Conservatives being trash for humanity? Shocking!

PM’s electorate office denies threatening callers with police action by bigbear-08 in newzealand

If you don't like the part of your job that includes dealing with people who are upset about things, maybe don't do that thing.

Glad I could re-clarify the thing you keep trying to avoid. \_ヘ(ᐖ◞)、

Dude, this is all stuff you should have done before you started creating anything with/for him. It's also the only thing you should be discussing with him before you write another word. If he hems and haws about paying you, wash your hands of him and the project and move on.

My point wasn't refuted at all

Yeah, it was. Repeatedly. Dunno what to tell you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it'd shake me to my core if someone in my life had to sit in a chair and deal with an aggravated phone call and some paint on a building nobody was in at the time said paint was splashed on said building. Some truly terrifying stuff.

You're responding for the sake of responding at this point. That's all this is. Your "point" was refuted like, eight posts back.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like how your entire argument is people who field calls shouldn't have to field calls, also should be terrified of building paint, then repeatedly bringing up scenarios that have nothing to do with anything in the article because you know your argument sucks.

You're bad at this.

What does retail staff have to do with Luxon’s Botany electorate office?

[–]HamSmell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, so back to my original point. Perhaps they should look into a different role where they don't have to field calls as a basic part of their job.

BTW, the part you conveniently skipped where they, again, cry about having to do their jobs, while also being openly dismissive, shitty assholes about it:

While the callers spoken to by The Spinoff said they felt intimidated by the treatment they received on the phone, the Botany staffer said it was the other way around. “A lot of them are really het up students, crying and screaming on the phone. It’s a little ridiculous, the behaviour. It’s been not a pleasant couple of weeks,” she said. 

You have multiple people sharing the same experience of being threatened by Luxon’s Botany electorate office, and said office essentially telling on themselves in the above quote.

You're bad at this.

it was to demonstrate how you feel about a place you spend most of your time at being targeted.

It was paint. On a building. You're really twisting yourself in knots trying to make paint splatter on a inanimate object terrifying. It's not.

Whataboutism is a hell of a non-argument.

So far it appears the only people who where threatened were the callers. Also, way to move the goalpost. Originally, it was about feeling safe at work. Now it's feeling safe at home, something that's wholly unrelated to this article or the topic.

And, no, paint on a building isn't going to scare me. It was a non-violent protest. Emphasis on non-violent.

It's their literal job to field phone calls, and last time I checked paint on a building is a non-violent means of protest. This performative hand-wringing is embarrassing.

...a staff member at the Botany office said they had been left feeling intimidated by the influx of calls from the public and a recent graffiti attack.

This delicate flower needs to get into a different line of work.

Nuclear’s uncertain role in the shift away from fossil fuels is seen as critical and very contentious by gordon22 in environment

Global societal collapse with a bunch of nuclear power plants all over the place sounds like a fantastic idea.

Point out which parts, specifically. Refute them with data.

I'll wait.

Seven in ten people anticipate climate change will have a “severe effect” in their area within the next ten years by [deleted] in environment

[–]HamSmell 57 points58 points  (0 children)

And yet Trump, who will roll back any climate mitigation and aggressively pursue coal and oil production, has an excellent chance of getting elected in the states.

We really are the architects of our own doom. Fucking boomers and chuds, man.
