This is my dilemma too! Most of the threads in my instance are politics.

It doesn’t help that I’m actually quite interested in politics.

I just don’t like discussing them online because of the minority of people can’t remain civil.

Okay, looking forward to it!

Is it partly a timezone thing?

Thanks. That was not what I was expecting; for some reason I was basing my imaginary skunk smell on the smell of rotten fish.

That’s so fascinating. Thanks for the specifics!

Wow that’s quite the bioweapon!

Yeah it’s not really something you export, so I can’t sample it ha ha. Even now that everyone’s telling me it’s still just an imaginary smell to me.

Planning to make our own glockenspiel?!😀

It’s much easier to find something if you know it’s a thing. But I think google (and maybe wikipedia) failed us on this. If I win lotto I’ll give that paid search engine a go.

Ha ha that’s right I forgot about your tiger slug! Did that work out for you as a pet or did it roam away?

That’s a bit disappointing. I probably do have good search skills but the way search engines are going it takes more effort these days to get the same level of results, so I was aspiring for something that could help if I ever got to the point I could afford it.

Next time I’m doing a big project I’ll give the 100 free searches a whirl.

I was hoping it was more like vivisimo/clusty which used to clump results in patterns, or old version altavista which used to dredge up 10x more results than other engines.

Good on you for supporting tech goals and stuff. That’s really cool.

Thanks, I will bookmark that!

I’m learning so much it stuff by lurking around here! You guys are single handedly catching me up to this decade.

I can’t find it either, though I bet I could find something rudimentary in a library. But it’s an old artisan skill, so the only real way to learn is to apprentice ourselves to a master clockmaker. I did however spot how to build one in Roblox!

What has your general experience of Kagi been like? Disappointed it was no better at this.

It really is weirdly regressive.

That’s unnecessarily cruel. There’s no need to tell me I’m “no sane person” or to say I “need to learn what a joke looks like”, just because of one misunderstanding that I literally just apologized to you for straight away.

We’re on the same side about this issue. All I was trying to do, was agree with you and share ideas for how I think left wing people like me could maybe influence middle New Zealand to see how bad the fast track bill is.

I know I’m poorly socialized these days. I don’t get to practice much because I hardly ever get to have conversations irl any more, but it felt friendly here in lemmy.nz until right this moment.

I don’t know if you’re having a bad day or if it’s always like this, but I just… Idk, I don’t come here to get into arguments and be called names, it’s depressing, so I won’t be doing this with you any more.

Anyway, thank you for all the articles you posted in recent months. I have really enjoyed reading them and your thoughts. Nga mihi.

Oh my goodness I was joking. Of course not. The quotation marks around “any means necessary” were scare quotes to indicate an ironic use of the term.

Relax, I’m not writing to Chloe Swarbrick to demand the use of the fast track to slaughter babies.

I don’t see anything in our conversation above (or other conversations with you) that would indicate that I’m either criticising the left or else that I’m some kind of delusional homicidal fringe member of the left.

Anyway, my idea of a witty comment did not work and tone is hard on the internet. Sorry. I think maybe I need to stay out of the politics section!

So do I. I wish we were more like those countries with a lot of civil infrastructure where people put out packages of information for the public to get informed of issues. Like Switzerland.
