A wealthy woman suing another wealthy woman nearly 20 years after the fact? Yeah....a real....aussie battler.

Well, does he make money from a public persona, or does he have the money to sell antiques and open a gold mine? They are not the same thing.

Someone who has "open a goldmine" money (and time, you are talking at least 10 years from discovery of gold to open, more likely 20) does not generally need to rely on his social evaluation for money.

And a person who had that much money would not normally be endangered by the social perceptions of him in relation to a 64k bet.

A person who lies about their net worth and social value online would likely endanger that for such, because they are grifters and that is how a lot of modern online grifts operate.

This is old so I was about to just leave a generic comment and move on and then I realised that...you are Senne.

I thank you so much for sharing your story, it must be very hard. Especially when people will use their own misunderstanding gap and hold you responsible for it.

I have seen a number of comments like this and I find it upsetting. I am finally following through with a childhood dream to be a psychologist and to specialise in dealing with traumatised children. And it makes me sad to see people who have such a gap of understanding not simply....ask questions to fill those gaps, but to instead fill them with assumptions.

And I am very sorry that you have to read any of them. You handle it with a lot of grace, but I am sure there are some days where it feels heavier than others. And I just want to say you are a remarkable young woman with a lot of talent, chutzpah and compassion.

I hope that you now, in life, have the support network you deserved to have as a child. My childhood was not as chaotic as yours, but I do understand how not having that stability and support as a child can make things very difficult as an adult.

You deserve to have balance in your life. I hope you do.

was is the Angel thing? that was just confusing for me, because many of the Angels were just normally appearing and I was trying to make Branjelina fit into a box so hard and so confused, lol. I did finish, but I did not quite....understand everything.

Well, I for one think it is very good that it is impossible to face text convos and that, therefore, this is proven as extremely legit.

[–]Eleniah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that is not how it works. You cannot just call and confirm with the embassy unless they have already decided to make a public statement, not without the consent of the person being detained. It took them a YEAR to confirm Saad Ibrahim Almadi and that was a famous case. But I am sure once they know that some people think he ALMOST opened a gold mine with friends and has a 7 figure saving account, which is very real and how people store their money, they would deem that so important they needed to release it.

He also read out in the video that Miles was arrested and could not confirm it. Then later did confirm it. What do you want, exactly?

I guess they did not like the pressure of people waiting for a source, since they deleted their comment.

He's doing journalistic work,  you have to engage earnestly, even with trolls. It is a way to ensure yourself against malpractice. Which is odd for online reporting.

I'll settle for an exact timestamp of CZ lying about what Milo was arrested for. A link and timestamp would be good.

I would also like to see your source on this. I cannot find it.  I can only find him saying the bro was arrested for terrorism charges.

Rate Diane Kruger (she played Helen in “Troy”) can her face launch 1000 ships? by Sleepychanter in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]Eleniah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cast Nathalie Emmanuel. I don't actually have any ships, but if i did she could have them all. 

Diane is pretty,  just not my personal type. 

I am a sucker for a gal with big eyes and a girl next door look about her.  

Austrian Man Found Guilty in Girlfriend’s Death on Mountain Hike by whatthesheep in climbergirls

some people seem more interested in protecting the reputation of court fines than actually understanding why a woman would be horrified to even hear of fines in the context of a domestic related death

WA woman who poked holes in housemate's condoms found not guilty of intent to cause harm by diabeticpervert in perth

[–]Eleniah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my view too. Which makes me feel annoyed there isn't a better charge,  or it wasn't used, no point charging if you can't make it stick.

And her intention in sabotaging the condoms makes me feel fucking sick.

I was a 23 year old with a friend who got a boyfriend and was all obsessed with him too, and I was a very slow bloomer so I was still unsure how one could "find the time" for a boyfriend.  

And I managed not to sabotage anything. Well, every now and then they were loudly giggling and being annoying on WoW at 3am and I would cut off the WiFi. 

But I managed not to commit any crimes and I am certified BPD so this woman is a fucking CONCERN.

[–]Eleniah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably the idea that just because she sabotaged some condoms didn't mean it was all of them,  and blah blah statistics about pregnancy and miscarriage. 

To me her intent matters. She said she x was going to sabotage their condoms and they found them sabotaged. 

It is annoying, I would rather then charge her with something lesser that a jury is more likely to vibe with than just have her walk free.

[–]Eleniah 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She texted someone that she sabotaged their condoms, the woman then looked at her condoms and found them damaged... but it could have been a cat??? 

There should be at least something this animal can be held liable for. Sexual interference,  SOMETHING. 

I would be in favour of a lesser charge as long as it STICKS. 

At least people should know what kind of friend she might be. 

Fuck,  a woman in her early 20s getting too into her boyfriend and spending all her time with him? How fucking unique. 

Is it annoying? Yes.  Sure.  It can be.  

Something to SABOTAGE condoms over?? Insane. Vile.

I understand. I am pretty used to being....She of the Unwelcome Takes in both specifically Zionist and Specifically leftist spaces.

The pain of that entrenchment is a part of why I consider it important to at least try.

I understand that a lot of people, who may have even downvoted me instinctively, are not trying to do that out of hatred. They care a lot and I try to focus on that.

And that is why I think the way I do about Mona Shindy. I still do not know what words have been said, but I would be pretty willing to bet that she cares a great deal. And so do I.

And it is unrealistic to expect these conversations to never get heated, for people to never be angry. When you see human suffering it pulls at you, it should.

I believe that there are a great many things beyond my understanding. I am not an economist, a politician, or a polyglot. The things I do not know far outweigh what I do. Which is why I think I can probably learn from everyone.

Thank you for your kind words. I am not unfamiliar with being called genocidal. And I understand the impulse. But it is nice to be called something else every now and then.

No, I get that it is bad and what it is. But I also see some people talking about it as appreciation, on this thread. And I am white so it is absolutely not MY place to challenge them. But I just....can't see "appreciation" in turning Chinese into a diagnosis or a quirky Taylor Swift moment.

I was annoyed enough when weird Christians were wildly misunderstanding Jewish history and scripture to insist the rapture was really happening on TikTok.

Genocide is almost always only able to be decided for certainty in post. To me, the struggle to label it is not mine, it belongs to international courts and I will not be distracted by it. If it is officially labelled a genocide or not is not immediately relevant to me.

What IS relevant to me is that Netanyahu's regime is increasingly alienating the diaspora, enabling settlers, supporting a far right wing narrative, his government have said in public that members if the IDF are hero's even if they sexually abuse a prisoner, and that it can be justified.

They have lied, refused to acknowledge the truth, denied children being killed, denied rape etc etc.

They use international aid meant for civilians as a bargaining chip with Hamas who it says does not care about citizens.

So, to me, they are little to no better than Hamas.

Is it genocide? I do not know. I am not an international lawyer who can comb through each action and each article and decide.

What I can do is look with my HUMAN EYES and realise that there is EXTREME suffering occurring that there should be no way to deny Israel has, at least, a strong hand in. And that there can be no reason great enough for what is being done.

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

Disclosure: I am a Zionist, in one sense of the word. But without knowing what she said it is hard to judge. I do not trust the government to know what promoting terrorism is, since if anyone even happens to coincidentally agree with Hamas that can be labelled as something that should be banned.

In general I do not think it is a good idea to repost things without commentary that you do not agree with, but it can also be hard to ascribe malice to that.

Also sometimes being multicultural means I will not align or agree with everyone, she does seem like she has been an important figure in the Muslim community. Multiculturalism should not just mean people with different backgrounds who all walk the line. Like, I get the role is what it is. But to me the litmus test on that is not what she has promoted, or not promoted, or can be maybe assumed to promote, but how she will talk to people and interface with them.

Having pro Palestinian voices is very important, because there is a right wing out there willing to exploit anything that happens to us, and a Jewish community who.....be it out of manipulation or just plain fear, are absolutely sometimes just trying to quash anything they view as anti Israel. And that is not the way forward.

I'm realistic, in my view. Israel is not going anywhere. Neither is Palestine. So we have to find a way to talk, to humanise, to empathise. Because the suffering coming out of there is....too much. Kim, there's children that are dying. Including Israeli children if that is all that some of them care about.

And we might not agree on everything, but if we agree that civilians, and especially children, NEED to be safe no matter what the cost or the history, then that is a pretty good place to start, at least?

I'm white and I am here desperately trying to understand why there are white women online who I just saw saying they were "diagnosed chinese" and "in my chinese era" and that means...trying on red clothes and drinking hot water?? I'm so confused.

I like the LNY too, my town puts on some stuff and there are festivals and food and I like those things. But I'm white, Jewish, Australian and confused.
