The worst thing about facebook is seeing my older sister transform into one of those people who only posts photos of her children and screencaps of "things only mothers will understand".

Is anyone else's Facebook feeds filled with people doing that Big Sleep Out thing? It promises to "end homelessness" but makes no mention of racism or poverty or social housing or access to mental health services. What's the point? Is it just to assuage the consciences of middle-class liberals?

Binkenstein posted:My girlfriend (who spent 10 years in England and considers herself mostly English) said that she didn't think that the Maori culture should be "forced" on anyone, or that money should be spent on it. This is about a day after we had a discussion about the British Royalty, who she thinks should be kept because of "heritage" and "tradition". She doesn't quite see the irony there, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of actual New Zealanders who share similar views because it's not *their* culture. sever

Slavvy posted:Maybe I'm missing something here? How is that racism? Dutch isn't a race, it's a nationality. I realise that racism is fundamentally illogical and retarded but I always thought it was about some vaguely defined idea of biology as opposed to national origin; a way of justifying why you hate someone for their looks, as opposed to their flag.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:The Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed a private claim that Prime Minister John Key violated a waitress' rights when he pulled her hair. It was dismissed because it was a claim brought in respect of employment rights (and Key wasn't her employer, so there was no cause of action) and it was brought by Graham McCready without the victim's consent (so he had no grounds for the claim that wouldn't work). Like, I hate John Key a lot, but I don't see how you can view this as anything other than the correct decision.

Slavvy posted:I wish I was wealthy! Also have never heard of accelerationism but it sounds pretty stupid, I just enjoy disasters. Accelerationism is leftists who don't mind if fascists/hard rightists win because they will destroy society so totally that leftism will look great by comparison. It's fairly optimistic, even from the perspective of people who elected Andrew Little as a serious challenger to John Key.

Wellington is city built for people rather than cars. Auckland is really underdeveloped in the CBD, to the extent that any road that isn't one of the main streets (Queen, High, Karangahape) is really dreary and horrible to walk along. The University is right next to a four-lane highway that you have to cross to get the bus. In Wellington the whole city, from Cuba across to the Beehive, is full of interesting cafes and stores even when you turn down side-streets you haven't seen before.
