Some years ago, I was walking with my GF through the supermarket, we were looking at the sweets section, right at the end of the isle, when I let a very stinky fart go. I learned over and said we should go.
We walked to long way so we didn’t have to walk through the cloud, 30-40s later, just after we had rounded the far end of the isle we heard:
Female voice: “oh my god, was that you! That is discussing” (loudly) Male voice: “no, it wasn’t me”
Female voice: “why are you lying to me, you are always lying to me!” (Angrily)
Male voice: “but it wasn’t me” (also angry)
I think I may have put the final nail in the coffin of a bad relationship with a fart
My partner and I still laugh about it 16 years later.
To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...
Transcription: a photo of a shared pathway entrance with a series of steel pipes placed to create very narrow pathways to enter. The width is hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but far too narrow for a wheelchair or bicycle to fit.
I have got though these at reasonable speed on my mountain bike (when I was younger), with a very little bit of practice, riding through these is not hard.
Housing minister Chris Bishop has announced his decision on the Wellington District Plan, approving a series of amendments to radically upzone most of Wellington, allowing tens of thousands of new townhouses and apartments that were previously illegal to build....
These streets were all minor exceptions where the IHP had allowed weird density exceptions because the residents were rich and good at arguing and gave lots of reasons why their street was different to all the streets. The council rejected these exemptions, and Bishop agreed.

This kind of comment is designed specifically to garner attention. I assume the attention being generated is why TPM leadership is standing behind the comments.
I highly doubt that any of them actually think the government is trying to exterminate Maori. If it was actually case, I would expect a case being raised at the ICJ and massive international attention. Even with the wars going on, a western democracy that is part of various international alliances going from very liberal to hard fascist in less that a year, would cause massive international attention.
Maybe. Or would it just fly under the radar of public consciousness?
I think this particular instance has moved into the parody territory. But it is so easy to miss the mark, what gets reported on is not decided by what issues we care about, but by what will generate interest.
Whatever you do, don’t talk to the kid if you are not in the room. Two way monitor is a bug not a feature.
Made that mistake once, kid was crying I thought it would be comforting to hear me… Nope, disembodied voice freaked the fuck out of the poor little dude.
The extra 30-40s of crying while I walk up stairs is way better than the hour of hugs to get him back to sleep.
