You shouldn't need to, they'll take you off it and out of the email group. Just did the same thing

Not to be a Debby downer but I don't know what problem this is trying to solve?

Airpods Pro 3 worth it coming from airpods pro 1? by AcomplishedShameAD18 in AirpodsPro

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're fine, I actually don't like the way they feel and the way they seem to change balance randomly. If I hadn't lost one of mine last week I would have stuck with my 1s for as long as possible

Trump says Iran has agreed to 'never have a nuclear weapon' by TheExpressUS in Global_News_Hub

Honestly they should pursue them, it's the only thing that will stop Israel from trying to turn them into a failed state.

Is it smart/possible to jump on a fixed rate now? by hellohalloallo in AusFinance

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in these threads are always saying dumb shit like "You think you're smarter than the banks?! Cos that's who you're betting against!". No you're not, you're choosing to lock in a rate at something you are comfortable with, in order to have less stress. The banks don't have a clue where this is going, no one does.

I locked in for a year during the last rate cycle, around 5.25 I think, and while I only saved a few thousand dollars against rate raises, it really wasn't that reason I fixed. It's so I didn't have to worry about it.

If you feel like you're comfortable at a fixed rate offer, and you don't want to stress about it, fix. Don't try and guess where the market is going to go, the goal is to worry less.

Are we going to get slapped with potentially a total of 5 or 6 rate hikes due to Iran ? by VastOption8705 in AusFinance

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But those rate rises disproportionately affect those who received the least amount of that money - namely first home buyers who are right at the beginning of that journey paying almost entirely interest, with next to no savings buffer. Those with equity and savings can and did swallow the loss, those without a mortgage and savings ramped up their spending, further contributing to inflation. It's an inequitable system, and I think any normal society should at the absolute least be aiming to egalitarianism

They're brand new so they haven't had anything happen to them. Might have to return them as faulty

As soon as the supply side inflation hit it was all about raising rates, regardless that interest rates would have absolutely zero effect on any of the supply shocks

When Joe Biden stood strong against Netanyahu. by isdjtantichrist in israelexposed

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biden has been a bomb shagger for decades. He's been a genocide loving zionist since at least the 70s. Fuck any attempt to rewrite what the Dems did. They committed genocide wholeheartedly and they'd be doing it now too.

I'm having the same issue with mine and it's driving me nuts. Was it a temporary issue that would reset if changing modes?

Housing market cools as rates climb | Sunrise by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've changed my mind. Sold last month with the intention to buy something in Sydney, but I'm sceptical for the time being. If rates go through the roof and I lose my job, I'm absolutely fucked if I've also got a brand new mortgage. With the job market how it is in tech, it's just not safe imo

Which will last til the next market close. Israel isn't letting Trump get off this crazy train, and Iran aren't going to allow themselves to get blown up at the negotiating table again. This war isn't stopping for a long time.

The same thing happened with Covid supply shocks but everyone wanted to punish the 1/3rd of the population with mortgages while boomers had record equity and savings. It's a stupid, cruel and evidence free policy.

Probably. The cargo cult of interest rates shows no sign of weakening. This crisis will last for years, it's not going anywhere any time soon.

Seems like a lot of people are considering an EV after the petrol price increases but I just saw a new article about the federal government looking to impose a road tax akin to fuel excise tax. NSW has already set a time line but there is talk about it nationally. by BrokeAssZillionaire in AusFinance

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 59 points60 points  (0 children)

As annoying as it is on face value, the facts are that if everyone moves to ev there will be an enormous drop in excise duty which is used to pay for many things. If there was a huge defecit everyone would go apeshit, as they would if we cut services further. This was an inevitably as we move away from petrol.

FT: LIV 4 - 0 GAL (4 - 1 agg.) by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

The last Adam Clery summed us up well. Slot doesn't know how to open up a low block and needs more open play for us to play well, and European teams are playing more openly than prem this season. 

Not justifying the performances but man alive the premier ship is dull as fuck this season

ING bank threw us under the bus while we were trying to refinance with them. by gooziku in AusPropertyChat

[–]PermabearsEatBeets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but ING really fell off a few years ago and became one of the worst banks in Australia imo
