What a time to be alive.

So it’s pretty to sign easy up to volunteer for the yes23 campaign. I did it this morning. I can’t manage much more than handing out how to vote cards, but I’ll probably do a couple more things in the mean time. I think this is a time to step up. Deciding you’re going to vote yes and figuring everyone else around you is “Melbourne Basic Woke 101” is probably not enough. https://www.yes23.com.au/volunteer

The no campaign is based on complete bullshit. Pretty much the cookers and liberal removed who grew up after their covid misinformation campaigns have learned their lessons very well. They know how to make people believe conspiracy theories and are under no obligation to tell the truth.

Our democracy is a bit of a joke, but it’s no laughing matter what colonialism has done in Australia and all over the world. The yes side are doing an ok job, but Albo is a bit of a wet paper bag.

Yes. This is why I volunteered. This shouldn’t be a political issue at all. It’s about the constitution not being left or right wing. Australians are often either racist or just don’t give a shit so they buy Murdoch’s bullshit. What Murdoch has to gain from the no vote is anyone’s guess, but it’s probably just cos he and his staff are all racist scum.

How good was it? It’s nice to actually see a wholesome crowd watching a game instead of a load of beer fuelled stupid fat middle aged wankers.

I mean, does being able to make a shit hot tik tok actually make someone employable somewhere other than some kind of promo job?

Fuck. How “zany, wacky, talented and out of the box thinking” do you need to sell doughnuts?

That’s not really good advice. If you insult the person they’ll reject it. Being ruthless wins no friends. Especially in small towns. Definitely cost the kitchen and take that off, and the other repairs. But most likely the person has an amount in mind which has already considered those factors.

Just lowballing someone because you don’t think anyone else is interested won’t necessarily sway someone who has a figure in mind. Don’t listen to real estate agents or anyone else with a financial interest in the sale other than the vendor. Apparently desperate to sell doesn’t mean someone will take something insulting or would not line up with what they need the money so desperately for in the first place.

If you’re wanting to make an offer, set out some conditions, like pending finance and pending building inspection. Go 10-15% under their asking price as a place to start a negotiition so the vendor knows you’re serious. Lowballing often means tyre kicker. Source, I just sold my place and had a few fuckheads who wasted my time and tried to lowball me.

Fair enough. Hope I didn’t sound obstinate, all the best! If it works, great. If not hopefully you find something you don’t have to work on so much.
