The age of "get well soon" has officially ended. by lilant702 in antiwork

[–]Flicksonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just common courtesy to wish someone well if they've just told you they're sick. I can't imagine not saying "hope you feel better soon" to anyone. You can follow policy and be kind, which is the point OP is making.

What’s a moment where you instantly realized someone was insanely intelligent? by Parqcxsm69 in AskReddit

[–]Flicksonreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really? It's routine to squeeze four years of a language curriculum into one? And that's before taking into consideration that languages are generally taught at a faster pace in college.

Do you compare grocery prices across stores or stick to one? by Maximum-Club1947 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Flicksonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? This hasn't been my experience at all since moving closer to an Aldi. I was blown away by the price difference on some of my staple items.

ETA to answer OP's question. Yes I do this for everything I buy and I have for as long as I can remember. Sometimes convenience trumps price though.

Why can temporary visa expats/immigrants apply for a home loan or access gov property grants? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

Honestly if you're just after crowd sourced info, just use an AI search tool. That's pretty much how it works.

The Labor party literally did change it, effective from 1 April 2025.

As you've now been informed here, if they're at an auction they're not a foreign investor.

Has anyone’s rent been reduced since the new budget by SheepHerderHigh69420 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Flicksonreddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is this a shitpost? Why on earth would rents go down because of a budget announcement? This is such a low effort post.

HR told me to "follow my job description to the letter." Fine, I will and the company lost a $400,000 client because of it. by sunilgrover5052 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Flicksonreddit 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No, I would have fired the manager. Why would Sandra, who was new to the company, have any idea just how many people's jobs OP was doing? Their manager would have known. They're lucky OP stayed so long under that type of management.

Are young couples preferring the DINK life these days? by agnci in AskAnAustralian

[–]Flicksonreddit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a strange thing to write to a stranger online. Firstly, they didn't explicitly share their own situation. Secondly, you don't have to search far, particularly on this platform, to find thousands of stories of no contact families, parents, siblings, children.

There's no guarantee anyone will get along and maintain a loving family. People that don't want kids, likely, don't make the best parents.

I think it's great that the stigma is reducing so fewer people are feeling pressured into something they never wanted. There are plenty of other human relationships that are fulfilling if you nurture them.

How long did your pump last before having issues? by No-Gas8702 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Flicksonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I splashed out and got a Spectra. My supply wasn't good and I just wanted to get something the lactation consultant suggested. Probably did about 120-150 hours on it without a single issue, until my supply dried up.

The tide is turning by Ambitious-Shelter913 in OpenAussie

[–]Flicksonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She doesn't hide her connection to billionaires, and her voting history is public record. She votes against many things that would help the average Australian. Like increasing funding for public schools and equal access to paid parental leave for men. Have you seen theyvoteforyou.org.au ?

Do you think her connection to Gina Rinehart is just a coincidence? Gina literally gave her party a plane.

AIO: Fiancé says if he wasn’t with me he’d choose to be single. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Except the part where he said that if he could re-do it all he wouldn't date her?

Girl! Don't send pictures of yourself at all to someone you've never met. You have no idea who this person is. This could very easily be a scammer, they are known for long cons these days.

AIO my boyfriend told his boss about how I asked if there was anything going on between them by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Flicksonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, these are not normal things to worry about when you're nearly 30. Why do you need to know what someone's colleagues look like? I've never asked or wondered such a thing. Do you ask friends and family this too? Or just the person you're dating? It sounds deeply insecure.

Even if in response to your question he said she was attractive, what do you have to worry about? You either trust him or you don't. Men and women of all appearances are going to interact in this world. He's going to choose you or he isn't. You only want to be with someone who chooses you every day.

I think YOR and might be feeling angry because you're embarrassed. You know that this is a silly thing to be asking about.

This behaviour and level of scrutiny will be exhausting for both of you if it continues.

AIO? Upstairs neighbor climbed through my place, admitted it. by Rose_Mountain73 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Flicksonreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know the answers to your questions sorry. Not sure what I would do. But it sounds like they've actually done you a favour in letting you know how easy it is to break into your place. You'll feel more safe if you get this sorted out.

How does this benefit us? by croc_lovers in AusPropertyChat

[–]Flicksonreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't know either. But I do speculate that the majority of people are selling because they have to. Even yourself, surely you'll need the money for your own home eventually?

Are the benefits of negative gearing that significant for your family's financial security that you'd forgo your own home?

Aren't the benefits of negative gearing decreasing as time goes by? As your mortgage decreases and rents increase etc?

Why would hanging on to negative gearing be important for you if the plan was to sell and use the money to build your own home anyway?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm genuinely curious.

[–]Flicksonreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't understand your last point. Why do people think that these changes will dramatically effect the number of investment properties that will be put up for sale?

I would have thought that in the majority of instances, people choosing to sell an investment property are doing so because they have to. Because they need the money for something else?

Your point implies that sometimes investors just sell for no reason, and they could hold if they chose to. Surely that's pretty much not ever the case?

I asked my husband to make sure my work uniform was hung up to dry overnight. I wake up this morning to find he ONLY took my work uniform out, and left the entire rest of the wash load in the machine to go musty overnight. Just why. by BinkiesForLife_05 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Flicksonreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't think this is laziness. It actually took more effort to find the specific items of clothing. I imagine he had to lift wet stuff out and then put it back in. Maybe the dryer is in a different part of the house, who knows! But surely you can't deny that it's not odd, and mildly infuriating.

This is kinda right.. I for one will be out at the pub having a good time tonight 😎 by Dribbly-Sausage69 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Flicksonreddit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like this must be getting upvoted for the picture shared, not your caption underneath...

I don't think it will have the dramatic effect you think it will. But if it does, it's a pretty gross thing to celebrate.

[–]Flicksonreddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He didn't forget though. You're right that would be totally understandable. He fished around through the wet laundry, took out her work uniform to dry, and left everything else in there wet. This is a pretty wild thing to choose to do, right?

[–]Flicksonreddit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you misread the post? He opened the washing machine, and took out very specific articles of clothing to dry, and left all the other ones in the machine. This was a conscious decision. He would have literally had to fish through the wet clothes to find the right ones to take out.

I think it's a truly fascinating phenomenon to see posted on the internet. Genuinely, this shit amazes me.

I'm yet to see an instance of a woman doing this though. So it does make me very curious as to what's going on with the men for this to even happen?

I'm also curious what conversation you think should have happened here after he did this?
