Hi, it’s me 👋

Like I’ve said already, I’m not from NZ but am merely a cousin from across the ditch. Far left in Australia means the Socialists and Greens. Seems you’d criticise me for putting the centre-left Labor party next on my ballot, but you do need to number all the boxes for your vote to count! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you know so little about the country, why don’t you bugger off someplace else? Instead of making up spurious claims. In any case, I’m not going to bother with replying to you further, but you have a great day, okay?

Why are you commenting here? Just to troll?

Scratch a liberal…

I vote far left actually. I just happen to have empathy for everyone caught up in the US regime. Which you pretty clearly don’t have. You could just as easily say that Central and South Americans chose to go to the US in search of a better life. However, that would obviously be fluffing psychotic.

Edit: Also this is news coverage in a New Zealand community, on a New Zealand site, by a New Zealand news service, because she’s a New Zealander. Her being white doesn’t have anything to do with it, and I imagine the coverage would be the same if she were, say, Maori. Don’t conflate a lack of American news coverage of child detention in America, with an entirely different country prioritising news about its own citizens.

Where are you from and why are you commenting here then? I’m not defending her, I just have a human amount of empathy and am placing the blame where it belongs.

Also not actually from NZ mate. I’m just here because I care about my cousins from across the ditch.

The mistake was her own paperwork not being in order for her trip to and from Canada, something you acknowledged in your own comment, so I’m going to assume you’re just responding in bad faith.

What happened to her son is awful, trying to excuse it as “her responsibility” is disgusting.

Her son had all his valid paperwork on him, she said, which meant he was being held illegally.

People make mistakes, but yeah go off about a six-year-old being detained I guess.

These are tortoises, not turtles.

They do indeed fuck.

The tortoise on the left seems to be Harriet, one of the other longest lived tortoises tho she’s since passed. I’m guessing OOP did a search and got them confused.

heat pump technology is not the same as refrigeration. it’s the same difference as heat pump versus air conditioning

I think heat pumps solve this somewhat.

I feel like the article could have done a slightly better job of pointing this out to the layperson. But yeah, it is trivially easy to get the key off the manufacturer’s own website. Easy enough for a high school teen to do it in my opinion.

Uhm… same! So I couldn’t tell you. I do have a friend that’s type 1, but she uses an insulin pump these days.

That’s honestly a bit terrifying…

Ah, and I would bet a lot of money you don’t actually live in the EU, do you?

If all parties are aware that monitoring will occur (maybe include a sign in the door), I’d argue that minors are aware of what this means.

What, exactly, would be the alternative for a minor in school? Piss themselves back in class instead?

Wait, what? I meant reused as in the vial and my body…

So you’re entirely against the EU’s DMA?

I feel like surveilling a bathroom used by minors goes beyond the pale though. If the technology exists, it will be abused.

So, that’s a yes on the enforced monopolies?

So, hold up, your solution to monopolies is enforced monopolies?
