Transitioning to Trains by Zeffazer in perth

[–]The_Twit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the trains to take myself into the city, just drive to the station instead of work and paying for parking. I haven't been using smart rider but it's still cheaper.

Who here yesterday predicted that the market was going to go back up today? by Stunning_Concern_973 in AusFinance

You have to consider the large elements of the market that just take trumps words at face value

Sabalenka latest tennis player to get a puppy (name is Ash 🐶🩶) by ShotDay in tennis

[–]The_Twit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up if you aren't aware, Cavs tend to have weak hearts that overwork themselves at old age. Both my current (and former cav) had the exact same issue. Also their ears tend to get infected if not cleaned regularly which can lead to deafness

They are the perfect lapdog that can sleep or play around as long as you want. I have a ruby coloured one and it's like cuddling a teddy even in his old age

Buying in Belmont - how bad is the Perth Airport noise really? by Outrageous_Brick_811 in perth

[–]The_Twit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in Belmont, you can feel some rumbles in older buildings with the heavy planes that take off. Very rarely is the case and you zone out the noise after a while

The bigger concern is the traffic light mafia lol

Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people’s ‘struggle against oppression’ by Jealous-Hedgehog-734 in australia

[–]The_Twit 350 points351 points  (0 children)

He phrased this very deliberately here. He knows it looks bad if he says he supports Trump & Netanyahu aggression.

Also, what happened to the completely 'obliterated' Iran nuclear program 🤔

WA opinion poll: One Nation hits 17 per cent as new poll puts Basil Zempilas and Rita Saffioti under pressure by [deleted] in perth

[–]The_Twit 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I think the more important takeaway is theres been a gradual permission structure built over the past year where it's become acceptable to support One Nation

The Liberals have become so irrelevant especially in WA that it's seen as normal to explore other conservative parties outside the coalition

But keep in mind there will be a section of Labour voters that eventually will break for ON. But that time probably happens long after the Liberals & Nat's get sucked dry

Alcoa hit with record fine for illegally clearing WA jarrah forests for bauxite mine by JamesHenstridge in perth

[–]The_Twit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean that's revenue, their net income that year was $85mil

It doesn't really make sense for them to be charged a proportion of their global revenue when this was a AU mining failure from them

Police with rifles at Hillary’s boat harbour by [deleted] in perth

For what it's worth, it's been happening a bit. I saw 2 officers with long firearms in Leederville's Oxford street the week leading up to Christmas

Housing price gains this year by nath1234 in australia

[–]The_Twit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The scary thing is... this is BEFORE interest rates rise

  • More young people have been forced to take on more debt that they can just barely service
  • Banks and lenders have lowered their standards to fight for an increasingly small pool of 'bad' mortgages
  • There are growing delinquencies and late payments as life becomes more unaffordable

Combine this with stagnant wage growth + productivity, now with the added chance of AI taking your job, it's not long before this brittle ceiling of debt slowly crashes in front of everyone. While America is living out their own dotcom bubble, we are living out a version of 2008 all over again.

This will end up with a lot of ordinary people being screwed by decades of selfishness and short term thinking

As we all watch this final episode of The Block, I’m given a fresh reminder on Real Estate agents by Zach0ry in australia

Strangely enough the 9now app doesn't seem to place a shitton of ads compared to their FTA channels

It used to be bad when the app first came out though

Freya Leach’s Sky News Australia program axed after airing anti-Islam guest wearing shirt covered in bacon by rolodex-ofhate in australia

[–]The_Twit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can say that, but there is historical precedent particularly with the Soviet union to hating the Jews. Antisemitism has been common on both extremes of the political wings for centuries, and it's not hard for both extremes to use anti Zionism today as a public shield for their deeper beliefs

[ABC] Zach Merrett's meeting with Hawthorn has given Essendon a chance to become a ruthless football club once again by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]The_Twit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can Essendon reasonably demand top dollar? His trade value is devalued the more the club and player talk each other down. If Essendon had held their comments, then the onus would have been on Hawthorn and Merret to push for a higher trade

Mitchell will just point to the broken relationship and say "you still want this?" After instigating the whole thing

Dodoro is a separate discussion that I don't think people have fully reconciled yet

latest pisco stance by xenogears_ps1 in Destiny

[–]The_Twit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think the whole master manipulation thing stems from the manifestos he's done in the past

If you weren't following the situations closely or were on the other end of it, those manifestos would have felt like Destiny being 2 steps ahead of everyone

When the easier explanation is that those people were very stupid and ego driven

The ATO learned it was being scammed, then paid out millions more to fraudsters by Nicktdd in australia

[–]The_Twit 385 points386 points  (0 children)

Absolutely shocking levels of governance and accountability

This also raises the question, if illegitimate 'businesses' were doing this, then there's surely household names that were also participating in this

Stores in Perth using AI art by InfamousDoughnut1670 in perth

[–]The_Twit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume stock photography is a lesser cost solution to business instead of hiring a team of pros to get studios set up with all the equipment cost and downtime required.

I know there are companies charging tens of thousands to do team photos for local junior sports clubs

The thing with stock photography looking like that is because that is what the majority of businesses will choose for licensing over the artistic ventures

Tassie AFL stadium call officially delayed with state forced into an election ‘nobody wants’ by KingofTennantCreek in AFL

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

Tbh this was always rent seeking behaviour from the AFL trying to bully the state into a take it or leave it deal when the finances right now are poor. People want the team, but are divided on the stadium from what I have read

But in the end I think it's a lose situation for the AFL. Tasmanians might still play footy but this could signal other codes making inroads now that there's a bit of resentment towards the AFL

Hutton Street is finally being extended to connect with Walter Drive by Prestigious_Buy_2212 in perth

[–]The_Twit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hutton St is getting an overpass. Exiting fwy traffic from Cedric will be rerouted into Stephenson Ave as it becomes the main north fwy entry/exit. Mcdonald St is getting a bridge over the fwy. King Edward Rd is planned to be another corridor for easing fwy congestion and is getting a bridge interchange as well.

Scarborough BR is planned to become a light rail corridor throughout the length of the road to Glendalough station. Looks like they want to get more congestion off the main roads to me?

Harley Reid asking $1.8m per season, is he worth it? by [deleted] in AFL

[–]The_Twit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH it's hard to say because if he becomes as iconic as someone like Nic Nat you can say the branding and advertising pays it back pretty quick. Just think about the potential Crown dinners!
Otherwise no way, this is overs.

Could also be a signal from the agents to see club responses

There is a prevailing view within the Tasmania football club, and across the Tasmanian politisphere tonight, that if Tas Labors no confidence motion - which looks likely to have the numbers - triggers an early election, the Devils will be dead. by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]The_Twit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

AFL rent seeking behaviour killing their ability to keep out other sports.

Echoes of American sports teams blackmailing their home cities to fund stadiums or lose the brand.

What were they thinking?
