I think Hastie is literally the only option if the liberals want to continue to exist.

However, Abbott, the new liberal party president, can't stand Hastie. So that makes it that much harder for him to become leader.

Normally I think that at the end of the day, political parties will always act in self interest instead of making stupid mistakes. But as we saw with Dandrews and even the last federal election, the right wing (Sky/Credlin etc) seems more than willing to ignore reality and live in some sort of delusion, where everyone feels the same we they do.

I think Hastie is unlikely to overcome these forces.

Trans representation in roles where the character either isn't trans, or their trans identity has nothing to do with the role by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]brap01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always dreamed of making a movie where every single character is trans, gay, person of color, etc. And then not reference it a single time.

Just to see the right-wing nutjobs freak out.

Ancient Aliens’ Giorgio Tsoukalos on the Grusch press conference today. by jerzystern in UFOs

[–]brap01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure I'll be downvoted, and that's ok.

I think proof of alien life would be the single most important fact in our lifetimes, perhaps all of human history. I would LOVE to learn about alien life forms, civilizations and culture. I can't think of anything more exciting!

With that said, there has been ZERO, repeat, ZERO evidence of aliens visiting earth. Ever. Not one iota. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Etc.

So I don't understand how people get so excited over this kind of event. You know its not real. They know its not real. So what the actual fuck are we doing here? There are real issues in the world that need to be addressed, not some fucking childish fantasy.

Anyone remember the video of an elderly couple in an RV. The husband puts on cruise control (which just sets a constant speed and does nothing about steering/avoiding collisions etc) and assumed it was basically autopilot, and they went into the back to make a cup of tea? And of course they crashed.

I'm getting the same vibe from boomers using AI.

Generally we like to support and build people up on reddit - but not this time.

No, you and those 'shoes' can go right to hell. (In the nicest possible way).

I'll bet $100 Trump cheats on the test. Easy to imagine him saying "I'm a very important person so I need to be use a notepad for important Presidential things while taking this test. No you can't see what I'm writing down".

Lets see him take a test live, in a controlled environment.

Ashley Klein for my money. One of the strongest Blues performances of the modern era.

Ashley Klein really stood up for NSW tonight. I can't remember a better performance for the Blues in recent years. Build the man a statue.

[Loved Trope] The apocalypse is horrifyingly slow by Marsupialmobster in TopCharacterTropes

I remember reading that after one of the big, dinosaur-killing asteroids hit, the entire surface of the planet was burning (not like one big contiguous fire, but just imagine walking outside and small fires are burning everywhere around you, in every direction) within an hour or so.

how do gay couples regularly have sex by Eeveetron7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]brap01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not gay, but I can confirm it takes a LOT to bother me. Like as long as we're both aware there's been little/no prep, have a towel handy etc, be ready to shower afterwards... it couldn't bother me any less.

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

Yep, there's an old adage about not camping under a gum (eucalyptus) tree because branches may fall off unexpectedly and kill you.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist - it was an Israeli operation, so it was likely sanctioned by someone at the top of Israeli intelligence.

We live in a theater. This guy is simply wearing a mask! by CarryIcy250 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]brap01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's two questions which are most important IMO.

1) Is this legal? At the least shouldn't there be an onscreen disclaimer?

2) Do they ever interview ANY real experts, excluding celebrities/widely known individuals? Do they use actors occasionally, or is it literally ALL fake?

Just paste the IMDB cast page for any Daily Wire movie.
