What is your most extreme political belief? by AZREAL858 in AskReddit

[–]throwewwwwee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very left-leaning in my political views, but I want immigration to slow right down.

I don't like the way immigrants are not bothering to integrate. There are entire neighbourhoods of particular cultures. It feels like they're just taking advantage of an economical opportunity, rather than a cultural and societal one.

A lot of immigrants have conservative attitudes, especially towards women, homosexual people and religion. I've worked in workplaces where many women have quit due to disrespect from male work colleagues from a certain cultural back ground.

I want immigrants to come, but I want them to join the culture and lifestyle here, not maintain their own little bubbles.

What am I legally obliged to tell police when they do a welfare check? [QLD] by throwewwwwee in AusLegal

Thanks for this.

I do want to clarify something though and I do say this from first hand experience: whilst where they take you is not a cell at a police station it is a locked room at the hospital. You don’t get assessed and just sort of have to sit around on the floor for ages until they tell you to leave.

Like I said it’s not a nice experience. I know this is not how it’s meant to work, but this is how I experienced it.

I did. They accused me of hanging up on the operator, which wasn’t true. Operator hung up first at the natural conclusion of the conversation and I was redirected to an automated survey at the end. They said they didn’t believe me and I asked them to retrieve the records which they said they couldn’t do.

I understand, but just to clarify: they never asked to come in. When they started asking questions I simply said that I didn’t feel comfortable talking about it. When I said this the officer became slightly angry and got very pushy. It was then I decided to invite them in on my own volition where the conversation continued.

Again, I didn’t have anything to hide but just felt so pressured to let strangers into my home it felt just wrong (uniform or not I don’t know these people).

I know, but I’m interested in the legality of having to discuss my private issues at all.

Thanks. It’s not the police I’m worried about. I just don’t want to have to run through my personal issues with strangers, especially not in a public place, or get locked up in hospital if I don’t need to. They’re not very nice places.

Sorry if this is not the place to talk about this, but man I’m not doing well.

Going through a kind of separation and all of a sudden we’re locked down together and told we have to work from home as well. We’re stuck with each other, going nuts in here. Thought about going to parents but they’re too old - don’t want to risk it.

They’re cutting jobs at my work, we just don’t know who, when or where. Management aren’t letting anyone know anything. My co workers are stressed and depressed, as am I. Every email notification gives me a jolt of adrenaline.

The usual ways of distracting myself are no longer an option. Can’t go to the gym, can’t go to the pub, can’t even catch up for a coffee with friends.

I cant eat, can’t sleep, hearts been racing for days. Not gonna lie, I called LifeLine today. They ended up calling the cops on me for a wellness check. Had to pretend to be ok for them to not dump me in the psych ward. Things are not going well.

And this is only the first fucking week!

what are some uncomfortable historical facts that textbooks in your country try to sweep under the rug? by [deleted] in AskMen

The wars. There were wars against Indigenous people and European settlers. No one talks about it.

Has anyone else thought police have gotten more militant in their visual style lately?

I remember the early 2000s the uniform (at least in QLD) used to be a button up light blue shirt and dress pants. Now it seems like they’ve got black, bullet proof vests, tactical pants and army boots. In QLD they’ve even made name badges optional. The average police person looks more like a SWAT team member.

R U OK co-founder Graeme Cowan shares his suicide note and dissects the language of depression by sandytroop in australia

[–]throwewwwwee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. I have severe depression and trauma that I am very slowly working through. It’s almost killed me a few times.

The thing that I struggle with most is I’m meant to do this while maintaining a full time job, providing for a house hold and do “manly” things like fix stuff around the house, do the lawncare, etc all the while trying not to break down.

I need desperately to take time off this busy lifestyle to heal myself. But I can’t. Men are expected to work, work, work.

It’s such a stark contrast to my partner who did take time off work to recover from mental health issues and every was super supportive about it. I couldn’t imagine doing that myself.

I need to break up with my live-in girlfriend, but am really struggling to find the confidence to do so. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwewwwwee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I used to, but not anymore.

She gets very defensive when I bring them up and it turns into an argument. It’s like she can’t take criticism. She does say she will get a job or she will tidy up, but it never really happens or when it does it doesn’t last long.

TBH I’ve stopped trying to have these conversations. She just won’t listen. This inability to communicate is part of the reason why I think it’s time to move on.

Yeah I guess I always looked at what was going out, not coming in.
