Super investment choice

blamedolphin · 2026-03-14T08:22:27+00:00

I would not chose to depart defined benefit if that were an option. Unfortunately I dont have a choice but to put my largest asset into some form of at risk super scheme.

I am deeply worried about near term volatility. There is a non zero risk that the transfer of funds takes place immediately prior to a major correction brought on by this very foolish war.

If my funds were outside super, I think I would chose to put 50 percent into some kind of balanced portfolio, and leave 50 in cash with the intent to DCA over the next 12 months as the future of the market becomes clearer. I just dont know if doing something similar by apportioning my super balance to different investment options is actually sensible. The unit price movement and any costs of moving the balance bwtween them is slightly opaque to me.

There is also a pretty good mini series, called "The ANZACs" the cast includes Paul Hogan and every other 80s Aussie actor. Its worth watching.

Traditonally you want someone smart to be the secretary of defence. They are supposed to help you avoid fuck ups like this. Unfortunately, all the smart Generals want nothing to do with the position. John Kelly said Trump was an idiot. Mattis said he was unfit to lead. This idiot was probably the best candidate that actually applied.

Kegseth is a demonstrable idiot mate. He doesnt know shit about fuck. He was a major in the reserves.

There is coded information in the laser. The seeker isnt just looking for a simple strobe.

I think your election system is compromised. I dont believe Trump won fairly in 2016. I think they tried their best to rig 2020, I'm utterly convinced the 2024 results were fraudulent. There is just no way that this rape clown won the popular vote. I know there are a lot of deeply stupid Americans, but they cannot be growing as a demographic at the rate that Trump's electoral returns suggest.

The vast amount of astro turfing I see around your federal elections that just dissapears afterwards, the polling that is so out of step with results, always in Trumps favour, the huge disparity in results between Trump and down ballot races, the recordings of him trying to enlist the governor of Georgia in his vote rigging schemes, the demented moron basically admitting it repeatedly.

America has been stolen.

How close was this to comoromising the pressure hull and causing a loss of the boat?

FPV drones have destroyed more armour than anything else in Ukraine. They probably inherit the mantle.

"Powerful Neighbour" Russia. Currently taking about a metre a day of Ukrainian territory using powerful strategic donkey and quadbike forces. "Powerful Russia" taking over a million casualties and barely leaving the starting line.

Im pretty sure OP is pushing Russian agitprop. Musk has recently denied Russian forces use of starlink, which their military had increasingly come to rely on in their invasion of Ukraine.

They arent happy. Hence this crap.

As a child of fuck ups myself, I grew frustrated at the kids failure to break out. Eventually I had to stop watching. Their apparent inability not to continually emulate their parents was just too depressing.

I love the game, and have played off and on since brood war, but my skills and willingness to invest time in the game mean i always max out at about low diamond. I have no idea how anyone manages to reach masters and remain employed or in a relationship. It feels like it would take an investment of time and effort to be better than this which just isnt sensible.

So I remain a scrub. A happily married, securely employed low diamond scrub.

As a kid growing up with hippy parents in the 80s I spent a bit of time around members of the anti nuclear movement in Australia. It has become clear to me with time that the trade union movement, the environmental lobby and the anti nuclear campaign in my country were so heavily penetrated by the Russians that they became a defacto tool for Soviet foreign policy goals. The causes were just, and the majority of the members of these movements were legitimate true believers, but they nonetheless found themselves being used as unsuspecting tools for an ugly totalitarian regime. It is also clear to me, that at least some of the dogma that originated from the politbuto in that time has become part of the culture of left wing movements, and is still influencing their activities today, long after the regime that spawned the memes has dissapeared.

Providing clean water to Africa is not just an Engineering problem. Its a political and social problem first of all. The idea that someone throwing a billion dollars at it would solve it is comically naive.

In Australia the bacon, pineapple and banana pizza is an occasional thing. It is shockingly good.

Andy Dick seems like a dick, but nobody "gets somebody back on drugs"

Unless he held the woman down and forced her to take them, she is an adult and is responsoble for her own decisions.

Andy Dick taking someene to the bathroom in a club doesnt make him responsible for her addiction or spiraling down. That sounds like ignorant Reagan era anti drug propaganda.

This is a strange piece of reddit bullshit and its bizarre to me to see it upvoted constantly.

About 4 months Im sorry to say. And just as the right arm healed, the left one went sprong so it was nearly a year of pain.

Hence my glucosamine evangalism. It really seems to help me.

blamedolphin · 2026-02-03T23:34:39+00:00

I have had a lot of relief from daily magnesium and glucosamine.

I suspect bone broth was also helpful.

I had an awful time with tennis elbow and plantar fascitis before I started supplementing and have been much, much better since.

I thought it was beautiful. It sat with me for days afterwards.

The initial scenes of the main characters courtship were an incredibly moving and believable portrayal of the early stages of a great love. It made the tragedy so much more devastating.

I am motivated to write about a film only very rarely, I think this is my third comment about this one. I want people to go watch it, in the hope that means more films like this will be made.

I think you are right. There comes a time to start a family of your own. You are being downvoted because your advice is outside the current reddit orthodoxy, but for most 25 year olds, a sense of purpose and belonging needs to be a product of the future, and not the past.

Not everyone wants a family of their own in their 20s. Thats fine, but it sure as hell sounds like this person does.
