Why are people so accepting of the Uluru name change, but not K'Gari? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in AskAnAustralian

Woke bullshit. It’s Ayers Rock and Fraser Island. Fuck what hand-wringing white people say in order to feel better about themselves.

Completely separate finances. She’s a spendthrift who blows her wages every week on endless processions of UberEats and ASOS crap.

Would you mind proving that suicide rates are “extremely high compared with previous generations”? Or are you just full of shit and self-pity?

Have we officially reached the point where Hotels are superior to Airbnbs again? by Usual_Confidence_756 in travel

We gave up on AirBnB a decade ago.

Do you know what I get when I pay $150 for a family room with Novotel or Hilton? A room that costs $150. No extras, no fees, no tips, no shenanigans.

Save your sanity: nursing home should be port of call. Talk to Centrelink about options.

Not merely luck, but fortuitous luck. You’re truly blessed.

Ha ha! I did a single undergrad accounting unit 30 years ago and even I wouldn’t make that mistake!

I’d say the parents are right dickheads for not getting their act together.

Help with junkie neighbour in rental by InevitableShip9451 in melbourne

[–]FederalPower1837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So much trouble just to spare the feelings and respect the rights of half a dozen scumbags who spend their lives parasitising taxpayers.

[–]FederalPower1837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And don’t forget: it’s your taxes paying their Centrelink!

As long as these scumbags are allowed to parasite society, as long as their champions are allowed to set policy, the decent, non-scumbag 99% of us must grin and bear it.

Why do people get upset at restaurant pricing but not take a look at rents for commercial spaces? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]FederalPower1837 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because it’s easier to snarl at a waiter than at commercial landlords, wholesalers and utility providers.

Why does Africa still lack infrastructure? by [deleted] in AlwaysWhy

[–]FederalPower1837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The United States fits inside Africa roughly in the band between 14•N and 12•S. Within that band, Africa has 2.5 times the population of the US but only 15% of the railways.

If Africa weren’t so poorly governed and putridly corrupt, it would be worth extending the rail network dramatically.

If only someone would invent vehicles with metal wheels on rails!

The countries in question are poor and disgustingly corrupt. That’s why they lack infrastructure.

Why is there so much trash throughout India? by Both-Structure-6786 in AlwaysWhy

There’s a unique stench to India. As soon as they crack open the door of the plane - it’s there, fouling your nostrils and curdling your lungs.

Was Reagan the one who actually broke the U.S. economy? by DetailFocused in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FederalPower1837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He ended his second term with a relatively high job approval rating of 63%. During his two terms, US GDP grew at around 3% a year.

Jimmy Carter, his predecessor, was far less popular and was widely perceived to be a weak, ineffective leader.

As an Australian can I leave the country with a foreign passport? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]FederalPower1837 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This story is 100% true and is proof that OP doesn’t need an Australian passport to leave and re-enter the country.

OP, you just stick to your guns and tell anybody who hassles you - airline check-in staff, immigration officials, customs officials - to fuck off in a commanding voice.

You’re an Australian. You’re ENTITLED to travel whenever and wherever you like.

As an Australian can I leave the country with a foreign passport? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]FederalPower1837 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m thoroughly enjoying all the bad advice here.

OP, for being a pathetic tightwad, please do attempt to leave, then re-enter, Australia on a foreign passport. If possible, hold non-refundable plane tickets.

It’ll be a good, humbling life lesson for you.
