Hey David. We've all heard it before. People who think they know stuff others don't and quite frankly it's tedious, and a sign of idiocy. Do better. "I'll let you in on a secret" That's highly unlikely.
Saw on the news the people Collins was addressing when the comment was made: You know when Grandad embarrasses everyone with his ignorance and hate - a whole room of them - contemplating tales of Aladdin, apparently.
Absolutely and I am just as guilty as any. Trying to learn from all this. It is my hope many of us are learning from our own folly/knee-jerk reactions, to take a few seconds, breathe, and think before hammering at the keyboard. So easy to be mindless these...
Cancel culture vs stopping dangerous disinformation... While the line at first seems blurry it's not hard to discern what is blatantly false and what is not. I for one have zero fears over flat earthers falling off the edge. But my idiot neighbour with ...
Remember when Key ignored the 300 000 signatures against selling assets. Well, protest is fine, and a govt that acknowledges some at least will be remembered a lot more fondly than a govt that sold our (taxpayer paid for) stuff to their mates.
You'll survive mate. There's much discussion of MP's above.
Funny anecdote from last night. Todd Muller - you remember him right? Mr Hat. Anyway, he's on Facebook complaining about his recycling bin not being big enough... and literally hundreds of people started giving him waste reduction advice. And here's a ...
Go visit social media. Find a wingnut - check their friends. The nutjobs are rife, and there's a lot of them in some circles. How many overall, who can say. Some multiple of the New Conservative membership.
Just reading a Fonterra sustainability report and they crow about installing sustainable power sources at overseas sites to offset carbon emissions here. This is a critical component of their 'carbon zero milk' pipeline. Clearly, they'd do themselves ...
Absolutely agree it's a mental health issue. Everyone's frayed by covid, add the existential dread of climate change, and the absolutely disastrous Trump Presidency we were all treated to on a daily basis - fuck! I am tired, angry, completely and utterly ...
Hospitals were overrun because of government decisions. It was obvious from early on there would be no concerted effort, but in a perfect world, we could have tamed this beast.
Clearly I meant vaccine, we needed to make lots of vaccine... but I got mouse problems and it double posted and gives me no option to edit when that happens. My bad for not replacing the dodgy mouse.
This reminds me of our rabbit problem, and the Farmers who knew better than the scientists. The calicivirus strain that would kill rabbits was to be released in multiple locations the length and breadth of NZ. The plan - to eradicate rabbits before they ...
Trumpian, not commendable in the slightest. The world has enough bullshit artists.
Right... racism you'll make excuses for. Calling someone a bore is somehow too much though. I used to think you lot have something to say. Now I see you just have to say something. I live without a lot of technology/trinkets people are convinced they need....
God you're a bore.
I quit the wacky backy and other indulgences as I need a clear head for the monumental task/s at hand. If I need to escape reality temporarily there's always the news. I still have no idea what to do, how to get through. The more I try help others ...
Still trotting out this tired old shit. Technology will not save us, it has damned us. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
We need to expand what we grow, and then the cities might be ok. But also all the useless landscaped sections in the cities is land enough to easily grow a majority of what we need. How we grow is often patently ridiculous. The amount of times I see ...
The guy in the video is a fruitloop btw, he does make some interesting points though.
Yes the writing's been on the wall for some time. We've had minor shortages here of various items due to supply chain breakdown: Taro and Bananas spring to mind - both growing happily in my garden. Coffee and tea are both being hammered by climate change ...
Bang on. Drag them all before the courts and take everything they have for mitigating climate change. What goes up must come down.
No. And so I stopped bothering. Now we get to listen to (insert know-all here) telling us how it is. We still need catchment wide water strategies. Drought is still intrinsically linked to flood. Decentralisation is still the wisest strategy - but ...
Yes, because clearly we have nothing to worry about with regards to nature destroying reactors.
Except it's utter bollocks. We can barely keep the astronauts in the space station up there and that's an international effort using vast resources. Space tourism is utter BS both now, and in the forseeable future.
This is not aimed at the Author but all those who tried make me out to be a hysterical greenie when outlining how water would become such a big deal. It was only a few short years back. Now change is happening harder and faster than any of us predicted. ...
Free Market vs Mother Nature - love it. So many smug assholes out there, feel a little guilty watching their BS get obliterated by current events, but a lot of schadenfreude.
"But why?" Some people can never be wrong. Others are paid professional cats among the pigeons whose entire objective is to disturb and disrupt. What agendas are working with, and against, a cause. The trolls are from the professional against camp, but ...
These Farmers protests are ridiculous. We're currently evacuating people due to the second 'hundred year flood' in a couple of weeks. They've worked themselves into a lather online and, like Trump supporters, have heads loaded with shit to spout. They have...
Gosh, what a shambles it must be with a few resignations. We've never seen the like. It Must Be Taxing Taxing Taxes. Simon was told mate just get on your bike Then Todd had a go and then Todd took a hike Now Judith’s in charge and she paid for her likes ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
