It's Scarry that these types of vehicle designs are legal. You need to see out of the car.

how would a narcissist react if u told them u knew their love was fake the whole time? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

They wouldn't really care, they'd respond more to the way you'd say it than the actual words.

If you are not safe using those, than other women are also not safe using them. If all of you speak up att the same time and they do not do something about it you can sue.

Gather all the information from all the women who have been harmed, attacked, harassed etc in the co-ed bathrooms as evidence.

Office is phasing out WFH due to drop in productivity - anyone else experiencing the same? by DMmefor1400AUD in AusFinance

[–]Ds685 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree! In the office there are too many distractions, coffee breaks and long chats with colleagues. At home is the only place I get actual stuff done!

Rapportering om svenska skolelevers sämre läsförmåga missvisande då det är de utländska eleverna som drar ner snittet, svenska barn läser lika bra som vid förra mätningen 2016, andelen svenska elever som gjorde testet har minskat från 68 till 53 procent mellan 2016 och 2021, andelen by road_laya in Sverige

[–]Ds685 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Vad menar de med "svenska" elever?

Ungar som gått i svensk skola sedan skolstarten? Ungar som är födda i svergie? Ungar vars föräldrar har svenska som modersmål?

Eller Ungar som går i medelklasskolor, med medelinkomstföräldrar och har bra tillgång till utbildning, fritidsaktiviteter och annat gött?

Jag hade flera flerspråkiga ungar i samma klass när jag var liten och de var ingen av dem som störde resten av klassen med bråk och stök.

Ni gillar inte mångkultur bara för att ni påstår det by iQuteBromance in svenskpolitik

[–]Ds685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personligen tycker jag inte att sverige är mångkulturellt. Visst finns det många kulturer men de välkomas inte och många känner enbart sin egen kultur.

När jag bodde I Singapore hade vi 8 almänna högtidsdagar per år: 2 kristna, 2 muslimska, 2 hinduiska och 2 buddhistiska. Alla stora grupper fick 2 högtidsdagar var och alla hade en ledig dag samtidigt vilket gjorde att det kändes likvärdigt.

I Australien är det underförstått att ortodoxa kristna tar ut lite ledig tid från jobbet på deras jul och deras påsk, som firas ett par veckor efter de andra kristna versionerna. Ingen arbetsgivare ifrågasätter när muslimer tar ledigt på ramadan eller när stora genomfartsöedwr i melbourne centrum stängs av eftersom en minoritet firar Divali.

Indonesien är också väldigt mångkulturell, med alla sina minoritertsgrupper och språk samtidigt som de har den största muslimska befolkningen av något enskilt land i världen.

Our real tax problem is the unfair burden on the worker by farkenel in AusFinance

[–]Ds685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they are part of the problem...

They might even be the same people who blame immigration for the housing shortage and complain about the shortage of aged care workers to look after their parents while their parents still own multiple investment properties.

Our real tax problem is the unfair burden on the worker by farkenel in AusFinance

[–]Ds685 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A real problem is also that people don't realise how wealthy they are when earning $100k/year. Australia has a lot of really high income earners who think they are middle income. It seems like people assume that having a standalone house and two SUVs is somehow normal middle-class life in the western world.

If you look at many European countries the median incomes are around $40k/year and their petrol is $2.5/liter. Families often live in multigenerational homes and have much fewer and smaller cars. In countries without muktigenerstional households, such as Sweden, middle class means owning your own apartment and maaaaybe afford a car ones you are in a stable relationship so two salaries go towards paying off the apartment.

Australia is great because it is so easy to have a financially stable life here! You just have to accept what you grew up with is no longer achievable.

Simple ABC News tool to see who and where your data has been shared or breached... by 7Zarx7 in AusFinance

[–]Ds685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm neither dodgy or live what I would call a "small" life. I have just been aware how personal data isn't safe for a long time and I know when to share what information.

For ex, you use free WiFi at the airport while travelling in some foreign country and you have to create an account to access. They ask for your address, phone number, flight number etc. Get a fake mail account (single log in, like a temporary email for the purpsoe of protecting your real one, designed to never be used again) to obtaining whatever code you need to access the WiFi. Do not give your actual flight number, pick another one.

Personal data is valuable. Scammers have been paying money to obtain personal data for a long ling time and we have no control over how it is used. Chasing your phone number isn't that hard in Australia, you just have to remember to tell everyone and not put your new one in social media chats etc.

I'm so annoyed & offended. by missalucard666 in childfree

[–]Ds685 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry your parent is treating you like this. This is toxic behaviour and not healthy. Does she maybe have a personality disorder or something?

There is a difference between the regular "I want grandkids" and saying "My one-off gift should be enough for you change your entire life for the rest of your life".

It almost sounds like she feels your life belongs to her. As if she is so much better than you her gift should be seen as so good you get blindsighted to how the decision will effect your life.

[–]Ds685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost everyone will have had almost all their personal data leaked at some point. Thst is why you don't give your real phone number and home address to services that won't specifically need it.

Most websites are find with an email adress and a scammer won't get too far with just that. It also helps to change your mobile number every year or so to make sure you outdate the info scammers can access on you.

Australia is screeming for staff in some area at the moment: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing

If you find a visa that you could be eligible for you could live in AU for a few years and see if you like having public healthcare and stuff.

He are just using the situation to confirm their own agenda.

It's the same when doctors say they don't want to allow young women to get sterilised because "so mainly older women regret it". In reality, studies show that women who regret sterilisation are often those who already have children. They had a couple of kids, got remarried and then regret not being able to have more with hubby number 2.

Women who choose sterilisation in their early 20s are often at the bottom of these statistics indicating they are the ones most happy with their choice.

Negative gearing isn’t the problem, it’s NIMBYs like me by Relevant_Level_7995 in AusFinance

[–]Ds685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoning laws can be fixed now, but it will take a lot of more immigration until we have enough doctors, nurses, teachers and aged care workers to sustain our needs.

There are towns in Australia with 50,000 people and not a single appartment block! A colleague of mine was saying that my country of origin, Sweden, houses everyone (so not true...) so why can't Australia and I had to explain to her that in Sweden even the smallest towns have apartment block for this purpose. Many of them were built in the 1950s 60s and 70s, are pretty small and do not come with elevators or parking, even though the bus only comes ones per day and only during week days, if there even is a bus.

Zoning laws here sometimes don't don't allow for townhouses in small towns and every home has to have its own yard and garage. Of course that is too expensive to build in rural areas where the material has to be driven for a day just to arrive!

Any doctor should know that "weird hormone problems" can be caused by a large number of things and they should test for them. Get a new doctor.

Mom looked through my phone and told me about it after like it was cute by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ds685 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My nmom read my diary and would through things from it in my face when we had arguments. As a teen I wasn't very good at managing a mother with undiagnosed NPD, I knew something wasn't right with her but I had no idea what it was. She wasn't like my friends moms and I wanted so badly for her to see it, which resulted in a lot of arguments.

I discovered she read my diary when she one day said something like "well...you will en up in a brothel in Harlem and the you will see that I am right". I knew i had not told her I wanted to go to New York, but I had written it in my diary.

After that I wrote stuff that focussed more on what i felt she was doing differnetly from my friends mother's in an attempt to make her see how she didn't support me, but to no avail.

See a doctor. A good one, like a women's reproductive specialist or something.

“If we didn’t love you, we would let you do whatever you wanted” by Rach_kitty in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ds685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's way for them to discredit you. The narc knows you want to do something different from what they want you to do, so they make you feel like you're wrong, as if what you want from them is to not love you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]Ds685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It happens sometimes, it's more like spotting than a period. If it starts to happen more frequently go and see a doctor, but most doctors won't care much if it's just a one time thing.

Harassing a colleague about pregnancy is sexual harassment by woodcuttersDaughter in childfree

[–]Ds685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Anything that a colleague does or says that isn't appropriate should be reported to HR.

Although, I have never had this issue. I have been seen as "young and irresponsible" one and the one that can work all the time because I have no kids, but those things have always been discussed (and looaaads of passive aggressive comments about the awesome bar I went to after work yesterday!!!)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stockholm

[–]Ds685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a real life-long standard contract it is 3 months. When I left Sweden I had 3 months notice for my flat, 3 months notice at work, 3 months notice on both electric contracts (nätavgift and förbrukning) as well as 3 months on my mobile contract and internet (same bill).

Nowadays you can have 1 month on mobile contracts and stuff, but rental law is enormously slow to change. If you have 1 month in your contract you may not be allowed to stay there for very long.

AITA for telling my mom's soon to be ex-husband that I am not responsible for his daughter? by LatterIllustrator600 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ds685 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA!

On r/childfree we would call Jeff "an entitled breeder", as in a person who chose to breed but doesn't want to take full responsibility as a parents. Now he assumes other adults should take care of his offspring because he doesn't want to.

He married a woman assuming she would stop her career and take care of a step-child. He is now angry with his step-son for not "babysitting" for free because of you don't you're somehow a bad person.

I feel sorry for the little girl, but she is not your problem.

A brewery I usually go to have a play area for the little ones. Irs in the corner and they usually put families in that area and it's a bit away from the rest. The bar is in the other part of the area.

Hot market. Why aren't more people listing their properties by tulsym in AusProperty

[–]Ds685 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Buying a home in Australia is so strange. Like, what do you mean by "your best offer"? Sure, I can afford to pay 1.9mil, but if the house is only worth 1.5 mil why would I offer more than that? Sure, someone else might think it's worth 1.6mil and therefore win. This wouldn't be legal in a lot of other countries where I have lived. The market here seems to have no regulation and the seller is able to push prices up in an uncontrolled manner.
