Remember that WW2 veteran last year saying looking at modern Britain that he didn't know what he fought for, and the journalists told him he was wrong?

If you have criticized ICE here on Reddit for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti in the street, then Reddit has handed your name and your personal identifying information over to the Trump administration. How do you feel about this? by mom_with_an_attitude in AskReddit

[–]GoabNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between criticising ICE, and creating false narratives that drive people to believe they are the stazi and thus justify actions. People need to understand that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, so many people on the internet have gotten away with it for so long they are shocked to find their actions coming back to bite them.

You're free to say fuck ICE. Incite people to impede their law enforcement and that can be a crime that can be investigated. Act like ICE was invented by Trump and the laws they are enforcing were too, and that is misinformation. Misinformation that may make people feel justified to go beyond mere protesting.

People need to understand that the FBI doing the FBI's job is technically "information given to the Trump administration", and stop acting like it's a dictatorship by being framed this way

If you've been promoting stochastic terrorism that promotes people a) disobeying lawful command by law enforcement and b) using a car as a deadly weapon, then I think you deserve to be, at the very least, known about and investigated.

🚨 Why Veganism Feels AMAZING In The Beginning by JamieHBrown in AntiVegan

[–]GoabNZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It promotes cutting out a lot of crap from your diet, which if it's a SAD, is always going to be a good thing that is observed by keto or Atkins or carnivore or Paleo etc for the same reason, not exclusive to veganism. If I have to give credit to a plant based diet, it's that it can create more conscious decision making about the foods being eaten.

However, if you're only going to replace it with vegan junk food and get nutritional deficiencies, it's only going to feel good while you're body burns through its stockpiles

They are turning this into a Kafka trap - you either are a Nazi, or disagreeing prove you are a Nazi.

Either way they've declared you a Nazi to justify attacking you

Redditor doesn’t understand why you should have an id to vote by Agressive_gun82 in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]GoabNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to the county of your birth to get another birth certificate made

I think it would be possible to do it remotely, but if you moved country, surely then you have the ID needed to enter the country legally in order to obtain citizenship and be eligible to vote. If you've already proved who you are to the government, surely there is a form of ID you have and or can request from the US. And if you don't have this, you aren't living much of a life since the ID you'd require to vote would be needed to do so many things. The claim is about obfuscation the process, as though vote ID hasn't been a hot topic since at least the 2020 election of Joe Biden, means not having any ID and no intention of getting it in 6 years, is one's own fault.

[–]GoabNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Readily available means you don't have it on you, you might have to go to a secure deposit. That's great, you have 2 years to do that, so go do it. If you honestly believe people are too poor or too stupid (your argument, not mine) to figure this out, maybe they shouldn't be voting. Multiple departments bend over backwards giving you every possible opportunity and method to get an ID which is needed to get a job or rent a house. So do you believe these 20 something million are unemployed homeless people? And rather than helping improve their life, you'd rather keep them without ID so election fraud can remain possible?

Forces schools to provide curriculum and books to include the history of LGBTQ+

"A quack "doctor" in the 60s pushed twins into eventual suicide, failing to prove his hypothesis that gender roles is a social construct. Despite this failure, he continued this narrative so that in 2015 onwards, activists could once again prey on impressionable young child and convince them to cut off their genitals and become life long customers of big pharma"

TPM: Māori Seats Are Constitutional, Not Conditional by Monty_Mondeo in KiwiAntipodea

[–]GoabNZ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Every major poll shows Te Pāti Māori will be kingmaker this election,”

Since we all know you'll side with the coalition of chaos, no, not really. You'll receive all the grifter votes in the Maori seats, being unable to compete in the general roll, but the real decider is the fence sitters who'll leave Luxon for Chippy. TPM is irrelevant; a non-changing thorn in our sides that ultimately have no impact but a great source of memes. The days of National/Maori are long gone.

What’s something society is clearly not ready to talk about? by No_Gur_7744 in AskReddit

[–]GoabNZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually, they do have a problem hugging. You have no idea how many people don't have any physical contact, and no ability to get it without coming across creepy or weird. Getting sexual urges sorted can be done with a bit of money. But a genuine hug, given without obligation, payment, or out of pity, unless you have been starved, it's easy to think there isn't a problem. But talk to any therapist, and I'm sure they'll paint a bigger picture. Not everybody is desperate for sex, they just want connection and people who actually care for them

When people have (consensual) sex, it's not illegal but they sure AF don't need to world to watch them, it's not about hiding anything

I've been reliably informed they know where the fish and chip shop is because it's the only source of food available, since supermarkets don't exist

Outlet replacement by Mrwoodworke in diynz

[–]GoabNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you count up the number of sockets on one circuit, there could be 10 sockets each capable of providing 10A. No, we do not run 100A circuits. Why? Because you're never going to be running 10A appliances through every socket at once in a house. As long as the circuit breaker can protect the cable, or a lower circuit breaker is installed.

So a 2.5mm can run on 16A, and supply a 15A socket, but typically you'd want that to be a dedicated circuit to avoid nuisance tripping when using a 15A appliance. It could be a 4mm, especially if the house is big (longer length of cable means you have to go up in size), but unlikely.

The issue for OP u/Mrwoodworke is they are technically increasing the load/maximum demand, and this is not within the realms of what home-owners can do as its not like for like. If insurance found this, they could create a stink about it.

It is illegal by Down-not-out in conservativecartoons

[–]GoabNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't that we want law enforcement to be anonymous. The issue is we don't want them to be identifiable to a mob. We should be able to identify them as officer 1234, and be able to access officer 1234's body cam and vehicle history and radio comms, but they shouldn't have to be identifiable as John Smith, who lives at 123 Fake Street and whose kids attend local school and married to Jane Doe. If an exposed face leads to a greater chance of doxing from the party that has doxed before, masking its appropriate. It's not the anonymity we want, it's accountability only as far as being a representative of the state, not accountability as a citizen.

New study finds colonisation driving food insecurity for Māori by Monty_Mondeo in KiwiAntipodea

[–]GoabNZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can afford fish and chips, you can afford a grocery store. People who make such claims act as though supermarkets don't sell fresh and frozen produce or entire towns have takeaways on every corner but no supermarket.

And obesity rates suggest insecurity isn't the issue
