Seriously considering going full vegan at this point.
I don't see the oat milk companies capturing the NZ government and getting them to fast track leniency for environmentally and ethitcally harmful oat farm practices.
I don't see any oats being raised in farrowing crates.

My new laptop, which is mid to high spec, is unable to play "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle", which came out at the same time.
EVERY new game should be playable on ANY low spec computer released within the previous five years.
I do not need movie quality graphics. I just wanna play.

Spend time with the people who have a positive interpretation of you.
They're probably just projecting but try not to let them find out.

And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
From Just Like Heaven
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
From Just Like Heaven
Alone, alone, all all alone
Alone on a wide wide sea!

Remember, if you recognise someone who smashed a pair of smart glasses, no you didn't
In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.
Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

It's been super depressing watching a lot of political commentators I respect suddenly put on a Labour shirt and say things like "I stand by Hipkins!"
And it's like
He's a liar
He lied about Tamatha Paul
This makes him an abusive person
You're standing by an abusive person
What are you doing

Hipkins still has not denounced Winston nor apologised to Tamatha Paul
He still trashes the Greens and TPM
Make as you will

Labour stans would prefer we be silent and stop pressuring Labour to listen to our demands and just be happy with Hipkins and their policies, but if we don't get them to listen to us then Atlas will get Labour to listen to them. #nzpol

This whole saga is giving me flashbacks to when I lived in a flat where I consantly had to clean up after other people but was somehow also the problem.

The marshmallow test, but for city maintenance.
It will cost you one marshmallow THIS year to maintain the roads you drive on.
OR
It will cost you five marshmallows NEXT year to maintain the roads you drive on.
Hmm.
It's a tough one.
Surely next year is someone ELSE'S problem? 🤔💭💭💭

Yup.
If that road were tolled I would simply drive around the bays to get to the airport.
Factor in a bit of extra travel time. Cope with it easily because I'm not a toddler.
It's a much nicer view and would save me a toll.
A huge investment just to get me to use a different road.

The amount that the toll would charge, how, & when, is all redacted. We also have no idea how much traffic will be moved from the tolled road to ‘free’ roads meaning that some neighbourhoods will likely have huge new volumes of traffic that their roads were never designed to take

Chris Hipkins lied about Tamatha Paul.
This is a demonstrable fact.
He repeated the lie even when called out on it by multiple people.
I have the receipts to prove this.
It depresses me so much that the Labour Party have not replaced him as leader yet.
Lying should disqualify him for the role.

At my NZSL class this evening the teacher said to us, "don't do this sign by mistake, it's rude!" without telling us the meaning of the sign.
So I'm grateful to Luxon for doing vagina fingers today.
Now I know.
