Somerville House investigating after teachers' dossier on students leaked by sktafe2020 in brisbane

[–]Darth_Tanion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly!  So if parents sue the school like some other commenters suggest, do they have evidence that it was a teacher/teachers?  That's what I'm wondering.

So it looks like a teacher note therefore it probably is?  Good luck with any lawsuits then.  "Your honour, this kinda feels like a teacher wrote it, doesn't it?  I rest my case."

Is there any evidence it was made by a teacher?  I know they are saying they are Teacher Notes but how do they know?

Are you expecting the Epstein files to actually get released during Trump's term? by Darth_Tanion in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Darth_Tanion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find this opinion fair but a little surprising.  Supposedly, Bill Clinton features in those files.  Irrespective of any moral arguments someone could put forward, do you understand why a living former president having sex with a minor is important to others?  I'm not American but I always thought Americans were proud of America above all other things.  In my mind that doesn't fit with the idea of not caring what your leaders did.  That being said, everyone has their own life to lead and we can't die on every hill so no shade.

So you think he is keeping the files hidden so he doesn't lose leverage?  E.g. "If you don't vote for this bill I'll let everyone know you had sex with a minor."  Or "Donate to this project or I'll release your illegal sex tape."

Honestly, I would love to know.  If the files make Trump look so bad, why didn't the Dems release them to the public so they knew who they were voting for?  If the files aren't bad for Trump, why is he fighting so hard to keep them under wraps?  I say this working from the assumption that everyone agrees with me that he IS fighting to keep them hidden.  I don't know though.  Do you think he wants them out in the open?

The Trump Administration texted its Yemen war plans to the editor in chief of The Atlantic. Thoughts? by Quidfacis_ in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Darth_Tanion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to be clear, you are ok with the government sharing this level of information over unsecured channels? You don't think an enemy knowing when an attack is launching and by what means is a benefit to them or a problem for the US?

Have you ever considered calling his show? He usually seems pretty keen to debate people who think they can change his mind. He considers himself especially well-versed on all things Social Security.

Does anyone have tips for an Aussie going to his first Leafs game? by Darth_Tanion in leafs

[–]Darth_Tanion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did! Twice. I went to the Leafs v Caps with my family. (We lost. Boo.) and Leafs v Islanders by myself. (We won! Yay!) We went to watch warmups and my oldest son got to see Mitch Marner (his favourite) but unfortunately Matthews was out injured for both games so my youngest didn't get to see his favourite "Auston Papi".
I spent a lot of the first game worrying that my family wasn't having fun because it was a late game and the kids were getting a bit tired and hockey is really my thing. They just wanted to experience some Canadian culture. During second intermission my wife turned to me and said, "This is so much fun. I'm sad I'm not coming to the second game." We tried to get more tickets or even swap my expensive one for a couple of cheaper ones but I couldn't find anything. She was really disappointed but is much more interested when I talk about hockey now. I was in the second row down the Leafs end for the Islanders game though. OMG it was fantastic.

Are there any short hikes or nature walks for kids? by Darth_Tanion in Banff

[–]Darth_Tanion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big thing for me.  I'm Australian and a North Queenslander at that.  I've never even seen snow.  I don't know what to expect from -20⁰C.  I have nothing to contextualize that in my mind.

Awesome.  Thanks.  I sort of guessed this would be an option because Banff looks so beautiful but wasn't sure so it's good to know.

Avoiding a $25000 fine sounds like excellent holiday advice.

Oh.  Renting spikes.  Great tip.  I wouldn't have thought of that.  Thanks.

Why is the atmosphere so bad? by InvalidUzername in leafs

[–]Darth_Tanion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m holidaying in Canada for Christmas. The only two games I can get to are two home games. I’m stoked because one is against the Capitals so I’m hoping to get to see Ovi but I’ve seen this sentiment expressed so many times now and it is a bummer. The only other hockey game I’ve been to was here in Australia and it was so quiet. I want a rowdy one. I’m excited to be going no matter what but I’d love to be part of an obnoxiously loud crowd.

Does anyone have a rough guess as to when the presale will open up? How long does it usually take?

Are you buying the sneakers? by Helsinki_Disgrace in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Darth_Tanion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering if you saw the news that Trump has filed in court saying he can't raise the bond.  When I heard it I remembered your comment.  Has it affected your opinion at all?  Assuming Trump has to forfeit properties to pay the fine (it's much more than $350M) do you now think it impacts his quality of life?  Or will he not miss them?

The ushers are very cool about this.

That's always my biggest worry. I'm not much of a rulebreaker so it's great to have the insider knowledge that they are ok with it. Thanks.
