Is there no other way we can stop them doing this? It seems like they are overturning NZ's democratic process not just specific environmental decisions.

I''d have thought it was against our constitutional documents or something.

I'm sure most National voters didn't actually vote for Shane Jones to replace the RMA with his bank account number (pretty sure both main parties were involved in redrafting it). This is going to hurt everyone.

Holy moley.

What is their corporate support? Is that, like, the people who answer the phone when you need to update their files on developments?

Hey, thanks so much for updating me!! Sorry it took me so long to reply, was taking a break from social media.

I'm so excited for you, it all sounds wonderful. The lowering of tinnitus is an unexpected bonus! Really glad it improved your speech understanding. Made my day reading your comment.

Ha ha that's right I forgot about your tiger slug! Did that work out for you as a pet or did it roam away?

This is my dilemma too! Most of the threads in my instance are politics.

It doesn't help that I'm actually quite interested in politics.

I just don't like discussing them online because of the minority of people can't remain civil.

Is it partly a timezone thing?

Thanks, I will bookmark that!

I'm learning so much it stuff by lurking around here! You guys are single handedly catching me up to this decade.

[–] liv 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Okay, looking forward to it!

That's unnecessarily cruel. There's no need to tell me I'm "no sane person" or to say I "need to learn what a joke looks like", just because of one misunderstanding that I literally just apologized to you for straight away.

We're on the same side about this issue. All I was trying to do, was agree with you and share ideas for how I think left wing people like me could maybe influence middle New Zealand to see how bad the fast track bill is.

I know I'm poorly socialized these days. I don't get to practice much because I hardly ever get to have conversations irl any more, but it felt friendly here in lemmy.nz until right this moment.

I don't know if you're having a bad day or if it's always like this, but I just... Idk, I don't come here to get into arguments and be called names, it's depressing, so I won't be doing this with you any more.

Anyway, thank you for all the articles you posted in recent months. I have really enjoyed reading them and your thoughts. Nga mihi.

That's a bit disappointing. I probably do have good search skills but the way search engines are going it takes more effort these days to get the same level of results, so I was aspiring for something that could help if I ever got to the point I could afford it.

Next time I'm doing a big project I'll give the 100 free searches a whirl.

I was hoping it was more like vivisimo/clusty which used to clump results in patterns, or old version altavista which used to dredge up 10x more results than other engines.

Good on you for supporting tech goals and stuff. That's really cool.
