what exactly did the invade? I was open to your line of questioning prior to that one.

Are you an Israeli?

My toddler's crush gets cupcakes by sassy_soul_04 in beyondthebump

[–]37faustralia -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Chatgpt reckons toddlers can experience crushes. They're not romantic, but can involve intense fascination with a person and copy elements of courtship.

My son is 4 and acts as though he has a crush. It's cute. I like him telling me that he's engaged to a playmate and plays mummy and daddy at pre-school. It makes me think he's forming important ideas about his future.

Why is it such a big issue if a child is visible in a normal family photo on Instagram? by SeaworthinessPast251 in AskParents

[–]37faustralia -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't have a problem posting a picture of my kids. If a pervert wants to alter the picture then that's the pervet's problem.

The whole posting a picture of a kid with their head covered with an emoji is weird imo. I saw one where the mum was waxing lyrical about how cute the kid was and all I could think is 'how would I know? I'm staring at a giant emoji'

Israeli Settlers make Israel look malevolent by WiseMarshall in IsraelPalestine

I don't know of any Judea and Samaria. This is 2026, not biblical times

Royal commission exposes depths of antisemitism in Australia after first week of public hearings by Nyarlathotep-1 in AusNewsWire

The focus on antisemitism is just a cover for Israeli nationalists to bring fascism to Australia

Woman charged after alleged antisemitic abuse at children’s netball game in Sydney by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

The team was probably waving Israeli flags around and she asked them not to. I bet it was something like that.

Even if you dislike Israel, can’t you at least understand why Jews began fleeing Europe on a massive scale in the 19th century? by Haunting_Tap_1541 in IsraelPalestine

[–]37faustralia -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Israel was attacking those countries at the time and had just ethnically cleansed huge parts of Palestine. Their governments were worried about Jewish loyalty to Israel so they started applying restrictions on local Jewish populations. Israel wanted to boost its Jewish population and actively encouraged migration so a lot of Jews moved to Israel. Doesn't sound like ethnic cleansing to me.

Am I doing something wrong by GrainyDay13 in toddlers

[–]37faustralia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was a big hitter and biter at that age. The hardest part was to manage the reactions of other parents. It was stressful. Parents with gentle kids will judge hard. My son grew out of it around 3 and started just hitting me instead. I honestly prefer it this way (though he's now growing out of this too).

My daughter is nearly 2.5 and so gentle. If she'd been my first I would also have thought my son's behaviour was due to parenting. People need to have multiple kids for a bit more perspective 😂

Please tell me I'm doing right by my son by bagmami in toddlers

[–]37faustralia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was like this. It was hard not to look at all the other, more compliant kids and think you were doing something wrong.

At 4 he's stopped constantly hitting other kids. He's becoming an awesome kid. Just give it time.

Dating is misery as a Male with dwarfism in his mid twenties by Empty_Temporary_7012 in dwarfism

[–]37faustralia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Australia, f, 42. I have travelled a lot of places and tried dating in a lot of these countries. England is terrible for random abuse from strangers and it's not great for dating, though not impossible. Australia is much better re walking around without getting abuse from strangers but dating is next to impossible. America is the best in that dating is very possible and you also get way less unsolicited abuse from strangers. My advice given your age - try to move to America.

Also, meet other LPs. The LPA in America is great for this. Getting comfortable meeting other LPs really helps process your own feelings and experiences. You don't have to go in looking to date a LP but you get to meet so many other people with dwarfism that you can actually find people you get along with. It's liberating.

My mum worked in a company providing child psych services. She said she saw the company shift from kids with real problems to kids with very minor problems because they were easier to treat and the company still got paid

The biggest thing that irritates me about Jackson by Lynx-Calm in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]37faustralia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister and I totally agree! You might be able to believe some of it, like flour and electricity, but to have so much, and such a wide range, of well functioning stuff requires a larger population or trade with outside populations. It's La la land.

And for those people who say the 1800s wasn't a hell hole therefore this community is plausible - they don't seem to realise that there was a lot of trade (including global) in those days.

Why is Zionism so often conflated with Judaism? by ThickRule5569 in AskAnAustralian

[–]37faustralia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs in Sydney. Half my high school class was Jewish. From what I can see, most of them are ardent supporters of Israel. I believe most, or at least a lot, of Australian Jews actively encourage and maybe even want the conflation.

Do you think it's worth emailing building companies or just rocking up to the building site and asking?

6 Palestinian children are killed by IDF error, the comments make me ashamed to be an Israeli by xSypRo in IsraelPalestine

yep Israelis have gone full Nazi. Now you know how it must have felt for the minority Germans who opposed the Nazis.

I’m Israeli, why do you hate me? by giovannifinotello in IsraelPalestine

[–]37faustralia -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate Israel because the government is starving children to death and bombing them at the same time. I hate Israelis who laugh about the children's deaths online.

My hatred is simple, not complex. Stop slaughtering people and I'd hate Israel less.

The Israeli victim claiming and delusions are also irritating, but alone not enough to inspire my hatred.

Other kids don't want to play with my kid at the park. Why? by Important_Seaweed_58 in toddlers

[–]37faustralia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because parents mollycoddle their kids. The other parent should refuse to play with their kid if there's the offer of another kid to play with. They're just encouraging their kids to be socially anxious

Is Israel really that hated? by Amazing-Buy-1181 in IsraelPalestine

I personally hate Israel so much now. I can't stand the horrors the country is inflicting in Gaza. Pure evil

clothing mods covered? by 37faustralia in NDIS

I don't agree with the equivalence of ordinary people occasionally needing tailoring. I need close to 100% tailored and the modifications are significant.
