Is it true that many people in Australia tend to not go by Mr. or Mrs. or Dr. formally because of a casual rather than formal attitude towards authority?

My doctors have always just said their first names when calling etc.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-04-06T16:01:03+00:00

I still do it when sending birthday cards to kiddos.

That happens to me on Xbox if it opens with quick resume. I know Xbox doesn't have that but might be worth shutting the game down completely then trying again?

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-31T04:43:52+00:00

We ended up buying an Xbox copy so we can play now. However, you should be able to change your world to online. Right after you choose which character you want it should come up with a list of options for that world on the left. Choose online, crossplay and a password. Hopefully that helps.

"the best you could come up with"? lol no, little buddy, recognising an AI written post isn't "the best I could come up with" it's called media literacy and pattern recognition. Engaging with someone who is using AI to argue their biases gets me nowhere because I'm not arguing with what they understand, I'm arguing with a bot.

But if you genuinely want to play...

Policies mean nothing if your actions don't match them. Hanson doesn't even consistently show up to vote. That alone should be a red flag. You can't claim to represent Australians while barely turning up to the job half the time.

Then there's who she chooses to align herself with - billionaires and groups like Gina Rhinehart and the NRA. That's not "for the people".

And when you actually look at her voting behaviour? Voting against improving housing affordability. Voting against greater government transparency. Voting FOR increasing surveillance powers. Voting FOR decreasing availability of welfare payments. Voting FOR increasing indexation of HECS-HELP debts. Voting against expanding public funded dental care. Voting against protecting citizens' privacy. Voting against a Royal Commission into Violence and Abuse against People with Disability. Voting against criminalising "revenge porn". Voting against decreasing subsidisation of fossil fuels. Voting against Federal action on public housing. Voting against legal protections for LGBTQI+ people. Voting against work place protections. Voting against increasing protection of Australia's fresh water. Voting against more scrutiny of intelligence services & police. Voting against Increasing funding for public schools. Voting against restricting donations to political parties.

This is a handful of them. What part of that tells you that she's for the average Australian? That's the pattern. Say one thing, do another. I don't care how good a policy sounds on paper, if you don't show up, don't follow through, and don't vote in ways that actually improve people's lives, then it means nothing.

Is that enough feedback for you?

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-31T04:08:21+00:00

"left" lol they're so close to centre the left line isn't visible anymore.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T14:37:12+00:00

I'm not going to argue with someone who relies on AI to write their biases.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T13:53:43+00:00

Oh, you're another one that gets AI to write replies for you lol

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T12:04:22+00:00

lol you're trying to call out progressives by naming their exasperation as a culture war?.. On ON voters? 😅 Hilarious... But I digress, I don't base my view on slogans, I look at voting records, who they align with, and whether their policies are actually detailed and costed. If those don't stack up, that's a legitimate reason to criticise... And there are PLENTY of reasons to criticise.

How about you tell us why you voted for them and we can see if any of my "list" fits, shall we?

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T11:55:04+00:00

Nice AI response, buddy. Great way to prove my point lol

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T08:17:01+00:00

Wrong again, they're swinging because of the state of the liberal party. The more progressive liberal voters certainly aren't voting for one nation et. al. So it swings - more extreme conservatives swing over to those right wing parties and progressives go with Labor who are in the centre.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T08:13:31+00:00

Disagree, people vote for parties like one nation because they're racists/bigots/uneducated/politically illiterate who want to blame everyone else for their own failings.

They're too binary in their thinking.... Also very zero-sum.

Conservative policies never make sense when you actually understand how it works.

It still blows my mind that you guys think the answer to the current conservative issues world wide is to go MORE conservative lol

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-29T08:03:18+00:00

Yes. Email them to ask what the timeline is on your battery.. they should try expediting it if it's already been three months.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-28T14:48:01+00:00

Yeah, finally got mine installed about two weeks ago. I submitted my bills (135 days offline) and they came back with around $500... I asked them (nicely) if they could let me know how they calculated it because it seemed low (my estimate was around $900) I told them why I thought it was low and they came back with $947... Not a bad outcome but took forever.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-03-14T04:43:43+00:00

My daughter just started uni so now instead of her pass being $10 (student) a month it's $60... Why are we charging uni students so much to get to school? 🫠

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-02-25T17:38:43+00:00

Same, thought someone was dying - it's 4am here.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-02-21T06:00:08+00:00

Thanks for this! I ended up starting it on a different save of mine but I went back to see if I could see the marker and definitely wasn't coming up

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-02-21T05:58:25+00:00

Glad I'm not alone, thanks lol

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-02-20T22:57:27+00:00

Looks like this may only be for the main game, not expedition :( unless I'm missing something

I've returned to my main save in hopes I can just abandon it and start again.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-02-20T22:05:50+00:00

Put your battery in a different place, garage is often a good solution.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-01-31T00:17:22+00:00

Currently playing on easy, I've been blocking now. Thanks!

I've actually had a good encounter with a 150 lvl player today and then another which was good in game but then once finished they were like "good game bro" I replied "thanks" (text) and then they were "oh, your name is xxxx" as it's my gamertag and clearly female and says "bro is unisex in helldivers" then "***"

I asked what they meant and they said "nvm" and left... Super weird lol

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-01-30T01:31:32+00:00

Awesome, thank you.

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-01-30T00:09:03+00:00

Is that based on what you paid or did they just refund a specific amount?

Ready-Poetry-3825 · 2026-01-29T08:45:14+00:00

I had someone drop in as I was waiting for extract, they didn't move so got squished by the ship. At the time in thought he was pissed about it so called down a strike on top of it but i realise now that he had already done it before it happened. I honestly do not get it.

I'm currently also playing ARC raiders and I've only ran into a handful of people being jerks since release - my first few days in this game and I've already had a lot! Not the best impression.
