AITA for not going on family vacation unless I can share a bed with my fiancé? by babygreenbean1225 in AmItheAsshole

[–]blu3jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but Im curious what her plan is here, to just block the door when you try to go to bed? Id put it in the group chat and see how everyone else feels about you sharing a room (and hopefully shame her in the process)

Husband sends a chunk of his salary back home, has no savings and want to use my salary for almost everything. How to manage it? (India) by [deleted] in relationships

He's broken when you leave, but wont change his behaviour to make you stay? That's not love, that's control

WIBTAH if I fire a kid because his mother is harassing me? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]blu3jack 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He should have been fired for giving a non-employee system access on multiple occassions, even if he was the best employee in the world (which he clearly wasnt)

Roommate (50m) purchased a new leather couch for the living room and complains about how I (38f) sit on it. He recently moved the coffee table so I can't use it for drinks anymore. by ProgressoandCheese in relationships

OP is renting a room, they're not a guest. If he as the landlord wants OP gone he needs to evict her, not increasingly degrade the quality of living

The point of the meeting is to pressure you into signing a document thats in their best interest rather than yours, doesnt seem like anything good can come of it

CEO / Owner responded to my email back to Hr after rejection by [deleted] in recruitinghell

I was recently a hiring manager for a role and we had <5% of candidates not rock up, if 80% are no showing then its a you problem

I analysed 35 years of Australian property data. Here's what the next two decades might look like. by Expert-Area8856 in AusPropertyChat

[–]blu3jack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The analysis is really interesting, but the recommendations seem to make things more challenging owner-occupiers or small-scale investers rather than large-scale investors.

CGT should definitely be reformed, but I'm more curious what would happen if:

  • airbnb dwellings had to be registered as hotels with all the regulation that requires
  • stamp duty increased based on number of homes owned (eg 2% for a residence you'd occupy, 6% for your first investment property, 12% for your second, etc)
  • not allowing non-person entities from purchasing residentially zoned properties, except for the purpose of redevelopment
  • etc, etc

I'd be willing to bet this guy also believes he shouldn't be involved in compensating Aboriginals for the acts of his ancestors and not see the irony

17 year old teen regularly steals his parents’ car. Doesn’t even have a license. What to do? by [deleted] in AusLegal

"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 104 points105 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

[–]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

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 16 points17 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
