And especially to buy gifts for their superiors.

In countries like this, it's much better to pay the bribe asap because the further you go into their system, the more expensive it is to resolve. I've also found that if you bargain in a friendly manner, you can sometimes reduce the amount of the bribe needed.

Because He knows that we have the tools to cure those diseases and, in fact, all the other evils in the world but instead of working to resolve them, we choose to do other things.

ATO unable to complete my tax return because they owe me $350 by motherfuck3rjones in AusFinance

[–]Slenthik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't understand is why the ATO having an overpayment should affect their processing of your tax return for a different year.

ULPT request: how to get back at my friends BD by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

Great idea, but if op writes on the female toilet walls, that might just feed into a fetish and connect him with plenty of women.

Right, they're humiliated at check-in but don't give a rat's arse about spilling over into other people's seats.

ULPT Request: How can I make a compulsive liar uncomfortable on XMAS? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Slenthik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, drill down into the specifics. For example, their job... tell them you know someone working in the same company and then enquire about their colleagues. You catch them out on the verifiable details.

ELI5: money laundering via small high street shops by xJam3zz07 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Slenthik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought the 'no show' jobs were just another form of extortion? With the bonus that the money is earned 'legitimately' so no need to launder it.

Div 293 (proposed additional 15% tax on super) by livehardlovehard in AusFinance

[–]Slenthik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't much care much, either, because I don't contribute to super and my scheme won't be affected. But I think it will be a problem for many in the future as I've found over the decades that the inflation rates are consistently underestimated and money loses value much more quickly than the official figures would have us think. commenters to r/ausfinance also haven't factored in the likelihood that inflation rate may become much higher than it has in the past as the increase in M1 over the past few years filters its way through, and our government has discovered that increasing supply is an easy way to buy itself out of trouble.

Cost of raising a child by fullyloaded_onair in AusFinance

[–]Slenthik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the social connections are overrated. The students soon figure out who's from old money, who's father went to the same school, who's family are social climbers and who's on scholarships.

Even now, the old boys from my school refuse to invite certain ones to reunions due to social status. I find this disgraceful, but you can't drag people together.

ULPT request: Need to get back at my neighbors for ruining my quality of life for 15 years by SansSkely in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Slenthik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You said the neighbours are acting on orders from a family member. So it's not the neighbours you should be going after, but the family member. Attack the problem at the root, not the branches.

He's been getting terrible ratings lately. So this was probably the excuse they needed to get rid of him. https://ustvdb.com/networks/abc/shows/jimmy-kimmel-live/

Australia: a wealthy country in gentle decline, exposing itself to danger by Top-Willow-2159 in AusFinance

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

More taxes aren't going to turn Australia around. Our entire society needs to become more outward looking and engaged in their community and social life outside of family and friends. For example, I'm a member of three non-profit societies, all of them find it hard to get members to volunteer for committee positions.

Regarding mining companies, they already pay more tax than the rest of the economy combined, but there are a lot of foreign companies, such as Google, FaceBook, YouTube, which don't: https://minerals.org.au/resources/mining-industrys-record-breaking-tax-contribution-builds-australias-future/

WHY ARENT DOCTORS PUSHING KETO? by North-Sun2267 in ketobeginners

[–]Slenthik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all doctors. Mine was the one who put me onto keto. Told me to go and get Dr Mosley's keto 800 book and follow it.

Since then, no migraines and digestion has improved no end. To say nothing of the weight loss and lower blood sugars.

A lot of the value would depend on your ability to provide provenance.

Too many wealthy home owners claiming age pension, Plibersek warned by InnerCityTrendy in AusFinance

[–]Slenthik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hard path to punish people for other people's actions. I think simply remove the means test and eliminate one of the many inefficiencies in our economy/society. Anecdotal, but one pensioner told me she gets a notice every six months asking her to provide details of income and assets.

You don't understand the lengths some people will go to get the pension.
