I caught covid at PAX last weekend, but I couldn't figure out how to report it. Even if the populace has stopped caring about covid, you'd think the government would still be putting in some effort.

What's the purpose of having the three monkeys that basically all say the same thing?
Like, from a rhetoric standpoint?

Renters have to pay for their own water. I've lived in rentals for 15 years, and never saw a landlord do "upgrades" on my house. Didn't stop them from upping the prices every opportunity they could. I'll give you rates and repairs, although if landlords hadn't scalped all the properties I'm sure people could afford to shop around to buy a better built property.

But who's fault is that? That's right, the investors/landlords who scalped all the houses, making supply scarce and causing prices to increase.
Owning more than two (and I'd argue more than one) properties should be illegal.

My brother has lived in one for about 3 years now, built it himself from a Ford Transit. He does exceptionally well with ladies and a van has had no impetus on that.
He tried living in Sydney but it was apparently horrific, what with the aggressive parking laws and terrible road layouts. He's vowed never to return.
I'd argue his diet isn't great, as he doesn't have much room to make varied colourful meals, but he doesn't seem to order takeout so maybe it's not that bad.
He's incredibly social and performs in theatre's throughout Melbourne, van life didn't seem to hamper that. Everyone seems to want to hang out in his cosy RGB wood panelled surprisingly clean funk wagon. He's 27 and saving a boat load of cash.

I don't care about anyone's hair. Maybe you misread my comment? You can sub in any action performatively done in response to a "no".
Your misreading of my comment is toddler core.

Anybody (of any gender) that perfomatively does something solely out of spite is toddler core.
"My girlfriend told me she doesn't like mullets so I got a mullet lol"
"My dad says I'm not allowed a tattoo so now I want one even more!"
Toddler core.

What's not in their jeans is probably in their genes.
After watching a lot of Some More News and Climate Town, I made the shift from Hesta (which has $2,000,000,000 invested in fossil fuels, and most recently in the new Woodside gas plant) to Future Super. Yes, the fees are significantly worse, but if I'm putting my own financial gain ahead of the planet, I'm no better than all the banks investing in fossil fuels.
I pre-ordered a pair of Jennen shoes (elevator shoes, so I can be a big boy) from their online site (they no longer have the shopfront on Johnstone street) and got asked for a tip at the end. For basically changing a stock allocation assignment. I had a whinge on their contact forms, and they replied "the tip function is optional". 2 years later I emailed again, saying "I haven't bought a replacement pair of shoes, all because of the audacity to ask for a tip. I get that it's optional, but so is a cashier going 'hey give me that twenty from your wallet', and when the customer goes 'wtf??' the cashier replies 'oh lol it's optional'. You may have thought 'you know, a tip screen could give us free money! What's the harm?', and I guess this follow up email is proof of that harm. Don't bring tipping culture here please!" I get this reply a day later, and can confirm the tip function is now gone. Loverly! Whinging may be one thing, but *persistent* whinging made the difference.
"Lemmy at em!" says some wisecracking character in my video game maybe, in a referential nod to a relatively niche community in an attempt to appeal. For the past six years I've been working on Game Over, a Comedy Rhythm RPG, and maybe you'll like it? There's a little [demo on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2021600/Game_Over/) and also one [on itch.io](https://threeduck.itch.io/game-over) which you can play free of charge! What a deal! What a sweet treat for yourself and friends! Also I don't have a complaints form, so if you have any, please comment below and I will angrily defend myself and take potshots at you. Call now!
