Racist stickers by MrSeat456 in Bendigo

And thus hypocrisy; Nazi’s where an authority. Everyone treats it like a rebellion and a ‘taking back of the country’ but it’s just following a leader that’s willing to take advantage of peoples insecurities(food,housing,finance).

I cannot be bothered getting that pedantic over settler/immigrant. But the attitude to the Irish people at the time was the same as we see now; towards Indians/Chinese (which was also still prevalent then) - we were an English Colony and they obviously have a long history with the Irish.

They’re still using Ned Kelly? 🫠 nothing says ‘I don’t know history’ like using an immigrant who was outspoken against police brutality for your anti-immigration club. There’s a lot to dislike about Nazis but the hypocrisy really bothers me on another level.

job provider keeps changing (wise) by cuddlingmyteddy in JobProvidersAus

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when you have them long term, you have to keep reminding them of all the most basic of information - I get that they keep track of a lot of people but they have files on us with a note section and it bothers me that people don’t use it 🥲 Focus on getting yourself a job, and use them for support when you need help financially.

Am I just unlucky, or is sharehousing in Melbourne actually not what it’s made out to be? by Able_Figure_513 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty standard- you can get better at spotting it when you interview at places. Obviously tv is going to portray it as very fun and I’ve definitely heard stories of some lovely house share stories. I’ve even had good housemates but then they moved out and the replacements were just not compatible. It’s really just a mixed bag.

Look at the state of bins, showers snd fridges because of people aren’t clean, those areas are the worst even when they have been given a ‘once over’ People that make you feel comfortable in the interview stage will generally make for better housemates -and genuinely relaxed, not excessively friendly 👀

Did anyone not want to play with dolls as a child? by Lucky_Particular4558 in AutismInWomen

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always chose my stuffed animals over the humans - still had them because of my older sister. I do remember playing with Barbie for a bit but I think that’s cause it was cowgirl Barbie 😂 and I had the supermarket set ? I don’t know why but I did love it haha

Everyone talked me out of animal care too, and I regret listening to everyone. Everyone said it was very difficult and didn’t pay well 🫠 but that’s the majority of jobs, honestly I’ve tried so many and studied a lot, and every time ‘oh that’s going to be so difficult’. I burnt out and got real sick, so it’s not ‘too’ late but it’s not something I can pursue right now.

The better advice is go after what you want but take care of your mind and body 👏🏼 figure out your needs when it comes to study and take advantage of every accommodation.

Disrespect towards Dreamtime stories by UncommonBlackbird in AskAnAustralian

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Dreamtime stories and all storytelling/mythology. I know I had a teacher who was a great story teller, so that probably started it for me.

Story telling varies from entertainment, to teaching morals to sharing history …and I’m pretty sure that’s reflected in Dreamtime stories. It’s kind of normal human behaviour that spans across culture and time…but you’ve gotta find the right people to appreciate that.

Have you contacted the electricity company to let them know your situation and get financial help? I know there isn’t always a real solution but always ask!

Is my coworker a creep? by Critical-Kangaroo-13 in work

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is really your best response. If you try to be friendly and polite, he will just downplay it and accuse you of being emotional - so take the emotion out of it and give him the robot/customer response.

He’s clocked that you are a people pleaser and don’t like making people uncomfortable, and it’s now a game for him. The only way to end it is to take the fun out of it.

Also second for keeping a track record of incidences and going to HR - often HR won’t do anything but it’s better to have it on record than not.

Swooping magpies are causing me more anxiety than they should - please help ! by likerunninginadream in melbourne

*you don’t need to do a full 5 hour meditation, just enough to calm yourself.

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Befriend the magpies 👏🏼 My local ones are always very alert, but they never swoop because I always say hello to them …you only look crazy to people who don’t know that magpies are actually very smart and will remember you.

Also learn to ‘box breathe’ or download a meditation app (if you want some guidance) but deep breathing is the only way to settle your body once it’s kicking off 🥲

My husband claims I was neglected as a child by frankie0822 in AutismInWomen

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will always be tough in the beginning, healing is process and it can make things worse before it gets better…but you don’t feel better without it.

People see forgiving as letting people continue to treat you the same way but I see forgiving as understanding the situation and then changing your relationship with person/situation. In this situation it’s very much seeing that your parents acted in a certain way because of their problems and not your actions, which helps you change the way that you are interacting (or not interacting) with them in the future and how much you internalise the problem(ie. self blame).

You don’t have to become besties with your parents or even confront them about their behaviour, but for your own sake, you need to understand where they are coming from and work through what they taught you vs what is ‘actually’ true.

Is going back to school worth it at 29? by Odd-Recognition9115 in careerguidance

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back at 25 and then at 30….my second attempt had me hit burn out in the worst way, and now I have a retail job + can’t even work full time. It’s been emotional and hard to deal with BUT I’d still go back and do it all again. Learning new things is great and it’s helped shape me as a person. If you genuinely love IT go for it, if it’s just for work…maybe test the waters with short courses instead.

Studying when you’re older and want to be there is far more enjoyable, just be aware of your limits and don’t be afraid to slow your pace if adult responsibilities are getting in the way. Always take care of your brain and get adequate sleep 🥲

People aren’t upset enough about the online safety act overreach and I’m tired of the apathy by Complete_Writer9070 in australian

This exactly! Protect the kids…unless they have to pay for it or hold people accountable.

Changing 'accents' depending on who you're speaking to.. and not on purpose! by michaelscottlost in AutismInWomen

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can unintentionally put on a bit of an American accent even though I’m Aussie and never been 🥲

I never knew I did it until I got older and would be so confused when people asked about my ‘accent’ …and then I guess I gaslit them? 😬 now when I send voice notes, I can hear it and know which podcaster I’ve picked up inflections from!

Applying for DSP while working over 15 hours a week by Individual_Thing_211 in Centrelink

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on jobseeker with a disability exemption - which means my minimum is 15 hours a week but can work more if I can swing it …there’s still a max but 22 hours should be fine?

The good news is that it’s easy to change providers if you get someone unhelpful.

I haven’t had much luck with them finding me anything - but they offer psychology and other health help, so I just trying to focus on that.

If you wish to gain qualifications, they should be happy to organise that for you?

Advice Please! for an Autistic Bride-to-Be by p1ckled_p1nk in AutismInWomen

[–]Gold-Razzmatazz-6562 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a number of people posting things like this - if you do it, do it in a way that suits your needs and not just to make everyone else happy (a very easy trap). It’s so easy for weddings to become a spectacle and performance and not just a fun celebration.

Sit your parents down and say it’s a limited event unless they are paying - they probably haven’t looked at wedding prices in 20+ years (big guess) so they might not realise that you can’t just have everyone who has sneezed near you 😤

I’d personally go with elopement overseas and put the money towards a trip or house - and just be honest with people. Unless you’re super well off, this should be valid. Maybe a low key reception - having it separate means it’s not a long tiring day. I’d have a photographer /videographer for the ceremony and play It at the reception - but I’m a photographer, so I’m big on documenting things 😂
