As opposed to billionaires just buying politicians?

Parents somehow “taking advantage” isn’t the problem.

It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes.

Being able to treat people as things is pretty much the core of it.

Parents should be allowed a vote on behalf of their children until their children reach whatever age the jurisdiction allows independent voting.

That’s awesome.

I suspect there’s still ample opportunity for the NSA/etc (indeed any state actor) to interfere with shipping at almost any point and have disclosure that it happened be a crime.

If they can’t route a package with it being tampered with how am I supposed to trust their packets?

Plausible to within 1/5 of a plausibility unit.

“This jacket looks ridiculous”.

Guy walking in with hat: “Uhh…”

Why do all their jackets look three sizes too big?

Obviously they need room for all the medals, but they could at least tailor them.

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

It was literally the tag line for Windows 98 I think!

The gag was that it just (barely) works.

No-one who buys a PC with windows preinstalled gets any choice at all… and had the preinstalled malware cme with it.

I can’t work out what this an acronym for. Please help!

Yes it is. Pick a newbie friendly distribution. Say Ubuntu.

IMHO Windows is only “user friendly” because it’s preinstalled on most PC’s.

User friendliness comes with experience.

There’s a (global) trend to have actual bank branches cashless. It’s purely a cost saving “innovation”.

Having only a drive-through ATM is a little weird though.

I fail to see where I’m inserting myself I there.

But keep tilting at windmills.

Bye.

That was my “wants to” bit was supposed to cover. It’s entirety your choice and no-one else’s.

I don’t get to tell you “how Māori” you are, or specifically if you are/not Māori enough.

That corporate adoption is only profit/marketing driven anyway.

Look how culturally sensitive we are! Spend money with us!

It’s sickening.

There’s performative bullshit because someone gets it in their head that a karakia is some from of “support”. It’s our version of “thoughts and prayers”. A token gesture requiring no actual effort or investment to tick a box.

IMHO one of the best things to do is just lean our actual history, and not just post European contact history: there’s another six centuries of history before that just in NZ. Though 19th century is the most important to learn.

Try reading past “No.”

Those of us that care enough, will find out the appropriate ways to provide such support.

And you probably fit right in 1930’s Germany
