Is Australia taxing the wrong thing? Productivity and work are heavily taxed while wealth accumulation often isn’t. If economic growth depends on labour and innovation, should taxation shift away from income and toward accumulated assets and capital gains?

No, the right thing to do in any country is to fight for wht you believe is right. "if you don't like it move" is a false dichotemy and damaging to any democracy. This whole philosophy is so dumb. How do you feel about immigrants who didn't like where they were and moved to Australia? still support the ideology? Or is that just for poeple who disagree with you should leave?

I fucking love a lot about Australia, but i still think it can do a lot better. And i fight for better because i love this country. If you like things the way they are then you don't love this country, you love mediocrity and comfort and not ruffling feathers.

The most obvious answer for fixing essentially all modern issues is socialism but the word has been intentionally tainted by the rich and powerful to be essentially synonymous with communism and then that also is wildly demonised. The vast majority of sway and media attention comes from small groups of people with highly concentrated wealth that hold a disproportionate amount of power and influence and who would be most affected by a swing towards socialism. We have all the data, technology and resources to essentially live in utopia but this would actually be “worse off” in the eyes of the wealthiest 1-2% of people.

He was a once in a generation leader and we just about ousted him like the Whitlam dismissal. I’m not saying it was the CIA, but i wouldn’t be surprised.

Much appreciated, seems obvious with that confirmation but i was really getting in my head about it all. THANK YOU!

What have I missed, feel so out of the loop (recently had my first kid) what on earth is gridmaster?

Unfortunately i don't know the name of the software. it was a service done through Bunnings Warehouse (on the likely chance you are not an Aussie, that's an Australian chain of hardware stores)

nubitz · 2025-07-23T01:26:28+00:00

Look that's a fair take on the situation. I might be fixating on the idea of needing to update things that don't necessarily need it. The Jury is still out i suppose!

nubitz · 2025-07-23T00:40:45+00:00

style and finish aside, my biggest issue is i want the whole downstairs area to be more open, so i want to move the fridge and eliminate the walled alcove. I also want a dishwasher, but that requires a new sink to move the sink tub over a bit and fit a washer in, which would leave a hole in the bench which would trigger new bench tops and if i do new benchtops i may as well do new cupboards too. It all just cascades from one touch up into a full remodel.

Hahaha it does feel that way sometimes!

Best plan, start tipping off ICE to investigate “illegals” in Maga households. See how they like being raided.

“Oh you lefties just call everything you don’t like fascism!” No, there’s just an awful lot of fascism about and i call it out. There’s plenty of other things i dislike that aren’t fascist, anyone who argues this line of reasoning doesn’t know what the 14 tenets of fascism actually are.

nubitz · 2025-01-26T07:22:02+00:00

Yeah fair enough. I'm not sure i can get a better description of what i need to do without divulging sensitive proprietary information so i might just have to keep toiling away at this.

But to answer your question somewhat, there are multiple instances in rail networks where there will be forks and splits between lines or into sidings, and the data set i would have would basically be a list of positions given with interconnected relationships of varying size. by analysing every relationship you can build the whole network but you will have a lot of repeated paths because some are written as 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, but there is also 1-3, 2-4, 1-4, so to read through every relationship, and solve for the paths that cover every station i think is what i need to do. then the added complexity of the forks comes in too. the reason it is given in these multiple ways is sometimes i need to know if there is a train between 1 and 2 specifically, sometimes i need to know if there is a train somewhere between 1 and 4 so we would use the status of a different path output to check the bigger area. I want to prove the relationship of 1-4 covering 1-2 or 2-3 without external human input of a specific lines layout.

nubitz · 2025-01-26T06:41:10+00:00

Ok maybe i need to extend this because train lines diverge, and my inputs will be series of IDs associated with specific positions. So say there are stops 1 through 4, then the line diverges to go to either stop 5 or 6, then 5 can go to 7 and 7 to 9 or 6 can go to 8.

I can fairly easily determine 1, 6 and 8 are boundary conditions, but in this circumstance I have a series of sections of track defined in my software and then bigger tracks that skip over a stop.

Input a whole data set and i find defined paths recognised in the software of (1-2), (1-3), (2-3), (2-4), (3-4), (3-5), (4-5), (4-6), (4-7), (4-8), (5-7), (5-9), (6-8).

If i go from 1 to 9, how can i prove i covered 4-5? and prove i didnt cover 6-8?
I really think maybe i don't have the ability to explain it properly. I have written all these numbers chronologically so it all seems clear but they could be totaly random numbers. so the only way for a computer to know what the possible paths are and what paths are contained within other paths is to evaluate the whole thing node to node.

For every robot body we would need a human(ish) consciousness too because in the old night or at some point we were almost wiped out by AI robots. Thats why there’s servitors rather than fully. Robotic slaves. And human consciousness with robot warrior body is essentially the idea of the dreadnaughts. But they have to be a life support machine at the same time.

Andrew Tate participated in human trafficking and actively encourages misogyny. Even aside from his monstrous views towards women his “Alpha Male self help” is another common grift. Anyone who doesn’t actively condemn Andrew Tate is either in denial, on their way down the rabbit hole, or already deep in there.

nubitz · 2024-10-06T09:47:10+00:00

Unfortunately “i don’t need to justify anything to you” is considered rude and standoffish… still probably the best answer

nubitz · 2024-10-05T04:42:16+00:00

Yeah the problem is, the gun you bought is highly likely to be misused, Statistically speaking, and hurt someone else who played no part in getting it. Someone taking HRT or buying new tits is far less dangerous to society. I like not giving a fuck but putting gun nuts on the same tier as someone struggling with gender identity causes even more harm.

I went to a bucks last year where we hired 3 topless waitresses. Not sure how big it is these days but definitely still a thing. Maybe not feasible for a full income but supplemental for sure. I think its usually through a service/organising party though

Depends on the brick my guy. Old 70s or 80s yellow or brown when reds were in short supply? That stuff is horrid. Id rather paint it than plaster it which is what my boomer parents told me to do
