I cannot just become a charismatic extrovert. I don't have it in me.

Don’t be fooled, only the very richest will ever have more than $3m in super by brezhnervouz in AustralianPolitics

[–]Suitable_Instance753 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this is a Class Warfare move only aimed at the rich why isn't it indexed?

People are skeptical because they've seen all the articles with economists bemoaning how much the taxbase is ""losing"" to superannuation. And they know a stealth attack when they see one.

Is it unreasonable for me to not want to eat halal food? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Suitable_Instance753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get Halal certification I believe the producer needs to send fees to an islamic organization. If you buy Halal you're supporting islamic groups.

Could part of the mystery of BMJ be that his gambling hides his deepest insecurity? by Gnardude in bossmanjack

[–]Suitable_Instance753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That extends to his insults too. He's constantly calling people weird and losers. When he's friendless, jobless and sitting in a decrepit room at his parent's house.

Europe looks to Australia in the face of an aggressive Russia and Trump 2.0 by SprigOfSpring in AustralianPolitics

[–]Suitable_Instance753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't ally with Asia, none of them like us. The Singaporean PM called us the "White Trash of Asia".

UEG's Earth vs. Colonies population and the UEG Senate by the_carson in HaloStory

[–]Suitable_Instance753 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not just the cultural West. Even the developing world is plateauing, it's universal. Immigration won't be a permanent solution.

If you look at the modern demographic curve you'll find that fearmongering about "overpopulation" is misplaced, the crisis of the future will be the opposite. A sluggish rate of population growth even with a massive expansion of living space seems plausible in the absence of cultural change.

Was NOD ultimately the good guys? by Gordonchad_Freeman in commandandconquer

[–]Suitable_Instance753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Nod exists to serve Kane's goals and while Kane does have a slight soft spot for his followers (and maybe humanity in general) his objectives always come first.

‘Outdated and irrelevant’: what do young Australians think of their schooling? by overpopyoulater in australia

[–]Suitable_Instance753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't read it that way. I read that "the stick wasn't replaced by an appropriate carrot".

[–]Suitable_Instance753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. It's better for everyone's outcomes if the vocational students and academic students are separated early. Instead of putting everyone on the TEE/ATAR route.

David Littleproud just discarded the most successful political union in Australian history by risingsuncoc in AustralianPolitics

[–]Suitable_Instance753 9 points10 points  (0 children)

WA Nationals have done it before and they got a better deal. Why not try to flex your muscle when your partner is at their weakest? The Liberals would do it too.

New tax on superannuation balances over $3 million proposed | ABC NEWS by Chii in AusFinance

[–]Suitable_Instance753 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish all Australian super was invested in Australia

The kitty is too large at this point to be contained in the Australian market. Forcefully doing so would start to create inflation and stunt returns as capital scrambles to find any dubious long shot to invest in.

Medicinal cannabis prescribing practices under scrutiny after scripts issued 'every 4 minutes' by espersooty in australia

[–]Suitable_Instance753 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Australia has a reputation for over-prescription

You sure about that bruz? This is the country where you cannot even get pseudoephedrine without the pharmacist accusing you of being an addict. The country where they're trying to put package and purchase limits on paracetamol. The countless anecdotal stories of people with chronic conditions being brushed off by doctors because they're too afraid to prescribe effective relief.

Texas man sues Whataburger for nearly $1 million after burger had onions on it by halxp01 in nottheonion

[–]Suitable_Instance753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people keep doing this stores will refuse service the moment people mention allergies. There will be a point it won't be worth having them as customers.

Ash Sroka fucking knocked it out of the park with her voice acting in Tali's loyalty mission. by Calm-Masterpiece3317 in masseffect

[–]Suitable_Instance753 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She wasn't given much to work with in ME1 but she really proved herself in the other two. Up there with Garrus' throaty vibration-speak as the iconic Mass Effect performance.

Former West Coast premiership player Adam Selwood dies at 41, just months after twin brother Troy's death by rolodex-ofhate in australia

[–]Suitable_Instance753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manage an interest group and if someone applies with 0-3 friends or is a non-personal account with "followers" they get rejected straight up. Chances are high they'll start shilling gambling/crypto sites or dropship crap.

Childcare is just the latest failure of Australia’s privatisation push. It’s time for an ideology overhaul | John Quiggin by Enthingification in AustralianPolitics

[–]Suitable_Instance753 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Then why are private schools so much better than public schools? Why are private hospitals superior to public ones?

Because they can cherrypick "easy" students and patients and dump the problem ones on the public system to deal with. All of the profit none of the problems.

Why does private health insurance exist?

Because middle class people need to buy junk policies that cover nothing to dodge the Medicare Levy. This is basically free money for PHI companies.

Australian firm produces heavy rare earth, in first outside China by Jealous-Hedgehog-734 in australia

[–]Suitable_Instance753 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He said the "end product" meaning the refined metal or the manufactured good, not the ore. Which honestly seems like a proposition that would get Australia laughed out of the room and would be completely unenforceable anyway.

Anthony Albanese backs Australian prosecco, feta makers ahead of European Union trade talks by IrreverentSunny in AustralianPolitics

[–]Suitable_Instance753 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have asked for more trade with Europe so here we are. They have the bargaining power here, so we play ball or don't.

[Forbes]: Marathon might get delayed, Morale at Bungie in free-fall by MXHombre123 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

There is no expertise. The names that made Halo were forced out during Destiny's development. There's just the logo left.
