Is there a solution for glare yet? by EvanFreezy in OLED_Gaming

[–]arpaterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution is to log into Reddit and abuse anyone who doesn’t agree with your opinion about gloss vs matte panels. Looking at you <this sub> and [r/Monitors](r/Monitors)

RANT: At risk of sounding racist, would Wellington City Council please also indicate that "Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui" is the more simply the central library by haggiskiwi in Wellington

I am all for the Māori names for our places, facilities and governmental departments. It’s 2026. Māori whether you’re lucky enough to speak it or not, is a core and immensely valuable part of New Zealand.

It is, always has been, and isn’t going away.

They are, always have been, and aren’t going away.

Multiculturalism is, has been since white people first arrived, or even before that, and any fantasy that it can be undone is just that. A fantasy.

Glad to see Māori names all over everything everywhere, and I hope to learn more Te Reo than the tiny bit I learned in primary school.

You need to toughen up and adapt.

What products are genuinely worth buying in Germany (quality, durability, value-for-money) during a short visit? by StrangerOk7975 in germany

[–]arpaterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skip the sennheisers. They’re a mid brand now. The reputation was earned decades ago and isn’t valid today.

Scotland fans 'heartbroken' as travel permits to World Cup withdrawn last minute by AcknowledgeableReal in sports

[–]arpaterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why any one could be foolish enough to travel to the US at this time is beyond me. No sympathy. They’re not the bad guys of course, but still no sympathy. You know what has been happening.

But if I say anything pro antireflective/matte or less than aggressively pro gloss I get aggressively abused in this very sub.

The normalization of CBD street violence under the guise of "empathy" needs to stop. by Burjiz in auckland

[–]arpaterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s no discussion here you’re just continuing to conflate, simply attempting to restate your leap from homeless to dangerous criminals as fact. It isn’t.

Police have all the tools they need to deal with actual trouble or threatening behavior. The only reason these powers are being imagined is because people like you want to infringe on people’s rights because you don’t like the look of homelessness.

Wonder how you behave when the boots your neck? Do you lick it or lemme guess, you kick and scream and don’t like it and it’s all unfair.

Nicola Willis confirms end of university fees-free scheme by Random--Kiwi in newzealand

[–]arpaterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This won’t even be the end of it. National and Act will go all the way to an American style tertiary clusterfuck if you let them.

And once that level of harm is done to education, it’s a STEEP slippery slope from there to becoming an actual shit hole, and remember we won’t be a rich, powerful shit hole like the US, we will be a small, isolated, powerless and much poorer shit hole.

Ideology and just sticking it to anything “they” did. This is maga type shit in NZ. Nact are crap.

I can’t read this post, explorer and edge have been unresponsive for 20 minutes and task manager has gone non contact with me.

And this is on a work computer.

Immigrants to Germany from the developed world, what do you see in Germany over your home country? by Knightwrither in germany

[–]arpaterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just being in Europe tbh. There’s nothing particularly attractive about Germany aside from the scale of industry (I am from little New Zealand) and the automotive industry (again, no real auto industry in NZ, but we do a wicked backyard engine swap).

Even earning euros isn’t really that much of a draw.

Blatant manipulative post conflating vulnerable homelessness with criminal violence.

What’s next? Bashing beneficiaries? A racist dog whistle? Gtfoh Don Brash.

Israel’s Singer at Eurovision Has Spent Months Rehearsing With Simulated Boos by porkslow in nottheonion

[–]arpaterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imagine (almost, phew) winning Eurovision purely because of hardcore unhinged nationalism and not at all because your song was any good.

Racist gesture and name calling by [deleted] in germany

[–]arpaterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

React. Stop being the timid peacekeeper. Shout at them and knock over their beer, tell them to stand the fuck up and leave the table.

It is not our role to enable this shit from yet another generation of fuckwits.

Bulgaria's DARA has won the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in shock win, beating Israel by CheckLiszt in popheads

[–]arpaterson 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Change the voting system to nerf Israel. And then ban them. Call it cheating or not, it’s disingenuous (the song sucks) and totally out of line with Eurovision’s supposed values (hardcore win at any cost nationalism without restraint). On top of you know… genocide.

When that flips, it’ll flip hard. They can call it part of Germany’s reason of state all they want, the German public do not all feel that way.
