This obviously isn't the first time it's happened but it is seriously hosed that a 13 year old can be charged as an adult. I don't give a gently caress what they did, what they need is treatment not incarceration. Absolutely nothing will be made better by putting a 13 year old in an adult prison. Not for him and not for society.
Putting adults in adult prison rarely makes anything better either.

"A new plan to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 16 has left some people worried it could lead to gangs targeting young kids."

"Raise the Age campaign calls for Australia to stop imprisoning children as young as 10 years old"

https://www.news.com.au/national/co...dd00830c4abe7ce

Australian Liberal party supporters currently arguing the age of youth imprisonment should be lowered further to protect victims of crime, but obviously not that young, you weirdo!

No but you see, BIKIES

There may or may not be actual gangs in Australia, but by god are the Australian government scared of bikies. The Freep thread will often point out that biker gangs are their go-to 'scary people that everyone would respect the authority of if they protested', and it feels like the Australian government is the perfect inversion of that, where they literally cannot think of any other type of domestic group to be scared of.

I can't even think of a single news story in my lifetime that actually had 'bikies' doing anything.

At the previous state election in Victoria, the Liberals tried to run a scare campaign about the scary "Aphex African Gangs" that were supposedly terrorizing Melbourne so bad that nice white, middle classlaw abiding citizens were scared to go outside. This was repeated by the Federal Treasurer.

It was laughed at, even by members of his own party, and the middle class whiteys he was trying to panic.

It's the difference between "I have never found a trans person attractive" and "I could never consider a trans person attractive". You don't have to date anyone you don't want to and no one will refute that, but if you're deciding you don't want to without even actually considering whether you really would then that is literal prejudice.

It's the exact same principle as "I won't date a fat girl" or "I won't date a short guy."

Preferences are fine. No one gives a gently caress. You do you. The problem is when you either denigrate people you reject, or start offering your preference unannounced. The instant you do either you lose the public vote because you're being an arrogant rear end in a top hat and the only people who support you for "just stating your preferences" are also being arrogant assholes.

This is a level of emotional intelligence one is expected to learn as a teenager.

It's doubly irritating when it's on a dating app and you can simply self select for your preferences and there is no scene to be made if you turn someone down. If you're so opposed to the idea of romance with a trans/asian/whatever person that the idea of one of them even liking your profile is repulsive to you, that's loving weird.

just making sure people remember that the LGB alliance was formed explicitly to try to get the gays to stop supporting trans people. it is not surprising that they are also racist

this is a double-edged sword though. a lot of trans people don't identify themselves in the trans category on dating apps because it ghettoizes you and if you're a trans woman you just get endless waves of chasers. being trans on dating apps really really sucks and is basically a catch-22 between getting completely sexually objectified or getting banned because people can and will report you repeatedly for being a trans in the category for "real women."

e: I have less knowledge of, but believe trans men have similar problems on dating apps for gay men.

I'm a cis straight dude so I've only ever dealt with the LGBTQ+ community thirdhand as a friend/ally/host, etc. It is phenomenal how much unforced drama is imposed on the TQ+ side of the community. Even when you take into account every volatile TQ+ rear end in a top hat who ever existed, the majority of the problems still seem to empirically arise from non-TQ+ people being unable to hold their loving chill and let people be.

And I've definitely seen plenty of screenshots of online dating trans panic, enough to know that these people actively seek out the scene-making. They want to make trans individuals feel unwanted, rejected, undesirable and will reach out via text to slap 'em if they feel like it.

I been watching the show Lucifer and the thing he does and I must admit I also enjoy this trick. (Ha Ha) I just didn’t realize it’s being used all the time and on a big scale and most people don’t even know it.

In the show Lucifer’s signature move is he walks up to someone and says “Tell me your deepest desire”. When he does this in a crowd the person does speak their deepest desire but is usually mocked and made fun of immediately after by the crowd which causes chaos and fighting....Lucifer smiles and walks away.

What does the news do? It shows you horrifying, disgusting and anger producing content. You react chaos erupts and Lucifer smiles and walks away.

If we go back to Stephen Covey’s 7 habits of Highly successful people one of the rules is to “respond” and not react”. If your reacting then Lucifer is smiling and walking away.

I am currently reading another book (sorry the title is eluding me at the moment) but this book says just because someone throws you a ball it doesn’t mean you have to catch it. Throwing the ball to you can be a set up! Again if Lucifer throws you a ball and you catch it you react chaos reins he smiles and walks away.

If your watching the news or if your catching the ball then your just being set up and you don’t even know it. You get involved in the chaos Lucifer smiles and walks away. Just something to keep in mind.
