My understanding is that allowing disinformation to proliferate, even downvoted to oblivion, is still a chance to hook someone in to that thinking if they already see themselves as marginalised.

While pushing back, or removing will not work to reprogram true believers it will protect those vulnerable to misinformation

Every little bit helps to shift us towards bilingualism, which I think is great as we continue the slow, long overdue embrace the idea of a country run in partnership between Tangata Whenua and the rest of us folks

Yes that is the status quo of today, however I hope it becomes a more even split as time goes on.

Putting it in front may seem a bit on the nose, but to me it's respectful and helps push the balance towards normalising bilingualism in our country.

Gardens comes to mind. Not thanking the driver.

Capital punishment worthy stuff generally

Went op shopping with the MIL on the weekend and she said she kept running out of butter knives, but she doesn't have a proper stove so what the dots is going on there

Monkey smashing their refresh on keyboard thinking maybe it's an unplanned outage probably

Don't be afraid to invite people if based upon their observed behaviour you think they'll be a good fit.

In my mind it sort of falls in the camp of if you want the job then that's a potential sign you're not best suited!

Wow Sailfish is a name I haven't heard in a while - how is it? Looks like a very small list of supported devices?

Agree with this one, region is clear in the Maori and Wellington is interchangeable in the English

Yeah true that, it stood out to me over on Reddit that subreddits clustered around cities leaving everyone in between to glom to their closest.

Sometimes resulting in misunderstanding if someone was in the region but assumed to be in the city.

I think your idea is better than mine :)

Thanks for that, I've shared in Southisland , and also Wellington since that's my local.
