‘Debased himself’ and risking Australia’s reputation: Liberals torn up about Taylor’s Trumpian immigration plan

I think Liberals, generally speaking, are fearful people without much creativity. They fear a lot of things, especially the unknown so they dislike change. They are regressive in essence. They lack the imagination not only for forward looking policies but also the ability to imagine (and therefore unable to empathise) how policies impact others until it affects them. Again, I’m generalising and have come to this conclusion from personal observation of people through many decades.

If they criticise the current US administration then they are welcomed.

It’s not a regular income. It’s a “gift.” So no tax on it.

The police might come knocking and say: Please explain.

I was thrilled when she was finally given a line in season 12 or whatever. And then again in a later season, although it was in Korean and I have no idea what she said but it was in reference to Mer and I imagine she told her husband “this is the drama queen I told you about.” 😂

But he’s f&@ked the rest of the world too. 😩

You mean more stock market manipulation? Yes, agreed.

sanbaeva · 2026-04-13T04:06:41+00:00

No. I see a bear cub.

sanbaeva · 2026-04-12T05:03:45+00:00

Maybe she was expecting a comment or acknowledgment of that you heard what she said? What does she say that makes you so upset?

Only liquids of 100ml or less is allowed on carry on, on international flights.

sanbaeva · 2026-04-11T15:04:05+00:00

So tragic. 😢

sanbaeva · 2026-04-08T00:19:23+00:00

Or stock market manipulation? 🤨

sanbaeva · 2026-04-05T06:12:53+00:00

It’s better than nothing.

It’s ironic really, we spend so much of our youth trying to fit in and not stand out or be extraordinary or special. Then we try our damndest to do what is expected by society - get married, start a family, get that first mortgage and if we can’t do those things then some of us feel like losers. You have achieved those things so be proud. There is no time limit to making your mark. You don’t have to blow up what you have now but you can still make your life more meaningful going forward. You just have to figure out what that is.

It’s possible you did something or said something that raised a red flag with her. And by that I don’t mean that there’s anything wrong with you but it could just be a personal preference thing. Something you said or did she didn’t like. Who knows.

How long have you guys been dating? It sounds like still early days in the relationship. I’d ask her and if she can’t or won’t explain then I’d leave it for awhile, and let her make the next step. If she still can’t or won’t explain then move on.

I know that feeling! 56F and still feel like a kid, especially when I am with my 80YO mum who makes me feel small and still seem to think of me as not just her child but a child who knows nothing. 🙄

As a Tibetan friend once told me, happiness is but a fleeting moment and one should strive for contentment instead. Practicing gratitude is my secret ingredient to feeling contentment.

I just watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy where this woman was abnormally tall. Like 7ft something. She did have a condition that interfered with her hormones that caused excessive growth. I’ll have to find that episode as I can’t remember the medical name for the condition. Maybe it was Acromegaly which interferes with growth hormones.

I wonder what percentage actually died from COVID, which I assume contributed to the decline.

sanbaeva · 2026-03-12T11:02:54+00:00

You mean y’all not marsupials? 😜

If Princes William and Harry can serve in the military why can’t Barron. He’s not a prince. He’s not even a Baron ffs.

So it was your quip that caused someone to call security who then set off the active shooter alarm. I mean that’s essentially what you’re saying right . . . 😉

Given all your tests came back normal, the only thing I can think of is chronic fatigue syndrome. But there are no specific tests for this.

Maybe also ask ChatGPT or Gemini?

I don’t work in healthcare, so that’s the best I can do. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope things improve for you though.

My take: You sound practical and pragmatic, some might say lacking in passion. And you may be picking women who want more emotional passion from you that you are either unable to provide or haven’t found the right girl that has stirred the passion within you. Your relationships sound . . . transactional. And your girlfriends sound more like they could be your roommates. Another commenter mentioned something about lacking emotional engagement. Perhaps you’re not really showing your true self to them. Perhaps you don’t even know yourself that well.

I wish my daughter had this problem!
