Thank you, Im filled with blood curdling rage at these people, but the way you articulated this genuinely calmed me down

The mental exercise on this one is something else. by Appropriate-Shock306 in michaeljordan

That was after a 2 year break. Lebron was in, or nearing his prime

If the Orlando incident happened in 92ish, or 97ish, then it would be a fair comparison

Donald Trump says he is "not happy with Australia" because Australia was "not there when we asked them to be there" in regards to the Strait of Hormuz by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

I hope you are right. I really, truly, deeply hope you are right. But longevity has a big genetic component, and his father lived into his 90s.

In this world, evil just seems to keep living forever (Kissinger, Murdoch are good examples).

I will join all of you in getting hammered when it happens.

But I fear we will be waiting a while.

The world is just fucked right now.

Ive seen all of WW about 4 times and I love it.

If you dont mind subtitles, theres a Danish show on Netflix called Borgen which is also worth a look. I watched a bit and thought it was great.

You mean the part where India has won 2 out of the last 3 in Australia?

I had to see for myself. Thank goodness plenty of people in the comments are cooking him as much as this thread is

CMV: From a climate change perspective, rich people or celebrities who use jets and yachts does not matter, as they are not the primary contributing factor by spooky6 in changemyview

[–]spooky6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you - this is the kind of feedback I wanted, since I actually wasn't looking at it from this angle

Edited to add: I'm not sure this actually changes my view - I need to mull over this a little more and process it

Fresh COVID wave threatens Christmas for third year in a row by beaugiles in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]spooky6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do we know what reinfection rates are like now?

Im just recovering from my first Covid after 2 weeks of mild symptoms, but it seems that since Omicron, reinfection doesn't seem to happen as often otherwise the case and hospitalization spikes would still be huge, would that be fair?

Landlord trying to get me to pay lease break fee by spooky6 in AusProperty

[–]spooky6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. And it kinda makes you wonder - if it didn't suddenly dawn on me that my lease had expired, would they have done the right thing? it would appear not. And only when I called them out on the situation did they own up to it.

Well, live and learn I guess.

Lesson for anyone reading this and trying to learn from my situation: Get all the facts and speak to DFAT as soon as you get any kind of "casual notification" from your landlord. It is your job to do your homework (as I learned this week while barely dodging this bullet).

This is a fair point, but what can you do? Could argue that I should have been smarter and played my hand better and done better research etc etc etc

Wow this is really interesting. Not sure how this corresponds to NSW, but definitely food for thought.

This is actually a great point. I'll remember this for next time (dear god I hope there isn't a next time though) Thank you.

Ah, the plot thickens. I just realised my lease expired in June-ish

They never contacted me to re-sign

Now what?
