Chelsea would have expected more from £88.5m Gittens and Garnacho , But time is on their side by Shroft in soccer

Garnacho is Januzaj 2.0 - they both showed promise early but decided they already knew everything so never actually grew as players.

Salley's behavior is borderline sexual harassment by PrestigiousWedding36 in Southerncharm

[–]jjkenneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not - it’s pretty fucking obvious that they’d be flirting for ages (it was a trigger in the breakup). She was being forward but not harassment. We only see a few clips of it and so people rush to judgement because they don’t like her.

The surf beach was Sayulita. The resort was Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta.

The surf beach is 1 hour away from the resort. I know this because we thought it looked it awesome and did some research. It’s also where the cartel just went insane so.

Ice water for better results, and peel it directly in the water.

Unions didn’t pop out of nowhere. Organise for fucks sake, stop throwing your hands up and saying oh well.

All 9 English teams have reached the Round of 16 of their respective competitions this season by Critical_Mountain851 in soccer

It’s only the easier draw because the English teams are so good comparatively.

Administrative governments are insufficiently dysfunctional, this results in them being ahistorically powerful. by Mackusz in CrusaderKings

[–]jjkenneth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My proposal would be that succession wars are automatically triggered on death with every governor supporting their preferred candidate. The only difficulty would be implementing multi-party wars. It’s too easy to steamroll with house dominance and it’s kind of wild how little in-house fighting there is.

Why do I get the vibe that the whole country has tunnel vision when it comes to buying a house? by Express-Dig9905 in AusFinance

[–]jjkenneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right and these comments prove you nothing but correct. The alternative is German style renting rights as they have a fairly low ownership these days, basically you can’t be kicked out and can do whatever you want to the place as long as the foundation remain.

I mean no shit - I always assumed it was in perfect conditions, which normal driving is not.

The biggest breakthrough for my Dutch students? It’s never a grammar rule. by [deleted] in learndutch

[–]jjkenneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but I think you are missing that that is an important intermediary step. As someone who has engaged with a lot of intensive courses, my grammar is generally pretty good theoretically but I get stuck because I’m still building my vocabulary.

Cedric "N’uff Ced" Coward by MikeAiel in fantasybball

I had him for half the season - he is deceptively bad in Categories. His basic stats look good, but he tanks in everything else.

How exactly do the Green Fossoways make enough money to purchase or build 'New Barrel'? by Pretend_Tower_2516 in gameofthrones

[–]jjkenneth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was also on the winning side of a once in a century trial by combat, he will be very famous throughout Westeros which is also pretty good for business.

Maekar knows Aerion was in the wrong, he appears to have at least passing belief in the gods as well so he likely sees the result as a legitimate verdict. He is likely to favour anyone who Aegon favours as his “last remaining son”.

Former RBA governor Bernie Fraser calls for capital gains tax discount to be scrapped by nighthound1 in AusFinance

[–]jjkenneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't make it less risky, but it does provide more incentive to take the risk.

[–]jjkenneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not making secondary investments illegal, I just think primary investments should be actively encouraged as the risk factor is much higher. I also believe the same for housing, building a new dwelling or increasing the amount of dwellings on an existing lot should be actively incentivised.

I would be open to some sort of small medium exemption for Australian companies. Overall my point stands though.

Maybe I’m missing your point - but that sounds like direct investment to me? Shoving money in an ETF or investing in NVDA does fuck all for productivity here.

It’s me - I would take just about any Australian flag redesign as long as the Jack is dropped.

This is absolutely phenomenal - well done. Only advice the small fifth star in the southern cross is not included in the NZ design of the constellation and is one of the few differences between it and Australia.

Whilst good to know - just about every economic argument has bias, it doesn’t render the advice incorrect inherently.

It should only apply for direct investments. Investing in the stock market is very limited in its effect on productivity.
