Gerry Fuckwit Eckhoff was rambling on about farming kiwis 15 years ago. Nothing has any value to ACT unless you can monetise it.

Sorry thereโ€™s no kids allowed in mines. So youโ€™ll have to put them in yours. ๐Ÿคฃ

Great photo! One of my favourite areas in the world. I worked in the old Doolin hostel for six weeks back in 1986, and walked along the cliffs most days. Always beautiful and spectacular.
Itโ€™s also where I met my wife, so lots of wonderful memories.

Austria is the same. And Russian tourists arenโ€™t especially liked. Theyโ€™re loud and obnoxious and treat the staff like servants. At least the places we worked in.

You do realise all those parents with โ€œlegitimate concernsโ€ about trans kids playing sports with their kids are the same parents with โ€œlegitimate concernsโ€ about gay couples adopting kids.
We need leaders to call them out for their unfounded bigotry NOT pander to it. They wonโ€™t stop at trans kids.

If only theyโ€™d clarify itโ€™s only extremist, angry, repressed, religious zealot, bigoted parents who have โ€œlegitimate concernsโ€. Which require treatment, not pandering.
The ironic part is those same parents also have โ€œlegitimate concernsโ€ about gay men being allowed to adopt children.
Hypocrite!!

NZ butter is cheaper in almost every other country. So either Fonterra is screwing us, or the supermarket duopoly is. Itโ€™s irrational to believe the price is fair.

The only โ€œcompellingโ€ bit Winston thinks about is that their policies are attractive to enough people to get him elected. Heโ€™s an utterly soulless political mercenary.

Theyโ€™ve really only ever been about capitalism and American exceptionalism. Democracy has always been an inconvenience.

Itโ€™s like those idiots who still say everyone should respect the British monarchy. Seriously? Why do so many people want to be serfs?

EVERYTHING SHOULD BE AS GREY AND SOULLESS AS ME!!!!
FFS what a cockwomble. Why doesnโ€™t he just go back to self-flagellating in his hair suit in Hawaii instead of pretending to be a human being.
By far the worst PM weโ€™ve had, and thatโ€™s given a very low bar.

I think people first thought of it as a way of building community and connections. But slowly more and more people saw the economic potential of building an โ€œaudienceโ€ by creating โ€œcontentโ€. And it just lost its way. Exacerbated by the algorithms and mercenary monetisation of the SM companies.

Itโ€™s weird that publishers etc still expect writers etc to have a SM presence, when it seems that unless youโ€™re already famous, nobody cares. And youโ€™ll never become famous by bombarding SM with pointless โ€œcontentโ€. Bit of a lose/lose basically.

I feel like social media has had its day really. 90% of people seem to just be promoting/selling stuff/their brand etc. Itโ€™s almost impossible to have any real engagement, or to even be noticed unless youโ€™re constantly feeding the machine because youโ€™re one of the 90% of peopleโ€ฆ

It seems like RW people allow so much corruption and rights abuses from RW governments because itโ€™s what theyโ€™d do, too, given the opportunity.
Basically shitty people electing shitty governments.

Hope the Republicans who caved to the tangerine tyrant at least got a nice pat on the head and a - โ€œGood boy!โ€ from their master.
The US is royally screwed, isnโ€™t it?

Sheโ€™s got a point, though. Everyone knows that to be considered a โ€œserious personโ€ you have to look like youโ€™ve had your soul sucked out by an industrial vacuum cleaner and the emptiness created filled with silicon. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Iโ€™m the same with United. Delighted when they lose. ๐Ÿ˜ I think itโ€™s inspired by an instinctive dislike of Alex Ferguson - or any win-at-any-cost manager. I should probably get over it, and yetโ€ฆ

I also think to break out of the traditional binary system requires both empathy and imagination. Sadly the majority of people possess neither.
The left seldom gets the coverage required to sell their vision. Most people only hear they want to do x or y and canโ€™t imagine what that means.

To give Luxon his due, he DID shine on the international stage. He obviously took along a lifetime supply of industrial mister sheen to polish his head. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Of course theyโ€™ll insist getting rid of immigrants is necessary so all those real people can be really happy about really contributing to making the wealthy wealthier.

Youโ€™d think any self respecting bee would have gone for old Jeff Beezos first. Maybe a case of mistaken identity?
