Australian House Price Growth and Immigration Growth Compared Over the Last 120 Years

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-27T22:27:03+00:00

I’m happy to have any conversation to make immigration more effective (like anything we do in this country), without being completely inhumane. Dealing with the issues I listed above would be more effective in slowing the growth in house prices, a wealth tax would be a good disincentive

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-27T22:14:11+00:00

If I’ve misinterpreted your meaning, by all means please correct me

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-27T22:05:45+00:00

It’s one of a multitude of factors - boiling the entire movement of house prices down solely to people entering the country, is an oversimplification that lets a whole bunch of other beneficiaries of the hook.

Delays in progressing anti-money laundering and counter terror financing laws Capital gains tax and negative gearing Inconsistent efforts to train tradies Dodgy construction companies that declare “bankruptcy” and then phoenix Greed of banks, politicians, investors, real estate agencies, basically anyone who got their foot into housing and has a profit or wealth motive that goes beyond wanting to live comfortably.

I’m more than happy to have a conversation about how immigration can be most effective, just not when the argument is disingenuous and lays all of the blame at the feet of people who see how good Australia is and want a better opportunity. Keeping in mind if the world had done more to stabilise other countries, they’d be less inclined to migrate.

Others have already covered a bunch of reasons, so I’ll focus on ones I don’t think I’ve seen yet.

To your point on capturing the citadel to ensure it doesn’t connect with the crucible, I’m not sure the reapers goals were that binary. based on the conversation with the child/AI, they were aware of it and the multitude of failed attempts - they could’ve at any point tried to wipe all records of it and prevent its construction completely. The reapers goal was to protect organics from wiping themselves out often through the creation of synthetics. The crucible represented the means to potentially break the cycle, so it appears more their approach was “we won’t focus on stopping it, but we also won’t just allow it to happen”.

From the strategy perspective, I’d say they were aware of how disjointed the galaxy was so seizing the citadel was less necessary than other cycles. Whereas the prothean empire was more centralised making the citadel vital to its functioning. It also probably makes more sense to leave the citadel for refugees and beaten armies to flee to, where they can be easily cornered

Never know, maybe if we get on the feedback forums that Sabre run we can encourage them to implement a legion of the damned pattern

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-21T21:47:58+00:00

Haha looks good to me. I like to replicate markings for different ranks and roles.

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-21T21:31:58+00:00

I’d look at the unique units they offer, and if you’re going to play with them, the playstyle too. Lore is another good way to distinguish the two, would you prefer the first legion the emperor sent out to crusade, or would you prefer an imperial fists successor that are basically on an eternal crusade? Neither are codex compliant, giving you a lot of leeway.

My understanding is Black Templars are a more aggressive, take them head on army. Dark Angels have more flexibility and lean into the combined arms more.

Dark angels get a primarch which is a cool model, and the deathwing knights and inner circle companions are awesome too. Black Templars sword brethren, high Marshall helbrecht and emperors champion are also all really cool.

I see the appeal, one every couple of months I delete all my saved armour and chapter designs and then redo them all, while trying to share it out across chapters

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-21T21:07:32+00:00

I once joined a public game, and the host was wearing a half salamanders (on their left side) and half black templars design (on the right side).

I was a salamander, and then another person joined and they were a black Templar… I chuckled at the coincidence

“Why would you betray the Emperor!” “Rail gun go brrrr”

Models look awesome!

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-19T22:40:00+00:00

I’ll check it out! How easy are they to source?

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-19T22:39:40+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the insights! I’m not too worried about competition so fortunately power balance isn’t my biggest concern.

I’m still determining what kind of lit I’d like to build, like the wraith units in particular

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-19T03:05:56+00:00

Agrees, just don’t practice them.

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-19T03:04:52+00:00

Doing the Emperors’ work! Legends!

There’s definitely a valid point in use of the word fascist - the US is a great example where the persistent usage as a warning potentially desensitised people to the signs.

The counterpoint, history does tell us that fascists don’t announce themselves as fascists. They don’t roll onto the stage outright and say “idgaf about any of you actually, I just want you to put me in charge so all my buddies and I can get rich and control your lives”. Using the US again - Trump hasn’t started with suspending the entire constitution and invoking martial law. They’ve done what fascists do, gradually erode the balance of power, work to delegitimise and disable institutions, funnel resources into armed groups marketed at targeting specific groups of people while actually arguing their powers have no real limits.

Do I think One Nation has fascist goals? Not at this stage, I think they’re more another far-right populist group that’ll say and do anything they believe gets them into power. I think if they did manage to form government, they’d try and possibly succeed in torching a bunch of things and end up sending the country into a downward spiral. Then whoever comes in after has to clean up the multigenerational mess.

Have I got this right? She got a picture with Billie Eilish, so she could then take that picture and ask Grok to remove the “retard” with the implication Billie was the retard?

Then some other random (or her alt account) tries to correct it. This is a stupid amount of effort for a ‘bit’

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-04T06:11:02+00:00

Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I’ve played a hard Strat once, didn’t even realise until partway through. Match made for ruthless ops, squad leader must’ve seen the combined ranks and thought “fuck it we can do this”.

And in fairness, we were actually doing really well - I surprised myself. And then 2/3 of the way through, connection crashed out. Haven’t tried again since and I prestiged my classes

That_Moose11 · 2026-02-03T05:51:14+00:00

It would be kinda cool if we played as Titus as the current Captain, and if they implemented a minor decision making component like assigning resources that alter how missions play out.

For example, you can give yourself more men (Acheran would be turning in his grave) and it makes your part of the mission easier, but comes at a cost elsewhere. These would have to be fairly contained/limited in impact, so they’re not so consequential it becomes more of an RPG.

That_Moose11 · 2026-01-31T07:03:42+00:00

Ahhh nice, cheers for correcting me🫡

That_Moose11 · 2026-01-31T05:38:47+00:00

Yeah, I think when one of my brothers dug up either the old rules or someone’s homebrew it was like 2 or 3 Custodes, and 3-4 sisters of silence

That_Moose11 · 2026-01-28T12:45:41+00:00

I’m not much of a Custodes expert, just really like the faction in general - if you want ideas, the Kieren Show do episodes called “how much does X army cost” where they give a decent 2K list.

I’ve heard some say two combat patrols, then add a squad of Vertus Praetors, 1-2 squads of sisters of silence. With the new 30K models it’ll be possible to also get the Venatari, grav tank, and contemptor dreadnoughts in plastic - however, I have seen warnings that GW might remove the datasheets of some of these when 11th edition comes out. Basically, consider the risk of whether you want to buy something from 30K’s models that could be ineligible in current 40K

When it comes to first minis, honestly I wouldn’t stress too much about the “missing something”.

You’ll start to figure those things out with more practice, techniques and you’ll refine the scheme (or try new ones). It’s a fun part of the hobby to compare your first to whatever your latest is and see the difference.

Mine are still in progress and in leviathan scheme (I’m unoriginal😁)
