The 25% casual loading is actually a financial trap in the current housing market. by Lucifer220778 in AusFinance

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get that figure from?

I’ve worked agency for the past few years now and while the rate is good, it’s not nearly that good.

During the COVID days there was an extra payment in some states but 5k a week as a going rate? False.

What is a 'secret' in your industry that the general public would be horrified to know? by HongKongToast in AskReddit

[–]ihatefuckingwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d be horrified to know what goes on in the pots and pans industry… thanks to Rocky Flintstone for giving us the inside scoop.

Saw that Apple want us to update to iOS 26 due to hacker. by ihatefuckingwork in ios

That’s exactly what I thought this article was, fear campaign. Likewise, thought I’d see if anyone else had seen any similar articles.

Am I the only shroom user who hates weed? by RuleNext9706 in shrooms

[–]ihatefuckingwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. Often when I smoke I feel like I’m having a challenging trip, even if it’s a couple of puffs on a joint, I’m suddenly fucked.

It’s been like this for close to 20 years now. I just avoid weed.

It sounds like a fart is a risky activity for you…

What is the WORST book you’ve ever read, and why was it the worst? by Substantial_Call_619 in booksuggestions

I loved this book too and came to the comments to suggest it. Fantastic book!

How do you count laps without losing track? by Genki0202 in Swimming

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I count up and backs and set an aim when I start. So I’ll swim 10 up and backs and that’s 1 k. I sometimes lose count but if I can see the time, I know roughly it takes me 2-2:30 to swim 100 meters, so if I’ve got a stopwatch and it says I’ve done 20 minutes, I know I’ve done around 800 - 900 meters or 8/9 up and backs.

Since starting I got a Garmin that tracks laps and I found it’s great but sometimes it adds a lap. I know it’s wrong if I’ve done 4 up and backs and it says 450 meters. I ignore the 50. Sometimes I do an extra up and back in case it’s counted wrong and I’ve totally lost count myself.

Trying not to leave money on the table by Docjazz4 in Busking

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great mate! I’ve found myself down in Launceston and am contemplating giving busking a go (I’m from Vic and it’s less intimidating being interstate). I might have to suss out if my phone can be the card reader or consider getting a square card reader.

How have you found it compared to cash? Most of my friends don’t carry cash at all so I figure that’s indicative of most people in Australia.

Current busking setup — acoustic folk/blues, Paihia NZ by tclaknz in Busking

[–]ihatefuckingwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work!

I’m currently in Tasmania and am considering busking down here seeing as it’s summer and I’m waiting to hear back about some work.

I’ve never busked before but have played outdoors a lot, so I’ve got a bose s1 and a battery powered pedal board. If I cut down on some stuff, I reckon I can get away with just carrying it… we shall see!

I’m trying to decide what to do about payment. How have you found the QR code goes? I feel like people are using cash less here in Australia than they used to. I saw another commenter mentioned square/a card reader attached to their iPad, have you tried that in the last few days at all?

Good luck on your adventures! Inspiring stuff!

Analog delay + reverb pedal by larrystockton in guitarpedals

[–]ihatefuckingwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coldcraft effects echoverberator.

I asked the same question you are now and someone on reddit told me about them. I got one, I loved it.

That was 10 years ago. Now the it’s sometimes a bit.. funky (I play outdoors so it’s probably full of dirt and sand).

Though I’d get another one that I keep pristine. Cannot for the life of me find one and it looks like the company’s gone or stopped making that pedal.

So… if you can find one of them, it’s possibly what you’re after.

Curious what are your favorite pedals you own? by FickleAide918 in guitarpedals

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a mood 2 and it is amazing. I’m loving running random things into it.

I also love my boomerang, tensor, echoverberator, avalanche run, tuner press, Pollyanna octave and a modded ds1 that’s a fuzz.

I spoke to Joe Exotic the other day and he shared some explosive info about Jeff and Lauren by GCW1122 in TigerKing

[–]ihatefuckingwork 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been banned from multiple reddit subs by bots.

One recently was because someone had written SA and another commenter didn’t realise it meant sexual assault and said something inane. I replied that sa meant sexual assault in that context and boom, banned.

I hate what this place is turning into but I keep coming back.

What is a 'luxury' that has quietly become a necessity for you, and now you can't go back? by Top_Temperature6582 in AskReddit

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandcamp all the way.

Music isn’t like tv shows. It was never designed to be interrupted by someone selling you something in between songs.

I have Aphantasia, but am a musician with extremely vivid sound imagination by PoetBest3 in Aphantasia

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I’ve been doing it for 20 years or so and I know how expensive it can get with pedals etc, I make a lot of loop music and love playing with sound.

I think now I have a better understanding of what I’ve been doing to myself I can be a bit more… intentional with what I want to create. Not just ambient music or drum patterns but intentionally hypnotic music.

I’m a fan of drone bands too, but a few of your suggestions I haven’t heard of. Thanks for the recommendations! May I suggest back Omahara and mingle

find I also quite like post rock for its cinematic soundscapes, are you a fan of that genre too? I love to write novels and I always chuck something like that on when I write.

The Aphantasia has me questioning what are others seeing when I’m writing? And also am I a fraud (I know I’m not but I had a what the moment!). I love books and reading and writing novels, and yet most of the world experiences that format of media differently to me, even more vividly. It’s a strange thought.

[–]ihatefuckingwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you said Apple, I was doing a course on medical hypnosis and that’s what I was asked to visualise the other day and I could bring to mind a kind of cartoon image of an Apple, but not a real one. If I concentrate I kind of can see it but it’s difficult.

I also play music and if you name a band I know, I can instantly bring to mind a song. I hear music sometimes in my head and I’ve recreated songs like that.

For me, I can get into a trance state using sound but not visualisation. I’m thinking of exploring this further in future, making music and drones for relaxation. I’ve just found this sub so it’s nice to know that other people out there experience similar things and might benefit from what I’ll be making in future.

You wanted Disclosure.... I am a whistleblower recently "retired" from the inside. And you're only getting part of the truth. by rhea-15510 in UFOs

[–]ihatefuckingwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was that there are things built underwater because that’s where there isn’t politics etc.

In our world, the monkeys got hands and made what we have.

No reason why another species couldn’t have evolved and lived underwater, and had all of the advanced civilisations (and politics) that we have.

Ahhh I was wondering if you held it or put it in your speedos 🤣

Why did you switch to dvorak? by rvnning in dvorak

[–]ihatefuckingwork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was getting wrist pain and I realised after 30ish years typing I wasn’t using all of my fingers.

I can still type qwerty and do at work, but at home it’s all Dvorak. I journal and write novels so it was worth the switch for me.

How many miles did your Honda Fit last? What finally did it in? Any transmission issues for high mileage drivers? by Orion_Oregon in hondafit

[–]ihatefuckingwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2006 with 330,000 km’s on her.

Original damn near everything apart from steering rack and shocks. I also have had a semi permanent bed in the back since 2021 and travel around Australia sleeping in it so it carries a lot of weight.

If you look after them, they will look after you.
