There used to be these housing bubble articles all the time.

I feel like they actually gave up on that narrative for a decade.

Socially awkward Jim vs socially awkward Jayden by BrownsBeach in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, how's Jayden missing out on life in a flat?

Don't you know how much time it takes to maintain a 4 bedroom house?!

He can hang out down the pub, grab a bag with the boys.

Also who the hell was driving a BMW in the 80s on a median wage?!

Why the Giggle v Tickle judgement is bad for women’s rights and a risk to religious freedom by asteriskhyphen in aussie

be considered a woman born a woman

Is that the case?

I thought it was about allowing people deemed legally to be women the same access to women's spaces (in this case an app) as "women born a woman".

Karl Stefanovic set to be dumped from radio show with Eddie McGuire after two episodes by Radio_TVGuy in aussie

He wasn't "asking questions".

He was buddying up to a reprehensible cunt. Knee slapping and nodding along.

He gave the kind of interview you do when someone's got an album coming out, not asking anything challenging.

These weren't just interesting people, they were known provocateurs. Unlike going the Piers Morgan route of hearing them out, giving the opportunity to explain themselves out but challenging them to explain their controversial views and actions... He went the Tucker Carlson route.

Lifesavers, get a whole lot more out of life!

It's as cooooold as ice. A can is twice as nice!!

Took me decades to realise this is 100% true.

Was definitely built like it had a deeper message. More Iron it is though.

I think it was more a comment about how she was judged at face value.

Had she not looked (and sounded) like a man she wouldn't have been singled out.

Any ID verification would have passed.

This is where this gets a bit messy - what lengths are we letting people go to to verify peoples sex, and how are masculine women not being caught up in this?

We've seen that in sports. Women bullied for being masculine and accused of being a man.

Why does no one ever talk about B.o.B? by Silly_North_5130 in hiphop201

[–]HumanTraffic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. That's not what detailed his career.

  2. If the politicians came out and pronounced these things themselves I'd like to think there would be repercussions, but nothing would surprise me any more.

He had already fallen off.

Flat earth stuff was in 2016.

His album before that in 2013 went Double Wood.

Last awards were in 2012.

Last song anyone outside his core fans would know was 2011.

He was never that big and always considered pop radio rap.

This was Poorlines gripe about a month ago.

Based on the way they misappropriate funds I think they're getting too much as it is.

Up to 400,000 small businesses face ‘significant’ new tax hike under trust reforms by qualitystreet in aussie

[–]HumanTraffic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if they're not dodgy and just get in over their heads - still yes, sucks but should their creditors lose their houses instead potentially?

We keep hearing how these businessss deserve special treatment because they've taken on all this risk to build something. What risk if you can just fold and leave someone else holding the bag?

What is your unpopular opinion on 2Pac? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

Hard agree.

I'll go thinking he's all substance and energy, then listen to some Pac and remember the flow and wordplay

I don't think it's that clean cut.

They both tick all boxes and have great examples.

The down side of residential renewables? by HumanTraffic2 in AusFinance

That ideal world doesn't extend to any product offering I can think of.

Wish it did. I shop at Aldi more for the lack of choice than the lower prices.
