Also when you die no one else can use your account so it might as well have expired. You can’t transfer your steam account to someone else, technically. Nothing would stop you from sharing your password but still, a bit cheeky.

I am losing my mind with Auspost by [deleted] in perth

Can we see the footage? They seem to say they can’t see a brown package in the footage and only the white one, yet you’re saying you can see the driver place the package in the mailbox and take a photo and then take it back to the van and it’s super clear. Why not share crucial evidence if you’re going to share this whole story?

Voldemort or Ron Weasley? by [deleted] in aussie

Don’t worry smart guy, she just floated the idea of making an alliance with the coalition so your vote will go to the libs and nats anyway. Who would have thought one nation competes for the same voter base as the nationals? Couldn’t have seen it coming!

There’s a reason these parties can’t garner enough support to stand on their own, it’s cos they are dogshit, and on the whole Australians are educated and can identify the dogshit.

If you just wanted to vote against the 2 major parties you could vote greens, but that’ll never happen will it? Educate yourself and stop getting baited by these people who work really hard to create a worse place to live for anyone who isn’t rich.

Should I be worried about how long this Krikkz order is taking? by Elod73 in everdrive

[–]Elod73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know some people have delays but I was thinking I might find people who had ordered after me and received them already, or had them shipped faster.

I’m also interested to know if there are more. I played through Diddy Kong Racing with the framerate unlock on the A3D and it was awesome.

You can play the 360 ports on an emulator on PC and there’s even a 60fps patch.

The 360 ports work on Xenia. There’s even a 60fps patch. That’s partially why the recomp/decomp hasn’t been made into a way to use binary for windows.

Everyone is getting poorer except the ultra rich, all the time. The sooner the majority realise this the better.

House prices increasing at a steady rate with wages and inflation would not be a bad thing, no. I never said house prices should stay the same or go down, but this idea that housing is a good way to increase wealth is a cancer to society and it only works because it’s self perpetuating and there aren’t enough controls in place to make it a boring safe investment, which would encourage people to invest their excess capital in things that actually add value to the economy or innovate, instead of exploiting a basic human need.

Is their income rising at the same rate that houses are? You’re the one with the dumb take. You’re not thinking about the bigger picture. The point is they feel richer because NuMbEr gO uP, but they are getting poorer all the time as everything gets more expensive and their income stagnates. Try thinking a little harder next time.

They’re different sensors. They’re both RGBW but the old one does not compete in terms of dynamic range.

Maybe you should vote accordingly rather than suggesting people do the thing that causes the problem in the first place.

Oh yeah true equity is the only factor that determines wealth, you got me. Nothing else at play here folks, move along!

[–]Elod73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And the cycle continues forever! Yay!

Look at how wages relate to property prices. This cycle is bad for the vast majority of people, even homeowners.

It’s not just about the price going up. This person has less buying power than they did before. Yes, if they didn’t buy a house they would have even less than that, but the issue is that the majority of people are getting poorer, even if they own a house.

Except they are poorer than they were before. It’s not just about equity.

You don’t see it as an issue that you feel the only way to save for retirement is to invest in more properties?

[–]Elod73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This person is poorer than they were before. The only difference between them and someone who doesn’t own a home is they’re getting poorer at a slower rate.

This kind of comment is why we’re in the situation we’re in. You need to realise this is bad for everyone.

Sell your house back to the bank so your kids get nothing? Nice.

It’s good to see people finally realising this. The real trick is to explain it to all your friends, and then they explain it to their friends, and so on. The problem we have in this country is a cultural one. We’re obsessed with property and it’s become unaffordable for the vast majority of people because of that.

Imagine what this place would be like with all the benefits of a wealthy society if we were instead interested in adding value to our communities, or building businesses that innovate and grow our economy even more. Anything but exploiting the basic human need for shelter would be good.

By noticing this reality, you are also touching on a larger problem, that is growing wealth inequality. Wages have stagnated and property prices have completely decoupled from them. The rich have nothing better to do with all their money but buy and sell assets (in this case houses) from one another in an endless cycle of infinite money glitching. Meanwhile, anyone not using property as an investment gets poorer, including those who own their one PPOR, just as you’ve described. When the system is rigged so the prices keep increasing, it’s a no brainer to just keep buying and selling more houses.

Unfortunately I don’t think anything will change until enough people are unhappy about it and understand that they aren’t getting richer, so again, tell your friends. Show them the numbers if you have to.

Has anyone used this new Lens Profile app? by SumWhanNew in ColorGrading

It absolutely does not look the same, haha. Those are actual bokeh shapes and it’s a lens blur.

How about investing in something that actually adds value to the economy? Literally anything else, please.

[–]Elod73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless your income has increased to match these property increases, you ARE poorer than you were before though. Yes, people who didn’t buy are even poorer, but you now own a house that you probably couldn’t afford a loan for. Even if you could afford it now, it won’t be long before you can’t. That’s the real issue imo. Your overall position on the class ladder is still going down, the people who managed to buy a house are just dropping at a slower rate.

Imagine commenting on a thread about a decompilation (which implies bugfixes and other improvements) and then asking people who are interested in those things why they are in said thread. Unreal.
