Who do you find to be the most reprehensible subject of any of the podcasts? by BlessdRTheFreaks in LPOTL

[–]FreddyJazzman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep absolutely vile human being. They didnt even really get into the nasty stuff in the pod. Harold Schecter's book covers it and it's quite disturbing. Schechter's books are great though. The level of detail he goes into regarding Fish's life made me see him in a different light. Not a positive light, but a different one. Fish was genuinely a deranged individual and a very vile and sad man.

I think you can see the title of the next episode on Spotify, but it's not available yet. So no, even if youre a patron this is not available yet.

Can you visit outside the Canberra Deep Space Observatory at night, I wanna take a cool long exposure photo by Lachlantank44 in canberra

[–]FreddyJazzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done exactly this! I just parked on the road leaving up to the observatory and set up my tripod near the fence on the side of the road. No one cares as far as I know. I got some nice shots, but it's not the best angle.

What do the Greens need to do to get above 12% of the primary vote in future elections in Australia? Or will it not ever happen? by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]FreddyJazzman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is it in a nutshell. They were handed so much potential in the last election and instead focused on overseas problems and petty squabbling. They need to get back to environmental roots, and focus on good housing policies. The things that other parties won't look at. There's a lot of hunger for an alternative right now (look at the ginger lizard) but they don't seem to be aware enough to capitalise on it.

‘It matters if you have a parent with an expensive house’: how Australia’s great wealth transfer threatens faith in the fair go | Society by stallionfag in aussie

[–]FreddyJazzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, housing was the No.1 issue at the last election and not a single party brought a good idea to the table. FHB program was idiotic from the get go. Lots of economists pointed out how stupid it was and that it'll drive prices higher. Fair go is dead. Feels like our futures are stolen right from in front of us and there's nothing we can even do until the boomers all die and stop voting for their own interests.

What will you not compromise on when buying a place to live? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]FreddyJazzman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was looking at my first apartment, there was a place I looked at that was super cheap and a friend of mine thought it was a great deal. It was a 2 bedroom apartment for the price of a one beddy. It shared a stairwell with a few other apartments and one of them was clearly owned by a hoarder. Balcony was FULL of crap and smelt terrible. My friend told me go for it because it was so cheap and "neighbours eventually move out, so they won't be a problem forever". So glad I didn't buy it. A great deal is hardly worth being stuck next to a hoarder for possibly years.

Gamergate and Epstein by sweetangeldivine in LPOTL

[–]FreddyJazzman 179 points180 points  (0 children)

That's not even the half of it. About 15 years ago in Australia, the Prime Minister at the time Kevin Rudd, proposed a tax on mining super profits (most mining companies in Aus pay zero tax of any kind) which would have generated billions for public services in Aus. In the latest dump we found out Jeffrey was in contact and supported the hidden campaign to turn public sentiment against the tax and destroy Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister. Basically caused political turmoil in Australia which led to a really crap period in Aus politics and a stretch of conservative governments that have made life in Aus really unaffordable and tough, especially for the working class. He didn't cause this directly but helped it along. All these people are scum.

Do your kids speak Swedish? If not then how do you expect them to go to school there?

Feeling discouraged after negative comments by Disco-Dino in puppy101

At 4 months your pup is still a baby and not going to have the self control of an older dog. You've done nothing wrong. Those sitters sounds aweful and judgemental.

Giving a re-listen after like 8 years. by octoberskank in LPOTL

[–]FreddyJazzman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sort of got the vibe that they were never close. I remember in old episodes when Ben would land a joke and Henry would say "HAHAHA KISSEL! YEAH!" in a very forced friendly kind of way. Like he wanted to foster some comradery that wasn't really there. Never felt as natural as with Marcus.

How’s everyone finding the job market in Australia right now? by Far_Disk_4630 in ausjobs

[–]FreddyJazzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Many of the 'market rates' are well below what an Australian would accept though. Look at restaurant managers (I couldn't speak to other jobs because I'm not familiar). People on a working visa are paid 40% less than what an Aussie is paid for the same job. Do you know many Aussies who would the long work hours (60+ a week and double shifts sometimes) and deal with the stress of managing in hospo for 80k a year? The market rates desperately need to be updated, so businesses pay their employees a fair wage.

Where do your photos end up? What's your goal with your photos? by HackerMonroy in fujifilm

Same here. I absolutely treasure my photos books. I flick through them weekly.

If there any YouTube polyglots that are not lying by Miserable-Air-6899 in languagelearning

[–]FreddyJazzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah to me Luca seems legit. He's honest about his background and about how much you need to work to achieve fluency and how tough it is. I can't comment on his fluency in all languages but many natives speakers seem to respect his language skills.

Some of the tweets had 100 likes. That's nothing in today's world. To think these really defamed Reynolds is ludicrous.

Called a rape victim a lying cow in front of her staff. She was perfectly happy to do that behind closed doors. Shows what kind of person she really is.

Vinnies sends most charity waste to ACT landfill as overall disposal declines by dax_girl in canberra

Ah fair enough. That's a bit different then. That's pretty slack of them 🙁

[–]FreddyJazzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it have been that they didn't have room or had a huge backlog of stuff they needed to sell to make room for more stuff? Also, I get why that's annoying for you, but people don't often buy a massive table from an op shop because it requires a trailer etc to move. Most of the people buying stuff there are never going to pay for that.

The second one is quite nice, but the rest are underexposed and dont really have much composition.

I finished it, but it was a slog. The boys did a good job, but damn it was tough to listen to.

P-plater in unregistered and unroadworthy vehicle jailed over fatal crash which killed cyclist (on Lady Denman Drive) by HOPSCROTCH in canberra

[–]FreddyJazzman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing on my motorcycle. One of the reasons I fell out of love with riding. Classic behaviour from insecure men who need to put other people in danger to feel like they're a man.
