What’s with atlatls trending atm, is there some spear throwing shit going on on TikTok or something?

Did you read the whole article? It is essentially saying what you are saying.

And if we’ve learned anything from the past four decades, cheaper loans have only helped drive prices higher.

… which will make it marginally cheaper to borrow and hence temporarily improve affordability. Unfortunately, that could be enough to lure in more buyers, which will push prices higher

Given we’re not building anywhere near enough dwellings to house our rapidly expanding population, real estate is likely to continue rising. Add to that the tax incentives that favour investors, and any interest rate cuts are likely to only deliver a temporary respite to those looking for a first home.

But that rising wealth is likely to be concentrated in ever-fewer hands in the future.

lol you’re the one who came in swinging with “for all I know!” “you could be lying!” as soon as I pressed you on a point. That’s the definition of a bad faith argument, you’re not acctually trying to engage with points of discussion you’re just trying to “win” the conversation.

lol do you always assume anyone who disagrees with you is acting in bad faith? Whst a convenient way to shield yourself from uncomfortable truths.

No wonder you’re desperate to lock someone into a relationship with you asap, you sound nuts.

Paranoia wtf? I’ve formed my opinions from my life experiences, are you trying to tell me you’ve done peer reviewed research to decide what makes a good relationship?

I was with my wife for 10 years before I proposed. We have the best relationship of anyone we know. I know plenty of people who married after a couple of years and are fucking miserable.

This is terrible advice. Most people’s “gut” reactions are heavily based on external influences like peer group pressure, media influence and upbringing.

Practice critical thinking.

If you’re in a good relationship but they leave because they couldn’t wait 4 years to get married, then you fucking dodged a bullet. Jesus fucking christ.

Find a skill based hobby that you love and practice it every week. Stuff like a sport, musical instrument, art, etc. The hobby itself will be rewarding but there is no substitute for having decades of experience under your belt for these kind of activities.

Also, don’t have children.

I’ve been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

lol only Melbourneites still smoke enough for there to be a black market in cigarettes.

Bandcamp. Pay the fucking artists you listen to.

“I bomb atomically, Socrates’ philosophies and hypotheses can’t define how I be dropping these mockeries”

Are you a legal expert? Is the fact that this is “art” not a more complex legal issue?

edit: Quote from the article: “Mona’s legal team will be relying on the tribunal’s interpretation of section 26 of Tasmania’s Anti-Discrimination Act, under which a person is permitted to discriminate against another person in a situation designed to promote equal opportunity for a group of people who are disadvantaged or have a special need because of a prescribed attribute – in this case gender. It is under clauses like this in most of Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation that organisations such as male-only clubs and women-only gyms are able to operate.”

The difference between a racial slur and an acceptably shortened country name is a matter of history. “Aussie” should never be seen as a slur because it has never been a commonly used racial insult. Context is important.

[Starlink] was released in Australia in 2021 and offers unlimited data for $139 per month plus a hardware cost of roughly $599, with speeds comparable to the NBN’s 100-megabit plans.

Why the fuck would people be swapping to this when it is an extra $40-$50 a month for “comparable” speeds?! This article obviously has an agenda.

Anyone remember Secret Valley? At one point my family was planning on moving to a largish property in/near bushland and me and my brothers had drawn up detailed blueprints for a fortified base complete with treetop platforms connected by rope swings, pitfall traps and catapults, inspired by the show.

Malmsy.

What is fearmongering in this article? It’s just laying out the facts.

There’s still plenty to be concerned about with covid. Long covid symptoms can be highly impactful and studies are finding new evidence about long term damage. If you don’t care about that then by all means go and lick some strangers but some of us are still trying to avoid catching it.

“Yikes”.
