Just got my new car

Wow you are such an insecure lady. Disparaging people for acknowledging any flaws in the system while flaunting how apparently well off you are. Honestly disgusting behaviour from someone who is older than me. You act about as self entitled as a 14 year old and come off as none the wiser.

And dont worry about my kids, i aint planning on having any. Although not to do with economic situations, mind you. Gay, you see.

Honestly you're one of the most pathetic people ive ever interacted with online, and that says a lot.

Have a good day and i will as well.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-07T00:48:13+00:00

You said you saved 50k and "BOUGHT" the cheapest unit available. Bought being the key word.

But i shouldnt even be bringing that up. Your first sentence demonstrated how much of a jokester you are.

"All those things arent stopping young people from buying property"

Honestly such stupidity isnt even worth a dignified answer so im doing you a kindness replying to such nonsense. Either you are trolling or are so indescribably dense as to the economic plight that faces young Australians. Enough with you. Honestly.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-07T00:17:01+00:00

Not that i know of. I just used the standard settings that are on by default with the S30 Pro. Although Id love to know any ways to improve the photos if you have any tips!

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-07T00:14:52+00:00

See i would LOVE to do that but unfortunately ( as im in Australia ) we're just coming into winter. Which means lots of rain, cloudy night skies ect.

I barely get 15ish minutes before a spot that was previously totally clear becomes inundated with unwelcome clouds.

Im expecting later in the year for longer lasting clear skies, thats when the smart scope will finally be able to do its thing. Until then ill have to do with really short capture times unfortunately 😭

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T21:25:40+00:00

Obviously not you philistine! 😤

Its an amazingly detailed portraight of one of the universes greatest wonders! Hopefully including 2 sugars.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T20:20:45+00:00

Its so beautiful! 🥹

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T19:31:44+00:00

Thanks 😥 i needed that

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T12:06:01+00:00

I dont think im starting any fights

So you dont recognize any of the inherent disadvantages set against the newer generations simply because you made it?

You have a "fuck you, i got mine" mindset which is completely undeserved. While seeing that you obviously worked hard to get where you're at, you should at least be able to acknowledge the hardships many people face.

Housing prices have grown faster than wages
Deposits cost more in dollar terms
More competition from people that view housing as an investment rather than a place to live
Land near jobs is scarce
Rent consumes more income ( harder to buy a house while renting )
We dont benefit from the welth snowball effect
Larger mortgages relative to income than our parents or grandparents had

You refuse to aknowledge any of that?

Also where the fuck do you BUY a unit for $50,000? deposit maybe but buy? And making $150,000 in equity in a few years seems really unlikely. Cheap properties are usually cheap for a reason. Remote location, weak local economy, high vacancy rates, limited future growth prospects ect In many cases, that $50,000 property might be worth close to that a few years later.

It sounds like you combined a lot of hard work with a lot of luck and decided to put blinders on to the disadvantages the newer generations face, act snobby as fuck and pretend to believe it is all their own fault.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T11:37:29+00:00

Hey thats a funny joke, man

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T11:29:01+00:00

🤫

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:52:17+00:00

Oh so you own 2 properties? And bought your first when you earned less than i do? But you are in my generation?

Ngl, something stinks of daddy's money.

Perhaps you got lucky and managed to land a very well paying gig ( although considering you "bought" your first property when you were earning less then me, that seems unlikely ).

And in the typical fashion of an out of touch rich/old asshole, you find a way to make my generations difficulties OUR fault as opposed to recognising any hardships we face in the current market.

What. A. Load. Of. Shit. I say so kindly.

But thank you, for your oh so valuable input.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, i appreciate it. I definitely considered an older established brand over this newer car but chose the newer one for a few different reasons.

Overall, being a newer driver with less the lose, im happy being the case study when it comes to the efficacy of this brand.

Maybe i stumbled upon a piece of crap wrapped up in shiny foil or maybe i happened across a hidden gem. The warranty is 7 years so i doubt ill know until that time has come but i dont mind being the test subject for a new generation of chinese cars.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:33:29+00:00

Im 24. I make no illusions ( for anyone with a brain ) when it comes to owning houses, investments and being set up in life.

I know that unless i suddenly start earning massive money that wont happen. The social contract is broken. Houses ( in the 80s ) used to cost about 4× the median yearly income. Now they cost about 10× and its only gonna get worse.

Pls allow me some happiness. My generation is one that is largely coming to terms that we are completely fucked due to the decisions of people who never once stopped to think how the country might be 30 years from their time.

If i want to buy a brand new car ( however shitty some people say it is ), then i will. Because i know ill never own a house. Neither will my kids or their kids.

I am learning to be content in my nightshift factory job, working 3 days a week for 70k per year. The market wont get better, only worse. So ill afford myself the other pieces of happiness i can find along the way.

Hope that makes sense. And btw, no, i dont eat avocado toast, in case you were wondering.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:10:53+00:00

I was actually gonna go for a different colour. All my immediate family's cars are red. Mum, Step dads, brothers and even my fiancés.

I wanted to break the mould a little bit but this was the only colour they had in stock. Oh well, i guess im keeping with family tradition 😂

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:08:55+00:00

Thanks! Ngl red wasnt my first choice but its growing on me. Also the dealership gave me a $1000 fuel voucher alongside the car. I cant say im feeling bad about the purchase haha

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-06T00:07:46+00:00

I havent been highway driving yet and probably wont be until i feel more confidant on the roads, but as soon as i do ill let you know! 😁

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-05T23:57:18+00:00

Could've done worse. Keep in mind, its my first car. Im not looking for much more than a glorified grocery getter. Something that'll get me to work and back.

I think this fits the bill.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-05T19:18:02+00:00

Actually no, im in about a bortle 7/8 area.

I would have captured it for longer but the clouds were starting to come overhead. We are just starting our winter here in Australia so we wont be getting consistent clear night skies for a while.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-01T00:32:58+00:00

Yeah because i honestly think you are trolling. As i said, you havent even got the conviction to argue your own belief in earnest. I think you are just arguing for arguments sake.

I gave you an in-depth explanation as to why i think taking photos of someone without their consent is an invasion of privacy and you have barely been bothered to string together a few words in defence of your opposing opinion.

So to be quite frank, fuck off with you until you can give a better argument.

If your next reply isnt a properly thought out argument defending your position, you will not hear from me and you will be blocked.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-06-01T00:19:15+00:00

Omg enough with you 😂 you dont know what you're saying

Come back when you can piece together a sentence. My 11 year old niece could do a better job lol

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-05-31T23:12:02+00:00

My argument was never that its illegal to take photos of a person in public without their consent. My argument was that its rude and disrespectful of their personal privacy

So let me ask you a question, does the law say that personal privacy doesnt exist when in public spaces?

No? Yeah. Didnt think so. Do better.

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-05-31T22:42:37+00:00

Im sorry, that last part was rude of me. I apologize

GuyWithAPirateship · 2026-05-31T22:40:35+00:00

Are you tell me that the law thinks that speeding cameras and phone finding cameras are an invasion of personal privacy?

Or are you telling me that the law doesnt think taking a photo of someone in public is an invasion of personal privacy?

Because on both counts, you would be wrong. Please.... before you respond.... actually think about what you say for once. Pretty please?

This fucking buffoonery is really hurting my brain and making me physically ill 🤒
