The Mote in God's Eye

On the Disney channel last night was Aladdin, I watched part of it

Things I've leared:

1. If your character needs someone to react to, give them a comical animal sidekick (two of those three voiced by Frank Welker, I'm p. sure)

2. The 1990s was the time when a thief and a literal goddamn princess could say they feel trapped in their lives without it being laughable (this was also the time on i when I think rich women could compare themselves to literal slaves so)

3. So...who set up that cave with the lamp inside, anyway? And did it re-set itself when other people failed the test?

4. The rules of genie wishes are:

Cannot wish for more wishes
Cannot kill people (I don't know if this means just literally wishing people dead or by implication, like wishing a plague on a people, the movie didn't explore this)
Cannot make people fall in love
Cannot bring people back from the dead

What would be your wishes, thread?

The Mote in God's Eye

I was talking to a friend last night, when the topic turned to politics I got him to admit he only cares about things that impact him personally, everyone else can get hosed

He went on to justify this that equal rights for non-whites, women etc was a plot by the CIA, richers etc to distract from the REAL ISSUE: capital accumulation in the hands of the few, and if those chucklefuck women had a brain they'd see he is right in this

So I was reading this profile of the new New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern

She's from the "Labour Party", but does that mean a genuine centre-left party? I'm wary of labels not meaning what they mean.

It says she's a former staffer for Blair, and that she wants to "cut immigration", but the decriminalizing abortion and free college parts of the platform seem good.

Anyone have more background on this?

wikipedia, god bless it, is usually quite good on this

plug in the party, find it in disambiguation, and look in the infobox. it demystifies.

It really remains to be seen how leftwing she is. She was the leader of the socialist youth, but that was like 15 years ago so who knows how much she's changed since then.

Labour as a whole are very slightly left of center. They still have a lot of links to unions here, and their actual constitution puts them as democratic socialism. But we also had the poo poo years of Rogernomics where labour privatised anything it could get its hands on and finance took over from manufacturing, leading to masses of layoffs and a skyrocketing rate of youth suicide.

So it's no US democratic party, but it's also no socialist paradise.

I only have a dim impression of NZ politics, but my impression is that you guys did austerity/privatization hard in the 90s, like Canada.

i probably put six hours into these stupid things



bought a breakout board for a raspberry pi and still had to make several dozen solder joints, and the whole thing it takes like a minute to boot up

but seen with a human eye in the dark, they look p spoopy and they certainly blink randomly in a very natural manner, also the wifi SSID is extremely spoopy with spiders

so w'evs, quad core LED drivers that take a minute to boot up are surely also metaphorical

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.
