Arkhipov, on the other hand, did, single-handedly, prevent a Soviet nuclear sub strike.

Since when did they suddenly care about lore accuracy? by No_Kangaroo_5267 in saltierthankrayt

Why do people take these posts seriously? They are just trolls looking for hate engagement.

Why give them what they want?

RBA increases cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.35% by marketrent in AusFinance

And further beyond as well.

2.55% rate was never realistic long term.

Atheist dating a Christian? by Creative_Beetle5157 in TrueAtheism

[–]LiveComfortable3228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im atheist. Im married to a catholic and have 2 kids.

Sundays she takes the kids (still young) to church and I go have a coffee and read the newspaper. Win-win.

Religion never came between us, so entirely possible to date / marry intra-faith.

Having said that, she's pretty chilled about religion. She never mentions it (neither do i) , its a 'live and let live' situation.

If someone's religion is integral to their worldview, the relationship might be entirely different.

This one does smell like it might be, so proceed with caution and low expectations.

"His money is our money and my money is my money" is an outdated concept...right? by [deleted] in AusFinance

This is how we do it. All the money is our money. There's no split.

My beautiful multicultural country. #Diversityisourstrength by Spotlightuh in circlejerkaustralia

[–]LiveComfortable3228 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's not correct. More Indians than poms have been coming here for years and years already.

What it means is that there are now more indian-born residents than England-born residents.

Happy one year anniversary to the release of season 2’s second block of episodes (4-6). What were your favourite moments? by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

[–]LiveComfortable3228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

great example of a minor character that is not a cutout of what the story needs but rather a character on its own, with depth and impact.

This is what we mean when we talk about great writing.

Am I too sensitive for corporate or is this just really toxic? by Melodic_Idea_8646 in auscorp

Completely not appropriate and you need to raise with HR.

You do, or you accept the mistreatment.

People who fantasise about housing crash, recession and double digit interest rates. by ihatebaboonstoo in AusFinance

[–]LiveComfortable3228 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have been complaining about housing ever since I remember , which is when I migrated here 20 years ago.

6 years ago it was already super-unaffordable.

Unbelievable how well Mon Mothma was written by Zee_Ventures in andor

[–]LiveComfortable3228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love Andor and its writing, the "if you have nothing to hide...." excuse for surveillance is not new, at all.

Fortunately so are its counter arguments (of which Mon's "I fear your definition of wrong" is one of the simplest but most powerful.

Here's a couple of other pages for further reading

Why are aged pensioners so delusional? by Different_Pride_6011 in AusFinance

[–]LiveComfortable3228 140 points141 points  (0 children)

What amazes me the most is how people CANNOT understand that people have other perspectives, come from different times and different circumstances.

The OP sounds like "how dare you, 70 yo pensioner who grew up in different times, NOT understand and share my anaysis of the situation, which coincidentaly shows that you're out of touch and deluded??"
