It was also a different time though. Superannuation didn’t exist so they government encouraged buying an investment property for their “nest egg”. I don’t believe offset accounts existed until at least the 90s as well as exchange traded funds not starting until the 90s. What I’m getting at are there are now more options available to bolster your retirement then what used to exist.

Gee whiz you seem empassioned by this. Ok, so as a taxpayer and a funder of a public service, I’d like elements of the service to be held accountable by key performance indicators. Obviously a fairly clear indicator would usually be reach/ viewership. Do you have any alternatives ? I’m not sure what pod people are?

Strangely enough, I got kevin oleary confused with this guy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs

Do you think it’s bad for a generator of content to determine if said content is being viewed / listened (or consume)?

Well, I’ll be able to put sarcasm identification, just not reading comprehension.

Oooh, I interpreted your reply as in you thought it was funny that the OC was shocked. Ha. Jokes on me eh.

If anyone ever asks what your strengths are, don’t say identifying sarcasm.

Holy fuck a duck. You surely can’t be defending Christians stating they’ve never caused harm or damage to people ? Jesus fucking Christ, have you tripped over any history book lately ?

No, it hinges on the fact that early life development is pivitol in developing children’s morals/values, sense of community etc.

And started off with letter identification to help with reading scanned books. For example, place 3 known 'R’s tell users to select all R’s. If majority of people select 4 R’s then that unknown 4th R becomes a known letter

I have absolutely zero data to back my thought up here. But Google probably cares about illegal Chinese access because it would piss off the Chinese government. Google would love to get into China, it’s a huge market.

Spending on prevention is never well received. Sure, we could save a shit load of money long term by funding exercise, but it would cost a heap and take a long time to see outcomes. If pre-war the government spent 10bn on holding extra fuel on-shore, everyone would politically kick off.

Another person I knew didn’t want to have children because of the environmental impact. My theory is if all environmentally conscious people stop having children… Who is left to instill those values in the younger generation.

For unleaded? Diesel cracked 3 buckeroos in most places

Again, a human hasn’t even gotten paged and out of bed in 5 minutes time.

Dude, why do you keep referencing that people won’t get out of bed in time, when that’s exactly what the OC originally said XD

Probably doesn’t need to just hit “retirement savings” but you could say savings as a whole. At least that way offset accounts wouldn’t be negatively impacted.

I think old mate is confused about you saying “my laptop” when it’s your laptop provided by your workplace. He’s then telling you it’s not your laptop if they control what you can download (which it isn’t yours, it’s the workplace) . I’ve got absolutely no idea how the fuck horses entered the equation.

I never said the dictatorship was good. Its not accurate to compare a capitalists who are purely for self enrichment to a country that is lifting people out of poverty. They’re not the same.

I don’t think anyone is spuiking how fantastic china is. They have serious flaws, but they have also had huge improvements in quality of life, poverty, engineering etc. Just to be clear also, China has taken such a staunch stance in nationalism since the bullfuckery of England, America and Japan.

But they’re capitalists and beholden to shareholders and profits? They’re not the same. I don’t condone China’s actions around privacy and control. But I also think it’s erroneous to compare them to China.
