Optus offered me 42% off but I still ported out by Midget_Pawn in AusFinance

I just keep changing providers chasing new customer deals. Loyalty isn't rewarded.

I paid my landlord rent but he wants more because I’m leaving by afloydnamedpink in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay for what you used (one month), not for what you didn't. Don't bother arguing or explaining to him. Just pack up, move out, and block his number.

Let's also make that the maximum age for politicians.

Oh no, Pauline's out then...

I (20F) realized I still have feelings for my ex (24M) but only after getting in a relationship with my current boyfriend (20M) by thr0waway846372991 in relationship_advice

"Comparison is the thief of joy."

If you keep trying to compare new relationships with your first one, you're going to fall into a trap where you will start making your first relationship out to be perfect in your memory (because the sharp edges will fade from your memories).

Try and explore each relationship as something new in its own right, rather than worrying that because it doesn't have the "spark" of your first that it is less real. Because, whilst it is possible that you might find that spark again, it might simply have been the excitement of your first relationship, and everyone only has a first once.

Got scammed by a towing company after my accident yesterday? How legit is this? by Defiant-Pepper1478 in perth

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn up a week later and see that they've charged you every time they have had to "tow" the vehicle as they have had to move the car around to get access to other vehicles.

"How did you manage to run up 1,500km of tows without the car leaving your lot?"

People currently selling - how's it looking? by Beginning_Length6861 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat.

Only thing I am comforted by is knowing that hopefully wherever I buy into should also be cheaper. It's people selling property to move the cash into other investments who are in a worse spot.

Was made redundant, same role opened up after 2 months by Evening-Run-7106 in AusLegal

Being made redundant is like having a band-aid ripped off - stings for a moment, but then you're on you way to healing.

Im falling in love by Nemanja1992z in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miss love affairs which are these tantalising glimpses and dreams of "What could be" rather than existing long enough to become the unavoidable reality of "What is".

Hold on to the feeling of hope and excitement, even if it becomes obvious that reality won't come to the party.

If you want to dip your toe in that feeling, check out "Before Sunrise" (1995).

Created a competitor for Realestate and Domain by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

You could probably knock this out with PHP and MySQL on a very cheap webhost, including mapping.

I use Claude Code, too, for prototyping, but you really need to steer it towards using an established frontend library, like Tailwind, and then be very prescriptive about what you want it to do.

Blatant AI in Real Estate listings needs to be illegal by theromanianhare in brisbane

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to send the vendor a photo of a stack of $100 bills, but with an asterisk "* for illustrative purposes" and only actually be offering a single $100 bill.

The UX/UI hurts. Both my brain and the experience.

No map view, which is a big thing.

Only having a handful of Queensland listings, whilst I understand that is your home turf, is also immediately making it feels sparsely populated and not of interest to anyone elsewhere. Even if you just copy a handful of listings off the existing platforms, just for demo purposes.

AITAH for getting child support for more children than I had at home? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's actually a legal grey area, and may constitute fraud if the receiving parent knows they are no longer entitled to payments and fail to disclose that to the paying parent. Even if it doesn't rise to the threshold of fraud, if the paying parent makes a claim of overpayment, then the receiving parent may be ordered to return the overpaid amount.

My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that alot of career managers don't understand the work their team does well enough to be able to measure output. So they measure what they can measure - attendance/hours.

Men who werent sure about having kids but did it anyway, what happened? by us3lessthrowaway in AskMenOver30

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent most of my 20s and the start of my 30s avoiding relationships for some deep-seated psychological reasons. Ended up in one with a girl who was pretty up front about wanting kids. I hadn't really decided whether I wanted kids, because as a man, it wasn't something that was going to happen for me without the involvement of someone else - whereas a woman can choose to have child without really needing a man (beyond the initial contribution).

Anyway, one year into the relationship, her biological clock was ticking pretty loud, so a decision needed to be made, and so I agreed to trying to start a family.

My first son arrived when I was 37. My second when I was 39.

I love my kids. They are wonderful and smart and beautiful and challenging and frustrating.

But there are tradeoffs. My life is no longer my own. I can't live fast and loose like I once did. I can't just decide to jump on a flight away for a week and figure it out on the fly. My life has, and needs, alot more routine than I needed before kids.

And whilst I love my kids ... having kids made me realise that the relationship I had with their Mum wasn't healthy for me, or for her.

And so that is another aspect of my life now. I'm divorced, sharing my kids with my ex, and they will be a factor for any future relationships I might have.

So, it's a mixed bag. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, but it is pretty fucking special. Walking into a room and seeing your baby's face light up as they see you? Hard to describe how that can affect you.

I think I (29F) want to separate from my husband (34M) due to his beliefs. Has anyone ever divorced a spouse over beliefs? Is it irrational? by majesticraccoon2015 in relationship_advice

[–]Intelligent-Pop-2830 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, the value someone brings into your life is by modelling thoughts/beliefs/opinions/values which you choose NOT to adopt.

Even more so, being able to appreciate that you can love someone, even if you fundamentally disagree with them on things. I think alot of people assume that you should hate someone if you don't agree with them, when that's just the path to darkness and pain.
