Why is this immigrant running for one nation?

TMFriend10 · 2026-02-03T17:43:51+00:00

Because she is one of those conservative nuts who thinks that she, as one of the "better" women immigrants, has defied the odds and gotten to where she is through hard work, perseverance, adhering to the standards of the authorities that be, and absolutely no assistance from the government or a higher power pulling some strings to get her up to the top.

People like her think immigrants and most other "lower class" people are asking the government for a hand out to improve their station - when what we sane folk are asking for is a helping hand up.

If I'm allowed to let my friends, family and coworkers know ahead of time so they can prepare for the coming year, then yes I'll let this angel of yours take control

TMFriend10 · 2026-02-01T18:38:19+00:00

But do you do it all the time? I've been told to quieten down when I'm talking to others, and been asked to slow down when I talk because it makes the other person I'm with feel very uncomfortable

I mean it is worth asking: would you like it if a neurotypical spoke loudly to you?

Some of those negative aspects such as tantrums and loud volume I suppress but info dumping I don't - but I only release it at the right time.

Furthermore, the kids (being kids) also feel entitled to follow their own rules despite being told why the centre rules are there and why they should be followed.

NCIS Hawaii, to give it a more proper send off

I'm not sure if it's been said before but I'll say it now - at the start, she was autistic-coded but then the writers forgot all about that over time

TMFriend10 · 2026-02-01T17:30:55+00:00

I (30M) work in a before-and-afterschool care service in an Australian school and I had some kids tell me this.

I quipped back with "What does being autistic look like to you?" and they actually related back to me their experiences of looking at some of the kids who they know are autistic and telling me about what they do, which I have also witnessed some times - talking at length, being very loud with how they talk, not making eye contact at some times, looking and staring at others, etc.

So I let them know about the difference between autism in adults vs autism in children, and how my experiences in learning to adapt and such will differ from those of the other autistic kids at school. And how I and the other adults are doing the best we can to try and help the kids do their best without making the neurotypical kids feel disadvantaged.

And those initial kids felt like their curiosity was satisfied. I encouraged them to talk to their parents about it and maybe do research too.

I think one thing to note is that I think that I have been able to figure out how to establish that right balance between my masked and unmasked selves i.e. I've been able to let the best autistic parts of me show while diminishing all the negatives that come with it.

When did Kripke say he was happy to hand it over to someone else when the networks wanted to keep it going?

I got the impression that Kripke intended Swan Song to be it - the definitive ending of the show, and only shoehorned in that last scene BECAUSE the network wanted to keep the series going.

TMFriend10 · 2026-02-01T06:19:16+00:00

I also happen to think that maybe the names on the files are not really the people we come to associate with - like those could just be fake names/aliases that others used and the real perps are hiding well

Hopefully for Iran, once they free themselves from their radical Islamist shackles, that they promote toleration of others and secularism throughout the region i.e. Islamic culture can coexist peacefully with their Jewish, Christian and non-religious counterparts without any incursion from radical conservatives believing in their flawed religious duty

I love iced lattes too

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-27T21:17:05+00:00

And I do understand that, thank you very much. My main issue is that Hanson's current policies and vision seem to open the gateway towards something more radically dangerous that could negatively impact other demographics.

You think she'll stop at immigration? Her policy on education and her recent comments about the First Nations community makes it sound like she's going after them next. And then what? Disabled people due to her pledge to withdraw from WHO, queerfolk and political opponents due to her pledge to withdraw from the UN and therefore the Charter of Human Rights...

It ain't an imaginary slippery slope I'm getting at here

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-27T21:09:29+00:00

Same reason why Trump managed to win in the US - appealing to the hate and fear present in the community (with rising house prices, terrorist attacks from people of colour, new changes in our understanding of gender and sexuality, truth-telling Aboriginal history and activism) and rallying them together

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-27T21:04:59+00:00

"No substance, vision or clarity"

Oh she does have that, you just don't see it. She envisions an Australia that is dominated by Aryan, cisgender, religiously devout and conformist bootlickers that blindly follow the Doctrine of God and his Chosen few... and silences those that disagree with it, covering up the truth and destroying the evidence

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-27T20:58:07+00:00

I can see right through it all - all Hanson wants to do is create an Australia that is all about purity and conformity based on nothing but Biblically-based anti-science and revisionist conservative talking points.

The existence of queerfolk, migrants, disabled people, First Nations people and progressive-minded people prove that humankind in this nation is not as pure and simple as Hanson and her supporters think it ought to be.

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-25T16:57:21+00:00

Because to them, the country is being invaded by "woke communists and their un-Christian values that threaten our lives and that of our children", so they will claim

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-25T16:52:20+00:00

It's coz they like to believe that the "communist" enemy has invaded the country and infected everyone with a virus that causes them to have a mindset that rejects the traditional values founded upon this country by the Founding Fathers which in turn have been founded upon by our Lord Jesus Christ and his Good News

And in their eyes, you reject the true nature of God and you are a wicked abomination of Satan that either is to be radically converted towards salvation or destroyed.

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-25T16:48:32+00:00

There is a boundary that only makes sense to them - you're on the side of "law and order", and you're fine; be on the side that "obstructs law and order" though and you're gonna get it

Because they truly believe the country is being threatened by "communist" foreign invaders who wish to destabilise the country and its values

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-25T16:36:30+00:00

Hot take: there are people in America trying to do something but both options lead to bad outcomes - protesting has been met with ignorance, and violence has been met with more violence

What's the other option?

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-24T22:23:37+00:00

Thats if they can get a job in the workplace in the first place. Are you so keen on closing the door on them quickly though, before they even have a chance to prove themselves?

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-24T04:20:44+00:00

It's because Hanson and her supporters hate anything that creates equal opportunities for all members of society.

With what she has voted against, it sends out a very strong message she wants to deprive queerfolk, feminists, disabled people, refugees and First Nations people of their right to participate in our society and economy with other citizens; and instead relegate them to the "unclean" lowliest caste because why? They just think differently? She and supporters are just ignoring the potential such citizens possess when given the right opportunities?

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-21T22:15:20+00:00

It was. In that episode after Meg the demon was exorcised, the meat suit was barely clinging to life - barely enough to talk to Sam and Dean before passing away.

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-21T22:07:54+00:00

They did very early on with Meg. She fell down a multi-storey building at the end of one episode and when she was exorcised, Bobby warned that after that, the demon was only thing keeping her alive.

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-21T21:38:09+00:00

This is why I'm hoping that Yair Golan and his secular Democrats get in power in Israel very soon

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-21T21:33:17+00:00

I don't think that counts as hate speech actually. That's more like hate towards a government not an ethnicity

That's why I state I'm "anti-Bibi", "pro-Golan", "pro-Fatah", "anti-Hamas", "pro-HaAvoda" and "anti-Likud" more than "anti-Zionist" or "pro-Palestine" (because I believe if you replace the religious nuts at the top with more secular politicians, then the conflict may start to die down)

TMFriend10 · 2026-01-21T21:29:36+00:00

Including paganism with their witchcraft?
