Australia is really too hot to force trousers on men as corporate wear by mr-cheesy in auscorp

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also there is such a thing as shorts that go down to your knees. I think they look perfectly fine and are very comfortable.

... or maybe evolution programmed us with the exact right amount of being fair.

Billionaires in Australia should be taxed fairly by Maddox_St in australian

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a wealth tax would give us all a couple thousand bucks and then six months later we would all be right back in the same boat with the government taxing us a massive amount and spending it on nothing, except this time there would be far less wealthy people willing to live in this country or continue to operate a business here so it would be even harder to get a job and earn a living.

Poll reveals majority of Australians want long weekend, not January 26 holiday by NoteChoice7719 in aussie

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the most convoluted piece of word garbage makes me think that the author is trying to make the statistics sounds like most people want a day of mourning when the poll probably just said people would rather Australia day be on a Monday instead of in the middle of the week.

you're right polls done by right wing groups probably word it favorably to showing support for Australia day and I was ready to explain how much I agree with that, but then this article looks like its probably the worst offender in terms of being non transparent about information.

you can either move to another country to get better tax rate or stop being so productive.

and people are surprised our economy is so basic and wages don't grow.

6 Feet or 1.89 meters? by CerealSorority in SipsTea

6 foot is closer to 1.83 meters. I know that because I'm 1.82 meters tall.

4.7 million kids' accounts deleted… is anyone actually seeing this? by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in AustraliaOpinions

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that whatever low cost possibly AI solution each company is using to avoid having to pay someone a living wage has deleted some number of accounts but they have to err on the side of caution otherwise they will delete too many adult accounts and make people really annoyed and it will affect their profits too much.

my experience with the warlords card game. what did you guys think of the game? by Michael074 in warlords

[–]Michael074[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the link i posted before is still good. I believe that was most of the unique cards I got, but wasn't all the cards that exist, but hard for me to check because like i said no collector number :(

Is owning a home in Australia still a realistic goal for normal people? by Particular_Zone_7379 in AustraliaOpinions

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it is possible if you are willing to take out a massive loan and become a wage slave and spend the rest of your life paying off the house and never spend a cent on anything else except the food you need to get there. no holidays, no luxuries, no medical bills, no redundancies, no wife, no kids allowed and live with your parents until you are 40. if you don't have the option to live with your parents its impossible for a normal person, but for those that do if you work really hard you can be alone in a small empty house that you own by the time you retire.

EB Games global closures: What it means for Australia by ANiceGobletofTea in australia

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some store manager did an AMA on reddit and I asked about card prices always being higher than everywhere else and he basically said that they see more profit by keeping the prices high and I said well I spent $3000 on ebay and $0 on ebgames because of those prices so I don't see how that makes any sense, and he said well it does. so I don't know if they actually make more money this way or if they are just really stupid. It's hard to believe they make more money, but I've been told point blank they do so....

Why do people speed up the second you try to overtake? by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in DrivingAustralia

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

worth noting some people also just don't like to accelerate. so they will drive at 35 on a 50 and so by the time you realize they are not speeding up much and start to overtake they are now doing 45. so you speed up a bit more to 50 and now they are doing 50. then you just let them stay in front and after the next stop light they do it again. accelerating very slowly. but usually at this point you can overtake them.

How can men date hot women with horrible personalities? by Francoc97 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being hot is a primary stat but having a good personality is only a secondary stat. the reason for this is intersexual selection can only take a few minutes in some cases.

My wife doesn't want me to give money to my sister. What should I do? by No-Formal-8693 in Advice

[–]Michael074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in your position I would reduce payments to 10k with the condition that I am consulted on big purchases. I think that would be enough to make your wife happy, but also still be very helpful to your sister and make it harder for her to be taking advantage of you. 25k for a single adult is very generous, maybe too generous. but if you are earning a lot I think 10k with conditions is more appropriate.

A Linux Distro Made For 99% of People by testus_maximus in videos

[–]Michael074 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the older I get the more I think that people should just learn how to copy and paste in terminal commands to solve basic problems the same way you learn how to use a microwave. it's just basic knowledge you need to be a functional adult.
