I heard her explanation of the texts where she said she was talking about herself and it makes complete sense to me. Like how I'll message my brother about how I'm all excited over getting some lovely raspberry pi config to work and then immediately follow that up with the Homer Simpson "NEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRD!" gif.

Distorted Kiwi posted:Winston’s TV ads say we have to “take our country back”. The Saturday market here in Whanganui has had the local candidates running stalls for the past few weeks. Three Saturdays ago I stopped at the NZF stall and asked, in all innocence, "who from?" I poo poo you not, the first three things mentioned were, verbatim, "the WHO", "the UN", and "academics". OK, the first two have standard loony explanations but "why academics?" "Because they're indoctrinating our young."

echinopsis posted:but why do you think the economy could continue functioning if people weren’t out there grinding? We could cut the arms and legs and most of the torso off the machine and there would still be plenty of resources left for everyone on the planet* ** *** Basically what this goon said: Your Brain on Hugs posted:If wealth was distributed even marginally more equally and we got rid of a lot of the useless jobs, people could be working 10 hours a week and still have a good quality of life, just not at the ridiculous levels of waste and decadence that say the US middle class live at. The fact you think that wouldn't be possible just shows how effective the propaganda that keeps the hierarchy in place is. * because think about the hectobillionaires that still shamefully have their heads attached to their bodies, and all their yachts and estates and cars and whatnot -- all those resources rightly belong to the people who did the work producing the value, not to the dude who inherited a four-mile head start from his ancestors ** "enough for everyone" except said billionaires, because their heads will be detached from their bodies *** and this is also why everyone who says "the world has too many people, we need to depopulate" are either woefully misinformed or are talking about "you know, those people"

the strain on the health system would be less if people could afford to look after themselves and to seek medical advice/attention when an issue began instead of when it became critical the strain on the health system would be less if people weren't so stressed out all the time about whether they could pay either the electric or the fuel bill this week the strain on the health system would be less (next generation) if children could get fed properly, have a stable home life, and receive ability-based education so that kids with big brains and lovely living situations would actually have the ability to become doctors look at srinivasa ramanujan for an example of the amazing prodigies you can find all around the place but who get nowhere* because glaxxo smith exxon mobil mart has decided to dump chemicals in their neighbourhood, or jack up the price of insulin, or generally just gently caress over the poors so that the blessed number (pbuh) goes up * yes i realise ramanujan got somewhere at least but if you're going to respond based on that then don't bother, you're missing the point

echinopsis posted:i knew someone would say this lol so where poverty has been alleviated anywhere in the world, it is by dint of a capitalist country having sent it a dollar at some point alternatively: the entire rest of the western world enjoys its current standard of living solely because of its dependence on the output of a communist country.

I'm keeping the stupid Luxon postcard that came in the mail saying "I personally guarantee that if National gets in then we will do this", so that when they inevitably renege on most of them, I can spam it everywhere with the caption "SHOWS WHAT LUXON'S WORD IS REALLY WORTH HUH" which will definitely win people over

Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:I'm looking forward to the speed limits all going up again around here, costing more money to redo the signs and traffic management. It's great that we're gonna have a poo poo government because people love driving fast and killing each other to get to kfc or whatever. I'm going to continue driving at the lower of the posted limit (even when it's 30 on a state highway) or what I feel is a safe speed, which is usually a case of "holy gently caress this road cannot support its posted 100 limit, I'm doing 70-80", and the Rangers that tailgate me through those sections can lick me where I fart.

Slavvy posted:Or you could make it safer for everyone and just pull over when the opportunity presents itself I do that too, but there isn't always a spot where you can. Of course the Rangers would prefer you drive into the ditch and let them roar past rather than slow down a bit until the road widens again. And if the posted limit is 30 with cones on both sides then they can go gently caress themselves, I'm not going to get a speeding ticket just so they can get to their next beer a tenth of a second sooner.

You don't always have a place to pull over and in that time, when you are unable to pull over, Rangers will still be tailgating and frothing at the mouth. Is this so hard to understand?

Why can't he use his own resources to solve the problem he himself created instead of leeching off the generosity of the state? It's just encouraging dependency on handouts and an unwillingness to work. Wait, I'm getting passed a note here. It's not good for the gander? Well that's news to me

Man, Seymour is such a whiny britches about renewable energy: "Repeal the Clean Car Discount." ... "Work to replace fuel excise taxes with electronic road user charging for all vehicles, starting with electric vehicles." Such a testicle. Why are fragile men so attached to petrol engines in gigantic fuckoff trucks? What makes your brain look at those and think "I will make that a defining part of my identity"?

echinopsis posted:maybe that’s ok?? like is the size of govt labour left the ideal amount? this is not a rhetorical question, there is actually an “ideal” amount of public sector spending and idk if the previous govt was actually at that ideal or over it The people that ask this question are, like the  curve believers, uniformly of the belief that the "ideal" amount is way off to the left of the graph from now. Without exception.Unrelated: Hey here's another way tenants are going to get hosed by National! So they are proposing or implementing (forget which) retroactive tax deductibility for mortgage interest for landlords. Or in other words: Rich landlors are getting a *upper lip curls* handout from the government! Now, how many of those landlords who raised rents "because the government has raised the cost of my mortgage!!11!!1!!!!1" going to pass the savings back through to the tenants in the form of a refund? crickets

Lobsterpillar posted:Maybe these people are just single issue politicians who have jumped onto the National ship in the slim hopes of getting their single issue sorted. That's the impression I get, with a dash of "I'll go with whichever party that'll help me get into power", like the yanks that switch parties. Both major parties are different enough that it doesn't sit right with me for someone to just switch their support for any reason other than selfishness (or a significant change in personal circumstances or outlook, like becoming a landlord or a lolbertarian thinking their ideas through and becoming a leftist).
