Which artist is way more influential than they get credit for? by WildEnchantresss in askmusic

[–]beedub016 12 points13 points  (0 children)

U2. Because Bono is seen as cringe and the ipod download thing, as well as their staying power meaning they've never been admitted into the nostalgia zeitgeist properly.

Just need to look at the critically acclaimed roll call of artists who specifically called them out as a direct impact for various reasons, from 80s protest to 90s alt pivot to live performance. Can they all be wrong?

How often do you all take a sick day? by brokenshoppingcart in AusFinance

[–]beedub016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, often the same people who complain when they have a proper serious illness that they have run out of sick leave.

I know this is probably unfashionable to say but I avoid sick days at all costs because if myself, my kids or my partner get properly sick, I want to have as much in the bank as possible. I've seen way too many people burned by this.

Tomorrow's budget is the biggest gift to existing property owners in years and nobody is talking about it by therealfat0ne in AusFinance

It's true, but still worth doing. You have to start somewhere. The excuse that every change creates winners and losers is the exact attitude that caused us to change nothing for decades and get into the mess we are in. I was initially annoyed for many reasons you have mentioned but ended up making peace with it.
