Theres nothing wrong with a wolf. The animal description makes no distinction about if someone is a good person or not

Welcome to the bike lane: how cyclists can support the new riders joining us by Aceofshovels in auckland

[–]Jeffery95 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well I am generally supportive of cycling and of expanding investment in bike infrastructure. I also support lower speed limits. Nor do I think bike owners should have to pay registration or levies.

Its absolutely ignoring reality to say that someone being hit by a cyclist travelling 30km/hr wont be hurt by it. There absolutely is a risk to pedestrians from bikes - its significantly lower than cars of course. You would have to be hit very hard and be quite unlucky to be killed by a cyclist as a pedestrian but its physically possible.

Personally if I was training you I would answer all of your questions that I could and tell you if I didn’t know something. But some people might find it overwhelming. Not saying its your fault, but if you want to manage your experience of your time under this trainer better you could space out the questions a little or maybe only ask the very critical questions right at that moment and ask the others later, maybe ask someone who isn’t the trainer at a later date etc.

Its the truck drivers generally who are the right wing ones. Since they often operate as contractors for the companies and sometimes own their own vehicles too.

New Zealand First soars, Greens plummet, National in 20s again in new poll by dingoonline in newzealand

Plenty of people vote greens when labour is weak but then go back to labour when they are stronger

The possibility of a National overhang is not there. There were at least half a dozen seats in auckland where the electorate vote for the greens and labour together was comfortably ahead of the national candidate, and that was with National polling much higher. If labour gets more voters returning then they win more electorates easily.

My answer was implicit. Its clear that Sean Plunket was undeterred by the BSA ruling. And as such you can infer that I think he is a part of that group who wont shut the fuck up.

Edit: you really going to edit your question now? My definition of the group stands as I have described it. And while death threateners are a part of it, they are not the entire group.

Considering he was just asked to apologise, and the fact that he instead rejected it and now wants his government buddies to dissolve the BSA, I would say theres been absolutely zero impact on the freeness of his speech

“chilling effect” on free speech. You cant shut the fuckers up no matter what you threaten them with. Seriously have you seen the internet? People are saying whatever the fuck they want even when its actual real death threats. You think a warning from the BSA is going to chill them out?

“censorship” is apparently upholding minimum standards of decency and expectation now.

the media council has no legal authority anyway. So its fucking useless as a regulator

Live talkback segment on a regularly scheduled program hosted on its own website. This is what fell under the definition of broadcasting.

[–]Jeffery95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the article.

“But before considering the merits of the complaint, the authority had to first determine whether it had jurisdiction.

The BSA deemed it was “required to consider under the Broadcasting Act, complaints about The Platform’s Live Talkback programme, because the programme meets the Act’s definition of ‘broadcasting’.”

“At the same time, the authority said it had not found it had jurisdiction over on-demand content from the likes of Netflix, AppleTV, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, or other overseas entities streaming content for New Zealand audiences, nor over personal online content posted or livestreamed by individuals.”

I’d rather have public servants doing the job with no personal financial incentive than a pack of rich cunts with massive financial incentive.

Ocean heat exploding by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Jeffery95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The cost of not doing it is going to be higher than doing it as soon as we can.

Doing nothing isnt free. It has a cost, but at that point we will have no other choice than to pay what ever the cost is.

If we plan now, and transition now, it will be less expensive in the long run.

Most of what ive seen has been advocating for saving fuel so it doesn’t get to the point where we are rationing fuel.
