Something positive for a change

What is "tonorfer"

I think in the context posted it describes the assumption of the lead rider that the rest of the group know where they are going.

For example, a Ulysses run from Whangarei to Kaitaia, without giving directions or waiting for slower riders.

If it was Kaitaia to Whangarei it would be "tosoufer".

At the beginning of the ride when "tonorfer" is declared, engines are revved, fists pumped and buttocks briefly exposed, then the second rider to leave falls off.

I could be wrong.

Well, you're further norfer than me so that would make you a furnorfer and me a midnorfer.

At a guess I would say you and BMW-BeMyWings are rocking der Lederhosen?

Exactly right about compulsion, and a good leader should know and understand that. How many of us were accelerated into motorcycles because our parents tried to say we weren’t allowed one lol
A good leader by definition is someone who people will follow... eg the commander who doesn’t have tonorfer his troops because they trust his judgement and experience.
Jacinda looked like a good leader to start with as in Trump sequel style she told them what they wanted to hear... ending child poverty, building 100,000 new houses (bwhaaahshsha), kiwibuild, climate action, equality ....,
Bit faced with a problem where there are a clear set of options to resolve/control (whether I like those methods or not) she has been too slow and indecisive in doing them leading people (sic) to question the whole narrative....

The options to control the outbreak are there and have been discussed. Because the antis dont want to, how can leadership (any leadership) make them? Bring in the military? Ardern is already painted as a communist dictator. When the people see for themselves that they need to do what has been requested, maybe then they will. Or not, and die, clinging grimly to their "rights to freedom". The country does need a good run of deaths to jerk people out of their complacency.

Hilarious post of the week I’m still laughing

... As Dave said, initially we were told we didn't need a mask because they needed the available supply for medical staff. Once supplies became available we were advised to wear masks. This is considered inconsistent or unclear by those determined to find fault.

It was about that time when "How to make masks" vid's started appearing. But I do remember we were told that wearing a mask or face covering was advised. And keep the proper spacing's between yourself and others. Never ... "We didn't NEED them" ...

On every Covid deaths TV News item was people wearing masks.

More like they held the opinion that ... unless someone gives me some masks (free) ... I won't wear one. I'm not wasting my time looking for them. If we NEED to wear a mask they'll give me some. Fact is ... a half dozen phone calls ... a Visa card transaction ... and they (a box of 1000 masks) were delivered to my door two days later.

When people started dying in THIS country though ... attitudes changed (well ... with most people anyway). Nothing gets peoples attention faster than the imminent threat of death.



Go figure.

I’m not going to subject myself trawling through hours ofvfootage for evidence but....

Early on in season one when this was all new and even I was still watching some of the news updates before they got transformed in Labour Party campaign speeches...;

Bloomingliar stated when questioned by media that they didn’t think that the general public needed to wear masks and they couldn’t foresee us being made to wear them or words to that effect.
It was same in other countries and one popular American blonde blogger mum made an excellent hilarious video reading out the same type contradictory statements in a news broadcaster fashion.

We were told stay home couple weeks, social distance and wash your hands and Jacinda Fairy godmother would make nasty virus be eliminated, go hard go early.

Attitudes never changed about masks, very few wore them voluntary then we were forced overnight to wear them at shops etc by LAW. Then the psychology of conformism takes over....

Well put

As dark as this may seem, a good run of deaths is indeed required, to shake the complacency from the fence sitters.
I don't think there's actually that many true anti-vaxxers, but a good number of folks for whom covid is perceived to be far away from them to affect them...
