To maybe help other threads not devolve into alcohol and music chat every few pages, we're going to try having a general off-topic chat thread here.

Notes:
  • While this thread is going to be more relaxed than a normal D&D thread, try to keep things at least a bit above GBS-levels of relaxed. Don't report people for spelling errors or caps stuff, but please also don't spam a hundred images or generally try to make the thread unreadable.
  • Please don't turn this into a clearing house for drama and grudges.
  • This is not LF, and LF is never coming back.

If this doesn't look like it's working out, this thread will go away.

hi Exclamation Marx! my sister is in new zealand doing that weird foreign gap year tourist thing. and i don't like it, but if she has to do it somewhere, new zealand seems pretty seemly. it's okay right? not fulla rapists or something

we get lots of tourists and they hardly ever get robbed and murdered. i think it's about as safe as other boring western democracies, is she here with other people?

no, she's doing like this weird volunteering in exchange for food and board disruptive website thing, and doing odd jobs on a "visit and work" visa to travel around new zealand. i don't see the appeal honestly but she really like LOTR.

i've said to her "if you wind up in some eyes wide shut sex cult i'm coming down and buying a chainsaw" but that's just older brother protectiveness

new zealand seems okay. like Australia but without the BOATES stuff

one of my (unpopular?) opinions is that fat activism is a short-lived fad for some on the left, along the same lines as eugenics in the 1910s and this kind of "sexual liberation" in the 60s:

Randler posted:

A huge chunk of the German leftist '68er movement was all participating in that as well and it started to slowly get more public attention over the last year. Because in the ~40 years since the start of the movement enough time was there for the members of the movement to get in positions of authority and for their victims to get old enough to be able to speak freely about the abuse suffered in "Reformschulen" and other "sex-positive" institutions influenced by the '68er movements ideologies. For all its failures the SPD is actually handling that issue somewhat decently apart from its far left factions but the Greens have a lot of today's leadership involved in that poo poo and the party base still has a lot of sympathizers under the surface who try to reframe the outlash against the past abuses as an issue of homophobia.

i don't mean in terms of railing against beauty standards/other discrimination; but the hosed up health science denialism that sounds like something from the tobacco industry.

everyones like "uhhh did we walk into a dance tourney or something im real confused right now"

imo wouldnt it be problematic for not-maori new zealanders to do haka? arent the maori poo poo upon like crazy

exclamation marx, this is when you would be appreciated

the all blacks are allowed to use haka ka mate, which is owned by the ngāti toa iwi (tribe). getting more maori cullture into the public eye is viewed as a good thing, as long as you don't take the piss by e.g. being a drunk tourist in london.

they used to be insanely bad though, it was only in the 80s or 90s that it was taken seriously
