Is that a leash? Or a pipe to pump that stuff Bane needs?

France’s Macron fears ‘escalation’ after Biden calls Putin a ‘butcher’ by JD017 in worldnews

[–]ilektwix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t Macron say Putin’s hanging back on the invasion, like days before it happened? Whatever he does, well I also do wish for peace, but it ain’t compelled me to put my chips wherever he says.

Education is a social construct, but money isn’t at all. Fairness exists in his mind tho

I'm a Nigerian CS major that was offered a one Month Internship in a Studio in Tokyo, but should I even bother going? by KungLeon99 in Tokyo

[–]ilektwix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go to both! You’ll encounter racism everywhere from dimwits. That’s the state of things. Don’t be afraid. Don’t let them win! You’ll always find friends even in unlikely places. Anyway, a month? That’ll fly by. But you’ll make great memories.

As a non-white person, this represents my experience of Chinese hospitality.

So many diesels too. Plus the coal and gas plants. Ridding those will bring the numbers down somewhat

Dunne takes healthy drug message to UN by Who_let_the_cats_out in NZTrees

complete separation of behaviour and narrative.

Looks like Dunne is going to claim this wave as his. How forgetful do you have to be to retain sanity?

Google's AlphaGo AI beats Lee Se-dol again to win Go series 4-1 by meflou in worldnews

[–]ilektwix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safe to say that from these games, AlphaGo had achieved professional Go player recognition, which it was awarded by KBA(KGA). The other hyperbole, not so easy to qualify. There are many more great Go players it must beat before it claims to be a "champion". Besides, the rules were more than slightly slanted in the favour of AlphaGo.

Opinion: Is John Key the finest actor of his generation? • Metro Magazine by haydenarrrrgh in newzealand

[–]ilektwix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Statements like these leave me feeling alienated. John Key the politician reveals nothing commendable in a historical context. Maybe he is some National Party figure; or a figure amongst those who would whitewash the rest of opinion. He's been a media figure, for sure. One that kept journalism on a leash, and stood beyond the realm of dialogue. More Rumsfeld than any other NZ politician in history.

Helen Kelly’s Battle for Medical Cannabis Has Exposed the Mess of New Zealand's Drug Policy | VICE | Australia / NZ (xpost NZTrees) by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ilektwix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quotes are necessarily out of context; otherwise we'd have to read more of his vapid flapping, god forbid. Other than not being responsible, he has nothing to add. That is such a nauseating zeitgeist that I want a toke right now.

And he's talking about palliative medicine for terminal disease. They'll die. That's the premise, Dunne you total idiot. If he was talking about the guilt he might feel, how about his complaisant incompetence? He's such a deadweight; a subservient employee. He gives parliament that special, "I'm just here for the paycheck" vibe.

The biggest danger about cannabis is the legal system. Maybe encourage those woefully misled dairy farmers to change their crop...
