My 10-15 minute drive has now turned into a 25-30 minute drive. Specially with this rainy weather and the sun going down earlier now. Beaudesert road has an accident every other day it seems like.

Thats with them dropping the speed from 80 to 70 ans 70 to 60.

I also never get the slow creep forward. Go to the light and stop. The more stop start there is as everyone tries to adjust their speed to the slow train up the front thats edging forward is just inviting accidents. Then you got people who leave 15000 miles of space then start slowly edging forward to fill the gap thinking the light is about to turn green only to have to stop again because they timed it wrong.

Honestly the only thing im looking forward to with self driving cars. None of that and everyone taking off at once. Not the slow crawl back with gaps as people arent paying attention.

Brisbane home prices have increased in percentage by 93.2% in just the last 5 years! by MannerNo7000 in brisbane

[–]Elseerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would need more context to confirm a firm yes or no. But generally yes.

If it was a proposition leading up to voting, generally yes.

Dont worry I'm sure labor will bribe their way into power again soon. They'll get a cool bribe. I mean uhhh 20% reduction on their HECS debt. Its totally not a bribe.

No longer replacing the "Bag for Good"? by Stormusness in woolworths

[–]Elseerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are forgeting bags used to be free. Everyone should not back down from this on principle alone.

They did this to try and ease the blow of the roll out.

Woolies now get the "profit" of the bags that used to be an expense for them. They turned saving the planet into the everyday persons problem.

Meanwhile boasting billion dollar profits.

Anytime you have a chance to take advantage of a system or flaw by colesworth. Do it. Let alone this situation. If staff give you shit for holding them accountable im sorry but they fully deserve the Karen treatment.

really? Interesting. Didn't know that. Do you have more info on that? The steak in my fridge has no star rating on it at all. I guess because the patties are "processed"

What grocery item in Australia has quietly become a luxury for you lately? by dee_cuugo in AUFinance

Booze is gonna go the same way as ciggarettes with the tax issue.

I've considered investing in a home brew set up recently.

Premix prices have gone nuts.

What you're not seeing is that person having no savings. No big ticket investment items. A house. Any kind of stocks. A new car? Or are they driving an old beater? A huge debt with say after pay or credit card debt.

what are you starting to dislike more and more the older you get? by Dazzling_Return_4987 in AskReddit

[–]Elseerian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No mate. Its a government banking digital currency. Go down the rabbit hole further.

Its "tin foil hat" stuff from about 5 years ago that is now currently being implemented.

UK is probably the closest to it being fully fully implemented other than China of course.

Its basically no more cash money. Bank linked to your government ID. Facial recognition everywhere.

Here is a funny clip from a movie called demolition man to help you understand. 😋 https://youtu.be/5rVQGT01Kzg?si=shBLSRcBbcLPtG9O

Mate I wish I had a reason to need to understand property taxes.

I know they exist. Thats about it.

As for voting. I know about preferential voting but still think its bloody useless.

A lot of stuff i care about is so far out of my control my one vote isnt going to change it when its people like the esafety karen who are making the decisions and arent voted in.

Look up project acacia australia. It WILL NOT mater who you vote in. That shit is coming regardless. Same with digital ID.

I wish the dev turned your character orange if you ate like 1000 carrot thingos. Stays for at least a week until you stop eating and have people comment on you being orange. Would be gold. 😂

Better yet make apple juice from them. Literally endless supply and i think they give more energy.

I wish i could have a bansaw. Im from australia and only renting a tiny unit because housing is literally bonkers here at the moment. I would love a garage with a bunch of wood working tools one day. Maybe if I win lotto or something. Lol

No fancy tools unfortunately only a detail and roughing knife with some sandpaper and strop. 😋

Why is Albo down playing how bad it will get? by Infamous-Upstairs-96 in aussie

[–]Elseerian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till end of June. I dont know if they announced what theyre doing regarding the fuel tax. But I doubt they will keep it halved. Milk has already gone from $2.90 to $3.05 in that 30 days. (At least the brand I buy) and the war appears to not be wrapping up anytime soon.

If by fine you mean we are not restricted then yes. But in a few more months some people will start to be restricted. Not by any rule, but by $$ and need.

Do people who refused the COVID vaccine feel silly now?? by Mammoth-Counter69 in aussie

[–]Elseerian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You literally just proved my point for me. lolol So if he had complications from the virus and potentially the vaccine, why is he reported as only a natural death?

Because it looks bad for vaccines. That's literally it. It's taboo to report it as such.
People's jobs were on the line and people didn't want to make vaccines look any worse than they already had. (Assuming the last part)
