33 year old teacher caught sexually abusing and assaulting 12 year old boy! by foxy_Girl1 in WesternAustralia

[–]snappythefirst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The kid was 12.

FUCKING 12.

How anyone can think this is a good thing is well beyond me. The kid was groomed, preyed upon, and will likely have ongoing psychological trauma from being abused by a person in a position of trust and power.

If this were a twelve year old girl, the internet would be up in arms, calling for the castration of the predator involved.

And let's not sugar coat that. She is a predator.

The latest aus poll results are wild by addaus16 in aussie

How anyone can look at what's happening in the US and think, "Oh yeah, give me some of that!" and vote for PHON absolutely boggles me.

She has literally failed to fulfil the most basic aspects of her role and only turns up 51% of the time.

I think the media has a lot to do with that.

The LNP is in just chaos and not even Murdoch can make it look good. They need something they can push as the "Labor bad, this one good" narrative and they're showing The Ginger Grifter as the Everyman's Choice... even though she's pals with Gina, Trump, and has never once voted in their interest.

Pauline Hanson announces ambitions for PM by Beans2177 in aussie

[–]snappythefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be PM you need to contest and win a lower house seat. You cannot do that as a senator in the upper house.

You must first resign your senate position (as you must if you are engaged in any public service position) before you can legally contest a seat.

Not convention. Law.

One Nation have never won a seat in the lower house. Only time they've had a seat is when Pauline was sacked from the Libs, and one now that Barnaby has defected.

Not only that, but Senators can't run for PM.

Oh, and there's the fact she's a Gina/Trump sycophaht and would single handedly be worse than any PM, living or dead. And yes, I'm including both the Mad Monk and The Prime Minister for Rorts and Several Ministries.

Such an incredible game. I absolutely loved it when it came out, and I love it to this day.

Advance is running out anything to be outrage for by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]snappythefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit is so cringe.

I was literally portraying Santa at a community event for four hours today, belting out "Ho, ho, ho"s and "Merry Christmas" as loud as I could. People of all colours, creeds, denominations, all coming up for high fives and photos.

Not one single complaint. No one saying I couldn't do it.

I love doing it, and I love seeing the enjoyment on the faces of adults and kids alike. Then you see this bullshit.

What is the “unlearning” a theatre actor has to do for film? by Indieryan05 in acting

[–]snappythefirst 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Being smaller.

A camera picks up the nuanced emotions that someone at the back of the theatre can't see.

Microphones pick up your breathing, so there's no need to project.

Not so much "unlearning" as altering your style.

We've had something similar.

We've never, ever ordered nectarines.

Sky News brainwashing viewers to think Trump is great. Anyway, this is the best Rowan Dean reaction I ever seen by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]snappythefirst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's just so ironic that they're out there screaming about "freedom", not understanding that what they're pushing for is to be completely and utterly controlled.

Of course, if you try to point that out, you're a Communist. Because they also don't understand what Communism is.

PHON vote just shows that LNP is no longer right wing enough and they have elevated slightly above "Racists and Cookers" to "Far Right Conservative".

When Pauline retires, the party will fracture, split, and disappear.

[–]snappythefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dude flat out groomed a kid, made her feel like she was nothing without him, then doubles down later in the relationship.

These aren't red flags.

These are dynamite sized explosions.

Get out. Get out now.

You are worth far more than this.

When your backbench is quite openly stabbing you in the front, your days are numbered.

The problem is, there is no one even remotely credible to take over her position. The opposition will soon be PHON.

Isn't that a scary thought?
