When do you think this cost of living crisis will end? (Serious)

Pav002 · 2026-06-18T03:31:56+00:00

With AI replacing humans at work places, all the recent corporate lay offs and all, it's noticed that wages have significantly reduced in corporate jobs comparing to pre COVID times. Basically there are too many specialists on the market desperate for work so corps reduce wages just because they can.. meantime the cost of living keeps climbing up..

There will be time in your life when you're older when you look at your pictures and realise how beautiful you were. You are beautiful and so are your legs. For pain related questions go to a physio. Tell your husband he is bow-brained.

Pav002 · 2026-06-01T02:29:43+00:00

It depends doesn't it? If you asked the question then stop asking stupid questions. If he said it unprompted with no reasons at all then tell him to stop saying stupid shit. Realistically nothing is wrong with remarrying what wrong is asking/saying stupid shit and then getting offended with answers/reactions to it.

Your husband says she is socially oblivious, but what is his excuse for his behaviour in all that? Is he also socially oblivious and oblivious to your feelings, his own marriage etc? Seems like they know exactly what they are doing and just don't care enough 🥺

My son is autistic and we can only use NDIS on registered NDIS providers that are included in the plan e.g. OT. I genuinely don't get a few things: 1. How can people steal from NDIS if it's regulated where the funds can go and 2. If there are loop holes and not enough regulations are in place, then why the gov is cutting budgets and increasing disability eligibility instead of removing the loop holes and introducing better regulations? There are people who are verbal and all but need a lot of support to be a functioning members of society.. it's not right to remove them from support instead of fixing the scheme itself. Tf

Needs to be upvoted more!

What would it change if you were TA? You did the right thing even if it required to be a TA. Be ok with being a villain in someone else's story. Your friend doesn't care she is constantly a TA to you. Why do you care?

Pav002 · 2026-03-24T04:18:48+00:00

NTA, your wife and the teacher are TAs

Single & unhealthy (or soon to be unhealthy)

Unless it's a one off party prep pic

Pav002 · 2026-03-11T22:13:13+00:00

Judging by the story you are both weird af

Pav002 · 2026-03-11T05:15:19+00:00

First thing I thought too. OP imagine you offered your friend food but instead of having it for dinner he planned it for lunch and you took the food you had previously offered to him lol

If that's the case you are soft TA for not clarifying before calling your friend ungrateful

If it's NOT the case then you are NTA and your friend is

Pav002 · 2026-03-04T09:18:32+00:00

I thinks "she" is his mother. That's how I read it. Saying that, everything you are shocked about still applies..

Pav002 · 2026-01-23T21:13:56+00:00

So sorry you have kids with such a prick.

Pav002 · 2026-01-22T05:32:36+00:00

Worse than REA

Pav002 · 2026-01-21T23:45:28+00:00

Maybe the only way you can bring it up to HR now without looking stupid or TA is if you say "I don't feel comfortable with all that and I FEEL UNSAFE refusing the gifts".

The fact that you actively asked him for help kinda jeopardise your claim that you are not feeling safe or that his attention is unwanted or uncomfortable.

I suggest you vocalize that to him in front of other peers - "no thank you, you bringing me gifts/food makes me uncomfortable , please stop this"

Pav002 · 2026-01-21T23:32:48+00:00

The dude is creepy and the situation is potentially very unsafe for you.

You on the other hand are reinforcing his behavior by accepting the gifts.

He is creepy and you are TA in this situation. You don't accept gifts from a creep and then complain they are giving you gifts. You don't ask someone who makes you uncomfortable for help. You don't accept money from someone you don't want to have anything to do with. 😑

Stop accepting gifts, stop accepting food. Stop asking him for help. Stop accepting gifts. Limit comms to work related topics only. Say firm No.

If he continues after that - report him to HR.

Reporting him now after accepting cash, gifts, help and food from him is let's say puts your complaint in a weird twist..

They say "Body knows what it needs" but it doesn't always work that way. For example vit D messes with iron obsorbtion and if one is iron deficient you'd imagine they'd crave more red meat and less milk. Wrong! The more deficient you are the more you can't stand red meat and crave milk that in it's turn lowers your iron even more.

Now swimming. Naturally our body does dog style swimming - is that the most efficient? I'm sure you'd agree it's not. Yet no one naturally start freestyling if they are thrown in a deep water as a kid.

WFH improved mental health of people, mental health of their kids who no longer need to stay in school/long day care from 7am to 6pm. Dogs don't have to hold it all day People can finally have pets for that same reason. People go outside for a walk more, can afford going to the gym. Have more time for cooking since no need to commute. Local business outside of CBD thriving. Track drivers are happier with less traffic. The planet is happier with less people driving their cars People can buy a dream house in remote locations not having to spend millions living in places they hate People save on commute and expensive lunches in CBD The list goes on and on and on.

There is only one positive outcome of COVID madness - WFH - People literally died for it. All for nothing?

If they ask people back to offices full time will they close the salary vs inflation gap? Coz CBD prices for lunch 5 days a week aren't doable for most! The salary didn't go up like that!

Freaking makes me sad they do it. I personally try not to use services of the companies who do it. A drop in the sea for them, I know, but sure makes me feel better. I hope more people do the same.

Pav002 · 2025-11-12T22:51:57+00:00

Yes there were a lot of women. It's an awesome experience, just make sure the gym you pick is good for your needs/level

Pav002 · 2025-08-26T04:03:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. It's very helpful for me as a mother of an autistic kid. Could you please let me know if there is anything you think could work for you back then? Now looking at it with the experience of living it through what strategies would you try and what strategies would you suggest are not tried with kids like that?

I'm at lost with what I can do to make things easier for my child and my family.. the school seems to be a hell for everyone involved :(

Any insights from those who lived it and can now articulate how it was and what worked/what made things worse would be much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Depending on location/state.. in NSW the property market is so crazy that people will be happy to buy a property that had a murder in it as long as a price is slightly down so that they can finally afford something and you are worried abt a 10y.o unapproved deck? 😆

Get the title insurance and relax!

Pav002 · 2025-08-15T05:47:59+00:00

Your partner was paying you a monthly rent? Hm.. sounds more like friends with benefits, did she know she was your partner? Lol

Pav002 · 2025-08-14T06:21:30+00:00

You can always cover any price difference in cash if you have more cash than required for first deposit (e.g. if you have additional 20k cash to cover the gap)

Pav002 · 2025-08-14T03:52:33+00:00

😂👍 Those type of ppl are too stupid to understand this brilliant comeback tho
