Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

My primary cost increase was I spent too much money on a car and it's not good on fuel and takes premium. That's more than every other expense going up combined and it's a very self inflicted problem.
Idk about you but most people have decades of mortgages, so a couple decades is normal.
I live rural so my prices on most things are different. No 700k average house price like in Adelaide. The electricity is the full house cost, we have solar but no battery because dropping all of my savings on a battery to save money on electricity that isn't costing a whole lot for us seems pretty wasteful. Seems like a thing for people with bigger electricity bills.
Almost 30, have seen throughout my life the liberal party doing consistent damage, and every time the Labor party shows up they pull us out of the shit and do a great job.
Currently I am the most economically comfortable I've ever been, including all parts of childhood. I haven't walked around a store doing math to figure out what I can actually afford in a couple years and I no longer have to think, well, if I run out of money I can live on oats for $30/w. Spent a lot of time pretty much exclusively eating oats. Not sure how well I'd go back to that given I spend that much in a day or 2 now on much nicer food.
I could get a mortgage in like 3 years if I felt like it (I really really don't, fuck interest).
They are pushing policies to fix it, as opposed to the liberal party who literally won't fix anything because they only make shit worse.
One party is trying to spend billions on housing, one isn't. One party is trying to get more cheaper electricity, one isn't. One party is increasing pay for the poorest in society, one isn't. One party wants to help the environment, one doesn't consider the environment to be an issue. One party is happy for LGBT people to exist, one isn't. One party is known for introducing major things that help Australians like Medicare, NDIS and super, one isn't. One party has managed a surplus in my adult life, one hasn't.
I'm not saying issues don't exist, I'm saying the party that is in power most of the time isn't fixing it, and the Labor party has a long history of being for workers and is actually trying to do something about it. its mostly competent and well meaning vs greedy and/or incompetent, and it's real clear with all the corruption and shady shit the coalition does which party is which.
