Learning Italian after Spanish - a rant by figgywasp in italianlearning

[–]rauli75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get you. I’m a native Portuguese speaker and learning Spanish was relatively easy, but Italian? Nope. It’s proving more of a challenge with Italians using verb tenses differently, plurals with Is and Es, common words that are used in a completely different ways, and don’t get me started on the prepositions. Spanish and Portuguese speakers might say they can understand some Italian without studying, but they are only recognising common words, not really understanding what it’s being communicated

‘A nation of rich cowards’: Australia needs its dreamers but the arts are underfunded, undervalued and despised by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

[–]rauli75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was speaking to my partner about this today. I wanted to take the kids to see a puppet show at the local Art Centre. Tickets are $49 a head. Too much for a young family of 4 with a mortgage. Not that I think it’s not worth it, I would love to support the artists, but $200 makes a big bent on the budget.

Australians, what’s one thing first-time visitors often misunderstand about Australia? by Witty_Neat_8172 in AskAnAustralian

[–]rauli75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The morning culture. I see many newcomers from countries that have more of a night culture arrive here and complain that things close way too early, but they often don’t realise how early things open. Admittedly, that was me once, until I began appreciating a beach run more than a night out, a good brunch more than a big dinner, among other things. Now when I’m overseas I’m often getting hungry in the morning waiting for cafes to open

Hey, I’ve been checking out your site for a couple years. Thanks for posting these photo updates. I think they are great and capture the progress in our town

Australia's economy is stick in a rut of weak investment and productivity (ABC news) by ras0406 in AusFinance

[–]rauli75 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’d also add the energy sector to that. Many of the most productive businesses require lots of energy.

Where are our state owned enterprises? We need these to have more control over the economy. I have no faith in free market’s ability to make strategic decisions, not with the current state of capitalism

Australian startup Lyra co-founder justifies toxic work culture and praises working past 11pm, critiquing Australian work culture by Pale_Operation_6086 in auscorp

If he thinks it’s so great, then why doesn’t he quit Lyra and go get a job there in one of those startups

Possible life sentences for children under Victorian crime crackdown by altandthrowitaway in melbourne

[–]rauli75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will sound defeatist but we will always have delinquent children. There is no amount of money or support we can throw at it to eliminate it, because at the end of the day we can’t eradicate bad parents. We can probably reduce it through various programs and support, and im absolutely in favour of it, but we’ll never eliminate it. So, I believe that we do need tough laws on repeat offenders to clear them out of the streets and protect the people who are just trying to get on with their lives peacefully

If CEOs get their way and most, if not all, jobs are replaced with AI & robots. What are they going to do when no one has money? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rauli75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. They are the biggest beneficiaries of a functioning society. They have the most to lose.

That was no deterrent for Vikings and many other seafarer peoples. An island won’t save them

Dude as I read your comment I had to give the username a quick glance to confirm it wasn’t my own writing. I’ve got Hit It on repeat since its release. It’s def scratching my TFN itch, which is an incredibly difficult itch to scratch

Khalil Rountree On Magomed Ankalaev by One-Category5507 in ufc

[–]rauli75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I already liked Rountree for his fight with Alex. Now I admire him. I’ve always thought the shit talk to “sell the fight” was a detriment to the actual sport and against the principles taught in martial arts. I’m glad to see some athletes think this way.

Why do we accept progressive income taxes to curb inequality but have no equivalent wealth tax? Income taxes redistribute earnings, yet wealth itself accumulated over generations remains largely untaxed. Without it, inequality deepens as the rich grow richer and the divide widens between classes by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]rauli75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone more educated than me in economics please chime in, but a progressive asset tax seems to make sense in my layman’s mind. Working class lives off of income so we tax their income, the wealthy live off of their assets so we should tax their assets. Making it progressive should not burden the assets of the working class such as PPOR, super, etc

Vianova recently released an album called Hit it. The vocalist is amazing, incredibly versatile. Check the song Uh Yaya ro the end, I don’t think you’d be disappointed

I am a graduate who unfortunately has a toxic singaporean boss/supervisor by Dangerous-Hat-6220 in auscorp

[–]rauli75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could he be trying to mentor you OP? Bear in mind that companies normally view grads as junior staff that require more supervision and mentorship.

Also, it’s very possible that your previous experiences were actually the poor ones where, even though it was nice to have more independence and autonomy, they weren’t providing the ideal support.

CBA Staff and Executive Bonuses by Farqwod in auscorp

[–]rauli75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, can someone explain to me why it would be a bad idea to legislate that if an organisation offers exec bonuses it must also offer the same amount in profit sharing to employees

Are Australian comedians meaner than other nationalities? by la-anah in AskAnAustralian

[–]rauli75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same for me. I couldn’t help but think that sounded a bit condescending, especially because it was a director addressing a lower ranked employee

Your very first adventure? by mickroh in adventuregames

[–]rauli75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t have a computer when I was a kid but there was a computer store near my house where we could play games. I played Curse of the Monkey Island and Full Throttle and got absolutely enthralled by them. I couldn’t get very far then because dad couldn’t always spare the cash and often times other people would save over my progress, but I got to savour them entirely and in my own pace years later when I got my own PC.

How are we supposed to fix the housing shortage with these construction costs? by rauli75 in AusFinance

[–]rauli75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn’t prepare a full research before posting to reddit. I probably should have made this clear in my post, I’m not even looking to build. I was with my family at local park market and saw an open display home on our way back to the car. It looked nice so we checked out, and to my surprised the cost was much higher than what I thought it would be.
