Shifted my Superannuation to Future Super
(aussie.zone)
Good point, corrected.
What's not in their jeans is probably in their genes.
We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.
The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.
For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.
Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.
Hats off for putting in the effort, thank you.

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.
Eew keep your gross American opinions to yourself.
Wherever there's birds, it's irresponsible to let cats out. NZ in particular, it's a damn massacre out there.
There often more caffeine in a standard coffee than half a litre of monster energy drink.
I pre-ordered a pair of shoes online and the website asked for a tip.
In Australia.
When is CRISPR going to grant me immortality god damnit. Every year that drips past is one less with my immortality guarantee.
I want to be immortal even if it kills me.
I tried to buy some shoes online, was told they were on back order (which is fine), then they asked for a tip. I wrote a complaint saying "you want a tip for a service you literally haven't provided on an online store with zero staff interaction". I ranted and raved about how, while the tip is optional, asking for it is like a multi-million dollar company rattling a can at me for spare change. They replied with "the tip is optional". Dogs.
I miss my smart watch waking me up outside of detected REM sleep.
On the Microsoft Band you could set a time window where the alarm would go off - say between 0700-0800. If you're in REM sleep at 0700, the alarm stays off until you naturally rouse, or 0800.
I've worked as a sleep scientist for 7 years, and the idea of not being woken out of REM is such a neat idea, and yet no other watch seems to do it.

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.
