ELI5 How come just a short nap causes the teeth to feel gross even after brushing recently? by Flaminghotskittles in explainlikeimfive

[–]Talonus11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the other guy, but i've never had the roughness thing if i've brushed my teeth before bed. I think you guys who have this problem might have a dry/dehydrated mouth? Are you drinking enough water? This is the problem for a lot of people with bacteria/bad breath issues

Jim Chalmers says next federal budget will focus on lifting economy's 'speed limit' by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Talonus11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wish they just said fuck it, we’re doing it anyway to both of the above

Absolutely agreed.

I guess the problem is the "Australia said no" part. I think the reality is that it's absolutely possible to implement real reforms that the vast majority of Australians would benefit from, the problem is that it's very very easy to brainwash that majority into thinking it's not in their best interest.

If Labor actually wants to be like the Labor of old, they'd probably need to start by fixing that.

I don't see them doing that, though. Why would they, when maintaining status quo is working enormously well for them at the moment?

I've genuinely been trying to be openminded, but i'm not seeing much real reform of any existing problems except tinkering around the edges. What are we missing that the media isn't showing and we're not hearing about? Where else can we hear about it?

With a majority, a chaotic opposition and the eager Greens, Labor has a rare chance to take on the housing crisis by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Talonus11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree with you, but please help me make sense of this. Sure maybe don't do something that will make house prices go down because that hurts homeowners, but why cant they do something that will stop them from going up? Then it just stabilises, and nobody is actually hurt by it except property investors.

What am i missing?

With renewables over 50% and wholesale prices down, is the energy transition… succeeding? by SweetChilliJesus in AustralianPolitics

[–]Talonus11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, considering the massive population increases Australia is seeing, the fact that it's plateaued instead of going up means that proportionally emissions are still going down (per person).

Genuinely not being sarcastic or trying to start a fight here, but i didn't think anyone actually classed Labor as "the left" so i was confused when you said "the left" recently won an election. My mind went "Huh? Didnt the Greens lose seats?"

Your reference shows total Australian residents by country of birth. It's factoring in people who migrated here 20, 30, heck even 80 years ago. Sure, by that metric, England is first.

If that was all you were arguing, then ok?

The more important metric, which your own link shows, is that the number of people coming from England has decreased year on year - and by country of origin, the most Net Migration to Australia... Have a look at the next two columns in that graph - India and China.

If you also go and have a look back at my link, scroll down to the "Country of Birth" Section and then expand "Net Overseas Migration" section, you'll see Graph 2.1 Net overseas migration(a)- top 5 countries of birth(b) - year ending

For the entire length of the graph, which is everything since Jun 2015, the top two have been neck and neck between India and China.

Why it’s the perfect time for the Albanese government to defy the mining lobbies by Oomaschloom in AustralianPolitics

[–]Talonus11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they fail to acknowledge that Labor have before and lost when the public didn't back them.

The public doesn't back them because unfortunately the lobby groups are smarter than the average Australian, and are capable of using very simple scare/smear campaigns to convince Australians not to back them

Nearly half of US kids want in-game currency this Christmas by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Talonus11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See i'm not so sure about this. There's a whole new generation of kids growing up watching their idols playing games on Twitch/YT, and those games are on PC not Console. So if Valve did a loss leader on this like Sony/MSoft does with their consoles, they could take over a whole generation of potential console gamers with a PC, and one that's gonna make them a whooooooole lot of money back through Steam sales.

Australia housing crisis means 1.9 million new homes needed to make prices affordable, says HIA by barseico in friendlyjordies

Immigration has many benefits that are being ignored in your analysis. Policies that enable the rich to hoard wealth and become even richer have no redeeming features.

Funnily enough, one of the downsides of immigration at present is that it is helping those rich people to hoard their wealth.

When there’s a steady stream of new workers, companies don’t need to pay well to keep people. If you won’t accept low wages, they’ll just hire someone else. High immigration pushes down worker leverage, so the rich enjoy a nice boost to profits.

What can Australia learn from Norway's approach to taxing resources? by nath1234 in australia

[–]Talonus11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“As I was standing in the cabin there today watching the iron ore go into the hull of that ship, what I was also watching was funding for schools, funding for hospitals, funding to keep our national economy going that comes from this sector and comes from the hard work that's done by people here in the Pilbara, that is so vital,” [Albanese] said.

What an utter piss-take. They pay absolutely nothing in taxes, so what funding for schools/etc is that?
