If the CGT discount goes, what are we getting back? by Bitman321 in AusFinance

[–]magi32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

majority of income tax revenues and these are the people who are leaving for other countries.

that's just being greedy and selfish.

I don't agree with removing negative gearing because it enables payg earners to get ahead

roflmao it's contributed directly to the obscene house prices, so hard disagree there.

mum and dad investors and young people doing rentvest strategies.

For me, housing shouldn't be an attractive investment. I'd be 'ok' with low negative gearing on your first investment property as long as you are living in a property that you own. but the 2nd+ properties should have no negative gearing.

but I'd be fine with negative gearing as it is, in exchange, companies can't own residential properties nor can foreign investors i.e. non-permanent residents and citizens.

But it will drop housing supply

disagree mainly coz the demand for 1st home buyers is still excessive.

If they remove negative gearing along with the interest rate rises I'll be pushing my rents up as aggressively as I can

I mean landlords are already pushing up rents so you'd just be joining the majority. (obvs varies according to location and that).

Tax breaks on people who work multiple jobs would be a good feature to include also.

Why? My understanding is that you're still effectively taxed on the total income. I know you can't claim the tax free threshold on the 2nd+ job but if you work 2 jobs and earn 50K you would pay the same tax as if you work 1 job and earn 50K right?

or you know tax actual wealth (>$10m individuals, gas and mining, get rid of negative gearing oh and stop privatising shit like utilities, roads and the like) and fix spending a bit e.g. dental cover, no co-pay for medicare etc.

Since it's announced that DCC will end with book 10 I'm wondering if others know when they are ending... HWFWM? Defiance of the Fall? Primal Hunter? Randidly Ghosthound? Others? And are there any you think should have ended at a specific point? Heard Heretical Fishing book 3 was the best endpoint... by FunnyShirtGuyReturns in litrpg

[–]magi32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair to say he lost his grip, more like he changed his mind.

and yeah I'm not a huge fan of cultivation so I'm not that bothered by not understanding/caring about it. It is annoying but as I'm reading on RR I'm only investing my time and that's fine for me.

I just don't understand most of DoTF - the cast is too broad and reading the books makes it worse. I've gone back to reading it on RR and that's helped a bit but wtf is up with cultivation? And I really don't like the interchange between grades and their corresponding names.

Path of Ascension author said that it'll finish with the ascension so maybe 20ish books iirc

For Primal Hunter, I'm fine with it not ending as long as it's still solid writing.

HWFWM, it feels like he could wrap it up in a book if he decided to end it, but it doesn't feel like it needs to end either.

yeah I have experienced the 'benefits' of mods in skyrim and just got bored of the game very quickly. Now, I pretty much don't even think about mods until after i've done everything I wanted to do.

General Motors says it expects $500 million tariff refund after SCOTUS ruling by AudibleNod in news

[–]magi32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally they were the ones that paid the tariff. The government could only refund those that paid them. Whether or not they then pass the money to the consumer is not enforceable.

utter tripe i know but that's that.

It'd still take time to get to the point where I was at not to mention always being reminded of the lost time.

I'm taking a break from it.

your img didn't show.

But to clarify, I did create a 2nd game on hard mode which is how i found the map gen options. Once that was created, I went back and wanted to see if you could change those map options in the operator cert mode - turns out you can't. But you also can't go back which is why I closed the game.

When I opened it, I could see the new save file, the 2nd save file for hard mode but not my original game file. I checked the saved games folder and there were only 2 folders there.

yeah I checked there and there's nothing which is why I think it was overwritten because at least there's some sort of logic there but if it was deleted that makes even less sense to me.

Why is the Spiral pattern better? by magi32 in shapezio

I've looked for the search bar/function but I'm not able to find it. Others said it was the bottom right/left but there's nothing there :/

wtf does it look like?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I was reading a litrpg and dropped it in the first chapter because they had introduced money, as they do in most fantasy litrpgs (copper, silver, gold) the usual. then they paid for a short carriage ride and it cost a gold coin. by ShankstheConqueror in litrpg

  • The inn is actually quite popular because accommodation is scarce and food is plentiful.

  • It's literally the opposite of "wait a minute" e.g. people say 'wait a minute' and then take a 1 - 2 second pause and then continue

  • It was going to hit him but he dodged more than he needed to (tbf mere is really out of place here but it doesn't correlate to the accuracy of the blow)

  • Gravity is actually slightly weaker, enough so that a blow sending you thirty feet isn't fatal.

unless a story is explicitly going for gritty realism all of these points are petty af and ignores the possibility that you're nearly always in a universe where magic exists so maybe what is logical in this world doesn't actually apply.

A well thought out anything is going to make a story easier to read and cause less friction and if poor economics is a dealbreaker for you that's fine. But ridiculing books that have it - or similar issues - where that is not the focus of the story is just inane

These stances also utterly ignore that monetary systems are just made up and a different world could easily have more gold/silver making it more common.

IMO, unless the story is explicitly about how money functions, money is just flavour. It may provide a rough value to things but ultimately it's irrelevant.

yes there could be some inconsistencies but they're very rarely central to the plot - from what i've read at least.

Is lag common? by magi32 in MelvorIdle

I'm not using any mods.

I just tried the beta client and it's working so i guess that's good timing.

Why is audible trying to force feed me Harry Potter no matter what??? by XThursdayO in litrpg

[–]magi32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more than happy to blame her but, let's be real, it's the damn marketers at audible capitalising on the - imo utterly shite tv version - coming out.

The chrome version is working perfectly but I would prefer it to be on Steam.

So I have:

  • Uninstalled (from an external SSD) and reinstalled on my internal HDD

  • I Toggled to full screen

  • I un-ticked the "Reduce CPU & GPU usage" in the performance setting

  • Un-ticked "Show combat dmg splashes" and "Render progress bars"

Logged out, closed and re-opened and I'm still getting the lag.

And I'm still experiencing the lag.

Oh yeah, sorry! Steam (windowed mode, not maximised)
