This is the cool thing about NZ. They’re so geographically out of play, they can do/say whatever, geopolitically, without anyone caring.

What’s someone gonna do? Go fight them out in the carpark ten blocks away just to get absolutely nothing out of it?

I think the only time they upset someone was when they disallowed bringing nuclear vessels and aircraft into their territory.

USA: “You’ll regret that.”
NZ: “Meh…”

Three decades on, NZ still just chillin’. No need for the protection of the Pacific fleet lol

Alaska will- oh, they fell off the edge of the world.

I find it unlikely that it would be economy-based since that is already why English surpassed French in the first place as the two were competing. You are not factoring globalisation which is already established in depth. When Africa joins in, they won’t just appear in a position of economic influence, they will be joining like everyone else does—see India—initially scrambling to get their business out there.

Because it’s easier just to toggle on the keywords US, Trump, ICE and take a break for a few days.

I find LLMs more useful. At the least it can steer searches in the right direction, rather than combatting a results page full of ads and SEO bloat.

For many things, the first page of a Google search is full of uninformative or misleading clickbait. Rarely will you get the actual information you’re seeking. It’s an awful search engine.

Yes. Please, go on…

Oh, Il he playing King Gizzard nd the Lizard Wizard all day since I noticed they dropped everything off streaming services and the new album (like their 27th now?) is only in BC 👍

I thought it was native. Click the three dots next to a result. I don’t have an extensions for it.

So could be a little from column A and B. Unfortunate coincidence that may not be entirely coincidence but may also just he coincidence.

If it continues any more, coincidence is off the cards

I’m OOTL. I assume some sort of funding or regulation got dropped or is it just freaky coincidence?

Edit: Lol, I love the two downvotes. “Hey! Fuck you for not knowing something and being curious enough to ask, you fucking asshole!”

Exactly right, Joe.

Does she understand that being over-hygenic obviously has some negative impacts? Sure it is definitely better at preventing infection, but she’s also reducing her exposure to good microbes which is what we rely on to not form allergies, asthma, and even some diseases.

This article summarises it well, but here’s a topic-specific part.

But not all of our body has to be washed so stringently. Overall obsessive washing “disrupts the normal flora which keep you healthy by competing with harmful organisms”, says Ruebush. “Operating your immune system in an environment of sterility is like a sensory deprivation for the brain. Eventually, it goes insane, thus the increased amount of allergy and autoimmunity associated with persons who try too hard to avoid all exposure to anything in their environment,” she says.

Around the house, the solution for fighting the wrong kind of bacteria is not excessive cleaning, but timely cleaning.

You should at least being making your own stand for your own health and don’t let her ways permanently compromise you down the track.

Especially something like Black Flag. People have fun and learn a lot about history from those games.

I suspect it was a chance of liberation for the girl that she needed to act on. Kudos, it appears to have worked for her and I hope she’s doing better now.

Classic online keyboard warrior. Being such an edgelord for the sake of pointless upvotes.

No

It’s exactly that attitude that proves the latest generation—who are also my peers—are lost. The internet is slowly becoming a cesspool of social problems and you’re at.the forefront of driving it into the ground.

I bet you don’t even know where that sign came from and what it means 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️🙄

Is it always sunny in Douchville or is that to hide your fascist face because you’re all big and tough until someone dedoxes you?

I bet you don’t even know what happened in 1998.

There is the caveat of business practices which are often unknown to the consumer—think of all the times businesses have been busted and then(temporarily) boycotted for it. But, yeah, consumers consume and should be well aware of their consumption.
