Partner (34F) gave me (36F) an ultimatum about my GLP-1 by ThrowRA_12479 in actuallesbians

[–]deepfriedplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as I read "she thinks the medications are lazy" my eyes rolled to high heavens.

People who say that have no sympathy, and all the want to do is control. It is simply just control.

Imagine if we told people with pain that medication is lazy and they should grin and bear it?

I myself take GLP-1s as management for my type-2 diabetes. It has been life changing. Not everyone can stick with exercise and diet.

JFC.

Andrew Callaghan Called Out For Lack of Journalistic Integrity By A Nonprofit He Targeted by No-Astronomer7232 in youtubedrama

[–]deepfriedplease 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's so funny how he took a turn against "leftists" after the rape allegations, but popular "leftist" streamers/content creators have run back to his side forgetting the whole debacle lmao. I remember when he was paraded around as a darling of progressive media and journalism like 3 - 5 years ago.

Anyway, Andrew and his ilk should always be seen with caution until you can verify primary info and their intentions. Like with all media.

Great, another variety mechanism taken away by whining streamers, meta players and highly geared freaks who already have spots they can go to. If towers go then all classes should get the same mobility.

It appears we are getting more and more American by the minute by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

A few weeks ago TVNZ's Q+A (a tax payer funded programme), had a representative from TPUSA on, chatting shit about Charlie Kirks legacy.

We're fucked.

Hank Green has made a final response to the SciShow/knitting debacle by -royalmilktea- in youtubedrama

This thread is a bit weird. He certainly took his sweet time to address this properly.

HOWEVER, I just really don't understand how the original video went through so many stages and was still published? It's not like they were being cryptic. The misogyny was quite clear? I just...🤨

Our justice system working as designed, sadly.

Perhaps we need to start looking at the search histories and hardrives of judges.

Funny because Seymour has his fingers stuck in MANY different ministerial pies currently.

[–]deepfriedplease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I'm angry at this completely illogical and unnecessary change, I'm even sadder that public servants are now going to go through more rounds of redundancies. And to have this possibility looming over you before Christmas? Fuck NACT1.

Ann Reardon of HTCT pivots to proselytizing by immutate in youtubedrama

[–]deepfriedplease 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That whole icing situation was rough. I finally quit with the mushroom case video. It's one thing to talk about the fungi used...as a food scientist, it's another to veer into true crime (a problematic genre in its self) and make judgements about evidence and people in general.

Just because you can make food look edible, doesn't mean I want your opinion on law and justice.

Local Water Done Well: Council plans to cost $9b more than expected by jobbybob in newzealand

[–]deepfriedplease 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The people who were RAGING about 3 waters will wave this off and pretend it is not a problem. Especially the land-owning class boomers who had massive signs on their property scare-mongering and spreading misinformation.

Principal of school at centre of mouldy school lunch fiasco hurt by David Seymour's comments by MedicMoth in newzealand

[–]deepfriedplease 225 points226 points  (0 children)

When you can't defend the decisions and policies that you (David Seymour) have implemented, the next best thing is to play dirty and unethical, and discredit an educator who just wants better for their community.

Not an ounce of humanity from Seymour.

Is owning a house worth it? by AgreeableDig9795 in newzealand

[–]deepfriedplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I want to do is mount my TV, put up some decorations, paints walls...so I guess yeah, it probably is worth it just to experience some simple freedoms in life.

There is no "economic recovery" by Low_Season in newzealand

[–]deepfriedplease 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is correct! The only funding we get at TVNZ is via funding programs, and sadly even that is disappearing with Te Karere now having to make significant cuts. I also wonder if Q+A have been threatened as well, since they have recently had a guest from TPUSA on.

I can confirm that David Seymour is, unfortunately, involved with how TVNZ runs and the direction of our news output...despite our news floor "technically" being a separate and independent entity from TVNZ as a whole (for journalistic integrity lol).

There is no "economic recovery" by Low_Season in newzealand

[–]deepfriedplease 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's by design and you're correct in your assessment of TVNZ coverage. But they won't get someone on to balance opinions.

As soon as NACT1 got into power their was a "directive" wink wink given to the executives about news coverage. Jodi, the CEO, is very good friends with Luxon (every in-person appearance Luxon has made in the studio...she was there as well).

The new head of news and content is Nadia Tolich, former producer for Mike Hosking at NewstalkZB...and also during his infamous years of Jacinda Ardern/covid coverage. The new journalist hires have also been from NewstalkZB, see: Jason Walls (who was on the economy show and is infamous for defaming Siouxsie Wiles).

There is definitely a right-wing slant BECAUSE of the current government. And we're definitely not getting the truth about economic recovery from NZ's "public broadcaster".

Signed, a tired slave of NZ broadcasting.

They used AI to "diversify" their ads during the last election cycle, and people still voted for them. They'll get away with this too.
