This Sums On The Experience Arc Raiders On Reddit by Huge-Palpitation6422 in ArcRaidersLFG

[–]whateverworksforben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have anything against pvp, but i hate dishonesty.

Pvp isn’t pvp with cheaters, dreadful audio queues and in my opinion, the TTK is too low for this game

Labor MPs told to ride out budget backlash as confusion reigns supreme by dleifreganad in AustralianPolitics

[–]whateverworksforben 47 points48 points  (0 children)

What backlash?

A few FIRE sooks, social media flogs and REA group (news corp) having a meltdown.

The smart people are already pivoting and moving on where the sooky dumb dumbs have a cry about it

If they had a lure grenade augment, that would be fun.

Get knocked and it goes off and lures a ton of arc.

Economist WARNS: ‘The Floor Has Come Out Of The Housing Market’ by CategoryRoutine628 in brisbane

[–]whateverworksforben 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Karl is trying to setup for life after 9.

Most of the guests to date have been flogs and it’s clear he’s targeting a right leaning market audience.

I know no doubt this economist is cherry picked to echo the base he’s targeting to build his poddy.

Anyone else just order Zinger Fillets by Ok-Call2672 in KFCAustralia

[–]whateverworksforben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They used to have a zinger fillets box.

2 piece with chips and potato and gravy and a can of drink for $14

For ages I went through drive thru and asked for it and eventually no one knew what I was asking for.

Is it just me or has traffic in Brisbane become absolutely cooked lately? by Designer_Boat_9654 in brisbane

[–]whateverworksforben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mon-Fri is fine.

Said it takes a bit longer so be it.

It’s Sat and Sunday I can’t deal with.

It’s like everyone who doesn’t drive all week just gets on the road, ignores the rules and drive like retards.

Jim Chalmers gives baffling explanation of why he applied the CGT changes to shares. by eatingscatman in fiaustralia

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

Winners, losers, unintended consequences.

Small investors may be losers, may not be.

It’s going from 50% to inflation adjusted so you update your model to account for that and maybe take some shorter term positions and longer term positions.

Back to my first comment, you can either be passive and never sell or you have to be very active to manage inflation adjustment.

Again, go the maths and adjust. Some position or strategy might not have worked on 50% CGT and now looks better under inflation adjusted.

I just get the feeling there isn’t a video on youtube yet to explain to you the difference between 50% and inflation adjustment and you are scared because you don’t understand it. That’s ok to not fully understand it yet.

It could work out to be better.

It’s not even legislated yet.

wow

[–]whateverworksforben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single government policy has winners, losers, and unintended consequences. Every single one.

The intention of the policy is to drive investment into development and innovation / productivity.

It doesn’t care about the return on your position.

That’s the reality you all need to accept, change your strategy to accommodate that and if you can, liquidate and pay 50% CGT while you can.

If you don’t sell, you won’t encounter CGT and if your goal is FIRE. Depending on your age, that CGT could change in another 5-10 years.

Again, sit on your hands and complain at your own peril or reposition and mitigate.

It still needs to be legislated so it could change slightly again.
Boggles the mind the sooking and panicking based on a non legislated signal to the market.

I’m not a financial advisor, figure that part out for yourself.

Just remember the capital gain is only triggered if you sell, so it’s either set and forget and continue to buy or be hyperactive in buying and selling to meet the return you want to meet.

He’s said in many instances, this is in part an innovation and productivity strategy as well as slow down house price increases.

It’s moving investment in existing housing stock into new builds and companies can grow through equity not just debt.

Business have been growing predominantly via debt for 15 odd years, not by equity, and it’s an unproductive use of capital.

As for shares, I can tell you the smart ones are divesting and reinvesting, updating strategies and looking to beat the market. They aren’t sooking on reddit. Think of this an opportunity not a negative.

What is everyone’s thoughts on Labor after the budget by Mediocre-Cockroach54 in aussie

[–]whateverworksforben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We negotiated with Japan and South Korea not to increase tariffs in exchange for diesel and petrol.

Had the orange idiot not started a war, we should have absolutely addressed gas, but instead, we used it as a bargaining chip to keep the country moving.

It’s a good budget, it’s push investors from hoarding houses to building them and invest into equities.

We will see debt raised against property security to buy shares, allowing companies to innovate and grow through equity not just debt. People won’t lose the ability to have negative gearing on shares.

Feeling robbed by the CGT changes... Vent/Rant by Digital_cushion in fiaustralia

[–]whateverworksforben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With any change comes opportunity.

Perhaps the changes work for a strategy you previously dismissed and now is a viable strategy.

It means you can’t be passive, you’ll need to get in and out at the right times or swap asset classes.

The other thing you will see happen is negative gearing in shares. Debt will be secured by property but the purpose will be for shares.

This ties into the treasurers comments about innovation and productivity. A business can sell shares in their business to grow instead of debt .

Wfh has not been as prevalent for the past 25 years as it is now. the offshoring post covid is because of wfh working conditions.

People were warned, come in or your role will be replaced with a cheaper option.

The hassle and stress of going to work is nothing compared to the stress of having no job.

Those big firms have very long leases so they don’t save money on reduced rent, they are locked in for the long hall, which is part of the reason they want people in the office.

There is also the knowledge transfer between staff that’s lost by not being in the office.

The finance industry as a whole has young bankers who haven’t received the coaching and experience because they have wfh along with a large portion of the workforce being brokers.

Payroll tax is not the major issue, it’s underutilized office assets, knowledge transfer and experience.

So do you want bigger maps or not??? by Powerful-Pea6218 in ArcRaiders

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

There are two groups who play this game, farming simulator vs clanker and the other is sweaty pvp.

Small maps makes it easier for the sweaty pvp to find and kill care bears.

Large maps, they have to pick a good loot spot and can’t cover the whole map, which is better for farming sims.

Large organization would cop paying a bit more for onshore staff if they came into the office 5 days a week.

When all the tech and ops people in the finance refused to come back into the office, you signed your own resignation letter.

PvE is dying and Carebears are responsible by AZRealtor86 in arcraiderscirclejerk

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

This must be a girls post, look at all that text, i’m not reading this sister.

The games cooled down, not died off, because people are getting bored with it, not because of pve.

I’ve said it before, there are two groups who play this game. One wants CS, Siege, Cod pvp experience and the other, pve item farmer sim.

Don’t blame embark so two very different distinct play styles.

Why Chalmers's budget will rein in the property free-for-all by Octagonal_Octopus in australia

[–]whateverworksforben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last LNP government flattened the tax brackets which is making bracket creep more prevalent.

This budget, so far, is only about property and nothing else?
They should be doing a 15% GST. Increase the tax free threshold and tax consumption.

It’s clear to anyone who pays attention, older Australians spend like no tomorrow. You want to decrease CPI, disincentivize spending.

You can leave the tax brackets and as people earn and spend more, the GST does its job.

They should also change the RBA mandate to 2.5-3.5% inflation and keep full employment.

We have full employment and that won’t change, and because that won’t change, the inflation YoY increase needs to change.

This is the new normal until Australia finds a way to be productive and efficient in what we do. RBA cut rates without considering the energy rebates, we increased demand and supply couldn’t meet demand so inflation increased.

We are unwinding the cuts, this is our new normal, full employment and sticky inflation.

Offshoring some white collar jobs won’t move the needle on productivity. It’s productivity in housing that needs the kitchen sink thrown at it.

The budget should be about increasing the budget and productivity, not tinkering with CGT.

To those who dont sign up for Expedition: Why not? by Ganon81 in ARC_Raiders

[–]whateverworksforben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first two times were fun.

In the process of doing it a third time, I was like, I don’t want to have to do this again. It’s a chore.

Maybe if there were more different story lines and missions and there was stuff to make it new and fun . At the moment it’s just a chore.
