"The news said there's been another earthquake in Christchurch. It's awful." "I didn't see that. I don't even own a television."

ledge posted:Like posting on an internet forum. Precisely. Is not having a TV some sort of hipster thing now? Aren't I allowed to have preferences purely because I Don't Like Some poo poo and not have some sort of internet strawman baggage attached to everything? Do people actually run around telling other people they're an atheist IRL or is this just another thing that only happens on the internet?

I think not having a TV used to be a hipster thing, but in TYOOL 2015 everyone I know under 30 torrents, streams, netflixes, or otherwise accesses the TV they want to watch over the internet. The days of $80 Sky packages are over.

The flat I live at has a TV, but I don't watch it. Don't have a landline either, although when I go up to Auckland during the holidays, I stay at my mum's where there is a TV and a landline. The thing is, as Lancelot alluded to, a lot of people don't have TVs, or watch television on them anymore and ratings etc. are an increasingly worthless metric towards measuring audience engagement in 2015 and beyond. In all likelihood, people who don't have TVs will probably be in the majority within a decade. Maybe less.

Being an athiest in New Zealand is not a gently caress you dad thing it's actually really normal. I feel like people are adopting the American view of it where it's like an outsider thing that distinguishes you or a small enough group they feel they can generalise it

I always felt the opposite, that it was distinctly un-American because the lack of religious pressure just means you grow up without really following any of it. Maybe that's just where I lived? I'm always surprised to find out that someone's religious, if someone came up to me and described themselves as an atheist I'd probably be just as surprised. I don't think I've ever met someone who's introduced themselves that way though.

I sorta mean that it's a stand out identity there and its much more noticable and like a thing that really distinguishes them. Then again I am in fact currently attending the kelburn campus so...

Religion just has a bad reputation here; its political poison and no politician that wants to break 5% will touch it, as compared to the US where you can't get elected to a community board without proclaiming your religious beliefs. If I'm asked directly though, I would respond with agnostic, since I find that leads to a more balanced conversation that the opposing side actually listens to, so I guess I do agree that Atheist carries baggage, but in no small part due to the attitude towards it we've been discussing.

Yeah we did. I'd missed the denouement where Rachinger turned out to be scamming Slater for cash the entire time. That almost brightens up my outlook  Weird that he doesn't seem to be in any kind of pickle over basically defrauding Slater though.

National will be using urgency today to retroactively legalise the last 17 years of stealing from beneficiaries, and to push through having police meet deportees from Australia for fingerprinting, possible dna collection, and probation sentences. Labour, unsurprisingly, will back the latter because despite the recent evidence they're still spineless muppets and don't want to be accused of being on the side of rapists again.
