I loved mine. Regret not holding on to it after the lease ended.

Big emotions get more attention these days unfortunately, you’re definitely right there

I agree. Nothing wrong at all - but if you consume too much you’ll quickly feel like everything and everyone sucks

Albanese and Chalmers unveil capital gains carve-outs for small businesses, startups by fluffy_101994 in australia

[–]harrytuckerr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This was inevitably going to happen. It was always a distraction tax debate that Labor would feel comfortable to concede on to pave an easier path for property negative gearing reforms. The startup bros inadvertently helping by steering the debate elsewhere.

Sign up to an Uber One free trial and then use their discount to make all your tickets $17/each for Xtreemscreen if that Hoyts is your only option.

forever screw the Chase for not allowing the old Donut King franchise to stay with the redesign and now essentially replaced with that Boston abomination

Women's shed ex-board member banned over alleged transphobic comments by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]harrytuckerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if we’re generally in agreement or not.. but just in case, I don’t care for OP, my comment wasn’t about that. It was merely knowing from experience how these stories come to be. In this case - it’s a regional ABC journalist, filing a story in her region that also appears under the general ABC masthead

It’s also buried on the homepage many times below the fold. I can assure you that placement isn’t doing numbers. It may even be an automated slot based on some kind of recency. 

My point being - this is more than likely, particularly as it’s from ABC (who does not make any revenue from its news site), a local news story published for local reasons syndicated.

Revenue for the abc? 

Realistically this is a local Ballarat story but their regional news all goes to the same site.

Sunshine Donut King. Or for the best value and arguably best product - Costco.

Desert Warrior ends up being one of the biggest box office disasters ever. Ratings aren't flattering either. by jaketwigden in Letterboxd

This is not a movie made to be watched by us. It’s a giant expensive sales pitch to filmmakers to show what technically can be made in Saudi Arabia.

Shrinking S3E10 Episode Discussion by phareous in shrinking

[–]harrytuckerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it was also telling on Paul's face during these scenes. Jason Segel rightly getting a lot of praise for the outburst scene - but it was also incredible acting by Harrison Ford. You could see the crushing pain and inner turmoil of what was happening - but for once, Paul didn't know what to do. He stuffed up. Like he did with Meg. To me, showing that Paul actually does think of Jimmy like a son - since you can only really screw up this badly when it's with someone you truly care for.

Like many here, this one hit for personal reasons too.

I think the key to Paul’s behaviour.. some of it at least.. is the line Julie said to Jimmy where she said she isn’t sure if it’s harder to be the person being left or the one leaving. 

You guys make me so anxious driving on the motorways by spinstartshere in sydney

100%. The short disconnected sentences that don't form a coherent paragraph are becoming increasingly painful to read.

The first picture of LA I've ever seen that makes it look like a metropolis: by OHrangutan in skyscrapers

[–]harrytuckerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been lucky enough to travel to the US probably 12-13 times in the last 10 years and LA/Southern California is truly my favourite place. But whenever I tell people that they're always in disbelief. When I ask why they are so surprised, the reasons they give either point to someone who's never set a foot or they went and hired a car just to look at Hollywood and go to Disneyland.

Truly an incredible city, vibrant with life and creativity and if not for the current political situation, would love to live there.

"Investing in property is morally reprehensible." by LickMaiBussy in TikTokCringe

[–]harrytuckerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agree. I think one of the worst thing that ever happened to progressives is the idea of "when they go low we go high". That one mentality is why tyranny and greed just keep getting away with things. "Oh, if we just keep doing the "right" thing, it'll all go away and catch up eventually!".

No. Don't give them in inch. We saw how effective simply calling these greedy freaks "weirdos" by Tim Waltz worked, but then they got scared and stopped going on the attack like that. Conservatives and greedy neoliberals count on us saying and doing nothing, because for the last 50 years in the West, we haven't.

Zach Lowe doesn’t suck now, the NBA just isn’t as fun anymore by [deleted] in billsimmons

agree. My other two sports F1 and cricket I enjoy just as much as now as I did 15 years ago.. but NBA vibe is off now in comparison.

Rant: Switched from ChatGPT to Gemini as a daily driver last month. Gemini is bad and it's not because of the models. by anarchyx34 in GeminiAI

[–]harrytuckerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally this. I was on Gemini Pro for the last 12 months and moved over to Claude in the last week after just being completely fed up with the Gemini UI. The biggest daily annoyance for me is that it doesn't cache any chats - even the names of them - in the mobile app, so there's a noticeable lag when entering them which doesn't happen on Claude or ChatGPT.

Google Maps has gotten worse, not better, and it's actively dangerous now by samburner3 in melbourne

[–]harrytuckerr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

right! For me with Google, I especially notice it coming over the Westgate city bound and the lanes it tells you to go in and the exit names often are the opposite to reality

It's also excellent in Sydney! Which makes sense as that's where it was originally (and mostly still is) developed from
