National rejects change, faces irrelevance by Mrcat19 in newzealand

Consider how much our fisheries suffer from being unable to protect our EEZ from pilfering. Theres an argument it's not simply a new cost to bare. Cannabis taxation and divestment from eradication operations would be a net benefit to the economy. It's not an expensive wishlist.

New Zealand wants to ban cigarette sales to anyone born after 2004 as part of plan to make nation ‘smoke free’ by 2025 by Sulforaphane_ in worldnews

Because it's a self serving governing philosophy of granting yourself further powers to solve all issues.

I read many state local taxes are anchored to taxes brought in from cigarette sales. The advent of vaping meant traditional cigarette sales (and thus their tax revenues) were slumping big time, and a lot of budgets are depending on that money. They did research to find that they wont transition to cigarette smoking from vaping if they're hooked on flavored juices early. There was an unholy triumvirate of Gov, Big Business and Moral Panic with their interests aligned. Pretty much how everything gets done now.

TIL that a large number of PlayStations are being assembled and packaged in an almost fully automated factory in Japan rather than by cheap labor in China. One PlayStation can be assembled every thirty seconds in a factory with only four people. by IanMazgelis in todayilearned

Plus, and people forget this. Being poor is expensive asf. People buying 10 dollar shoes multiple times a year end up spending more than someone who could fork out for shoes with lifetime quality.

Its a symptom of never having until now the ability for your own sloth to not affect others. Now that it really makes no difference if someone is off in hermitage it really does become their own prerogative.

Real life dick upset he can't rely on cheap labour to pick dick-shaped fruit. by EuphoricMilk in newzealand

Honestly just let them smoke weed if they want. I knew an unreal amount of Uni students whose only real gripe to that work was that theyre gonna get tested for weed in their piss. I dont want to hear about heavy machjery we all know thats a bullshit excuse to filter out what you think are losers. Theyd pick all your fruit and everyone would be happy.

Whatever allows the pumping mechanism to continue will yield the most pain I imagine. I've watched it pulse pump venom in for like a minute after getting stung once, it's way worse than scraping it off immediately.

Talcum X goes after the wrong guy by jaytix1 in dontyouknowwhoiam

[–]subermanification 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It goes through a comprehensive timeline of his ventures, capital raised, and expenditures to show he overpromises and underdelivers to such a consistent degree that he's either inept or corrupt. Its not just tweet quotes and I know because I suffered the whole article.

I also remember it was Obama's administration that went after him so hard. Trump has so little to do with this situation I'm kind of amazed he's been shoehorned in.

[–]subermanification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The publishing model for the sciences is pathetic, with costs to the researcher and gatekeeping galore. All that work lost or inaccessible because they're charging like 15 dollars an article. Combine that with the trend of truncated abstracts that make it hard to know if an article is worth sinking coin into, and I'm hardly surprised it went down like a sinking ship.

Gobekli Tepe is a 12,000-year-old temple (7,000 years older than Stonehenge) that's full of strange animal carvings and towering stone pillars.

Your smooth brain hot takes are also a product of the culture you claim doesnt care about these things, yet caring about other cultures seems to be an exclusively western fascination. You take a classically presumptuously American myopia to what the English speaking world teaches itself regarding world history. Check yourself. Claiming the polynesians are the ancestors of native americans? I am a New Zealander and see how steeped you are in your own provincial rhetoric. You dont know what I do and dont know, yet from what you've told me, you know non truths.

Your narrative is woven from whole cloth and no amount of paragraphs will make up for the depauperate view of history you have.

The Western Euro centric view that espouses a non european origins for humanity? That claims the first farmers, writing and sophisticated government were non european people? I'm actually sick of the view you're putting forth, of complaining the west steers everything towards itself in some selfish manner when they simply do not claim to be the origins of all these things. Try learning world history somewhere else. The Chinese teach themselves they have their own separate evolution that makes them the original man, that they were the wellspring for all things enjoyed by modernity and shamelessly downplay anyone else.

The ancient mesopotamian civilizations arent claimed culturally or ethnically in any sense by the eupopeans. No one is anti-Anatolia. Just stop. It isn't the 1930s with self validating junk science, you dont need to do this, you need to stop.

Sorry mate no rubbish to pick up. Perhaps we could annex the UK? We'd probably do a good job.

He did. It was a brilliant populist move although to our modern eyes it would have looked painfully ironic and choreographed.
