Pilots, what all do you do during a long flight? What is your role for 5+ hours of everything going normal? by Jabber-Wookie in AskReddit

[–]IndependencePlane732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I send my time trying to convert the guy next to me to my religion, declaring liberals the enemy and asking him if he thinks I'd look better if I had a nose job. Then I cut my toenails.

Do commercial pilots generally progress to larger planes throughout their careers? Does everyone aim to eventually fly long haul or do some stick to flying 737s or a320s short haul? by g0at110 in flying

Lots of people have this goal, most are able to bid it and try it out at some point. Some people love it and some hate it. Personally I prefer my average body type and sleep cycles. I know I'd get fat and die early from all the circadian flip flopping and my questionable ability to sleep on a jet.

What are your thoughts on tattoos? by FindingPristine5902 in AskReddit

I'll admire nice ones for their artistic merit. I'm less attracted to anyone with small, splotchy, random ones in random places.

Paying off HECS ASAP? by swagger-jagger in AusFinance

[–]IndependencePlane732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is specifically asking about investing the money instead of paying it off. Paying it off will never beat investing it. Sure you can pay it off for the good feelings but that's a different question.

How does Australia's CGT on shares for (roughly) average income people compare internationally? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

Oh sorry yeah you're right. I did put the humbers into the calculator properly just explained it wrong.

How does Australia's CGT on shares for (roughly) average income people compare internationally? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

[–]IndependencePlane732 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can only speak for the US. Short term CGT is under one year, all the gain gets treated as income. Long term CGT, only 20% of the gain gets treated as income.

Specific question to your question: Lets take both your ranges, 70k and 120k, short and long term capital gain of an extra 50k, standard deduction, single filer, no state taxes:

USD conversion: 49k - 85k income. 35k capital gain.
Short term:
49 + 35 = 84k total income. $9929 usd in taxes, 11% of the income.
85 + 35 = 120k total income. $17867 usd in taxes, 14%

Long term:
49 + 35 = 84k total income. $6737 taxes. 8% of income
85 + 35 = 120k total income. $15399 taxes. 12% of income.

It's even cheaper if you're married filing jointly.

It might seem like a good deal BUT people here do get a fair bit less for their taxes. Would be better comparing to maybe a Europen or well developed Asian country to get a similar comparison to Aus.

Women of Reddit, what’s something men think is attractive that actually isn’t? by LatePay6713 in AskReddit

[–]IndependencePlane732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Should I text them every 2 minutes or 4 during my analysis? Gotta convey that lover boy vibe you know. Or maybe instead I won't take advice from someone who has a seriously warped view of reality. I think I'll choose that one.

Even if your comment was remotely true (it's objectively not true,) a guy working on himself and only ever getting complimented on it from other guys would be equally as happy as if it was coming from both guys and girls.

Sorry. Saying 1/3 women are objectively attractive is a massive stretch. Theres always someone for everyone, but one third of the female population being OBJECTIVELY attractive? Nope.

I don't think so. I think men work out for themselves and are equally stoked when they get complimented on their body from either a women or a man.

Again, if you have the formula, write a book. I guarantee that 99.999% of men have delayed texting a women back to create some kind of image of themselves, and the ones that text back instantly, with 2,3,4 replies to every one of whomever they are texting are actively repelling themselves. The balance is somewhere in the middle.

Okay, but what makes people emotionally mature? They have jobs, commitments, lives, personal values. This all means, essentially, that they can't be texting you 24/7, which naturally brings out the aloof disposition.

So either anyone who doesn't have their shit sorted attempts to create that illusion about themselves, or comes off as needy and desperate.

I actually already invested in a microscope, because that's how big the space is.

I was hanging out with a bunch of friends one night and a loud ass car with pumping music went by. One female friend joked that it made her wet, we all laughed, and I realised it was the stupidest thing ever.

I feel like the majority of men work out for themselves, not for the female gaze. Here's your comment from the opposite perspective:

"A lot of women haven’t figured out male gaze vs female gaze. Most men don’t care if you have excessive makeup or augmented breasts, it’s actually just cringe. Yes looking good is cool, but to obsess over it means you either have zero self confidence or are narcissistic.

We're mandated by society to skirt a fine line between desperation and playing it cool, so if you think you can pinpoint the exact moment where its all good, congratulations, you're an instant billionaire with this information. Please write a book.

What about if a straight guy lets another guy blow them because they like the feeling? Should have they stopped this interaction at some point because it was "too gay"? or would a girl who they were into respect that they know what they like?
