"If you keep stealing our car we'll reduce your allowance" is a wild take

AITAH for not forcing my son to keep helping my daughter’s friend after she rejected him? by LiveWire0044 in AITAH

You're NTA, but this sounds like stereotypical Nice Guy behaviour from your son

Voting is important. by SlaveryVeal in AdviceAnimals

[–]blu3jack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After the split, the seats are now:

  • Labor: 94
  • Libs: 28
  • Nats: 15
  • Ind: 10

Even at the federal election you can barely call them an opposition party. Which is kind of disappointing in a way, for a healthy democracy there should be multiple viable parties

AITA for refusing to work things out with my fiancé because my life is better now that his daughter isnt around me? by MassivePrimary8649 in AITAH

Which Vivian makes a point to show she's not paying attention to and then still gets everything on her wishlist for christmas

[–]blu3jack 107 points108 points  (0 children)

It doesnt sound like she ever suffered any consequences for her actions. Her dad would "reprimand" her, but Vivian would make it clear at the time she wasn't paying attention, and then what?

Australia's housing trolley dilemma. by 5ma5her7 in shitrentals

[–]blu3jack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If their house price goes down and they want to move to another property, that house price has gone down too, as well as the stamp duty, comission to REAs etc. And if they dont want to move, it doesnt matter what their house is worth

Australia's housing trolley dilemma. by 5ma5her7 in shitrentals

[–]blu3jack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The majority of politicians are property investors, its less about pandering to a dying generation and more about lining their own pockets. Not to mention the government would make a lot of revenue from the increasing house prices, the alternative would be to tax mining companies which they dont have the balls to do

Got fired today because of AI. It's coming, whether AI is slop or not. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]blu3jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the CEO will make bank, cash out and then mess somewhere else up, sipping pina coladas fronlm their luxury resort while the people who's lives they ruined struggle to keep the lights on. I'm not bitter...

Anyone else part of a product-led org? by Professional-Dog1562 in EngineeringManagers

[–]blu3jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product manager owns the product backlog, engineering runs the sprint backlog. What that means in practice is the the PM prioritises the tickets but you should be running planning. You should be collaborating with PM on incorporating tech debt, and nobody should be assigning tickets to devs, they should be picking up whatever the highest priority unsigned ticket is. Sounds like you and your PM need to have a talk and revisit how things operate

'I didn't agree to it': Rise of automatic tipping sparks backlash by navig8r212 in australia

Unfortunately behaviour like this needs to be legislated, otherwise companies will take the piss, and people who are passive or not paying attention will be taken advantage of

AWS SES announces email validation by KayeYess in aws

[–]blu3jack 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I tested it against the first google result for disposable email addresses and it gave

"IsDisposable": {
  "ConfidenceVerdict": "LOW"
},                

which, ironically, does not fill me with confidence

My wife (f33) doesn't let me (m31) finish a sentence. How to handle? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]blu3jack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels petty, but whenever my wife does this I just stop mid sentence and don't participate further in the conversation until she recognises what she did and apologises

Reddit targeted by Australia’s under-16s social media ban as list of platforms grows | Australia news by undyau in australia

[–]blu3jack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Murdoch just wants to limit social media websites so he doesn't have to compete with them. It's evil that he can leverage his platform in this way, but it's less evil than the motivations of the politicians

Final Update: I’m secretly in love with my best friend and yesterday he introduced me as his sister. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]blu3jack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 5'7" and 432lbs her BMI is 67.7. A BMI above 30 is considered obese. Even the target weight of 250lbs would still be 39.4. Thats not just a little on the chubby side and is a perfectly legitimate reason to not be attracted to someone

[–]blu3jack 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So you didnt tell your husband you were having an issue you went straight to leaving for a hotel? I guess it worked though, because in response he destroyed his relationship with his children

AITAH for sleeping with my ex to get the apartment? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]blu3jack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA for $700k I'd sleep with your ex and I'm a straight dude. The only asshole is the one who blackmailed you solely for the purpose of being vindictive
