Started growing my beard in, for the first time in years. It’s white. Hell yeah I’m old

Ah, but you can then show that less people are on benefits and say you’ve done well. Just don’t look at what experts say about poverty. In fact, best to fire the experts if you can!
I’ve seen so many comments like the original tweet and i don’t get it. At worst Turkish delight is its perfectly fine. If I were an English child in 1943 it would probably blow my mind
Last week of work for the year, first week of school holidays means we’re trying to work from home while the kids murder each other.
Also, Jerboa keeps crashing so I’m trying Boost and I think it’s better?
Buying gifts for other people’s kids is so fraught. There are apparently 3 genders: Unicorn, Dinosaur and Construction Worker
It’s not “the done thing” which is why it’s a protest and say, writing a letter to the news papers isn’t.
Irs likely all of the above: Teachers are under valued and over worked, poverty, bad housing and low pay for parents means less time their kids, 3 years of covid… it all adds up
I voted Huia, I just have a soft spot for them
Unfortunately we can’t condense 75years of modern Israeli/Palestinian history into a 2 panel Simpsons meme to explain that, yes Krusty Burglar is evil but Homer had previously committed several atrocities of his own including the rape and murder of The Burglar’s family and is now throwing grenades into the audience because they didn’t do enough to stop the Burglar.
But this is justified by the Simpson’s religious/cultural beliefs, themselves formed in response to violence and trauma committed by others, and funded by the religious fanaticism of the Flanders family who believe the Burgler has to die to usher in the end times.
Some people are gonna get annoyed by this but I reckon more controversy means more attention for NZ wildlife
It is almost always cheaper and more humane to give poor people money when they need it (both directly and via services.) Than to mop up the mess with police, prisons, Healthcare etc etc.
People seem to think poverty is a choice, and maybe it is, but it’s a choice by governments and citizens not to help those who need it.
To quote futurama: “You’ve been drinking too much, or too little, i forget how it works with you, anyway you haven’t drunk exactly the right amount.”
Nice! I’m catching up on long overdue lawn mowing. Honestly I’d rather leave it to the bees but it’s getting to the point where we’re going to lose a kid in that jungle
An ill-defined mishmash of socialism*, enlightened self-interest, humanism and some trace Christian hang-ups. Basically whatever Star Trek was on about.
*I know, it’s a dirty word
I try to. I started because I got so annoyed with others failing to do this.
However, I still fail at it often enough to occasionally embarrass myself.
I love that idea. Also, I should really hang out here more instead of lurking All
