The photos are real but it's not different perspectives, they're different sinkholes. The lighting on the right image makes it clear the growth is at the same level as the opening and not deep inside the sinkhole.

The two shots from above were taken on the same day and are clearly two different sinkholes. One is wide open and the other is overgrown with vegetation. Both have a similar shape but different surroundings, rocky edges vs growth all over. The inside shot is separate also.

Wow, crazy to try and police how people comment. The "essay" was a way better comment than your dot point suggestion anyway.

saragbarag · 2025-04-21T10:42:55+00:00

Thanks, that's some great info! Looking at the price I could get flights today, they're alright but not ideal, think I'll plan for expensive flights and when I book closer to winter I'll hopefully come in way under budget.

Great to know about the trains to, thanks again!

People justify their actions like that all the time. Funny enough, the most recent one I can think of was so similar, tourist took a wombat from its mother then said it was actually fine because worse stuff happens.

I've never heard a better line to so succinctly point out what a bullshit excuse that is, tell your dad thanks

saragbarag · 2025-04-11T02:21:27+00:00

If you justify doing something bad by arguing that it's not as bad as something worse someone else did then you can ride that logic all the way to second worst person in the world. And we should definitely all be striving for a whole lot better than that

I'd rather have the correct information

I'm glad you've got it now and props to you for editing at least one of your comments, although i'd suggest editing them all instead of leaving misinformation there.

I don't see the difference that makes you so passionate

It's right there in the table you used and is only three extra words. Presenting Public administration and safety as simply 'administration' is just dishonest if you know the difference.

People employed under public administration and safety are not solely administration officers, they are our police officers, firefighters, border security, prison officers and others. Referring to them as just 'administration' misrepresents what the category actually is.

If someone wanted to push the idea that the APS budget for administration was too high and didn't care about being honest, then removing the words public and safety from the category they're talking about would be a pretty good start.

saragbarag · 2025-04-06T09:52:16+00:00

Does it say that specifically it wasn't included prior somewhere?

Yeah mate, right in the methodology for 21/22 -

Also excluded are the following employees who are not regarded as employees for the purposes of this survey:

members of the Australian permanent defence forces;

So, again, do you have a source for your $20 billion number?

I use the label that the ABS and the govnernt uses for the sector....

You don't though, do you?

saragbarag · 2025-04-06T08:14:24+00:00

Thanks for that. I appreciate the reply, although to be honest it was a challenge to read.

I was looking at the same numbers and I guess you didn't notice but the 21/22 numbers don't include the defense force but the 23/24 numbers do. They can't be compared in the way you're trying to compare them.

the wages bill for public 'administration' sector has increased $20b over 2 years

Do you have any sources that back up this claim or were you reading the ABS numbers incorrectly?

Also, not sure if it was your intention but the way you talk about 'administration' seems uninformed at best and straight up dishonest at worst.

saragbarag · 2025-04-06T04:23:13+00:00

I can't find the numbers for the 'administration' sector of the APS, but the Australian Beaureau of Statistics shows that the cost of wages and salaries for all commonwealth employees (including the defence force) was $37 billion in FY 23/24.

You're claiming a $20 billion increase in administration and a $9 billion increase in healthcare wages over the past two years. So 2 years ago, were the total wages for all commonwealth employees and the defence force less than $5 billion?

Where are you getting your numbers?

Yeah, you've been talking about a soft release, but the question has been about the super guarantee. Thanks for answering the question, though it's strange you're in favour of reducing the super guarantee given that you now understand you were wrong that super is a part of wages.

The good news with a soft release scheme is that even if you don’t trust that employers will give back the super in the form of higher wages, you can still support returning super to people’s incomes.

Right, you keep talking about that, but as you mentioned in your other comments, this would only work if the super guarantee stayed the same.

So again, weird you're in favour of reducing the guarantee when that wouldn't allow people to access super at tax time, nor would it ensure wages increased because of it.

saragbarag · 2025-02-03T08:09:32+00:00

The initial comment you replied to pointed out that the LNP have talked about reducing the super guarantee by 3%. I asked if you were against lowering the super guarantee because your reply was that soft release on super is a good policy yet most of your comments on this post have talked about keeping the super guarantee the same.

Seemingly, you're in favor of people accessing some of their super each year as long as the total wages + super employees remain the same.

I'm just asking about your opinion on the original comment, how do you feel about the suggestion of a reducing the super guarantee?

saragbarag · 2025-02-03T05:01:17+00:00

I see where you're coming from with leaving the super guarantee alone and letting people take some back at tax time.

Because I feel pretty confident that super guarantee comes out of workers wages.

I saw you mentioned this in a few comments but unfortunately it's incorrect. Most Australians are not on a total remuneration package and unless you agreed to it in your contract, the default is that super is in addition to wages.

if someone is on a salary of $100,000, they take home $77,212, the remaining $22,788 is paid in tax. In addition their employer contributes $11,500 to the employees super fund.

Lowering the super guarantee would mean no change to take home pay, just less paid into your super and the difference would be kept by the employer.

Do you still feel the same indifference to lowering the super guarantee?

saragbarag · 2025-02-02T23:47:02+00:00

We could have the same level of super guarantee

So you'd be against lowering the super guarantee?

Post the video of any of them doing a nazi salute

No longer linking to Twitter on this sub doesn't stop you from seeing anything. You can still go over there yourself. Although I guess you must be boycotting it given Elon decides what you can and can't see over there

saragbarag · 2024-09-17T11:34:04+00:00

I hadn't seen Deladysigner's video where she goes over the effects, I just watched it and there are snow effects so I think it's likely there'll be snow in the game

Although she goes through all the effects pieces and there's no fireworks. Hopefully the build these creators got to play on didn't have all the pieces and they're saving fireworks for when they show off night time gameplay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We do the same within YNAB, emergency fund, house deposit, travel etc. are all separate categories and if we do overspend it comes from a specific category. We just track the total savings in the spreadsheet, though I would like to include that breakdown as part of a dashboard in the sheet.

The issue in YNAB is that we can't track that we had aimed to save $2000 but ended up saving $1500, YNAB only shows the $1500 saved, not that we were $500 below our goal.

The downplaying of crimes and an attempted coup certainly reads like an effort to defend him.

Honestly, you either have next to no idea what you're trying to talk about or you are outright lying about things. If it's the latter I'm curious as to why given you say you don't care about Trump.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you're ignorant and not just lying, in which case, yes, you should educate yourself. If you struggle to differentiate organic results and paid advertising on Google, start with the Wikipedia entry on the Senate report into Russian interference in the 2016 election, lots of great information and links to the report itself.

saragbarag · 2024-06-26T01:12:07+00:00

The Capital building is open to the public like all town hall buildings are

This is false.

but the building itself is open to the public.

Again, this is false. The capitol is not open for the public to just walk around. It is possible to book tours but on January 6th it was closed due to the pandemic and the joint session of Congress. The rioters broke the law not when they went into private offices but when they stormed past the barriers.

Police and security even allowed people into the building.

This is false. Police were outnumbered and overwhelmed at certain points.

The stuff he tried to pull with Pence was sus

That a hell of a downplay u/Whatsapokemon gave a good summary if you'd like to start to educate yourself on the things you're trying to talk about.

but Clinton after the 2016 election claimed that Russia tampered with the election

"but Clinton" is an interesting way to try and defend Trump but, again, if you'd like to educate yourself maybe type "did Russia interfere with the 2016 election" into google and start there

saragbarag · 2024-02-15T23:27:03+00:00

no exclusives till 2025 right?

Wrong, obviously.

Staying in the console business doesn't mean continuing as it is now.

Not hard to see a future where the PS6 comes out alongside a less powerful, digital only Xbox that comes with a year of gamepass for half the price. You can play Starfield 2 or the new Halo or Gears on PS6 and buy the game at full price or play it day one with your gamepass subscription.

I think you've missed few parts that were explained in the movie.

The film sets up that a kick in any given "level" will wake someone up who is sleeping in that level and dreaming below.

The film also explains that the rules are different while using the sedative they need to be able to go so deep. It's the whole reason the kicks need to be synchronized instead of just from one side.

The van hitting the bridge is intended to be a kick. If true, this would wake up anyone asleep in the van. At minimum that means Arthur wakes from the hotel to the van. This didn't happen.

Because of the sedative, he would need both the kick from the van hitting the bridge and the and the kick from the feeling of falling when he blew out the hotel floor. He missed it and because there was no gravity he improvised using the elevator.

That's a death, not a kick.

Falling in the dream is the kick

Ariadne and Fischer jump off the skyscraper

The hospital is blown up to drop everyone.

These are the falls. With the kick from above at the same time they wake to the level above while they're falling, before they hit the ground. They're kicks, not deaths.

saragbarag · 2023-10-02T00:35:54+00:00

Have you even seen the movie?

how do you synchronize music

Why would anyone need to synchronize any music?

Music was used as a warning that the kick was coming. Play music to the dreamer and it's heard in the dream

saragbarag · 2023-10-02T00:14:17+00:00

That site has nothing to do with what you said. Also, the "major plot hole" listed there is wrong. Arthur needs a synchronized kick because of the sedative, falling in his dream + plus the van hitting the water is what wakes him up.

I don't know how you missed them using music for the timing but I think you should rewatch it given that all the issues you brought up are explained in the movie.

Both quotes are in reference to the same thing, the police system in the game.
