i was so excited when Jacinda was elected, then one of the first things she did was scrap the sanctuary, and i realised she was just another politician, bowing to the big money. And who really believes it was about traditional iwi fishing rights? Sure, iwi in the non-traditional fishing industry

Honestly I would love to see someone in 2024 try and use my deadname or male pronouns at work, because I bet they would be dismissed so quickly their feet would barely touch the carpet on their way out the door. The workplace isn’t a stage for you to preach your ideology. It’s a fucking job, guys.

Pretty sure my gut flora just staged a mock vomit, to get their point across. Sorry for this image but, we came to an agreement and I felt the bolus go back down again. I had the sudden heat and everything. It's a long story. Much better now

You will never convince me that a person who punched someone in the face once is much, much more morally culpable than someone who cheats and steals for profit.

I'm in no position to give stick to any stupid haircut, but mullets, ffs. Just... try. Once in my 30s my Mum bemoaned my VERY full mane of twisty double header, triple header dreads 1/2 way to my Rs, and I said "if you'd've let me have that rats tail when I was 11, none of this would be necessary."

Does the US money still have the little anti-counterfeit strip in it that you can see if you hold it up in front of a light? Take a pic of various denominations showing the strip and say it's a tracking antenna.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Look sorry, it's true I am really anti sprawl but when Labour where the government there was a massive push from horticulture/farming to preserve the good arable growing soil/land for food production going into the future. Where are those voices now that Nats wanna do a fucking free for all? #NZPol

Call me a prude but quoting Snoop Dogg in your promo for teen dancers, mostly girls, seems misguided. Yeah he said that good thing that time but I feel they're not familiar with his ouvre, lol. And why would teens care about that old guy anyway
