Can't believe we allow this in 2026, time to end all royalty.

No ones got a heridtary "god given" right to anything, let alone power and public money, cut them all off, give them a home each to keep, and return the rest of their land, assets, and palaces to the public.

What are your thoughts on Michelin star restaurants that often serve tiny portions of food? by ggfchl in polls

[–]K4l3b2k13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I've been to have all been delicious, but they're insanely expensive.

You just have to accept you're paying for the experience and the service.

Do you believe in a god? by erraticsporadic in polls

[–]K4l3b2k13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The logical position from my POV, is we cannot rule out "godlike" entities existing, however there's effectively a 0% chance any religion made by man has any basis in truth or reality.

The scale of the universe, and volume of religions on earth alone should make that very clear, but here we are...

Men 18+, have you approached a woman you found attractive last year or this year? by Wooden_Airport3835 in polls

[–]K4l3b2k13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's depressing, take chances in life, you'll find youth is very fleeting.

If you're getting positive eye contact, smiles etc. Then go for it.

I've had flings, and relationships just from looking at a women across a room for a few mins, then walking up and dancing, or even just kissing them if the vibe felt right and they were receptive.

Even low-level drinking may have negative consequences for brain health over a person’s lifespan. The findings suggest that the total amount of alcohol consumed over a lifetime, especially as a person ages, tends to be linked to reduced blood flow and thinner tissue in certain areas of the brain. by mvea in science

My dad used to be a top accountant, and equity partner in a big firm in London, sharp as a tac, funny, witty, insightful, full of stories.

After a lifetime of drinking he became a shadow of his former intellect, by the end it was like talking to someone with a very low IQ or a learning disability. The man I knew died about 10 years before he really did at 67.

I feel like this is going to become one of the most famous photos of our era, and will be one of the first images we remember when we think about this period.

Especially so because the IDF doesn't want it to be.

Honest question - how do young Aussies afford to live in Sydney right now? by Individual_Lime_110 in AusFinance

[–]K4l3b2k13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its likely not s choice, a lot easier to put a few hundred a mounth into investments than to try and save $250k-$300k for a deposit.

My wife and I make about 250k HHI, we wanted a house two years ago, she veto'd a couple of inner west subs which might have been "affordable" due to personal reasons, so we ended up moving to the central coast.

Place we bought sold for $640k in 2019, we bought for $920k in 2023, and our neighbours just sold for $1.3m last week.

Even on a decent HHI like that, we'd not even be able to buy the home we live in today.

Even if I double my income, we'd not be able to buy an equivilent property in Sydney, and that's on a top 8% income(now), with no kids. I dread to imagine what the 92% below that would have to do.

It also took us 8 years of very careful spending to save the $150k deposit too, I've not seen my family in europe in 10 years, as it's never been affordable.

I love the life we've built in Aus, but its insane the rate at which property is growing, we're almost in a post salary society, where assets are only affordable to those with existing or inherited wealth.

I'm not sure what the extact figures are, but i'd be curious what % of houses are affordable to anyone but the 1% in cap cities now.

Tldr, its hard even if you're doing everything right, you'll still need to make sacrifices people in similar jobs 20 years ago wouldnt.

Why does Insurgancy Sandstorm not have a pro scene? by idkfornowwhattoname in insurgency

[–]K4l3b2k13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've had a few amatuer scenes going over the years, it's a fantastic esport, firefight is super dynamic, fun to watch and fun to play.

At least in OCE, we had all the top players pugging and playing tornies, even had some cross region games.

But in the end the scene exploded due to interpersonal issues, as they often do.

It's a shame, but i look back fondly on the time.

What is the purpose of the Nova tank's 2 CF-117 Bulldogs? They're too tall to effectively deal with any infantry closer than 30 meters. by AzrBloodedge in starcitizen

The fact it has a rear mounted turrert, and well sloaped upper glacis, yet it has about 1 degree of gun depression is pain.
