'I do hope our housing prices are increasing': Tony Abbott quizzed on housing bubble by LineNoise in australia

[–]goldcakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure. Growth that matches the real GDP increase is sustainable.

Right now the market is growing seriously faster than that, so this is the time to put in policies that reduce growth (which does not mean stopping growth).

And no, a 25% crash won't be catastrophic (unless you're imaging a scenario where housing prices crash by 25% in a few days). Most believe the crash will come as a dull stagnation / slight decrease of housing prices over a long period of time, say 5 - 15 years. That works out to be 1-2% growth per year (actual growth is negative due to inflation).

All bubbles eventually collapse. Do you want housing prices to crash by 25% now, or do you want housing prices to crash by 40% in 5 years?

It's economics 101. You want to normalise booms and busts. That means you take policies to slow down the economy and decrease growth when you are in a boom, and you take policies to speed up the economy and increase growth in a bust. The result is a more predictable, and less volatile economy.

Same thing for housing. Oh, and there's also making sure housing is affordable for everyone.

Am I ugly? Female by Lilacwinds in amiugly

Not my type and below average, but you'll find people who find you attractive! Do not get plastic surgery.

How's is IT/computer scene in Sydney? by howdareu2 in sydney

[–]goldcakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great. Decent number of jobs, culture, not sure about LAN parts. Hardware? Aussie tax as usual

The fuck? You're not ugly, you're pretty. Stop worrying about it. You're slightly overweight, but again, don't worry about it although definitely try. Get more exercise. Even if you don't end up managing to lose weight, you'll be much healthier, develop less health conditions later on in life, and live longer.

Stop thinking you're ugly, you're not .

What is a 10 for you? by vikivalbeck in amiugly

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a quantized representation of someone's attractiveness plotted on one dimension. What do you find fundamentally wrong with it?

Attractiveness is not strictly one dimension, but it works. I might be 7/10 at programming, even though I'm a little weaker in debugging but a little better in documentation.

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 10 is when you want to flatter someone and think they're a 9. In my books I never give 10s.

Btw you're a 6.7.

Your stars are PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation) and they will fade over time (8 to 14 months)

You look a couple of years younger. That'll improve.

Body ain't bad, keep working on it.

Conclusion: 5.75/10 right now, easy 7 in a year or two. You're not ugly

Nah. You look average. Perfectly average.

MAYBE cut your hair. (it's a "love it or hate it", your choice). Definitely cut your hair before you're 20 though.

At least, don't show that chunk of forehead. Are you grooming your eyebrows? If so, you're slightly overdoing it. Let it have a more pronounced shape.

This pic is 3.8/10 but don't fret, you can definitely be a 5. And I would not take any profile pics like this.

[19M] Baby faced, half-asian and half-white. Posted here about a year and a half ago, got mixed feedback, but have been improving myself, both physically and mentally. Curious to see what y'all think! by [deleted] in amiugly

(Please note I'm not the kind of person to sugar-coat, so maybe avoid this comment if you're looking for that).

It's okay to be an introvert. Many are. It's also great to be improving yourself. Your height is great.

Unfortunately, your face is ugly. But that's okay, looks aren't everything. You can always make it up with other things (to some extent). Keep a positive mindview, understand that you cannot change genetics, and don't give a fuck.

Your life will be great, even with your looks. Keep working out. Be confident.

M, how is it by al20155 in amiugly

[–]goldcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great features, your facial hair is very well done. IMHO your haircut is a negative, go experiment!

7/10.

[21M] Just want some honest opinions off you guys. by dontthrowthisaccount in amiugly

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your teeth are great. Your hair right now is too long, pic 2 is a bit longer than the best for you too. Improve your style. You're a 6.5/10 when your hair isn't that long.

You have good features and above average looks. Nothing's wrong with your face, but something is wrong with how you're interacting.

Nice haircut, great smile, go work out more. You're a 7 / 10 right now, can easily be 8.5 / 10.

[18M] Would like to know what people think by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not ugly lol. Scar looks good, it adds a nice feature to your face. Some will like it, some won't like it, but even if they don't they won't think you're more ugly than without it.

Rating wise 6.4 / 10 to 7.

[–]goldcakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ehhh most flattering pic is 4.5 / 10. I don't exactly know if your new haircut is an improvement, to be frank.

What does your SO think?

You aren't that far below average. You look fine, maybe 4.33/10.

Oh and people who look like you date average chicks all the time, no problem. Confidence is the key.
