Trans rights = human rights.
Legalise it.
AH! - good point, that actually changes everything!
Sorry I overlooked that *stoned*

I'm wracking my brain trying to think of something to compare and I got nothing on that scale of experience, no.

Kind of surprising, surely there MUST be something...

Unfortunately though - I can never quite relate to this, because everything I hear is monotone. I'm deaf in one ear.

That's why I related more to the mono-to-colour transition.

mmmm - It might.

If I were to make a similar comparison, we could compare playing the text-based Oregon Trail by yourself, to playing Starfield online with thousands of people in real-time.

That's a huge sensory advance.

I dunno dude - my generation did see the change from BBS boards to the Internet on computers, to the internet on a pocket-sized phone.

That might be all we have so far, though.

Except /maybe/ for the change from tape to cd to mp3 - but even that's a bit of a stretch.

It was ever-so-briefly self defense.

That quickly turned into vengeance.

Which escalated into all-out bloodthirst and genocide.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Free Palestine!

Any youtube/website recommendations for Te Tiriti and Te Reo education much appreciated.

Kia ora :)

truth!

My ex is a masseuse, and as someone who used to run stupid amounts of miles - I was blessed to have her and her talent just on-hand.
Almost worth all the narcissistic sociopathy...
lol jk, still not worth it :)

I can still remember the tv3 theme song:

*sings*
"T-V-3 come home, to the feeling..."

I love AC/DC :)

...We think too much, and feel too little.

More than machinery, we need humanity.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost."

Been procrastinating seeing how fiddly it might be to type macrons but was surprised at how basic it was!

He mahi pai noa iho! - piece of cake!

With the racist dickheads buying their way into government, I'm redoubling my Te Reo efforts - starting with typing it correctly and speaking it more :)

Yeah I'm in Tuakau, I was hoping there'd be a Greens option when I heard Labour pulled out but nope.

It surprised me that this is a "National stronghold" - but I guess it's all the farms and whatnot.

Which is WEIRD because NATIONAL caused the M Bovis outbreak and LABOUR fixed it.
Bizarro world.

honestly I never liked "Aotearoarian", I would just say "Kiwi from Aotearoa" - but even that sounds janky. And it lacks the poetic nuance that ngai Aotearoa ahau has.

That sucks!

Basically halving the voting power of left-bloc voters out here (it's my electorate).
Doesn't seem very democratic.

They should allow people to vote for a different electorate as a special vote, or something...

Love it. Kia ora for this :)
