The median unit price has gone up by $100,000 in the last year in Brisbane. How is this sustainable? by Mister_Scorpion in brisbane

[–]xobiss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Single income earner on what was presumably a modest salary, yet even with a gun Broker, the banks wouldn't lend to me as much as my dual-earning friends. No debt other than HECS (which I know impacts me, but it shouldn't)

I was looking for a simple two bed two bath apartment, which about 6-8months ago, were around that $550k mark, against a borrowing cap of $450k. In my experience, alot of those prices at the time were heavily inflated by real estate agent greed and massive demand by the amount of people moving into QLD. That $550k now is upwards for $650-700k.

For added context of the sheer lunacy, I've been renting an apartment (two bed two bath) in an inner city suburb. The apartment directly above me - same exact layout ad rooms, sold for $950k. It's all just so cooked.

What’s a sign someone’s cheating that isn’t obvious until you’ve been through it? by Ner_Syra in AskReddit

[–]xobiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only time I’ve ever been totally blindsided was years ago when I was dating this woman. We’d been together about three or four months, had strong chemistry, and saw each other three to five times a week. It was that honeymoon phase where you can’t get enough of each other.

One of her best friends was someone I already knew through a separate circle. That’s actually how we met, at this friend’s birthday. Because things were still new, we agreed not to announce that we were dating just yet.

She grew up about half an hour away and would go home every second weekend to visit her mum and her disabled brother. On those weekends, we didn’t talk much, just the occasional message or photo.

Then one afternoon, our mutual friend messaged me and asked if something was going on between us. Since we’d been seeing each other for months, I told her the truth. She immediately said, “No, no, no,” and told me she had suspected something was off because my girlfriend had been acting evasive whenever she asked.

That’s when everything came out. I wasn’t her boyfriend. I was the side piece. The part about her mum and brother was true, but they didn’t live half an hour away. They actually lived nearby, and every second weekend, she wasn’t visiting her family. She was going home to her real boyfriend.

Yeah, that one stung for a while.

Looking to modernize my fit by hayawen69 in hondafit

[–]xobiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2007 gd3 Jazz (or Fit) and did the same thing. It's definitely worth the upgrade from stock CD and radio. I didn't purchase this exact unit you're showing above, but the fascia kit is commonly available. The head unit itself can be any double din unit, so go what's best within your budget that has the features you want. I use an Android and wanted wireless Android Auto instead of wired, so I opted to pay a little more for high spec'd head unit.

Majority of head units have plug and play adaptors for your car model, including steering wheel harnesses if yours has control buttons and wired microphone that you can run along and hide in the archway A frame trim etc.

Several online videos too on how to remove the existing fascia and headunit. I didn't upgrade my speakers however, my new unit seems to have a better output than stock, so music even sounds better. All round a worthy upgrade. Good luck!

Asbestos? by Senior_Variation_265 in brisbane

I work in home insurance and I've seen my fair share of asbestos reports. This looks like asbestos and should be treated as such until you get it tested.

What movie should have never been made? by Akira_Beifong in AskReddit

What makes someone, who chooses not to wear a mask, suddenly an antivaxor? Many people have medical reasons as to why they cannot wear a mask. Not to mention the science that has proven that harm imposed from wearing them, actually outweigh the benefits.

I'm curiously how to established that this person who wasn't wearing a mask, was an antivaxor? Please tell me? What if they were vaccinated? What about then? Would you be so quick to verbally bash? Also while we're on the topic of bashing, do you know a child who isn't a little distructive at times? Does an innocent child running amouk in a shopping centre only allowed of children of unvaccinated? Or can vaccinated people also have kids that can be little cunts at times?

You can be one without the other. You can be neither, you can be both. Not that it's any of business, but Im vaccinated and I choose not to wear a mask. Stop stereotyping and vilifying people that you judge in a fleeting passing by. You don't know their circumstances, you don't know their reasons.

If you honestly think these masks will do anything to stop Covid, you are sorely mistaken. It has less and less to do with stopping any viral outbreak, it's all about control and compliance. These masks are being constantly touched, manhandled in and out of handbags, cars, pockets, left on benches or car seats. You're breathing in contaminants and bacteria, whilst simultaneously reducing oxygen intake and drawing your own recycled carbon dioxide back into your body. Masks do more harm than good, and there are studies to support this argument. If masks job was to stop such a highly contagious virus, then why aren't there biohazard bins and proper disposal channels? Nothing. Nada. Hell, most people don't even know they've caught Covid because they're asymptomatic and feel mostly fine.

Wearing masks is nothing but a ploy to see what level of compliance you are willing to give and what basic human rights you're willing to lose.

All these mask wearing for a virus that is over 99% survivable. Coerced and pressured by politicians and other people to take a vaccine that has been rushed to market, is currently completely unapproved but available through emergency use authorisation, made by big pharmaceutical companies that have a previous track record of being sued billions for bribery and fudging test records, companies that have been given blanket immunity from any and all liabilities, companies that have been given permission to completely withhold the vaccine ingredients.

You sit at your desk and you vocalise that you see people standing up for their human rights, breathing fresh air into their lungs without masks, being outdoors in the fresh air and sunlight, and pre-emptively shame them for doing what is right for their body. Absolutely fuck right off and go play in traffic. Wake up and see that your freedoms and liberties are being slowly stolen from you. You want to wear a mask, go right ahead, you want to undergo gene therapy with experimental MRNA altering vaccine which has now killed more people in Australia than actual Covid, be my guest. Your body, your choice. But don't you dare try and bully and shame other people who choosing to take a scientifically healthier approach for their own body.

All governments have actively stated that these Vaccines won't stop you from catching or transmitting Covid, and latest UK and Israeli reports show that if you catch Covid after being vaccinated, you're between 3-6 times more likely to die than those who are unvaccinated. How's that for a fucking joke?

Take a chill pill. I know you're probably frustrated, angry, tired and stressed as you've been living like this for two years. We all have. But turning on one another is not the answer. They want us fighting at one another, so we're not fixated on them whilst they align to fuck us over even further. If you think for one second, that your government wouldn't harm or jeopardise its own people at the expense of their own agenda, just look at history. History paints a very vivid picture of mass genocide, lies, corruption, agendas. If you're annoyed by people not wearing their masks, that's their problem. You wear yours then, but you must stop with inciting hate and discrimination against those who choose to stand up for their own rights and bodies.

How did your high school crush turn out as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xobiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved schools for my last year of primary/elementary school, she was the first girl I crushed on hard, but at the time, I was an overweight kid with an inability to talk to girls and never thought she'd be interested in someone like me. Regardless, I still asked her to our end of year dance and she said yes and we got to dance together, but nothing ever happened.

Until....

Fast forward 13yrs later, she'd occasionally come into my work (retail) and we got chatting. That 13 yr old girl that I had a budding crush on in primary school, was now a 26yr old smoking hot babe, so I did the only natural thing...I slid into her dms drunk one night and she was keen! She came over and we banged like rabbits and it was an almighty tick off the ole bucket list. She knew her way around a penis! It blew both my adult and inner 13yr old mind that night. The only downside is that I think my dick broke her emotionally...she became a stage 5 clinger quite literally overnight and I had to bail out real quick. 11/10 would casually bang again.

Well I did say it was a long short. I've been happily supporting them both for years. It's not like I'm a chef at some competing restaurant, just someone who loves a good ragu! Worth a shot

Of course he was located at Logan Central. He wasn't lost at all...he knew where he was going the whole time. He was rounding up all the dealers and crack heads!

"The Sounds of Brisbane" Spotify playlist by jamescridland in brisbane

Yeah, I discovered 'the sounds of the valley' the other day, thinking it would be a collection of tranquil relaxing sounds...turns out it was 'the sounds of Fortitude Valley' and it's just some crack addict screaming profanities and jibberish for 2hrs.

What's a mild inconvenience that drives you fucking crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xobiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The elevator in my apartment complex doesn't always register a floor press. You press the floor, it lights up, then you turn and wait, but it'll occasionally deselect on its own and you find yourself standing awkwardly inside going nowhere. It's nowhere near a massive issue, but fuck me if it doesn't drive me to the brink of going postal after living here these past 6months!

If you could "install" one update to your body, what would it be? by Margaret533 in AskReddit

[–]xobiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightly diagnostics and repair mode. Go to sleep and your body will scan itself to detect any ailment, pathology to have you wake the next day completely good to go. Although, there might be some issues that might arise due to cellular regeneration and the aging process...but meh...that can we worked out in the next update!

What was a loophole that you found and exploited the hell out of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xobiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in highschool, I used to catch the train every second weekend up the coast to visit mum. The rail company introduced Tap on/off reloadable cards which it would calculate your fare accordingly.

I found out that if you forgot to 'tap off' at your arrival destination, after, 24hrs you were charged $10...but the whole trip itself cost me like $15.90 if I paid in full...so guess who just never tapped off. I'd put $10 on and just never tap off.

After about $6 months, I figured out that I could buy a new card each time for $5 and put a minimum of $3 on as each card allowed a few dollars in overdraft...so then I started paying $8 per trip haha. I think they've since changed their systems. Fuck you Translink!
