Ways to bully people into voting greens: -Withold your delicious cooking until they acquiesce -Give them rides in your fancy car if they agree to vote greens -Tell them voting greens prevents wrinkles -Watch catastrophic climate change videos in the communal area until they agree -slap them

Yes but is not this precisely why fucking with voters rights — or with anything relating to public discourse and education — is a wee bit concerning? There are certainly ways to make that relationship less non-linear… 😬

A combination of people who don't want them to do a good job (ask me how I know) and people who don't know what it takes to do so Reminds me of the time an old money chap got mad at John Key about the new Crown fleet. Not for upgrading it, but for being apologetic about it.

Thing about this is it is't hypocrisy (which is trivial anyway) It isn't even insincerity (which is not) It's just another example of how he had genuinely no fuckin idea of the job of PM that he thought "I will simply fly commercial" was viable in a job that requires him to travel constantly

This has aged worse than sour milk. "Luxon rejected suggestions that a Defence Force flight allowed greater flexibility." #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Not for *government duties* for his role as leader of the National Party for a party *fundraiser* for the *election* Surely this is outside the bounds of what the Air Force should be used for?? Seems like an enormous breach of his access to public assets! www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

How many oppo MPs can get themselves ejected by the Speaker for questioning the Speaker's willingness to selectively punish opposition MPs do you reckon

Due to a conversation that occurred over dinner, I posted the famous Bourdain Applejack tweet to the group chat with a couple of photos of the big man for context Responses from the kids who had never heard of him: "hes so butch" "hes slaying and smirking" I like to think he'd have appreciated it

Anthony Bourdain in later years wearing wraparounds and a mauve t-shirt, looking like the lost member of the Velvet Underground Anthony Bourdain as a young man with broccoli hair and a big knife, in chef's whites in the kitchen, slaying and smirking and serving and mogging before those things had been invented

Unpopular take: Business will NOT take a 10% hit in profits, they will ether drop wages of the few remaining check out staff, or prices will go up 10% across the board. If you check out yourself, that's your decision (I do both), but IMHO it won't go well for the workers/consumers Just a thought

Can we have this here in Australia? Shoppers should be paid for their efforts in serving themselves #auspol

Knew guy who was a state youth champ in BJJ, brother to a state champ in BJJ. My friend grew up to train cage fighters. But, he told me he’d never even brawl outside of martial arts - because ‘it’s not the same, man; a drunk guy could kill me with a lucky swing, no skill at all ’. Worth remembering.

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Jonah Hill says jiu jitsu has him ready to "annihilate" anyone who still sees him as the fat guy from Superbad "I love Brazilian jiu jitsu, except my body is begging me not to love it. My wife is often like, 'You're not going to become a professional fighter. You know that, right? You're a comedian" "If we got into it, I would f*ck you up. I would f*ck all three of you up" "My favorite thing is people are like, 'Oh, Jonah Hill, f*cking fat guy from Superbad.' And I'm like, 'I would f*cking annihilate you, dude. I'm not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it. Who's got it?'" SMARTLESS Sirius?

Or if you have to: * 4WD and/or if you have them * air down tyres * drive a gear lower and a lot slower than usual * hills are for experts, go the long way around * make sure your insurance is up to date

As Dunedin gets some of it's annual snowfall, & we all tick "Car Curling TV clip" off our bingo cards, can someone from the Edinburgh of the South please explain to me why people keep doing this?! I live on the flat plains, but still understand the physics of slope - friction = Do not drive!

Snow day. Kept the fire going overnight with slabs of jarrah that used to be a wharf given me by a mate who regrets that he does not have a fire to burn them in. D is working in the bedroom with the cat. Kids are making soup and doing homework and making music. Could be worse
