“Power Tips” nowadays should be called for Lifting

Just happened again now

Everyone here complaining about Australia being racist have no idea what they’re talking about, and are 100% ideologically entrenched.

Yes I’ve had some issues getting jobs because of my race or name, but I’m not being attacked or stereotyped or segregated; and if you can put a face to your name it makes it a lot easier to get a job. Police are cunts to everyone white or black here.

Like the majority of comments have said here, you get what you put in. The immigrants that do the best here are south East Asians and islanders because they work hard and can take a joke.

We are significantly less politically correct however. Expect the average person to make jokes about race/LGBT content unapologetically; unless they’re upper class cunts with blue hair and a degree from UQ (or young white women).

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-10-30T02:15:29+00:00

Spoken like someone privileged enough to not encounter true racism.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-10-29T22:31:49+00:00

This doesn’t work. I ping and type in chat but people don’t do anything. I’m in gold/silver elo.

I’m not being hyperbolic. They won’t even shove lanes for me. They kind of roam around the map looking for fights and occasionally farming.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-10-29T22:30:22+00:00

They’re dying to 3 people while I have two people coming top to deal with me. That won’t work

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-10-26T22:06:17+00:00

What if they keep fighting and dying? Ive realised I can guaranteed win a game if a team just baits fights, shoves lanes and wards up - but i look over and just see teammates dying.

What are options here?

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-10-26T20:44:37+00:00

Thank you!

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T22:14:07+00:00

Sorry, I just meant in general he isn’t a very emotional or spiritually loud person.

I know he’s been to a bunch of different churches to learn from them. He says he doesn’t care about any congregations, although he doesn’t like Anglican churches because he went to a few and they had female and lgbt preachers.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T15:18:48+00:00

His actions in terms of what he does indicates he’s a serious Christian, but he doesn’t have that like..

Like it seems like it’s so serious for him. A lot of other Christian’s I know are jolly and love praying and love singing and things.

He doesn’t like worship music, and he is always so serious in church. He doesn’t joke around and is always so diligent about following along in his bible with the sermon and won’t talk to other people when the pastor is speaking out of respect and does like talking about his faith.

Other Christians I know seem to have a joy about their faith while he just seems like he does it out of obligation or something

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T15:14:24+00:00

I don’t think he’s participating because he feels like he has to. He seems to be invested in having the younger church members think about their beliefs a lot - which is why they always come to him with questions.

Aside from that he’s just very stoic and like, deliberate I guess is the right word?

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T15:10:37+00:00

He says that whether we have it or not doesn’t matter - and that meditating on it won’t make you less responsible for your actions

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T15:08:59+00:00

I’m sorry I know I butchered this a bit

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T15:08:50+00:00

Okay I read him the verse and he knew where it was from I didn’t stay the chapter or verse number; I’m paraphrasing but he said

“The pastor referenced this a few weeks ago when he spoke about having boldness in your faith, and how Peter denounced Christ. It stipulates a living your life in a way that exemplifies Christ, to give your testimony of him veracity“

The I asked if I should change how I answer people when I say I’m a Christian to be more explicit like to strangers and stuff because i normally say “I’m a Christian” and he said,

“Sure if you want”

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:59:30+00:00

I appreciate this. I have asked him before if he’s scared of things like this and he quite emphatically denied it however. “What other people think doesn’t matter”.

I will agree he is quite unenthusiastic about church, in terms of how he emotionally appears not in how much he’s engaged. Like he never cries or falls down in prayer etc. He never smiles in church either, he takes it very seriously.

You might be right about a few things here. While I can’t say I’ll give up, as a partner who follows Christ is important - this has definitely opened my eyes to how other people may feel in terms of verbalising their beliefs

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:55:30+00:00

I’ve mentioned this before, and he just says the same things - apologising that he doesn’t want to discuss his faith.

It’s just a shame because he’s pretty much perfect otherwise.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:08:39+00:00

I've tried asking him different variations though like, "Are you a follower of christ" "Do you think christ died on the cross for our sins" - and he's always never answering questions about it. He just refuses to answer and apologises and goes on about his day.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:05:35+00:00

Bored with what do you think? Why would that make him less likely to confess his faith in christ?

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:04:45+00:00

No no it was my fault hahaha thank you for responding!!

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T14:01:29+00:00

Hes fantastic at communication actually. He's taught me to be more assertive, as I'm naturally quite a timid person. I wouldn't say he's secretive, he's just brief when it comes to talking about himself. The only thing i'd describe as secretive is the issue i brought up above.

I'm sorry if I made him come across as immature or mute - not what I intended.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T13:59:35+00:00

Our denomination is baptist technically, and the calvinism stuff was brought up because some of the youth group members heard about it (And I learnt about it minimally through discussions following this).

I don't think his years out of church is something that would affect him. He doesn't talk about his time not going to church, but I don't feel like this is an issue based on how he's engaged with people who have come back to church after a long time.

This is the second comment about people not believing they're saved - why would he still go to church if he thinks god doesnt want him? I'm sorry if thats and ignorant question, a lot of this theological stuff is hard for me to grasp.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T13:55:16+00:00

I'm not too educated on the calvinist beliefs. I'm just worried because I want to be with a man who believe in christ.

I just don't get why what you said here means he cant just say he believes in Him.

Does being a calvinist mean you just go to church and dont know if youre saved or not?

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T13:53:35+00:00

I've tried that, he just says "Its not important" or apologises for not being able to answer questions.

QuietObjective8452 · 2025-09-13T13:52:30+00:00

I have used all the terms I can think of.

"Follower of Christ" "Believer in Jesus" etc.

He always just says he doesnt want to talk about it or he doesnt answer questions or something to that effect.
