lonomy// off, into the sunset ☀️

1 week. @wodealto #TTRPGs

There are far too many people that fear people who seek asylum, more than actual terrorists. Are they dumb or are they hate-filled bigots?

@PaulineHansonOz You don't care about accountability.

Today I asked the Senate to support my COVID-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022. This bill would have protected Australians from discrimination based on COVID-19 vaccination status across Australia, including in employment, education, accommodation, and services. It would have applied to the Commonwealth, States, Territories, and non-government entities, ensuring individuals are not unfairly treated due to their vaccination status. It would have protected free movement within and between States and given parents greater power to protect their children from vaccination coercion. This bill would have upheld Australians' rights and freedoms against government overreach and abuse. I would like to thank the Coalition and Senator Babet for their support, but unfortunately, the legislation was voted down by Labor and the Greens, with assistance from key crossbenchers who chose to abstain from the vote. Senators Lambie, Tyrell, Pocock, Van and Thorpe were all absent from the chamber, allowing Labor, the Greens and Senator Payman the numbers to defeat this vital legislation. To add insult to injury, Labor used their speaking time to insult Australians who support my legislation as fringe conspiracy theorists. How shameful. We raised this issue first in 2021 when parliamentary sittings were being held remotely while the jabs were being rolled out and lockdowns were being imposed. Bureaucrats and elected representatives deliberately trampled all over the democratic rights of the Australian people during this time, and discrimination against those who stood for the right to choose was at its worst. One Nation introduced an updated version of the legislation in November 2022, and here we are now debating it in 2024, with discrimination against people who refuse vaccinations continuing even today. Australians who stand for the right to choose are ordinary Australians. They are doctors, nurses, and paramedics, caring for our health. They are police officers enforcing the law and keeping us safe. They are soldiers, sailors, and aviators defending our sovereignty. They are people who work alongside us in offices, factories, mines, farms, or shops. They are volunteers helping their communities, people in line with us at Centrelink, and people sitting next to us in corporate boardrooms. They are people who live next door, down the street, across town, and interstate. They are people born here and overseas, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, men and women, adults and children—they are our people, our fellow citizens. The pandemic of discrimination, which was unleashed upon our fellow Australians, took many forms. They were demonised not only by our own country but internationally, by elected governments, unelected health bureaucrats, and a disturbingly compliant media. They were physically beaten by police for protesting vaccine mandates and hair-trigger lockdowns, destroying their families, jobs, businesses, and the economy. They were attacked in parliament by their very own elected representatives. Thousands lost their jobs and livelihoods with little to no prospect on the horizon, and many are still denied employment in their fields today because they, like me, refused to allow that crap to be injected into their bodies. COVID-19 vaccine mandates are still in place in many jurisdictions, representing nothing less than petty, vindictive discrimination and naked vaccine coercion more than a year after the pandemic was effectively over. However, some vaccine mandates are no longer in place. In February this year, the Queensland Supreme Court ruled them illegal on the grounds that they breached the human rights of the police and nurses upon whom they were imposed. That has been One Nation's position on vaccine mandates all along. The vaccine mandates, discrimination, and coercion were not only a fundamental breach of the basic human right to choose, but they also violated the Australian Constitution. I draw the Senate's attention to section 51.23(a), which states that parliaments can make laws with respect to the provision of maternity allowances, widows' pensions, child endowment, pharmaceutical benefits, sickness and hospital benefits, and medical and dental services, but not so as to authorise any form of civil conscription. What were the vaccine mandates if not civil conscription imposed on the Australian people by the coronavirus? The Prime Minister at the time, Scott Morrison, knew he couldn't mandate the vaccines because it would go against the Constitution, so he handed it over to the premiers to enforce it on the people and businesses. I also note the valedictory speech of former New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet last week. He acknowledged that while vaccines saved lives, mandates were wrong, and people's personal choices should not have cost them their jobs. He admitted that more respect for freedom was needed and that if a pandemic comes again, there must be a better balance between encouraging people to take action and protecting fundamental liberty. A mandate is still in place for NSW Health workers, and firefighters who refuse to be jabbed are still being refused work even now, long after their counterparts have not been forced to have the jabs since December 2021. I believe the same is happening in Victoria with the firefighters there, unless things have changed. The pandemic of discrimination against Australians cost taxpayers an eye-watering $18 billion to buy vaccines that were not only ineffective in preventing infection and transmission but also caused immense harm to many thousands of Australians and millions across the world. The Therapeutic Goods Administration recorded more than 144,000 adverse reactions in Australia, an astronomical amount compared to other vaccines. The evidence is clear—these untried and untested medicines have caused significant harm to human health. Young men across the world are experiencing heart problems, women’s menstrual cycles have been disrupted, and there has been an increase in miscarriages and birth defects. There are far fewer kidney transplants taking place due to a sudden shortage of healthy kidneys. There is also an unexplained spike in deaths in Australia and around the world, which is not related to getting the virus. Additionally, we are now seeing a rise in cancer cases. To those who had this vaccine, I am sorry to tell you—you have compromised your body and your health. One cardiologist said that by having the jabs, you have compromised your heart 100 percent. This is what the government and bureaucrats have done to you. You were led like sheep to the slaughter, forced to have this vaccination against your will. If you wanted to have the vaccine, that was your choice, but when people were forced and lost their jobs because they had to have the vaccine, that is what I am angry about. Bureaucrats in Australia have been indemnified from the consequences of imposing these harmful mandates. That needs to be reversed. Australians are demanding accountability for being forced to accept vaccinations proven to be harmful to their health. We must unpack the entire Australian response to the pandemic, see the health advice which led to these mandates, and act before the World Health Organization treaty is imposed on the world. The only way to do this is to follow One Nation's policy to establish a royal commission into the management of the COVID-19 pandemic by all Australian governments. But they will not do it because both the Liberal-National Party government and state Labor governments are guilty of it. However, the people want answers and for leaders to stand up and admit their mistakes. The mental and physical health issues that people are dealing with due to the vaccine are numerous, and I am often told by those who have health issues that they had the vaccine. I say, "Do not have any more." People were not allowed to see their loved ones, even those in aged care homes. They were dying because they were distraught and couldn't see their family. How many people in good health have suddenly died from heart failure? How many former Olympians or other healthy people have suddenly died from heart attacks? These deaths were hidden and buried, with no autopsies done. Even an inquiry that One Nation initiated with Pfizer and Moderna claimed, "No, no one was forced." What a load of rubbish. Why did the government indemnify these pharmaceutical companies? We were giving vaccinations to people that were not tried, tested, or proven. Every batch manufactured was not tested, and that was the problem. I will continue to fight for the people until we get a royal commission into this. One Nation is the only party fighting for this, and I respect those who have also stood up for this cause. The people are demanding answers and accountability. They want leaders with backbone who will be upfront with the Australian people. If we do not address this now, the next time a similar situation arises, the same mistakes will be repeated.

@GreatCheshire YES!

Did anyone else have a fascination with this Pokémon board game or was it just me and my friends

@Zingus5 Not to mention, "dark souls has a winding, interconnected world" was a shining beacon of game design for DS1. Why wouldn't that connection permeate through every game?

Dark Souls 3 being "fan service" has always been insane to me because it's literally just a sequel. Like do you not expect a sequel to have stuff from the first game in it

@Grand_DM Truly. GMs are only a vessel for the story, so navigating a new course is part of that job.

New #dnd DMs: learn early to be flexible and create material on the spot as needed. It's a learned skill, but arguably one of the most important.

@Grummz Somebody has to play the villain- but everyone is a character on the stage.

Yes. I've talked about this a lot. When I manage design teams, I often see a designer vs player mentality set in, even when the game is PvE. The feeling is "players can't beat my systems" and designers (who are competitive gamers themselves), start to try to beat the player's newest tactics. Far worse when Helldiver's entire meta is literally pitting designers vs the players. The incentives are messed up. You're supposed to let the players win, but feel smart for doing it. You have to let the players outsmart you.

@Imperatrixsocia Not if you want to post your setting anywhere that others could read it. If you're not part of the forgotten realms, DnD at large couldn't give a fuck.

Actually DnD can be whatever setting you want that’s the fun thing My next game is going to be highly medieval unlike my current one which is very early modern

Just a few more days before I'm permanently shifting my twitter to "wode" HQ and I've decided to be an absolute menace to bigots. Seems like an appropriate time as any! If you support Trump, Musk or JK: Fuck you.
