Stupid World

The candidates can be any gender thanks to a change in 2022 which shifted the co-leadership model from ‘one man, one woman’ to one woman plus one leader of any gender - and one of the leaders must be Māori. ”

Doesn't that just sum up the Greens. They sit round in sandals drinking carrot juice dreaming up ways to make themselves less effective. Twats!

If a person can decide their gender by how they "feel" at the time then so can racial blend. Both Winston and Seymour can claim to be maori to some degree, and how can it be proved or disproved? Will DNA testing be required?

Some people have found the new government's stance on smoking to be distinctly strange. It seems we were leading the world in kicking the habit and we threw that away to help pay for a tax cut.

The attachment may remove some of the smoke and mirrors. (Don't click on the YouTube linky thingy it doesn't work.)

Am I being overly cynical in thinking that Phillip Morris and The other outfit are hoping to get full control of the vaping industry supply before relinquishing too much on the tobacco?

It could be. It was truly startling to hear an Associate Health Minister express concern about the tobacco industry being on its knees. But it does explain a few things.

That doesn’t concern me at all and I doubt either plans to join the Green Party. I think it was during the Helen Clark era that the whole how much thing became taboo to even mention so you either were or were not.
All I’m ever concerned with is what is someone contribution to society or their policies.

We are now entering a new era of personal choice. I used to dislike Ziggy smoke a bit but I hate the sickly sweet odour of these lolly flavour vape fumes.The previous govt allowed vape to become a thing when it had chance to stop it starting, its health effects are going to be just as bad as smoking long term.

And also, coincidentally, turns out that Luxons sister in law is Trade and Marketing coordinatior for British American tobacco.
All smacks of corruption if you ask me…

All of which the media will ignore while getting hysterical over alleged (not yet proved nor convicted) shoplifting.

Given that we completely banned ciggie advertising along time ago it’s completely irrelevant then.

It could make entertaining reading if we compile a complete list of all politicians in-laws and who they work for. But despite six years of the Stalinda regime I don’t think even her lot managed to collect that type of data on the citizens.

A lot of the greens would have family perhaps working g for DOC, would it be corrupt for them to increase DOC wages or conditions.

Labour massively increased public service sector, most of whom living in Wellington usually vote for the incumbent govt to keep their jobs, that’s like buying voters with taxpayer money.

Well latest article other day said it’s $10k worth so quite serious. The damning video evidence along with her and her employers public confession will seal it. By playing the mental health card as a reason they confessed the crime as they had to qualify WHY the offending occurred. You do not offer a reason why something happened if you’re claiming innocence.

Her only chance is if a procedural error occurs in the collecting or presentation of evidence in court which happens surprisingly often.

I still think the bigger scandal is a green who claims to represent conservation of resources and equality for the poor is even setting foot in a high end fashion store selling items that are likely worn once or twice then forgotten about. It could be argued that women’s fashion industry is perhaps one of the biggest and most wasteful users of resources.

Apple Vision Pro and the idea of ‘spatial computing’, basically integrating the real world with a responsive visual computer interface in real time…



Clunky to the point of ridiculousness so far, but preferable I think to Elon’s approach of actually rummaging around in people’s brains.

If this is where the tech sector wants to go, the future is looking even more dystopian to me…

I gave up the fags when the price got stupid and I have put on about 15kg of pure lard since. Shirts don't fit, trousers don't fit, bike jacket is busting zips.

If the good old Nats can get the price of a pack of B&H down to a tenner then they can have my vote, will save me fucking around with gym membership.
