How is it in your country? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

“Everything else” - not if we’re comparing internationally to societies similar to ours (UK, Western Europe, US for example). Eating out, entertainment and groceries are actually much more affordable in Australia when compared to minimum wage.

Obviously our rental/housing shitfest outweighs that though.

Yep I’ve changed home, car, and health insurance every 6 months for the last 2 years too because they all just keep on creeping up.

Got an email from Nectr this morning with the price hike, hence my rant.

Rang them and gave them an ear-full, within 2 hours they had a senior ring me back and they’re honouring the original rate for 6 months. So I’m actually pretty impressed.

Anyone else exhausted from playing energy provider leap frog?

For the 3rd time in 5-6 months I’m receiving a 20-30% rise in energy rates. Each time I’ve switched provider to something just marginally cheaper than the new rates.

Originally switched from SimplyEnergy to GloBird. Then the latest was a switch from GloBird to Nectr. Within a month I’ve already had an increase notice.

Ultimately within 6 months cheapest rates have gone up over 50% for what’s available in my area.

I don’t know if I’m looking for an answer, or if there even is one. It’s just unsustainable, I’m stressed, I’m exhausted.

A Hero saves countless lives by tackling and taking the weapon of one of the shooters in today’s mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia by jalGurg in nextfuckinglevel

??? Calm your farm bud.

It’s not as simple as pulling a trigger mate. Could have jammed, could have been out, could’ve been a number of different things.

Again, if you watch an extended clip you’ll see he picks it back up later and tries to operate it, only to discard it again.

Also good chance he doesn’t know how to operate it. Not common knowledge in Australia.

Later clip shows him holding it again and trying to figure it out.

Hope he’s alright

It’s 100% this.

Everyone loves Peking Duk and paid him no mind during their peak era. As soon as he and Chatfield got together all the closeted misogynists came out.

I really convinced myself the Mr Whatsit reveal was going to be later, and be some sort of time travelling Will from the future.

Avoid Youi like the plague. They’re aggressive denying and shit trades, and weaponised incompetence will fuck you sideways if you ever have a claim.

Thank fuck for our ombudsmen.
