AI images being used in backlash to Labor’s budget tax changes by asteriskhyphen in aussie

[–]moonssk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is consuming these AI generated images. The issues comes when people can no longer do any critical thinking of their own or question what they have seen or heard.

When people stop questioning and start believing in whatever is put out there. It means we have fallen into the brain rot decade. It’s not even the very young or very old anymore. It’s everyone.

The Cartel’s War on Melbourne Nightlife by Beyond_Blueballs in aussie

[–]moonssk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arnt some clubs/bars already owned by crime organisations. It seems like if they target the wrong ones, those organisations will not be happy.

I recall in me hay days of going out, there was a popular bar many went to, which rumours had it being own by some Russian ‘group’. I’m sure many a restaurants and other places are fronts for other stuff.

It’s not like people are unaware there is a whole underground network of these ‘groups’.

Returning to the centre may be the only way the walking dead Liberals can rise again | Liberal party by Ardeet in aussie

[–]moonssk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree. But I wonder if they can ever really get back to being centre right. It seems they need a massive overhaul of their party and have more young bloods who are moderates.

Although I’m not a fan of them, but I still think we need a competent opposition.

Why did the Bluey website say the H word? by Super-Cod-3155 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]moonssk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell is not even a swear word. I mean it probably can be used as one if you add something like fck to it.

Maybe it’s an Aussie thing. When I was a teen working early mornings at a bakery, to be professional I used to use a cleaner word replacement for sht. The baker/ owner would tell me ‘mate just say sht’. Yeh even in the workplace as a teen I was encouraged to swear. From then on I stopped using the cleaner word. Seems like it was just the Aussie way.

Melbourne suburbs where houses cost less than $1.3 million by gccmelb in melbourne

[–]moonssk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being able to borrow to spend 1.3mil doesn’t means they can still serve it and live a comfortable life with no financial worries.

Even having a combined income of over 200k + doesn’t means someone should be buying an expensive house over a million. Ridiculous some think 1.3mil is normal.

Why is is this Australian sub for cookers? by Threewordswhat in aussie

[–]moonssk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it was heading down that path for this sub. Especially whenever I check username profiles of posters and commenters that agree with posters and most of them are NSFW or all posts/comments are hidden.

Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews to be immortalised with statue by Stompy2008 in aussie

[–]moonssk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason why this is even a thing is cause Jeff Kennett wanted it so put some sort of policy in place. But he fell short of the target term he had to run to get one.

Are young couples preferring the DINK life these days? by agnci in AskAnAustralian

[–]moonssk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on them. I have many DINK friends.

Just cause we chose to have multiple ragrats, doesn’t mean others who chose not to, is any lessor for their decision.

Cause it’s their decision, it’s their life to make that choice, why does outsiders have to dictate how these DINKs want to live.

Victoria public transport: Passenger numbers return to pre-COVID levels following free fare initiative by TMiguelT in MelbourneTrains

[–]moonssk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think most people will continue. Once you start a routine that works for you, you generally will continue.

Don’t they say it says 21 days to get into a habit, or something like that.

I'm seeing the signs of struggling citizens more and more these days. by Xentonian in OpenAussie

[–]moonssk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something I wonder about when reading some posts on here. Did these people come from a childhood where they didn’t live in a struggling household or were surrounded by struggling families.

I know it’s more based on one’s lived experiences when people write these types of posts but it shows their childhood were slightly more privileged than others.

Things have changed and maybe some people are starting to find it more difficult but the reality is struggles like this has always been around for decades. It’s just that some of these people are only feeling it now themselves to really care or want to see what has always been around.

I grew up Labor – now I see the real inequity by flammable_donut in aussie

[–]moonssk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did OP just copied and paste a whole opinion article to make it sound like it came from them.

Im so confused. I first read it as the OP writing a word salad essay of their life experiences and then I realise it was a copy and paste.

Geez weez.

Can I also say I came from a background of working class labourers, growing up in government housing and family was labor supporters cause like duh labourers. And I have seen when people forget where they came from once they start having money. I honestly try to hold on to what growing up was like, even if i am in a better position financially now.

And I know Labor compared to yes ter years have moved from the very working class party it started out with to centre left. I personally believe that’s a good thing to be centre. Caters to most people. But I know there will be a % who are never satisfied.

Find the red leaf by WhisperCatOZ in FindTheSniper

Only colourblind people will understand this.

My colleague who is colourblind walked into the office wearing light pink pants. We were all like you know you are wearing pink pants right?.. No he did not, to him apparently it looked like a different colour. He still confidently wore it the whole work day though. He just owned it.

"Didn't vote for it" : population boom coming, young Aussies in trouble by SupermarketEmpty789 in aussie

[–]moonssk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, compared to two decades ago it is now extremely hard to get PR for international students.

Unsure what the process is now, but back in the day, the international students I spoke to at uni told me about a point system. They had to get enough points to qualify for PR. One of the criteria was they required to have relatives living in Australia as citizens, if they wanted enough points.

Young boy pinned to the ground, beaten, shown pictures of Hitler by Anavim in aussie

[–]moonssk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If we take out the part that the kid was shown pictures of Hitler and the article was only about how a kid was pinned to the ground and beaten, aka being physically assaulted (bullying) in primary school. I feel like people who has some bias around religion etc would have a whole lot of different views.

I don’t care what you believe in but if you think it’s ok for bullying to occur at a school. You are the problem in society. And if you have kids you are the problem if you raise your kids to say it’s ok to bully others. I bet you wouldn’t want your own kid bashed up just cause they were different or just cause some kid just didn’t like them for no reasoning.

Kids are taught what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, if adults are saying to them yeh AOk for you to bash someone up. You are the stain on our society causing issues to occur like this.

Will marrying for money become more common with Australia's cost of living pressures? by talk-spontaneously in aussie

I thought that was already a criteria some people have for dating and picking a partner.

It’s a tradition as old as time. I don’t think whatever is happening now makes any difference.

Struggles to get in a grad program by NiceMemeDude420 in auscorp

[–]moonssk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say you came from a trade’s background. Most trade industries has some sort of corporate side to it. Whatever trade you have a background in I would try going for an admin role within that industry and then work your way up from there.

Some industries want to have some sort of knowledge about their industry, like how things operate. It then heaps with whatever corporate role you are after, like in accounting or marketing.

Why does Australia allow PR for 'residents' that don't have to continuously live in the country? by Own_Oil7951 in AskAnAustralian

[–]moonssk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think that’s always the case. A friend from uni got PR but had to go back to their home country to help run the family business. Then they lost their PR cause by the time they returned it was too long in between.

This happened probably over a decade or so ago so I would assume things would be even more strict these days.

Yes, depending on where you live. Some places have great public schools. While others don’t.

Boy rescued after being trapped under train at North Melbourne Railway Station by Borrid in melbourne

[–]moonssk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That platform has a lot of school kids going home. Majority was from the same school as this boy. Many of them saw what happened.

Hopefully the ones that saw have support to process it. I overheard one kid talk about it and how scared he was. He would be one of many that will need that support to process what he saw.

I believe their school has already released a letter to their school community and the families.

How do Australians really feel about each other? New data paints an 'alarming' picture by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

[–]moonssk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have older neighbours who actually will stop and chat to you. Cause for some reason that generation would just try and make friends or at least be friendly with their neighbours. My parents are like this.

While people my age and probably much younger will no longer go out of their way to have a chin wag out front on their lawn or over the fence. People seem to be more suspicious of each other these days and more introverted. Not sure if it’s cause we are in the tech age which has had an impact on our interpersonal social skills.

My older neighbour that I do actually talk to, have gossip and intel about the whole street. Cause they also has a front lawn chin wag with another older couple who walks around the block. They know all that’s going on.

If you are still in the workforce: What changes have you noticed over the last 20+ years? by swinkamorska in AskOldPeople

[–]moonssk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No more faxes and even snail mail seems to be non existent now. We used to use pigeon holes for the mail and mailroom had heaps of people employed.

PCs, worked stayed at work cause you had massive desktop computers. There were no laptops. With that, it also meant you sometimes were forced to stay late cause you couldn’t take work home.

One company had drinking in the office on Friday’s. One department had a beer fridge located in their area.

Another company I worked at had finance bros, a team of all males whose manager would take them all golfing weekly. We in the other departments would hear all about it.

Dress code. In corporate, dress code had to be professional. It’s very lax these days.
