MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I’m in Australia and had this set to my notification tone for some time. Unfortunately nobody obviously knew what it was from

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I love dart, keep up the good work

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I’m biased because I wrote a backend framework for it, but it’s really good on the backend and even just a general scripting language

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

We need to send them some spirographs or at least start an ad campaign

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

It’s what caused all those children to go missing

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

On that last bit. I agree with you, but people are getting paid to produce, and since they probably just know angular, they use angular everywhere.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It’s really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn’t quite right, but you can’t work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Huh, even as a young child in Australia I kind of was aware sesame street was from a rougher area, although safe. Wonder how I clocked that even though it was never explicit

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Same as Yada Yada Yada

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Poor dog would get Soo many snoot boops

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

If everyone had razors, we could end razor attacks overnight

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

a coin trying to be as complex as possible, without really doing anything that you paid money for.

Sums up the state of crypto pretty well

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

That’s why when I grab my popcorn at the cinema I loudly proclaim “no homo” before going down on Bruce, my coworker.

Wouldn’t want it to get awkward

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Cinema peaked in 1999

People who have been through tough timew, how did you keep moving?

I’m a week late on rent due, I only paid half, I had to call all my credit card companies and utilities to tell them what’s going on. And now my check engine light turned on because the bastard is misfiring. My wife lost her dad which fucked us both up due to missing a ton of work, and I don’t know what to do. I’m tired...

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Op is not underemployed - he is working 2 jobs

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I don’t speak German but what’s with all the fish on here today?

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

You forgot to be born rich and beautiful. That’s the thing you did wrong.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

The very best dust

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I rum a distillery and literally turn water into spirits. I just add a bit of yeast and sugar and boil that bad boy.

Guess I should call myself rum Jesus.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Was altavista really a search engine?

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I was always partial to hotbot

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Love how Bing chat just gets uncomfortable all the time and nopes out of most conversations

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Breathe thicker

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

My preferred podcast app (stitcher) shit down in August and I was about to move to google podcasts.

I am an idiot.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Unfortunately I choose to eat

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

According to this theory …wikipedia.org/…/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory (see the timings section)

We are at the end of the crisis cycle. The last crisis cycle was WW2.

So shit is about to get really fucking real in a hot minute, but we should then move to a better time - an awakening.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Look to be fair I am self employed and always have been, but even so, today I don’t feel like going to work at all, I am totally exhausted. I am going though - because if I don’t go, I won’t have stock for the end of the week and customers come from a fair distance to see me, and if I don’t have what they want they will be pissed, and my business will go to shit.

We are all prisoners of work.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Agree it’s probably bullshit, just a pattern. It only resonated with me because it seems to track with my sentiment, but I have little hope that it’s about to get shit and get better.

I do expect it to get more shit.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started university and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy, for the dining plan, when it would literally work perfectly fine using your student ID and ordering to a real cashier, LIKE HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR...

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

As an app developer some people just get hard for an app and don’t know why they would want one.

It’s rarely some big plan just an ego thing

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

This post and the one before you have most relevant usernames I have come across on social media

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I lost my phone the other day. That sucks. But what really sucked is when I went and got a new Sim, chucked it in one of my old shitty phones, and then activated the new Sim with my company as a replacement, those motheruckers took 4 whole days to activate my new Sim.

It said it would only take 1-3 hours.

I had days wasted on the line with them, I knew they didn’t transfer it correctly and they just kept saying “please wait longer”. Like. What the fuck is waiting more going to do.

What was worse, is without access to SMS, I couldn’t port out to a new provider, couldn’t login to Facebook as backup messaging, couldn’t transfer money from my bank. Every step of the way I was fucked by 2fa and my douchebag phone company could not give a single shit.

Fuck you amaysim.

As soon as it came good I ported away from them within the hour. I really opened up my eyes to how much we rely on SMS communication these days for auth.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

That was back when 3d TV’s were still a thing, though, so not crazy

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I feel like you have Apple, Samsung, Pixel as the big 3 (in the western world)

Then it’s Xiaomi, OPPO (and it’s subbrands), Motorola and maybe Nokia which are all just “cheaper alternatives” or as I think people think of them “android”

Then you have your niche phones like fairphone etc.

I see more tv ads for pixels than I do for galaxy phones.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Honestly if I was in the market for an achoo or a fuckhphone, I would totally buy a fuckphone

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

LOL, my nanna dies last week and I’m pretty cut up about it.

Would still film that video though. A boys gotta eat

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Slap Jeff with a glove

Tell me you’re Australian without telling me you’re Australian

Building more isn't enough to lower home prices (www.theglobeandmail.com)

The guy who runs Generation Squeeze says building more homes isn’t enough to lower prices, because most people buying houses are already property owners. Property owners can either sell their current house to get a load of cash, or borrow against it to get a load of cash. Either way, they can pay a lot for their next property....

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

There’s no reason why buying or selling a house needs to be any harder than renting a house. The default should be owning your home and paying it off. Just like the default is owning your car. Sure, you rent a car on holidays or if you need something very short term, but you buy a car if you need it more than that.

So there are two things we need to do:

Through taxation make multiple dwelling ownership a thing of the past. Plus ban all corporate ownership of residential houses. The only exception to this rule is new builds until they are sold to a private buyer.

Transferability- if you need to move and buy a new house, your old property goes into a no reserve auction pool run by the government. This same pool is probably where you get that new house you are looking for.

Together these should bring the market down to sane levels and also create greater variability in house values - really prestigious properties will continue to sell for more, but bog standard suburban sprawl would be affordable and we would no longer need rentals.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Housing is considered affordable if it’s repayments and maintenance is 30% of your income.

So a median income in your area should see a median house price at around that. I did a bit of maths and it’s around a 4x multiplier given current interest rates in my area.

Also consider that everyone needs a home, so median is not the cheapest available.

In my suburb the multiplier last year was 7.5x, and I just did a check and the cheapest available housing listed is 6.5x

So you are totally right, there needs to be a massive shift

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

In Canada there are 15m private dwellings and 38m people.

That’s one house for every 2.53 people.

I have 5 people in my house (wife, 3 kids)

I think there is plenty to go around and it’s not a shortage thing.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Ironically, that was my exact experience in the current system. The landlord student lived upstairs, demanded rent, and kicked people out on a whim. I like the other person’s suggestion about a co-op

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

I like it, at first I thought “hmm. This breaks the rules of the no corporate ownership” but then realised that so long as there is transparency / a special co-op structure where they can be sure you only own the one property it’s totally workable.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Except in this one instance where it would be delicious

A New Low: Just 46% Of U.S. Households Subscribe To Traditional Cable TV (www.techdirt.com)

The “cord cutting” trend cable execs spent a decade claiming was a fad just broke another round of new records. According to Leichtman Research, major cable TV providers lost another 1.7 million subscribers last quarter, as users flock to streaming, over the air TV, TikTok, or, you know, books. Roughly 17,700 customers cut...

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Yeah, that was my thought as well - I can’t believe it’s so high

The youngest generations are probably like the people of Easter Island when they were cutting down the last tree.

They know that it should be the opposite to save their island but the king and his court won’t listen to them. The king’s whole lineage cut down as much as they wanted, so he’s having a tantrum that it’s not working out the same for him. He’s doing it anyway. Entitlement can do that to a fellow.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Everyone’s always blaming the rats
