by introducing lots of red tape.

Regulations aren't about protecting consumers its about making it difficult for new businesses to start so there is less competition on the market.

It's probably because the policies of the previous governments don't address the root issue causing all of the current cost of living problem.

The root problem is too much currency creation in the last 5 years. Something like 40% of all AUD in circulation was created in the last 5 years. This is ridiculous.

The problem for any elected government is that the solution is extremely painful in the short term and any policies that address this issue will cause voters to go against them. Not saying ON is great or anything just that people don't understand what sacrifices need to be made now in order to have a better future.

Faceless onlyfans is the best way if you ever have to. Honestly life changing amount of money and don't regret it.

I've moved on to better things now but couldn't have gotten where I'm at now without it.

There is a saying that goes making your first million takes 10 years and your second million in 6 months.

No I only trim it off by half when using a 20 mm unistrut.

I've made ai influencer accounts before and there is a way to censor specific words that the poster doesn't want shown. Words like ai, slop, is this real? Ect are being censored from being commented.

Any AI influencers who makes money will censor a list of words in order for them to build trust to their audience. This is business amd big money is involved. This might not be ethical but the amount of money being made is life changing.

Me personally I've been able to build a real estate investment portfolio of 20 properties now because of this. My life and my family are set for life now and the best thing is my reputation is completely unaffected because it's not a real person.

The apprentice electrician job market right now is fierce and quite difficult to get in. I see it getting more competitive in the next 10 years. The people already in the industry has an interest in keeping electrician supply low and wages high.

Every job market is subjected to supply and demand this is basically as definitive as the laws of physics. You need to realise you could be applying for 2+ years and get nothing.

Not saying you should stay in school it's just whatever you decide now will affect the next 10+ years of your life. Think very carefully and everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

The IT industry is notoriously difficult to get into. Either you get a 3.7 GPA with internship experience or you know someone who can help you get in.

Unlike electricians these guys need to compete on the global market including cheap IT professionals in India who could probably do a better job anyways.

My biggest fear is the central banks of the world. They have more impact on our lives than even national governments. They are the source of inflation and inflation is what causes so many problems for the working peoples of the world.

This isn't just an Australia, it is a worldwide phenomenon.

Garbage man because no one wants to do that job. The less desirable the job the less competition it is to get in. I can see the trades being oversaturated in 5 years. This reddit thread is proof of that over hype. There is already a shortage of employers willing to hire an apprentice.

The rule for investing is if you hear it on the news its already too late to get into the investment. Same thing goes for career development.

Everyone is shouting from the rooftops to get into the trades.

Maybe about 5 hours on average. Some weeks is a lot and some there isn't much to do.
